there was no railroad to bring me. Lodg-

am an ordinary man, and if had had more
intelligence, could have been rich, with the
opportunities that Arkansas afforded and
still affords. We have always given to q
needy cause or an unfortunate neighbor but
have never knowingly given to a dead-beat.
| have never solicited for a cent or asked a
favor of any man. We do general farming
and sell cotton, corn, hay, pork, cream and
eggs.
About two weeks ago l carried some
eggs to Rogers restaurant at Gurdon, where
l have been selling them. Rogers had al
ways wanted my eggs for he knew they were
fresh. This day he told me that he could
not take my eggs any longer unless l would
promise to vote for the "full crew law" as
the railroad men had instructed him not to
buy my eggs if he wanted their patronage
that they wouldn't eat there any longer.
told Mr. Rogers that as an American
citizen had always voted as my conscience
dictated that if had been going to vote for
the "full crew laws" and had heard of such
tactics, would have voted against it. Sep
TENDER 5th l was in Gurdon with some eggs
to buy some needed supplies, which | took to
j. r. Capps. The clerk was counting them
when j. R. Capps took me to one side, and
with many apologies told me that if he
bought eggs from me, that none of the rail
road men of that place would trade with him.
l told Mr. Capps that my vote could not be
bought and neither could they intimidate me.
Now you know that all the little towns
that have electricity and Chamber of Com
merce send someone East to solicit eastern
capitalists to go to their town and invest in
them. Do you suppose they tell them they
will dictate, by law, just how many men they
will be required to employ? have been told
that the Devil could quote Scripture to suit
his own ends and have never been convinc-
ed of this until recently when some of the
literature of the advocates of the full crew
laws came into my hands. They quote, edo

poration, except a square deal.

New York, March Whenever
a purity wave" sweeps along Broad
way, it is invariably pointed out that
chief supporters of the naughty
shows" are visitors from the four cor
ners Of the nation.
A check-up Of ticket agency repre-
sentatives at big hotels proves, alas,
that this is not only true, but that
the average visitor will have none
but the ''vcry naughty"
Did he come all the way from SauX
Center just to see show such rs he

did not. What is more, he is wiling
to pay the high price rate for them.
Just for the fun Of it friend Of
mine stopped at the box office at
three outstanding naughty" plays
and asked for tickets ten days hence.
OF course he didn't get them. The
tickets were all blocked out to agcn-
cies for visitors"
About the only chance New
Yorker has of seeing one of the wide
ly discussed naughty" shows is to
go before the naughty" reputation
spreads beyond the city's gate, or to
wait until the rush Of visitors is over.

Of the visitors, but he hcsitates at

AS TO JOE BERGER BEING
REAL SLAYER OF TWO IS BROUGHT UP

Jamestown. N. D.. March 90 More
evidence to bear out the belief that
Joe Berger, the gorilla man near half
wit, who confessed to the crime and
is now serving life sentence in the
state prison. was not the actual
slayer of the two Missouri boys,
Winfrcd Stookcy and James Kcown.
whose bodies were found in a straw
pile just at the outskirts Of James
town two years ago last August, is
contained in a letter just received
by s. v. Anderson of the Sun from II
fellow investigator Of that crime in
the state of Kentucky.
1t will be remembered that after
the confession of Berger. won by
Chief of Police Martinson Of Bis
murder victims were identified and
claimed by their fathers in Missouri.
The fathers gave evidence that con-
flictcd with Bcrgcr's confession. ac-
cording to several who had followed
tho crime, and told of third member
Of the party who had come to North
Dakota with these boys in car.
Trace Of the third member Of
the party, one Jim Gates. was fin
ally found and he was located in
Kentucky and the fact learned that
he had taken car back there with
him. He was never, however, arrest
cd nor even questioned at that time
regarding the crime here as no au-
th0rity was given the Kentucky auth
critics in the matter, the confession
Of Berger cutting off the need for
costly investigation from Stutsman
county.
The letter received today is as
follows:
Dear Mr.. Anderson:
Jim Gates has turned up in
and am renewing my correspond
encc with you.
Gates is in the Graves county
Jail here and has been indicted for
grand larceny, store breaking and
cold checking. A local deputy sheriff
returned Gates To- to answer the
charges and found him in the State
Farm, Putnamvillc, Ind, serving out
100 days for cold checking in Evans
Vile. Ind. Gates times was out a
day before local officers got in touch
with him but he was held and re-
turned to this city.

where he visited honcfolk and
issued a cold check, finally skipping
out Of the country. He is regarded
as a bold character by local officers
and they arc trying to link him with
the murder of an old man. John
Schenkc. The old man was killed
October. 1924. about the time Gates
was visiting in the county and just
before officers began looking for him.

case was being investigated two years
ago. County Attorney Chase says
that he also has received letter

ney in the county whore Gates is

sending him full particulars.
While there is no pity felt by
anyone that Berger is in prison. since
he is recognized as a very dangerous
type of very low mentality. there
is a strong desire by many to have
the part of Gates in the matter clear
ed up.
