Up in the weeds in Minnesota
when the spring sun melted the snow
they found the body of a man lying
under a heap of brush. Nobody was
able to identify him.
! Along in July, a plainclothes mar
of the Chicago police department was
strolling around on the West Side
among the saloons and haunts owe,
near Desplaines street police station
just casually strolling along. He
saw fellow walking down the
street who kept looking back at in
tervals. He followed him for a
couple of blocks and every once in
a while he'd look back. He followed
him into cheap lodging house and
put his hand on the fellows shoulder
as he sat there pretending to read n
newspaper.
Man Confesses
His Crime.
He said,n "They want you dow
here at the police station"
There he confessed that he'd com.
mitted the murder Of that man
away back in November and hid his
body up there. He said it was in
self-defense, but they convicted him
anyway. Ultimately something will
happen to bring men to justice.
In Iowa at the close of the war
a soldier got into fight with a man
and shot him. He fled and they
weren't able to locate him. Forty
years afterwards man in Missouri
made application to the United
States government for a pension, and
in the application he of course, had
to apply under the name by which
he enlisted and which was his right
name and in that way, my friends,
they got track of him.
The officials of Iowa went to Mis-.
souri,, and asked for extradition pa
pers They presented the matter and
it was granted They brought him
back to Iowa, and he was indicted
and 200 of the reputable citizens of
that community chartered special
trains and came back voluntarily as
character witnesses, for that man
was married and had grandchildren.
Then they said, HE is the most re-
spectacle citizen in the community"
They presented the evidence. He
was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary at Fort Madison, Ia,
and later Governor Cummings par
doned the man. After 40 years, his
application for his pension revealed
his whereabouts, and who he was,
and he supposed they'd all forgotten.
Find Mans Team
Standing Alone. /
In Illinois, in town where I
preached, farmer went to town and
drew several hundred dollars from
the bank. He drank liquor and just
horses and start for home. He was
never seen alive again.
In the morning they found the
team standing at the gate and they
found the lines wrapped around the
whip and the blanket was folded and
lying on the seat. There was no
evidence of struggle. They couldn't
find the missing man, .and finally
they arrested neighbor who had
had quarrel with him. The man
readily proved an alibi, but they
were sure that he was the man al
though they couldn't convict him.
wo years after that, he sold his
farm and moved away. Years and
years went by, and they had a long,
hot spell in Illinois and on this mans
farm was a pond fed by a spring,
and never known to go dry, and out
in the middle they found the skeleton
Of man with a log chain and on
that was the initial of the man who
had been arrested. So, therefore
they secured tho country, and found
him out in Pasadena, Cal, dying
from consumption. They got out ex-
tradition papers. They sent officers
He was too sick to move, but they
constantly watched him, and a few
hours before he died, he confessed
that he had committed the murder
and taken the mans body out to the
pond Something will happen that
will bring out the fact that they are
sinners.
