he believed Redin's life would have
been saved had the police physician
and other members of the depart
ment responded promptly, as they
should have done when they re-
ceived the distress call.
Rhedin's death was directly due
to the failure of the heads of the
police department to provide the
necessary first aid. There was no
physician at the station at the time
the emergency call was turned in.
Neither were there any policemen
there to respond at the time.
Following six deaths this season
by drowning, some due, it is

have not been required to. remain
at their posts of duty, Commits

orders that one of the city physi-
clans shall hold himself in readi-

clared Mr.. Werlich.

physician now is required to re-
main at the station at all times

CHARGED With
KILLING MOTHER
Complaint Filed Against John
G. Shafer After More
Than Two Months
Investigation.

Minden, Neb., July l9.-(Special.)
After more than two months in
vestigation of the shooting and kill
ing of Mrs. Mary Shafer of this
city, County Attorney ]. L. Nc
Pheely filed . charge Of matricide
against John 6. Shafer, the wo-
mans son. The alleged murder &C.
Cured on April %. 1919.
John Shafer, late husband OF the
murdered woman, many years ago
was convicted by County Attorney
McPheely Of the murder of . dep
uty sheriff of Kearney county.
Shafer at that time was sentenced
to be hanged, but the supreme court
later reversed the decision, acting
upon the, petition of former COM
rades with whom he served through
out the civil war.
According to the complaint John
G. Shafrr murdered his mother, who
at the time of her death was IS
years old, by shooting her twice in
the head and neck. AT the time of
her death, Shafer notified the au-
thorities that his mother was shot
in a mysterious way, or committed
suicide. As soon as physicians ex-
amined the body, the suicide theory
was dismissed, as it was discovered
that either of the two shots would
have Immediately paralyzed her in
such a day that she would have
been unable to fire second shot.
1t is remarkable coincidence
that the murder of Mrs. Shafer oc-
Cured exactly to the day and hour
II years after the murder COM
mitted by Bert Taylor, who later
was hanged for the offense. Taylor,
at that time living just block and
half away from the Shafer home,
first assaulted two of his nieces.
then killed them and tried to burn
the house. He was arrested on the
Pacific coast and brought back for
trial.
While John G. Shafer emphati-
cally denies the murder of his
mother, the county attorney now
claims to have absolute evidence of
his guilt.
According to residents Of Minden,
Mrs. Mary Shafer at one time was
an inmate of the state asylum for
insane. AT various times she is said
to have been arrested on drunken

Maloney Case Cited.
The case reported by Murray
to the city council and on which
Commissioners Ringer, Ure, FOWL
and Falconer based their joint reso-
luton, referred to a returned SOL
der, Frank Maloney. The judge
asserted that Prosecutor Murray
asked if it would be all right with
the court if Maloney would be dis
charged. P. c. Heafey corroborated
Judge Holmes in the statement that
Murray in effect asked for the re-
lease of Maloney. A witness whom
the Judge will offer if the occasion
arises, he says, will testify that he
observed Maloney and Mr.. Heafey
shake hands with Murray and thank
him for what he had dope in behalf
of Maloney.
Murray's charges would make it

charged Maloney without just cause.
Maloney was arrested for having
