Pender Farmer
Found Guilty Of
Killing Employer

Murder Charge necom-
mended by Jury-State
Asks First Degree.

Pender, Neb., Oct. 26.-(Special)
William Maddox, charged with
murder in the first degree, was
found guilty of murder in the second
degree by jury in district court
The jury made the recommendation
that the defendant be dealt with
lcniently by the court in passing
sentence.
Maddox shot and killed John G.
Schnier, young farmer living near
Pender, for whom he had beer;
working, on June 20, 1921. An ar
gument over wages due precipitated
the shooting, but at the time of the
actual shooting, Schnier was rum
ming for cover through the grove.
Not since the days Of the Wilhelm
Elege murder case, which was tried
here about ten years ago, has such
deep interest been taken in a crirn-
inal case. The sympathy was will,
the accused to large extent. The
deceased was known as a rather
quarrelsome, overbearing man, and
was continuously having trouble
with his hired help.
Maddox had borne very good
reputation in the community and
was we'll liked by all who knew him.
Six or seven prominent farmers for
whom he had worked testified as to
his good character and reputation;
also to his poor health and periods
OF dependency and melancholy.
Sentence has been withheld by
Judge Graves until the motion fos
a new trial has been passed upon.

his rifle.
Two other clerks, Willard S. Flem-
ing and G. DTA"dham. also confronted
the bandit who imprisoned Need

Police and federal authorities inn
mediately took up the trail but have
only meager clews to guide them.

when the masked bandit entered. He
was ordered into the vault just as

istry room. Fleming held up his
hands at the bandits command, but
Adams began to unsling his rifle
when he was shot.

recently and pouch of registered
mail taken.

Their declaration came after a day

paper man, convicted a year ago OF
kidnapping his son, was pardoned
here today by acting Governor W.

in announcing the pardon.
Stagg took the boy east, later re-
stored him to his mother and then
returned to plead guilty. Betty
Brainerd, newspaper woman, was
arrested in the east in connection

Chief of Detectives Van Deusen re-
ceived a telegram from Detective
Walton of Kansas City which
read: #.....s.
Frank Pierce makes full confess
sion of Frank Fogg murder in
Omaha, implicatiug Finger Stevens.
Pick him up Immediately. Letter
and picture follow"
Frank Pierce, alias Bowman, was
arrested in Kansas City Tuesday
night for burglary and told the Mis-
souri, officials he was ! wanted in
Omaha for murder.
Van Deuscn summoned Dctec-
tiyes Franks, Aughe and Buford.
Get Stevens" he told them.
Go to Hospital.
At the Stevens home, the three
sleuths failed to locate anyone, but
neighbors told them Mrs. Stevens
had been taken to hospital because
of illness.
Franks went to the Nicholas Sem
hospital while Aughe and Buford be-
gan systematic search of dope dens
for Stevens, who police say is an
addict.
While at the hospital, Franks saw
a messenger boy enter Mrs. Stevens
room.
When the boy emerged, he ques-
toned him and learned he had taken
a message to the woman from her.

Where's the husband?" asked the
detective.
"At home" said the boy.
where does, he live?" returned
the sleuth.

II don't know, answered the mes
senger, but I'll take you to the place
where he gave me the message"
Franks went with the youth, who
led him to 5l6 North Nineteenth

Stevens protests his innocence and
denies any knowledge of the Fogg

Van Deusen stated yesterday
he has changed his mind about
Pierce, the man held in Kansas City,
and now believes he is the man for
whom police have been seeking
since the crime.
| At first Van Deusen suspected
Pierce of trying to hide behind the
Fogg crime to escape prosecution in
Missouri.
