, e FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1927 WOMAN’S:BODY 18 HED > ENY INSIN (Continued geoin ‘pare on bigamous wife, Mrs. Mattie. ates Seid he will tod y view part of a 's‘torso and abdomen wrapped i a .satk which was last night dug from,a shallow grave in the woods. A coroner's inquest was schedeled for today. An) early morning search will be made in the woods for other parts of the woman's body, especially the es d, which it is hoped ma: corpus delecti and materially Mad plans to file murder charges against Coffey. ' Head Needed for Identifteation If the head is found, officials be- lieve identification will be possible. In his confession, the slayer main- tained he struck his wife accidental- ly with a baseball bat during a quar- rel, He said he then cut up the body and burried it in a woods. It was nearly twilight last night when one ofa group of curious peo- ple, which gathered there after read- ing Cdffey’s confession, stumbled over a mound of, soft. dirt under which the torso was found. Frank Olson, a farmer, kicked aside the snow and anda few minutes later the sack was found two or three inches beneath the surface, . Acting Coroner J. A. Lewis and Dr. Carl An- drews conducted a preliminary ex- amination. Other’ Parts Missing Tt was evident the woman's body had been setvered across just below the arm pits and again just below the hips. The torso had been cut un- evenly in half, The discovered sec- tion was the right side of the torse and abdomen. But being the larger half, it also contained the heart, the liver and “sex organs. The woods in which the body was found is known in this neighborhood doth as Riters woods and Pennypack- er Ridge. It is one of the densest pieces of forest in southwestern Wis- consin. “Travels By Motor Wandcuffed to a deputy sheriff, Coffey arrived here early today in a motor caravan which fought its way over roads filled with snow as the result of a blizzard which raged last night throughout southwestern Wis- consin. He was accompanied by Dis- trict Attorney R. M. Orchard of Grant county, scene of the killing and bur- ial, and Sheriff Lyall Wright of Jun- eau county, who obtained the confes- sion from the prisoner. Coffey had just finished dinner at Madison, where the motor caravan stopped on-its joufney to Platteville, when he was informed of the finding of the torso. “It is probably part of her body,” he said, “I am relieved. At last there is evidence that I am telling the truth, I will be glad to tell authori- ties where the remainder of the body is buried.” ~ Coffey, as he rode along the coun- try roads, appeared to be happy and engaged his guards in. conversation. san, said the bill is a,step inthe right’ direction and supported it. { J.H. Burkhart, Ward county, Non-| partisan floor leader, said he believes it unwise to change the banking law in view of the unsettied financial; condition and, other Nonpartisans jn- sisted that political subdivisions would be content to put their money in the Bank of North Dakota. Speaker Carr was forced to rule that discussions extolling the strength of the Bank of North Dakota Were out of order. H, F, Swett, Kidder county, averred the bill is an attempt to “bolster up ‘weak and shaky banks in the western part of the state.” H. B, 66, extending the time in Which bounties may be offered by counties for gophers, rabbits and crows, was sent back to’ committee which is considering another bill with a similar purpose. One bill relates to counties and the other to townships. | It is plaaned to combine them and a whole néw bill probably will be of- fered. A motion’ by Representative Sperry} to put over until Saturday consider- ation of his bill to permit cities and villages to. designate their own offi- cial newspaper lost when a tie vote was recorded. The bill received 58 affitmative votes to 51 against but failed to carry ‘because two-thirds majority is required. An attempt to carry the clincher motion failed, how- ever, and it is expected to come up again Saturday. A bill authorizing counties to de- termine how much insurance they shall carry on public buildings was amended in committee of the whole to include all political subdivisions. It had been restricted to counties by an amendment in the insurance commit- tee. The measure applies only to fire-proof buildings. U.S: AWAITS _ REACTION TO PEACE PLANS (Continued from page one) to the pronouncement of Secretary of State Kellogg, offering ; liberal terms as a basis for new treaties be- tween China and the United States, is relief over the implied assurance that America will not-follow Great Britain in her Chinese policy. It is taken to mean that the United States will not participate in what is re- garded by the Chinese as virtually military intervention. in Kuomintang (Cantonese) circles in Shanghai, The Chinese in general regard the statement of the American secretary of the state as at least a friendly gesture and reassurance that America’s liberal policy toward China remains unchanged. Some disappointment is expreised at the American secretary’s refusal to,abrogate old treaties until new ones are signed and ratified by the senate. The nationalists are arguing that the United States shexld show good faith by wiping the slate clean before opening conversations. NO MEMORANDUM RECEIVED FROM ADVANCING CANTONESE Shanghai, Jan. 2!

Would Like to Be Trusty “{ would like to establish myself as a trusty,” he said. “There I would be able to help convicts and also find time to finish my bgok, ‘Hard- serabble’"” =” Shortly before he left Mauston, Coffey was served with notice that “his wife at Madison had instituted suit for divorce, She charged deser- tion and non-support. Relatives of Mrs. Hales also have notified officials that they will start civil proceedings against him to re- cover property which Mrs. Hales was known to have possessed at the time she went through a marriage cere- mony with Coffey at Winona, pada Tast September. Coffey, officials expect, will alaar up many details of the killing when he is taken over the ground where he maintains he buried the body of the woman. He insists, however, that he killed her accidentally with a base- ball bat during an argument which took place in their camp on the Wis- consin side of the Mississippi river, east of Dubuque, Iowa, on October 9, and that he concealed her body in his automobile for a day before dismem- bering it with a butcher knife. HOUSE: PASSES .NINE BILLS AND ‘KILLS 2:OTHERS (Contineéd from page one.) ~ fact that the missing oy pages con- tained a roll call taken on the bill Wednesday. A special committee appointed to examine the audits of the state guar- anty fund, state highway department and other departments made a partial report in which they recommended that certain portions of the guaranty fund andit be printed in the house journal, “Reconsideration of the bill regard- ing the publications of insurance statements was brought abgut on mo- tion of Ben’ Fedje, Willigms county.

Foreign consuls announced, despite reports to the contrary, that they had received no memorandum from the advancthg Cantonese proposing that no British troops be landed in Shanghai, or that the northerners evacute the city and allow Can- tonese forces to protect the foreign element. Reports that such a memorandum had been made to af- ford protection. to foreigners with- out bringing about a landing of ,for- plgn troops, were circulated yester- jay. It is known, however, that there have been informal conversations between moderate Kuomintang lead- ers (Cantonese supporters) and lead- ing foreign consuls, protection of foreign lit ind the city in general, but nothing definite resulted. The Kuomintang leaders expressed absolute confidence that their armies would overrun the troops of Marshal Sun, who is taking a posi- tien: south of here. Measures for in- suring the safety of Shanghai’ for- eigners in case of emergency’ were continued in full swing. McADOO’S TALK ARGUMENT FOR ~~ PROHIBITION (Continued from. pase tinued, “to report’ the situation to congress and to request the .neces- sary appropriations and measures to enable him to enforce the constitu- tion and laws of ‘the United States in such nullification or recalcitrant states.” That such measures would not have to take the form of force, but_¢ould consist of a sufficiently organized federal police power, was his conten- tion. . Laws Apply to All Alike He lashed out at the movement to have states repeal their enforcement laws asa campaign to induce the people of the country to accomplish results, “by openly and frankly vio- lating and disregarding the highest law of the land “Constitutiona! government ‘is im- possible,” he said, “if we proceed on the principle that only those parts of the constitution are to be observed and enforced which- any given state or individual happens to-like or ap- prove. This is the slippery path which leads to anarchy. It is the negation of the principle of majority rule; it. sets up that very tyranny of the mi- This reaction is especially marked} P! dpovesnatiat sti of ‘Verona, N.'D., Says~ .' “Dakota Maid”’Flour: | CAN RE USED FOR ALL. BAKING PURPOSES. nority which the opponents of prohi, bition assail so loudly.” He declared the eighteenth amend- ment by its very wording leaves no choice for state legislatures or con-! gress in the matter of. providing en-| forcement laws. | “It is itself a positjve prohibition, | operating by its inherent force to prohibit absolutely the manufacture, sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within the United States.” He pointed out that the supreme court jas upheld the Volstead provi- sion of ‘oe half of one per cent, and that if there should be a sub- stitute for the Volatead Jaw, with a provision for higher oholic con-| tent, it necessarily would be © un- constitutional. “Under the constitution as it now | stands, there is no possibility of en- ting valid regulatory legislation which will permit the traffic of 1i uor containing a percentage of al- cohol high enough to be intoxicating. “I believe that if an attempt were made to repeal the Volstead act, and to ‘substitute therefor. an unconstitu- tional statute, or no statute at ‘all, the supreme court would be consti- tutionally bound to hold that the attempted repeal was void and of no effect and that the Volstend act. would still remain the law of the land until there was substituted for it some other statute equally consistent with the eighteenth amendment and which could be held to provide the esserftials of effective enforcement. + Only Two Questions “There. are only two questions which properly can be considered hy the American ‘people at the present time consistently with the principles of their established institutions; and those are first, whether they desire to repeal or- modify the eighteenth amendment by the means provided in the constitution; and second, unless and until such repeal or modification is effected, what duties. and obliga- tions, under: the eighteenth amend- ment, rest. upon the different depart- ments of the federal and state gov. ernments, what action by those gov- ernments is lawful under the amend- ment, and what would be unlawful and unconstitutional.” There are two. outstanding symp- toms of lawlessness and disorder in the country, he said. He listed one as lhe campaign against the eighteenth amendment and the other as the prevalence of crime. The most disquieting feature of the ition question, he declared, “is the failure on the part of public of- ficials to realize or live up to their! constitutioffal obligations under the} eighteenth amendment.” He asserted crime was increasing with “alarming rapidity” long before the days of prohibition, “Beginning with 1913,” he con- retool we know that there were 8,902 homicides reported to the police. In 1925, there were 7,778 hémicides, a large decrease in view of the crease opulation, The figu should indicate that the evil is one of long standing and that there s been no such surprising _ incre since the adoption of prohibition as to form any basis for regarding pro- hibition as the cause or even one of the causes of the general prevalence “The reason must be sought else- where, and perhaps the crime w: itself is due to the same causes whic led to the present fanatical opposi- widespread violation of the prohibi- tion laws. lately prohibited, the liquor traffic is the very heart and center of the spider's web of corruption, dishonesty and dereliction of public duties, which has for so long undermined the: ef. fectiveness of popular institution throughout a large part of the na- tion.” Younger Children to Have Story Hour Saturday Morning There will be a story hour for the children of the first three grades in the children’s room of the Public Library Saturday morning at 10:30.
