Struggle With Companion
of Wife, Prosecutor De-

Beaver. City, Neb.. Nov. 29.-Coun-
ty Attorney r. NJ. Hemphill of Norton.
Kan, advanced the theory in present
ing his case against Woody L. Turner
and Mrs Myrtle Newkirk. OF Leopora
Kan. both of whom were held TO dis.
trict court yesterday at Norton in con-
nection with the death of Mrs. New.
kinks husband. John. that Turner
shot Newkirk when the latter attacked
Turner because of his alleged relations
with Mrs. Newkirk.
Newkirk's skeleton was found In Ne
braska near Beaver City, short dis
lance from the Kansas border line.
some time ago following his disappear
ance from his home in Leonora. His
son, John Newkirk. jr.. testified his
father had slept in a garage for many
months previous TO his disappearance
and that his father and mother had
quarreled, but that he did not know
the reason for their difficulties.
County Attorney Hemphill's theory,
he told the court, was that Newkirk' 8
body was secreted in a deserted lum-
ber yard until the night following the
alleged crime when Turner and Mrs.
Newkirk went to the garage where
Newkirk formerly slept, gathered up
an old rug and some other wearing
materials and wrapped the body In
them.
Both Mrs. Newkirk and Turner were
committed TO Jail In default OF bond.

Cass County Sheriff, Attor-

Trouble Over Liquor Case

Plattsmouth, Neb., Nov. 29.-The

sion here for two weeks. has re-
turned indictments against County
Attorney A. G. Cole, charging him
with malfeasance in office; against
Sheriff C. d. Quniton, under the same
charge, and on an additional count
charging perjury.
Another indictment charges Fred
A. Holmes, former state officer, with
impersonating an officer, namely a
deputy state sheriff.
1t is alleged in the indictments
that Attorney Cole failed to prosecute
John Lenz, who was arrested on a
liquor charge. and that the county
officer retained the Is gallons of
wine taken when Lenz was arrested,
after the man had been released from
the charge.
When District Judge Begley called
the grand jury recently, he disquali-
fled Cole from prosecuting before 1t
and appointed D. o. Dyer, special
prosecutor.
1t was said today that the three
indicted would be arraigned Saturday.
Other indictments were returned by
the grand jury but since the defend
ants were not in custody today their
names and what they were charged
with were not made public.

GsssaSsn = Spy Pardoned,
Pc Naval Captain
y eek Job and Family
Returns to Fatherland

New York, Nov. 29.-Pardoned by
President Coolidge and freed from a
life sentence at Leavenworth. Lothar
Witzke, the only German spy con-
victed in the United States during
the world war, was deported today
on the Hamburg Am srican liner Al
bert Ballin.
Five years of prison life appeared
to have left no trace on the counten-
ance of the former spy. for he was
robust and ruddy and looked %
rather than 80 years old.
I'm glad to be going home TO
my family-or what is left Of 1t,
he said. I'll have to find job
first thing. The only trade I have
is that Of engineer. which | learned
at Leavenworth." He was a naval
captain before he came here for his
government at the outset OF the war.
After having been sentenced to
death--the war time penalty for
spies-Witzke obtained a communion
to life imprisonment. and then eight
days ago. the president pardoned him
on the condition that he leave the
country.
Just before the Ballin sailed Witzke
was transferred from third class-de-
portees' fare-to a second class cab
in, the German government having
forwarded the passage money.
Nineteen Russian and Turkish de-
portees and a half dozen returning
stowaways from a half dozen coun-
tries also sailed on the Ballin.

this is only possible by quibbling with
words, and always accept this position
when taken by a candidate as an ef-
fort to ride two horses going in op-
posite directions.
Speech Hurriedly Prepared.
The text of Johnson's speech, as
printed in the local Washington pa
pers, contained precautionary SEN
tence from him to the effect that II
must not be regarded as platform.
This is interpreted as meaning that
johnson is little less courageous
than he might be in laying down
his policies in his first keynote speech.
They think that Johnson wants to
wait until Coolidge makes his address
to congress next week, and keep him.
self in a position to take positions con-
that address which he might not 9th
erwise take. Coolidge's friends pre-
dict with great confidence that his
address to congress. unlike Johnson's
speech, will compose complete ex
position Of his attitude on public ques-
tions. Whatever the motive, or what
ever the conditions that led Johnson
to take this precaution, IL was an un-
fortunate thing for him to say. 1t
leads the critical to say instantly that
Johnson is going to try to get on
whatever side of every issue coming
up that will furnish the most votes.
As against this criticism, y it is pos
sible that Johnson's failure to be
complete in his speech was due to
his failure to be as forehanded in the
writing Of 1t as public men generally
are with speeches Of such importance.
Ordinarily such statements are writ
ten with great care and completed
sufficiently long in advance to send
out advance copies to the papers all
over the country. In this case john
son had not completed his speech
when he left Washington on Sunday
afternoon, and worked on 1t on the
train

Since in past years attorney gen.

ruled both ways IN school elections.
that ballots cast by people for school
bonds must be voted by taxpayers
ana owners OF property or parents OF
children OF school age, while In other
case other attorney general have
ruled that all voters were eligible to
vote on bond elections. the result at
the local election was that ateach poll

ers Of parents of children were de-
posted in one box grouped as class
A voters, and those cast by voters
who were neither taxpayers or par
ents OF children Of school age were
classed as class B and put In another
box. By doing this the school board
as well as the election boards can
prove the legality OF the election from
either angle since either class OF
