Wife May Be Called.
The wife of Lang had insisted very
strongly to representatives Of the
News on Tuesday that her husband
had Gust lied" and declared that on
the night Pacini was slain that he had
been at home with her and the chill
dren. She reiterated this statement
many times on Tuesday afternoon and
evening as friends came in to express
their sympathy.
It was declared that there was no
chance for Lang to be released on &C
count of the stories he had told about
burglaries. The police believe that
what ever may be discovered as to his
guilt or innocence of the murder of
Charles Pacini, that he can be held on
charges of burglary.
Denies Sale of Revolver.
The visit of Chief of Police O'Hare
and Lang to Chicago on Tuesday did
not bring any satisfactory results.
Lang took the chief to a pawn shop on
Halstead street where he declared that
he had purchased the revolver but he
did not find the man who had sold the
weapon and the men in the place de-
clared that they had never sold gun
to Lang. Later Lang took the chief to
another pawn shop where he declared
that he had disposed of the loot taken
from the Lockhart store. Tha denial
of purchase of the stuff came promptly
from the men in the store. Later Lang
pointed out to the chief and Chicago
detectives, Sam Meyer, a pawn shop
keeper and Meyer was arrested on a
charge Of receiving stolen goods and
held in Chicago. The hearing on. the
charge was adjourned for two weeks.
''He Is the Man." Says O'Hare.
"I still believe that Frank Lang is
the man who killed Charley Pacini,"

~ feel that the confession of this man
is true I was there when he made it
and there was no force used in my
presence to secure the confession and
no report was made to me that any
force was used on the fellow. I am not
interested in convicting him on any
other charge until it is shown conclu-
sively to me that he is not a murderer
as we'll as thief"
Robinson Says, Don't Hurry"
Henry B. Robinson, president Of the
fire and police commission, was seen
after Lang had made his statement to
Judge Belden. 81 am not in a hurry
to order an investigation of this
story" said President Robinson. "This
matter is in the circuit court and we
will let the court dispose Of it before
we take it up in the police and fire
commission meeting" President Rob-
inson indicated that he did not take
much stock in the story of Lang.
No Talk of Reward.
Chief O'Hare this morning refused
to discuss the question of the reward
for the arrest of the slayer of Pacini.
"That matter can all be taken care of
later on" he declared. "What we want
now is not rewards but the conviction
and sentence of the man who killed
Charley Pacini." No question in re-
gard to the reward has been consid-
cred by the police officers.

Among those who visited Lang at

DR.. Adams.
''Yarns?" questioned Lang. yarns!
They're not yarns, doctor, they are
all true"
DR.. Adams reminded him of the fact
that he had said nothing of them in
a recent visit to his Office for medical
care, and Lang admitted that he had
kept it all secret. When questioned
about the gun, he said that he had
fired it twice on Exchange street"

had been practicing, DR.. Adams
queried him again asking him to tell
where on Exchange street.

last who were admitted to see the
prisoner on Tuesday evening.

to Chicago today to investigate the
story that Lang told of selling the
