the body on the Banks farm, near here.
The man was last seen about two
weeks ago and is supposed to have
been dead about that long, The body
was taken to LeMars and an inquest
held by Coroner Wlltgen. So far as
known here. there were no marks OF
Identification. The man apparently
was about 90 years of age. Tile had

When The man made his appearance
in this community he had every APP
pearance of being demented. He call
ed at several homes without apparent
motives and frightened the inmates by
his peculiar actions. At the Miner
vile blacksmith shop he bumped his
head violently against the wall of the
building several times, apparently try
ing to injure himself
After conference among the men OF

should be placed in restraint and del

pose. The men made a search for the
eccentric stranger but could not find
him. They had no further trace until

Red Oak, Nov. 29.--In the course
OF the several hours he spent on the
witness stand testifying on his own
behalf Detective J. y. Wilkerson was
permitted to explain the circumstances
which led him to the conclusion, then
ard there that the friends of Mr..
Jones had thwarted my plans and pur-
poses to indict Mr.. Mansfield and
-Whipple whom / considered that had
substantive and sufficient evidence to
itldict.'' The circumstances Of which
'Wilkerson related surrounded his
bringing Of Mansfield to Red Oak to
appear before the grand jury. which
failed to bring bill against him for
completely in the Villisca ak murders.
Following is Wilkersons story as
told on the witness stand:
IT arrived in Red Oak with Sherin
Jackson, coming up from Kansas City,
leaving Kansas City on the night OF
the 14th Of June and arriving in Red
Oak on the morning Of the 10th OF
June, and as soon asEI got to town, or
by the time got to the Johnson house,
the first man L met told me that Mr..
jones, who was senator at that time,
had been here and employed an at
torney, that he had employed Ralph
Pringle as his attorney thought
that was passing strange. because
Mansfield had Just been arrested. AS
/ said, I thought that was passins
strange because Mansfield had just
been arrested and there had Sbeen
nothing said about SenatorH ZONES
connection with this case. There hao
been no public accusation. The papers
had contained nothing about it. In

ne tion with the matter, andEi began
