EMERSON WAS KILLED BY
OWN OFFSPRING.
ARRAY OF NOMINATING
FACTS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Came Before Body Was Thrown
Down Elevator Shaft--1iood- Stained
Clothing Of Roy Emerson Strongest
Link in Chain Of Evidence.

Crestcn. May 9.-The crime with
which Roy Emerson is charged is the
most horrible ever committed in Union
county and the entire community is
filled with horror. IL seems Impossible
that any man could have committed
the foul and dastardly crime of having
killed his own mother blu. the circum-
stances point 80 strongly to the man $
guilt in this instance Chat it can be
truthfully said that great majority of
our people nave little doubt of his
guilt.
The arrest followed testimony and
circumstancial evidence which has
been presented to the coroners jury
IN connection with the cause of death
TO his mother, Mrs. Kate Emerson,
whose dead body was found at the foot
of the elevator shaft in the Emerson
Coakley building near o'clock on

Signs of a scuffle in the room, on

TREASURY HAS MORE MONEY ON
HAND THAN ON ANY PRE-.
viouS SETTLEMENT DAY.
NEARLY FIVE MILLIONS
IN BANKS ON JUNE 8
Surplus Due Largely to Fact That
Funds Appropriated by Legislatures
Building Plans Were Held Up by
.ctal to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moincs, May 9-When the state
books were balanced on May 3 the
state treasury had more money on
hands than ever before IN the history
OF the state, totaling in all S4.S2l,OO0.
On May /, 1918 the total amount on
hands was sl,75S,O00, and the year pre-
vious the balance amounted to S956,s4
The LIST day OF May finds all of the
state taxes which have been paid dur
ing the spring tax paying time on
hands and is usually flush time for
state money. During the summer
months when it is all out go and no
come in the funds dwindle until they
are less than nothing and the common
practice has been TO borrow money
and pay interest or not to cash the
warrants which bear interest at the
rate of five per cent. But this year the
state will have interest coming in in
stead OF going out as all state funds on
deposit draw interest at the rate or
two per cent.
y
now results from the fact that num-
Der of the appropriations authorized
by the Thirty sixth general assembly
and a still larger number authorized
by the Thirty-seventh have not been
drawn, These excess funds We're
largely appropriated for buildings or
improvements at the state educational
institutions or board of control in
stitutions but war prices on building
materials made it impossible for the
state boards to do any building so
these funds remain uneXpended.
Revenue as Interest
In fact these funds have accnmula
ted during the past year 10 the extent
that the interest which the state will
have drawn by July ! of his year for
the twelve months proceeding will
total s43, 600 And this at the very low
rate of per cent. For the year end
ing July /, 1918 the interest amounted
to $1o.313.
One fund appropriated by the
Thirty-seventh general assembly
which has to its credit over 100000,
represents what Is left of the million
dollar war fund. The new Temple of
Justice however provided for by the
legislature which just adjourned will
use this fund together with the capitol
extension fund to the amount of
81, 900, 900 the total cost of the new
structure.
