Skeleton of -the Pass.

That there was an overwheln
sentiment in favor Of amending the
city charter so as to take the control
of the city election out OF the hands
of the city clerk, cannot be denied.
The Watsonian organ knows this if
it knows anything. and perhaps it is
more familiar with the facts that
gave rise to this sentiment than we
are. and perhaps could give some
very interesting information along
this line. We have mo desire to turn
back and resurrect the skeletons of
the past and exhibit them. to the pub
lie in all their grinning hideousness.
1t will not be a pleasant task for us.
neither will it be pleasant for the
Watson organ and some Of ITS very
close friends who are backing it in
its vicious attacks upon everything
and everybody that does not come
within the limits of their own mar
row views. We can give a bill OF

their victim and went to police head
quarters. They were Chief of Police

HENSON FURNISHES AN ALIBI
Kansas City Detective Who Believes
Sweet Innocent and Henson
Guilty Man Il Ordered
Discharged

Dodge City, Nov. 2.-Clint Hen
son, who Archie Sweet accused OF
the murder of Nellie Byers. the
Grant county school teacher, Is to
be released. A telegram authorizing
the release has been received from
H. w. Stubs. county attorney OF
Grant county.
Last Thursday Stubs wired Gov
ernor Capper that developments
showed Archie Sweet, the other man
suspected, to be innocent and ask
ed the governor to offer a reward
of $500 for the arrest Of the muir
derer. The reward was offered.
Sweet is to be held, as the Grant
county citizens say he is guilty.
They also say that Henson proved
an alibi and should not have been
arrested. Grant county citizens left
Dodge City to investigate the abb
Of Henson and have telegraphed
back that 1t is absolute.
]. N. Wilkerson, the Kansas City
detective who has been in charge
of the investigation has been dis
charged. Grant county people were
said to have become dissatisfied
with his manner of conducting the
case. Wilkerson's theory, 1t is said,
Is that Sweet is innocent and Hen
SON guilty of the murder Of Miss
Byers.
Upon his own request Sweet was
placed in the cell with Henson to
substantiate certain of his state
ments. Previous to the meeting OF
the two men, detectives installed a
dictagraph in the cell to check up
the claims of Sweet and to hear the
answers that Henson might make to
him.
