Counterfeiters Are
Captured After They
Work for Two Years

Chicago, Dec. IA gang of coun-
terfeiters, said to have netted thor-
sands during the last two years, has
been broken up and three of the men
have been arrested, government off
Gals announced today. The arrests
were made last Saturday by Capt.
Thomas l. Porter, head of the secret
service, but kept under cover pending
a hunt for other members of the
band.
The men in custody gave their
names as Jake Kelly, alias James
Sullivan; Jack Monkler and E. G.
Carlson. Kelly is said to be the
ring leader.
Search of the mems rooms revealed
an outfit for changing 81 notes to
$40. More than SO of these notes
have been detected by secret agents
in the last month. A pocketful of
numbers torn from $40 bills was
found on one of the men.
An attempt to gain a recruit re-
suited in the gangs downfall. Last
Saturday morning a stranger came
to the federal building with a story
about man trying to induce him to
pass bogus money. He said the man
would be at Wilkens wine rooms
that afternoon. The three men were
captured there.

Woman Appears
Against First
Mate in Court
Testifies at Trial Of Former
Husband Charged With Muir.
der of Man She Married
After Their Divorce.

Mrs. Ruth Mikese1l took the stand
yesterday in district court at Coun-
Gil Bluffs and testified against her
former husband, James Harbour
who is on trial for the murder OF
George Mikesell, the man she mar
ried after her divorce from Har-
bour last January.
Mikesell was killed near Treynor,
June 2, following a quarrel over
pasture rent for a mare they had left
at the farm of August Sierck, where
Harbour was employed. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sierck and Harbour were
Jointly indicated for the murder OF
Mikesell.
The widow testified that, her
former husband was armed with a
rifle, that Mrs. Sierck had a revolver
and that Sierck had another rifle
when the shooting occurred. All
shot at her husband, who was un-
armed, she told the jury,
The defense alleges that bullet
from large caliber revolver iii
Mrs. Mikeselrs hand caused the
death of her husband, and not the
smaller cal:ber guns used by the
Siercks and Harbour. They also
plead self-defense and claim that
Mikesell himself fired the first shot
in the battle: 8,

Letter of Dead
Girl introduced
In Murder Trial
Judge Overrules Objection to
Excluding Missive-Travel.
er's Check in Payment for
Alleged Operation Shown.

Following two hours and half of
legal arguments in district court
yesterday afternoon as to the ad.
missibility as evidence of letter
written by Ruth Aver from Oma-
ha, August 3, to her lover, Francis
w. Alexander at Hayes Center,
Neb., in which she declared her
plans relative to placing herself un-
der the care of DR.. Fields, Judge A.
c. Troup allowed the letter to be
admitted in its entirety. This let
ter had been offered as evidence at
the morning session when attorneys
for DR.. L. S. Fields, tried on the
charge of murder by performing an
illegal operation, objected and held
out tor an argument on this point of
law.
This letter is the best of evi-
dence," Judge Troup said. 1t shows
plainly that it was the last act of
Ruth Aver after she had decided
to place her body in the care of this
defendant. The words she under
scored in the letter: "If you don't
hear from me, find me-" are proof
of the mental strain she was under
after she had made her decision.
Fields became co-conspirator to
the cause when he made his agree
ments with her."
Z Admits Receiving Letter.
Following the arguments and the
admission of the letter, Alexander
was ealled to the stand and admitted
having received the letter from
Ruth. He admitted also that he
had answered it and had sent her

British at Cable Case
Hearing Return Home

Washington, Dec. l4.-The Brit
ish delegates to the international
communications conference have
left for home. Their departure is
expected to result in an indefinite
recess by the delegates representing
the United States, Japan, France and
Italy.
The British delegates left late last
night after the close of the plenary
session. The reason assigned by
them for their departure was under
stood to have been desire to return
home to spend the Christmas holi-
day, together with the expression of
the conviction that settlement of
the difficulties which have arisen
over the disposition of the former
German cables was impossible. with
out the return of the delegates of
France and Japan to Paris and
Toxic, respectively, to consult per-
sonally with their foreign offices.

Queen Alexandra Has
Retired From Court
Society Definitely
By FORBES w. FAIRBAIRN


London, Dec. 14.-England's S
queen mother, Alexandra, most
popular of all Europe's queens, has
definitely retired. from court society.
Increasing deafness, which has be-
come more and more pronounced
during the present year, has made it
impossible for her to hear any one
now except members of her imme-
diate family and old friends. Her
10th birthday, celebrated December
|, found her in good health, but lead
ing very quiet life at her town
palace, Marlborough house, and
Sandringham, her favorite country
estate.
Since her illness a few months
ago, Queen Alexander has rarely
been seen at any of the court func-
tions. She rises late in the day and
is seldom seen before | O'Clock in
the afternoon. After lunch she
usually drives in good weather, re-
turning to tea at 6 o'clock. She
dimes as late as 9, and hardly
ever goes to bed before ! or 2
o'clock in the morning. Her favor
ite card game now is patience.
She still keeps up her interest in
charities and is the most generous of
givers-a1though the cost of the up
keep of Marlborough house and
Sandringham has enormously in
creased. While her income has re-
manned stationary it has made no
difference to the extent of her Civ
ing and her name generally heads
the list Of social charities.

No Reprieve in
Sight for Men
Sentenced to Die
Cole and Grammar, Found
Guilty of Woman's Murder,
Face Death by Electric
Chair in Two Days.

Lincoln, Dec. 14.-(Special Tele-
gram. with only two days inter-
vening uni; the day set for the cleo
trocution of Alison Cole and Allen
Grammar, nothing has yet been
done by the governor in the way
of a respite for the men. The case
stands in about the way it has stood
since the hearing in Howard county
Saturday, and with the exception OF
an application for a new hearing. no
one appears to know very much
about the case. !
1t is understood, however, that
the matter may be put up to Judge
Woodrough again by J. M. Priest,
attorney for Cole, in an effort to
get an order holding off the exeeu-
ton, providing the governor does
not act. Priest claims that Judge
Paine of the Howard county dis
trict court has not yet carried out
the former order of Judge Wood
rough for new trial. He says that
last Saturday Judge Paine denied
him new trial of the case and that
until such trial is had, no execution
can be made.
Attorney Moves for New Trial.
Grand Island, Neb., Dec. 14.-An-
son B. Cole, condemned with Vim
cent Grammer to die in the electric
chair at the penitcntiary on Friday,
is still a prisoner in the Howard
county Jail at St. Paul.
Attorney Priest of Lincoln, for
Cole, has filed a motion for a new
trial on the ground that the district
court, in correcting the record as per
the order of the federal court in only
a nunc pro tune entry without re-
sentencing, failed to comply with the
order of the federal Judge, and that
Cole is no longer under sentence,
having been discharged therefrom by
order of Federal Judge Woodrough.
At noon today Judge Paine had
been advised of the filing of the mo-
,tion at St. Paul this morning, but had
not set-a time for hearing the mo-
ton. 1t was indicated that this
might be done late today.
