STATE ARRESTS
CARL D|GRE
WEALTHY FARMER NEAR SHER-
MAN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY
IN NOTED MATHESON
CASE.

Sioux Falls, Oct. 7.-Another
startling chapter in a case replete
with thrills and developments, came
late yesterday with the arrest of Carl
Digre, wealthy farmer, residing near
Sherman, on the charge of murder
ing Martin Matheson at the Digre
home last July. This is the third ar
rest in the case which has proved a
puzzle to all who have followed it's
devious angles since the story of how
the woman fed her husband poisoned
peaches for love of another man,
was made public.
Yesterday States Attorney Wag-
goner signed complaint for the ar
rest of Digre and Sheriff Wangsness
at once took the warrant to the Di-
gre home, returning with his prison
er shortly after / o'clock. Digre will
be arraigned some time this week, il
is expected.
In her confession made public sew
eral weeks ago, Mrs. Matheson who
is still confined to her bed in the
county jail. maintained that John
Digre, previously arrested, and
brother of Carl, was the one who
gested the poisoning to her. She la
ter related an alleged story Of the
infatuation of John Digre for her,
lasting over several years. John Di-
gre is now out under. heavy bail.
Arrest of Carl Digre comes as no
surprise to the residents of Sherman
who have been predicting it for
some time MIRA Matheson has stead
lily denied that Carl had the slightest
knowledge. of her crime but evidence
said to be in the hands of the state,
indicates that this portion of her con-
fession was patched up to protect
Carl Both men are her cousins and
the Matheson family had been max
ing their home in the Carl Digre
home. until her arrest late in August.

term of circuit court, as time must be
allowed the defense to prepare trial.

torney general at Pierre, who will

from the hands of the circuit court.
A complaint has been filed by
State Sheriff j. c. Shanks against

that will permit him to remove An
derson from office at the conclusion
of the hearing.
1t is said that this action will no
doubt be taken at once.

HARDING ON
AIDING WESTWARD
IN RESTATING HIS PO-
SITION MAY MAKE SOME RE-
PLY T OWILsON LETTER.

Marion, O.. Oct. Senator Hard
ing put in strenuous twelve hours
today comforting with party leaders,
preparing addresses and clearing
away details of headquarters busi-
ness preparatory to his departure to-
morrow on his western campaign
swing. The trip, which will take
him to Des Moines, Ia, Omaha, Neb.,
Kansas City, Mo-, and Oklahoma
City, Okla, will be followed by two
others into the eastern and political
border states, so that the nominee

Hays, republican national chairman,
and Harry M. Dougherty, member of

the situation, reiterating their pre-
vious predictions that one of the
largest majorities in the nations his
tory would be recorded for the re-
publican ticket Mr.. Hays declared
the democrats were preparing to con-
centrate on the league issue because
they had failed to make headway on
any other. and that. President Wilson
had assumed active leadership Of his
party for the final month Of the cam
paign.
The chairman asserted the will
lingness of the republican organiza-
tion to face that situation, and Sen
ator Harding revealed that in his
speech at Des Moines on Thursday he
intended to deal further with the
league issue. 1t was indicated that
he might, in restating his position,
make reply to some of the arguments
used by Mr.. Wilson in the letter
made public Sunday.
1t also was made known that Her
bert Hoover's active work for the
republican ticket would begin next
Saturday night with an address at In
dianapolis. On October IA he will
speak at Topeka, Kan. Mr.. Hoover
is counted on by his party managers
to support, without qualification,
Senator Harding's position on the
league issue.
Senator Harding will arrive al
Chicago at $40 p. m. tomorrow and
will leave for the west at 10 p. m
The Des Moines meeting will be at
1O:30 Thursday morning, and on

SPENCER GIVES
PROOF CHARGE
SENATOR PRODUCES COPY TO
PROVE THAT WILSON SAID
AMERICAN TROOPS WOULD
BE SENT.

st. Louis, Oct. limited States
Senator Selden p. Spencer late yes
terday replied to President Wilson's
denial that he had promised Ameri-
can military assistance to Rumania
and Serbia in event of invasion of
those countries. The president s
denial was provoked by recent ad-
dress of Mr. Spencer in which the
senator, in effect declared the presi-
dent had made such promise. The
senator's reply in part follows:
81 beg to acknowledge receipt of
your telegram of October in which
you deny that you promised Ameri-
can military aid to Rumanians and
Serbs and the previous denial which
Mr.. p. Tumulty has made at your
request. The statement of yours to
which / have often referred to in my
addresses was the statement in the
stenographic notes of the eighth
plenary session of the peace confer
ence in which you are reported to
have said to Premier Bratianu OF
Rumania as follows:
"YOu must not forget that IT If
force that is the final guaranty of the
public peace. If the world is again
troubled the United States will send
to this side of the ocean their army
and their fleet"
THE statement was made upon
the floor of the senate on February
Q, 1920 by Senator Reed and so fal
as I have learned has never been de.
MED until now. It has been widely
circulated over the United States. II
you did not make that statement te
Premier Bratianu I should be much
indebted II you will be good enough
to inform me-"
