porter, was found guilty of murder in
the second degree here today for
shooting and killing A. c. Thomas,

twelve years in the penitentiary.
Miss Colby, a years old, shot

she reprimanded him for Withholding
news when she visited him in her
capacity as reporter for newspaper
in Thompson Falls.
She asserted that John c. Manire,
editor of the paper and A. S. Aims
worth, its publisher, had urged her to
make Thomas apologize, and both
were arrested on charges OF having
instigated the murder Manire was
acquitted, Ainsworth's case is pend
ing.
The defense sought to prove that
Miss Colby, whose mother, Mrs, Jane
F, Coolidge. of Worcester, Mass, tes-
tihed to indications of hereditary in
sanity, was mentally deranged and ir-
responsible because of the alleged in
suits heaped upon her by Thomas
The defense asked the jury to acquit

JONES DENIES FELT
HOSTILITY TO MOORE
Plaintiff in Red Oak Damage
Suit Cross Examined
on Stand.
MOORE BUSINESS RIVAL

Red Oak, Ia, Dec. 6.-(Special Tel
egram. )--Senator F. F. Jones went on
the witness stand again this morning
to continue his testimony in cross
examination in the case in which he
is suing Detective J, N. Wilkerson for
100000 damages. Attorney Mitchell
at once plunged into the story OF the
Villisca axe murder OF 1912 and the
investigations made to find the mur-
dercr.
Senator Jones was asked relative to
letter he wrote to Senator Arney~of
Marshalltown, in which he stated that
Wilkerson was hrst-class rascal, and
Jones replied that he based his state
ment on letters he had received re-
garding Wilkerson's record.
He said that he made a trip to Mar
shalltown on October 28, 1916, to see
Mrs. Vina Tompkins, who testified Of
the alleged murder plot near the
slaughter house, in order to get her
statement from her as to what she
saw and heard at the slaughter house.
He said there was great discrepancy
between what he had heard she said
and what Wlkerson reported she said,
and he wanted to get the truth of the
matter.
He said that Joe Moore worked for
him in the hardware store from about
1905 to 1909, and that he went into
business for himself Immediately after
leaving the Jones store. He emphati-
cally denied that there was ever any
trouble between himself and Moore.
Mrs. Mary Moore, 76 years old,
mother of the murdered Joe Moore,
took the stand for few minutes be-
fore court adjourned this evening,
tcstifying briefly as to the time that
her son worked for F. F. Jones.
1t is thought that the case will end

AMERICAN VESSEL
IS SUNK BY SUBSEA
John P. Lambert Sold to
French Line and on Way
for Delivery Destroyed.
NO NOTICE GIVEN TO CREW

New York, Dec. 6.-The steamship
John Lambert, listed in the maritime
register as an American vessel, was
shelled and sunk without warning by
a German submarine off the Isle of
Wight on November %, according to
members of the crew, Americans, who
arrived here to-day on the French
line ship Espagne from Bordeaux.
The John Lambert was one OF
twelve vessels Guilt on the Great lakes
which the French line agreed to pur.
chase. According to arrivals today
the vessel had not been turned over
to the French interests, but was on its
way to Havre for delivery there.
The attack took place at 4:30 p. m.,
when the ship was twenty-five miles
south of the Isle of Wight, members
of the crew said. The engineer, Ed
ward Harrison of this city, said that
the U boat first made its presence
known by sending a shell crashing
through the John Lambert's bridge
and that the firing continued during
the time the crew was taking to the
boats, twelve shots in all being fired.
The crew, numbering sixteen, all
of whom arrived here today without
their captain, said they rowcd forty
miles to the French coast, being on
the water twelve hours, and that
shortly after the John Lambert went
down they saw the submarine attack
and sink two unidentified vessels--a
steamship and bark.
The John Lambert was the last OF
the twelve Great lakes craft to be
taken to France for delivery.
Eighty members of the crews of the
four vessels were passengers on the
Espagne today.
John Bernadus, second officer of the
John Lambert, said that the vesseI
flew the French flag when it went
down and had been using that flag
although not yet formally turned over
to the French.
He said he was on the bridge al
the time the attack began and that
the first shot struck the water about
ten feet ahead OF the ships bow. The
second, he said, hit the bridge.
AS soon as the submarine opened
fire on us, ordered the French flag
run up and the men to take to the
boats Bcrnardus said.

DAN CUPID TAKES
FALL FROM STECHER
Dodge Wonder and Miss Fran
ces Ehlers Married at
Fontenelle Hotel.
WILL MAKE HOME HERE

Joe Stecher, Nebraska's wrestling
pride, came down from Dodge yester-
day with Miss Frances Ehlers OF
Scribner, Neb., and were married at
Hotel Fontenelle at 2:50 o'clock by
Rev. Charles w. Savidge. Only the
brides sister, Miss Marguerite Ehlers,
and bridegroom's brother, Anton
Stecher, accompanied them. Joe Het-
manek, Stechers manager, came on
an early afternoon train.
No one but their parents were told
of the young peoples plans. Miss
Ehlers, who is only l8, is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Claus Ehlers. Her
father is president of the First Ma
tional bank at Scribner. Stecher is
%. The couple met at the West
Point races in 1914. She is the young
woman who watched Joe with such
keen interest in his first Omaha
match.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stecher left last
evening for New York, where he will
fill several wrestling engagements.
On their return the end of the month
they will live in Omaha for some time
until they decide where they will set
tie permanently.
(Which is harder, getting married
or getting ready for wrestling
match?" the bashful young wrestling
champion was asked.
a wrestling, match. But they're
tive different things" he replied with
slow smile.
Approaching marriage seemed to
have had its influence on the hitherto
laconic Dodge pride. This is the first
time on record Joe answered ques-
ton with more than one or two words
and it was noted that he laughed and
smiled frequently while conversing
with his bride and reporters.
Mrs. Stecher seems as retiring in
her nature as her famous husband. She
is beautiful girl of the blond, blue
eyed type, with fresh coloring. She
is quite tall and wore a black velvet
coat trimmed with bands of brown
fur, and small black hat, the crown
of which was pale pink and gold bro
cade with a touch of white. For the
wedding, she wore a mustard colored
Bolivia cloth suit with blouse of the
same shade of chiffon and Georgette
crepe, and light-colored shoes. She
carried yellow chrysanthemums.
Her sister, Miss Marguerite, wore
black velvet suit and large black
hat and carried the same flowers. She
and Anton Stecher leave for their
homes tonight.
When it was noised in the court
house that Joe Stecher was taking out
marriage license, all legal business
was suspended. County officials rang
vainly for stenographers, tax receipts
lay unnoticed, jurymen left jury boxes
and lawyers argued to thin air. All
went to gaze. Joe Stecher's wedding
was of more moment than the mar
riage of president.
Mrs. Stecher while naturally an ad-
mirer of athletics, is more musically
inclined than anything. She has had
quite training in voice and is said
to be talented along this line. She is
also a great out-of-doors girl

Crib Bed WW Sdye
L1fe of a Little Girl

A crib bed-who will give one
to help in saving the life of little
child?
tuberculosis is slowly eating
away the strength of a little z
year-old Omaha girl. Her parents
are poor and they have a large
family to care for. If she receives
proper care, good, nourishing food
and has plenty of fresh air, the
doctor says she will recover. 1t
is, of course, necessary that the
child be kept by herself but the
mother cannot bear to let her
leave the home. The family is too
proud to appeal to charity, with
the result that the little girl is
fading away. If some charitable
person will supply the little crib
bed, others will see that the child
has proper food and attention and
lying in the fresh air, she will
certainly live.

Mackensen's Forces Capture
Capital of Roumania and

way Junction.
CUTS OFF ENEMY RETREAT
Conquest of Southern Part of
Kingdom, $1,000 Square
Miles, Completed.
is ANNOUNCED AT BERLIN

Berlin. Dec 6.-(By Wireless to
Sayvillc) - Bucharest. capital OF
( Roumania, has been captured, it was
officially announced today.
Plocchti the important railway
junction town thirty-six miles north
west OF Bucharest, also has been
taken.
The capture OF Plocchti, on the
main railway line running north from
Bucharest, cuts the main railway line
of retreat for the Roumanian armies
operating in the Bucharest region.
The official statement does not in
dicatc whether the entry of the Teu-
tonic forces into Bucharest and
Ploechti was simultaneous. The cap
ture of Ploechti before that of the
capital would be far more serious for
the Roumanians. Many military OBJ
servers looked for the Roumanians
not to attempt defense OF the capi-
tai at the last, expecting an evacua-
ton in time to save the forces defend
ing it by withdrawal of the railway
route remaining to them.
The taking OF Bucharest virtually
completes the conquest by the Teu-
tonic forces of the southern section OF
the Roumanian kingdom, embracing
territory of more than $4,000 square
miles.

London, Dec o.-The king has in
vitcd David Lloyd George to form
a ministry and it is understood that
Lloyd George has accepted.
The Press association says it learns
that on Bonar Laws advice, King
George asked Lloyd George to form
government and that it understands
on good authority that Lloyd George
consented to accept the task and will
endcavor to form national ministry
without regard to party differences.
The court circular tonight announc-
ing the political audiences and confer
cnces at the palace today, adds:
The king gave further audience
this evening to Bonar Law, who inti-
mated that he was unable to form an
administration Thereupon the. king
summoned Lloyd George who, at his
majesty's request undertook to en-
dcavor to form an administration"
London, Dec. GA. Bonar Law to-
day declined the invitation OF King
George to undertake the formation
of new ministry and the king then
sent for David Lloyd-George, who is
believed, like Mr., Bonar Law, to have
Informed the sovereign of the diff
cultes which he would have to face
if he undertook the construction of a
cabinet.
This afternoon the king initiated
negotiations i'll the hope of compos-
ing the differences among the men,
bers of the Asquith administration,
Mr.. Asquith and all the other mem
bers being summoned to Buckingham
palace.
Mr.. Lloyd-George already was
there. A. J. Balfour, Arthur Hender-
son and Mr.. Bonar Law soon arrived.
They and other members had been in
conference with the king for some
time before Mr.. Asquith on receiv-
ing an intimation that his presence
was required, hurriedly left to Join
them.--7 . -,,..,.,,,
The earl Of Derby said today Ne
believed it possible that an agree
ment which would bring the coalition
back to power might be reached in
regard to the membership of the pro-
posed small war council, the difficulty
which wrecked the coalition.
Carson Stands by Ulster.
The nationalists, who Withdrew
their support from Premier Asquith
because of his failure to carry out
the agreement made by Mr.. Lloyd
George for bringing home rule into
force Immediately, would hardly be
likely to follow cabinet of which
the unionist leader was the chief and
in which Sir Edward Carson was in
cluded. 1t had been suggested their
support might be obtained by grant
ing their demands regarding Ireland
and it was even said Sir Edward w5s
party to this, but the Ulster leader
telegraphed to his supporters in Bel
fast denial of the report, saying:
The proposals attributed to me are
without foundation. Ulster men know
my views and my unabated loyalty
to them"
Labor Party Behind Asquith.
Another difficulty was presented bv
the labor party, whose leader, George
Wardle, announced yesterday the in
tention of the labor members in the
House of Commons to support Mr..
Asquith. They are meeting to take
a final decision. The Manchester
Guardian, which generally voices the
opinion of the provincial members,
expressed the opinion that Mr.. Bonar
Law would be more likely to effect a
combination which the House of
Commons would support than Mr..
Lloyd d-George would be and added
