Texas court records in Moore's hands.
Wilkerson, white with anger, told
Notary Public c. II. Frame. who with
District Court Reporter Jesse Camp,
was taking the evidence, that he did
not want the dispositions.
Il do responded Havner, and the
testimony which Wilkerson expected
would lie of such value to him will be
part of the evidence which he will
have to face at Ottumwa.
Attorney General llavner, in his
cross-eXamination of Moore. also pro-
duced the affidavit of Archibald c.
Sweet. serving a life sentence for
murder al Leavenworth. alleging that
Wilkerson visited the jail at Dodge
City before his conviction, urging
him to assist in laying the murder of
Nellie Dyers to different prominent
citizens, promising to secure his
(Sweet's) acquittal and to divide the
offered reward.
For the first time in his long and
sensational career as an actor on the
Montgomery county stage, Wilkerson
was yesterday without following.
The crowd which had followed in his
steps and championed his cause had
completely dwindled away.

the furnishing of free legal aid and
advice to soldiers and sailors and
their dependents, and in the carrying
out of this plan a committee of law
yers from each county has been ap-
pointed TO serve in furnishing such
aid and advice. There are many
matters constantly arising calling
for legal aid or advice and it is the
plan of the committee that the ser
vice shall be furnished free to all
soldiers, sailors and their dependents.
Amy legal matters arising involving
any of the classes named will be ham
died by the committee and those en-
titled to receive this aid and advice
may apply thereto for such aid and
advice. There are constantly arts
ing questions, such as taxes, claims,
insurance, debt indemnities, and
many others, and the State Bar As

AUDUBON PEOPLE ARE
DONATING MANY RECORDS

I'VE must have music. 1t does to-
ward tightening our task and stimu-
lating a real patriotic spirit, what
nothing else can do" writes Cor
poral w. T. Robertson. Jr.. of the
303d machine gun battalion. Camp
Deveus. I've have a photograph in
our barracks and it serves as one
of our paramount sources OF amuse-
ment. If it We're carried away half
that makes barrack life merry would
be gone"
To bring music to the men over
seas, in transports and here in the
environments is the patriotic duty of
every phonograph owner. according
to Ms Vivian ,Burnett, the author
and composer, who is acting chair
man OF the National Photograph
Records Recruiting Corps, with head
quarters at 81 East 40th street. New
York City, which is a clearing house
for distributing music to the boys.
During the week of Oct. 26 TO Nov
2. to be known as Recruiting Week
for Stacker Records, the several
hundred local committees of the
corps expect to collect from homes
throughout the United States a mil
lion records which are now not doing
their patriotic bit.
Records of every kind are wanted,
classical ones as well as rag records,
according to Eric Dudley, Army Song
Leader at Camp U4,on, who writes:
1T must not be thought that the
boys only like the popular song and
rag records. They listen just as
appreciatively to the first class op-
cratic records. You must realize
that we have all classes in these
camps We have boys who not only
know the good records but who have
themselves sung and played in the
best musical combinations in hhe
country.
81 have had many boys who have
sung such things as the Pagliacoi
"Prologo," the "Salve Dimora" from
Faust, Handels where Fer You
Walk" and hundreds of other class
les beautifully, and these boys are
not changed when they come into the
army, only for the better. If the peo-
! pie at home only knew what good
their Stacker records might be do
ing they would certainly rush them
TO the front"
Mrs George Brady. chairman of
the local committee of the National
Phonograph Records Recruiting
Corps requests that those who wish
to contribute machines, records or
needles send them to either the Au-
dubon Music company or Alderman
company's store. where they will be
assorted and repacked for shipment
to the soldiers and sailors here and
overseas

RCMORS CAUSE OF
TROUBLE At DODGE

The past two weeks among the
soldier boys at Camp Dodge has been
one OF feverish anxiety. There we're
so many outlandish rumors floating
about over the country as to condi-
lions here that thousands of letters
came pouring into the camp from all
over the country; anxious parents or
others, making inquiry as to the re-
ported death toll, the number of sick
men and the conditions of this or
that particular person. Not only this,
but there were rumors that doctors
and nurses had been caught in the
act of innOculating patients with
deadly virus and upon the establish
ment of guilt were taken out and
shot. Another rumor was that "A
guard at the water reserve caught
man climbing a ladder to get at the
top Of the enclosure. After being or
dered to halt and refusing the guard
shot him and upon examination it
was found that he carried bag con-
tanning enough poison to have con-
taminated the entire water supply.
The number of deaths was greatly
exaggerated and the statement was
freely made that several car loads of
collins were ordered by express To
add to the anxiety occasioned by
these ridiculous rumors the authori-
ties have refused to give out any in
formation as to the death rate or to
inform the country as to the number
Of cases of sickness. This greatly
aggravated the matter and finally
the Des Moines newspapers appealed
to representatives of the associated
press in Washington to ascertain
from the War department exact con-
ditions. The War department an
nounced that there were 213 deaths
from ali cases for thirty day per-
iod from September 8 to October ~.
This piece OF information greatly re-
lieved the tension and excitement
