In Murder

Evidence of an discriminating ma
ture, connecting Edmund F. Warner,
alias Eddie Burns as an accom-
plies In the Great Northern rohhery
and killing In Moorhead, was obtain
ed by the state late Friday after
noon, at the preliminary hearing of
the defendant. .-.t
Following his testimony that q hat
and cap and two colored handker-
'chiefs-red and blue-were worn by
himself and Fred Anderson at the

duced these articles as exhibits which
had been found behind a radiator in
Warmers room at st. Cloud. where
he was arrested. and which were
then identifed by M. H. Rhea, night
baggageman. as similar to the ones
worn by the alleged bandits the night
of the Moorhead murder.
M. H, Rhea. in his testimony, iden-
tified Edmund F. Warner as one OF
the men in the hold-up and killing
OF the night agent.
M. H. Rhea, baggagenlan at the
Great Northern in Moorhead, told
the court in his testimony that the
men wore blue and red handker-
chiefs, corresponding to the descrip-
ton of the handkerchiefs introduced
as exhibits.
Rhea was not able to positively
identify Warner, only saying that
from the mans general appearances
his walk ETC., he thought War
ner was the man.
The hat. cap and two handkerchiefs
were found by Chief Of Police Ed
ward f. Brick of st. Cloud, who with
Special Agent Hartmann of the
Great Northern. were responsible for
the arrest Of Warner.
The handkerchiefs, according to
Chief Of Police Brick OF st. Cloud,

\ The admiralty statement giving the
details of the North sea incident
reads:
Two very fast and heavily armed
German raiders attacked q convoy in
the North sea about midway between
the Shetland islands and the Nor
wegian coast on Wednesday. Two
British destroyers, His Majesty's s
Ships Mary Rose, Lieutenant Com
mander Chas. Fox; and Strongbow,
Lieutenant Commander Edw. Brooke,
which formed the anti-submarine es-
cort, at once engaged the enemy YES
sells and fought until they were sunk
after a short and unequal engage
ment.
Their gallant action held the Ger
man raiders sufficiently long to en-
able three merchant vessels to es-
cape.
Anxious to make good their escape
before British forces could intercept
them, no effort was made to rescue
the crews of the sunken British
destroyers and the Germans left the
doomed merchant ships whilst they
were still sinking. thus enabling the
British patrol craft which arrived
shortly afterward to rescue some
thirty Norwegians and Others, re-

act once more and further degraded
itself by this disregard Of the his
toric chivalry of the sea.
THE German official communique
on this subject states that the at
tack took place within territorial
waters in the neighborhood Of the
Shetland islands and that all the es-
oort vessels. including the de6troyers,
were sunk with the exception of one

Petrograd, Oct. 20.-The Russian
ministry Of marine has issued the
following statement regarding the
naval battle in the Gulf Of Riga:

two battleships Of the Koenig type.

Bakhireff, who hoisted his flag on
the Cruiser Bayan, accompanied by
the battleships Grjdanin and Slava,
steamed from the eastern part Of
Moon island to engage the enemy,
preceded by torpedo boat patrols
which withdrew before the enemy.
''At $3.50 o'clock the enemy opened
fire on our torpedo boats and our

AT 10:30 our detachments engag-

torpedo crashed into the engine room

While the deepest sympathy was
expressed in official circles for those
who lost their lives, relief was gem
eraI over the fact that the vessel had
not met her fate while on the way
over with troops. Had the attack
been delivered while the Antilles was
on her trip to France, the loss OF life
probably would have been appalling.
She plunged below so swiftly that
few could have survived.
Interest is intense in the manner
the submarine managed to elude the
protecting convoy. The fact that the
ship went down in few minutes,
coupled with the necessity. of rescu-
ing survivors, made impossible, it Is
believed. any attempt to locate the
U-boat.
The heaviest loss of life, 1t is
thought, was among the engineers
and crew of the engine room. stun
ned by the explosion that virtually
broke the ship in two, these men
must have had little time to reach
the deck. The absence of casualties
among the army and navy officers
aboard is attributed to the fact that
their staterooms lay along the decks
from which they could jump to the
waters below in hope of being picked
IL is believed that the attack was
made well out at sea, since 1T took
two days for news of the disaster
to reach Washington. Survivors are
thought to be safe ashore.
The loss Of the Antilles marks the
first impairment of a transport serv-
ice that has operated successfully
since Americas active entrance into
the war.
