VICTIMSHISSTEPCHILDREN 8igned Confession of Accused Intro- duced as Evidence Against Him at His Trial, but He Asserts the State- ments Therein Made Were Wrung From Him by Threats of Lynching. Le Sueur Center, Minn.,, Oct. 31— Less than four hours after a jury re- turned a verdict of murder in the first degree Martin O'Malley, a prosperous farmer of Dereynane township, tried for the poisoning of his stepchildren, Frances Bergel, aged five years, and Mary Bergel, aged three years, was sentenced by Judge P. W. Morrison in the district court to be hanged. Counsel for O’Malley immediately asked for a transcript of the evidence and it is understood that an appeal for reduction of sentence to life imprison- ment will be made. O'Malley appeared unmoved when sentenced. His de- meanor throughout the trial has given the impression that he is not mentally sound. When taken to jail O’Malley remarked: “I did not do it, but I will tell who did.” Evidence, however, was strong against the prisoner and included a signed confession, which O’Malley, in testifying at his trial, contended was wrung from him by threats of lynch- ing. O’Malley will be confined in the county jail for ninety days, pending the fixing of the date of hanging by the governor. O'Malley was arrested on July 16, a month after his marriage to Mrs. Ber- gel, a widow of Montgomery, with three children, the oldest of whom was six years old. O’Malley was a widower with eight children. Soon afterward two of the Bergel children died and were buried. A Le Sueur Center doctor diagnosed their disease as spinal meningitis, but suspicion was aroused, the bodies exhumed and the stomachs sent to the state university for examination. The chemists’ re- port was that the children had been poisoned by arsenic which was found in their livers and stomachs.

TROOPS READY FOR THE WORD New Jersey Kilitia May Be Called Cut. TRAFFIC IS PARALYZED Trains Carrying Undelivered Packages Block the Sidings in Jersey City and Hoboken—Police Having a Stren- uous Time Preventing Clashes Be- tween the Strikers and Strike- breakers. Camden, N. J., Oct. 31.—The entire Fourth regiment of the New Jersey national guard is assembled in the va- rious company armories and will be held under arms pending develop- ments in the express wagon drivers’ strikes in Jersey City and Hoboken. New York, Oct. 31.—The business of the United States, Adams and Wells-Fargo Express companies is practically at a standstill. Terminals in New York, Jersey City and Hoboken are stacked with undelivered pack- ages. Long trans of cars jam the sidings leading into the depots filled with goods, much of it perishable, waiting to be unloaded. Strikers and strike- breakers are fighting in the vicinity of every terminal and the police of the three cities, armed with riot sticks, are at their wits’ end to maintain peace. Up to the present time, how- ever, no.one has been greatly hurt. The strike, which originated when the officials of the United States Ex- press company refused to pay the wa- gon helpers $5 a month more, has spread now until every express com- pany in this vicinity is affected.

PALMER Your Hardware Man RATES MAY G0 HIGHER LATER Admission Made at Present Hearing in Chicago. EXCUSES ARE OFFERED Railroads Claim They Are Justified In Their Demands Because of the Gen- eral Increase of Commodities Han- dled and the Insistence by Unions for Higher Wages and Shorter Hours. = Chicago, Oct. 31.—That the pro- posed advances in railroad rates which forty-seven roads of the Chi- cago district are seeking authority to make here before the interstate com- merce commission might not be the only “boost” in the near future was admitted at the rate hearing. C. G. Burnham, vice president of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, had been testifying that the railroads vanted an increase in rates on the general proposition that they were justified in the demand because of the general increase in the price of .com- modities handled. He said, however, that the insistence of unions for high- er wages and shorter hours had forced the hand of the roads &nd compelled the move at this time. Commissioner Lane asked Burnham it it were not true that at the White House conference of railroad presi- dents it was admitted that the pres- ent increase in rates, if allowed, would be only the first and that still higher rates might be asked by the carriers. Attorney Dawes, for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Interposed: “We can’t tell what we will do if prices keep going up,” he sald. “You may draw your own inferences as to the necessary course of the railroads.” SAYS HE IS NOT THE ISSUE Roosevelt Refers to “This King Busi- ness” in Speech. Lyons, N. Y, Oct. 31.—In a speech here Colonel Roosevelt referred to what Job Hedges of New York calls “this king business” in his campaign speeches. He said that he was not the issue; that it was Mr. Stimson, and not he, who was running for of- fice. “I'm not running for anything,” he continued. “After election day I'll go home to Oyster Bay and I'm going to stay there. I won’t menace anybody who doesn’t menace me.” Saying that Mr. Murphy nominated Mr. Dix, he added that no one could control Mr. Stimson. “I couldn’t control him if I wanted to,” he said. “It is nonsense to say so. But the campaign of our opponents is made up largely .of nonsense. It is like the nonsense of saying that I want to be king.” In speaking at. convention hall at Rochester Colonel Roosevelt denied that Rooseveltism was a menace to business. “Any man who, says that I attack honest business,” he said, “might as well say that I attack Abraham Lin- coln when I attack dishonest politi- clans.” ; DULUTH CRIPPLE BURNED Bed Against Door Forms Death Trap When Fire Occurs. Duluth, Oct. 31.—W. B. Wood, a crip- ple with both legs off at the knees, was burned to death in a fire which broke out in a house where he roomed. The blaze is thought to-have been started by a pipe which he was smok- ing. ‘Wood set his own death trap. When he got into his room he pushed the head of the bed in front of the door to prevent any one robbing him or dis- turbing him in the night. The body was found against the door with the hand vainly striving to reach the doorknob. Suffocated by the dense smoke he had fallen back unconscious and was enveloped by the flames. CHARGE HAS BEEN DISMISSED Wife of French Author Not Guilty of Attempt to Poison. Parls, Oct. 31.—After an inyestiga tion extending over three months the judge of Paimboeuf dismissed the case against Mme. Plerre Berton, wife of the author of “Zaza,” who was ac cused by her daughter-in-law of at- tempting to poison her. Mme. Claude® Berton, the daughter-in-law, finally withdrew her charge when it was shown that the whole story .was di- rectly attributable to the gossip of s;rlvants at the elder Berton's seaside villa. Clyde Fitch’s Joke. - “Clyde Fitch was an indefatigable worker,” said ‘an actor who has played in many of the Fitch comedies. *When he had a play on the stocks he would labor over it day and night, often scarcely pausing for his meals' and getting very little sleep; consequent- ly his health suffered. He would work until on the verge of a nervous break- down. and then his physician would step In and force him to knock off. “During one of these periods of en- forced idleness he ‘was lounging in the Players club one day when Harry B. Smith, the prolific comic opera libret- tist, strolled in, “‘What are you doing now? asked Smith. “‘] am in my doctor’s hands,’ replied Fitch.. ‘He tells me I'm in a bad way and has absolutely forbidden me to do any brain work. i “*“That’s tough,’ sald Smith. ‘How do you munage to put in the time? ' “Oh, I'm writing/the libretto .of a musical comedy! replied Fitch, ‘with one of his cyulcal smlle&"—New York Times. e Strongly Endorsed ...and...
