Wick Gueringer Gets Another
Chance for His Life.
Was Sentenced to Hang fOI
Kansas City Crime.
DENIED APPEAL BY JUDGE
Missouri Supreme Court Re.
verses and RemandS Case.
Others Implicated With Him
Are Now i'm Prison.

jefferson City. Mo, June 29.-The
supreme court reversed and remanded
today the case of the state against
Wick Gueringer, convicted in Kansas
City of having attacked Mrs. Gertrude
Shidler, a nurse. in March. 1914.
GIeringer was under sentence to hang.
The case was reversed because the
trial court allowed Gueringer only
fifteen minutes in which to file mo-
ton for new trial.
The verdict of the jury which found
Gueringer guilty was returned at
11:45 O'Clock the Saturday night be-
fore the January term of court eX-
pired His attorneys maintained they
did not have time between the verdict
of the jury and the expiration of the
term of court to file a motion for
new trial. AS a result the motion was
filed the Monday following and re-
fused by the trial judge because it had
not been legally presented.
The opinion today was filed by
Judge Farris. Gueringer now will
have to be tried again.
The two men jointly indicted with
Gueringer are in the penitentiary.
Others Lured Woman.
Kansas City, June 29.-The assault
of Mrs. Gertrude Shidler occurred in
a room in the downtown business dis
trict, where the woman alleged sire
had been lured. Gueringer was al
legged to have been the leader Of six
men who attacked her. Floyd Jacobs,
prosecuting attorney of Jackson coun-
ty, was not in his office when news
of the decision reached here. He said
recently it would be utterly unfair to
the state if Gueringer's case were re-
VerSed.
'It probably would mean that Guer-
niger would go free" said the prose-
cutor while men less guilty, 1arri-
son and LewkOwitz, are serving their
prison terms. / don't know what sort
of a showing we could make in anoth-
er trial. 1t is doubtful If Mrs. Sh1d-
Ter would come to Kansas City TO tes-
tify again. She nearly broke down at
the last trial"
Mrs Shidler is said to be in Indian
apOlis now
The supreme court recently af
firmed the sentence of Maurice Lew
kowitz, who lured Mrs. Shidler to the
place. Oscar Harrison, one of her
a ssailants, was sentenced to twenty
four years in prison and the supreme
court affirmed his sentence.
There is no appeal for these men.
They must serve their sentence unless
they are pardoned or paroled.

DAKOTA HAS BEST CROPS.
Sioux City Man Returns From visi
to Nejuhborjnc State

Sioux City, July 30.-General crop
conditions in the vicinity Of Messing
ton Springs, S. D.. are excellent and
are more promising than in many years
past, according to j. B. Alexander.
vice president of the National Bank Of
Commerce, who has just completed an
inspection Of that community.
Mr.. Alexander reports the farmers
have a large acreage OF wheat and oats
the latter averaging about fifty bushels
per acre. Heavy crops of alfalfa are
in evidence, altho not much timothy
and clover The acreage Of the latter
two are proportionately small Pas
ture and hay lands are in excellent con-
dition, as might be anticipated from
the character of the season. In fact,
in nearly every pasture the grass is so
abundant that hay may still be cut with
the average number of cattle feeding
upon the same LOT.
Corn. on the other hand Mr. Alex
ander says, does not compare with the
crop in this section. altho they have
a variety which natures earlier. An
other ten days is expected TO assure the
small grain crop and a vast amount of
feed.
Mr.. Alexander was also very com
plimentary about the high grade Of
cattle which he found and the splen-
did gain over past years. The shipped
in cattle, he says. are of inferior grade
and easily distinguished from the To-
cal animals

BLOW AT U. S. SHIPPING.
Great Britain Takes Precautions to
Prevent German Spying.

Washington, July 3o.-Consul Cen
eral Skinner at London today notified
the state department Of a British regu-
lation which requires sailors on neu-
trail ships visiting British ports to be
provided with passports or identifica-
ton papers to present such papers for
registry if remaining more than
twenty-four hours in British waters.
Tire bureau Of navisatiou will be
asked to work out some means of COM
plying with the order without embar-
RAISING American shipping.
Large proportions of the crews of
American ships are not native Ameri-
cans nor naturaliZed Americans and
can not receive passports from the
United States. The present difficulty
may be an embarrassment to Ameri-
can trade. 1t was explained that the
order issued is aimed at German spies.
Replies from Germany to the Ameri-
can representation on forging of
American passports is not expected be-
fore next week at the earliest. Off
Gals here believe that Berlin officials
will take time for investigation. No
specific treaty provision covers the
case, but forged passports are breaches
of amenity and courtesy between two
governments which seldom go un-
noticed.
1t has been suggested that the
British government may be forced to
adopt the rigid French system Of visit
| ing passports. France.requires pass
| port to be deposited with the consul
general for investigation three days
before sailing. This measure caused
! some Inconvenience to travellers and
J for that reason has not been adopted
| by Great Britain 80 far.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1915-07-30

plants will call forth from the Ger
man government disavowal and an
assurance that Berlin will prevent IN
the future any of its agents from
committing such offenses.
Nevertheless there is little doubt here
that competent authorities IN Berlin
are and have been fully cognizant OF
what has been going on. The name OF
a Captain Prieger of the German adj
miralty, and said to be head OF the
spy system conducted there, has been
given as the name Of the man who
was furnishing the spies with the
forged passports.
A Captain Schnipzer also is naped
as German officer who has been CIV.
ing out forged American passports.
The number of the cases In which
evidence of these activities has come to
light leaves no room for doubt that, as
the confessed spies stated, 1t was the
regular practice to forge American
passports and send German spies to
England and other countries in the
guise of American citizens.
The expectation here is, however,
that the procedure of the German gov
eminent when confronted with these
forgeries, will be just as when one of
llS spies is captuTS0 III Lille " PeoSo'
The action in such cases always Is to
disavow any connection whatever with
the spy and repudiate him completely.
These disavowals deceive no one, but
are still accepted by other governments
to the extent that no complaint is
made against the government by which
the spy was employed.
1t is not doubted that II Germany ac-
cordingly disavows all knowledge Of the
fact that American passports were be-
ing forged by Its agents and gives as
suranees that 1t will take steps to pre-
vent its agents committing such Of
lenses, the matter will end there pro-
vided there are no further cases OF the
sort.

GERMANS FORGE PASSPORTS.
Proof Sent to Gerard With instructions
:. o.o+est Activities Of Agents.

Washington, July 30.-As d result OF
investigations now by the United States
government, the state department has
instructed Ambassador Gerard at Ber-
lin to bring to the attention OF the
German government evidence indicat-
ing that agents Of the German govern
ment have been engaged in forging
American passports and furnishing
them to German spies.
Evidence collected by the state de-
partment's representatives thru vari-
Gus channels tends to establish the
fact concerning which complaint Is
made. one of the forged passports was
found on German spy. The state de-
partment also has extensive data, com
piled from the statements OF self
fessed German spies, arrested in Eng
land. More than one case is involved
It is understood that the American
representations are friendly in charac-
ter and do not charge that the Ger
man government Is held responsible fol
the forgeries. 1t is expected the COM
