Washington, Feb. 16.—While no order for military arrest had been issued this morning, the status of Major-General Fred C. Ainsworth, adjutant-general of the army, reliev- ed from duty yesterday by order of the president, was that of an officer under suspension, under orders to remain here, pending the adoption of disciplinary measures by the War Department. This is taken to mean that he is to be court-martialed on a military charge, which, translated into plui'n English, is to the effect that he is alleged to be guilty of dis- respect to General Wood and to Sec- retary of War Stimson.

(By Associated Press,) New York, Feb. 16.—Practically no clues are in the hands of the po- lice by which to locate the three au- tomobile bandits, who yesterday at- tacked two bank messengers and stole $25,000 in cash. Scores of de- tectives are working on the case, which they think was committed by the same gang that held up a clerk on the Bowery Saturday, robbed him of $1,000, and fled in a black auto- mobile. The two messengers who were overpowered, and from whom the money was taken, were considerably beaten up but not badly injured.

GILL STILL IN PRECARIOUS CONDITION Mrs. Gill is said to be resting as well as could be expected today, her condition remaining about the same. Subscriptions for her relief are still being received, and this money is being placed in the bank by the As- sociated Charities, and an account- ing will be made of its expenditure later. Those who have gone to see Mrs. Gill slyn that her condition is in- describable, and that it is little short of miraculous that she still lives. The physician, Dr. Love, states that he thinks she has a fair chance to recover unless complications set in. It is said that her hands are so ter- ribly burned that if she recovers it is probable that she will have no use of them, which would certainly be terrible misfortune, were insane. The men were Frank Shiblawski, Ewald Shiblawski, Phil- ip Sommerling, and Tromb Schultz, slayers of Fred Guelzow, a truck farmer, whom they robbed. Imme- diately after the first two were exe- cuted, a bailiff from Judge McKinley rushed into the room and summone! Jailer Davis to court. The command was not obeyed, but instead a deputy phoned the judge that two men had been hanged and that the others would follow, unless a formal stay were presented. No writ was issued, 80 the others were also put to death. The priest who had talked with the nien asserted they were insane and appealed to the court. The state contended that such action was sim- ply to interrupt the proceedings, and the hangings proceeded, ) Thomas Jennings, a negro, who killed a rallroad clerk whose hous: he was trying to rob, was later hang- ed, making the fifth execution of the day. Jennings' lawyers appealed in vain to the federal court this morn- ing that finger-print evidence should not have been introduced against him, Chicago, Feb. 16.—Ewald Shib- lawski, one of the men condemned to die today for the murder of Fred Guelzow, wrote the widow of his vic- tim asking her forgiveness. He said he had a fair trial, and confessed his guilt, LOCATED SUPPOSED BIIBGLAR IN THIS CITY The Winter Garden Department of the Orlando Citizen has the follow- ing . Sheriff Kirkwood has succeeded in locating and imprisoning the burg- lar or burglars who, about a month ago, tried, unsuccessfully, to rob A. 3. Newton's merchandise establish- ment, and did get several articles, such as ties, knives, etc,, from G. J Strozier's grocery store. As it hap- pened, the knives were of the alliga- tor brand, Mr. Strozier being the only one handling this brand in Winter Garden, and the ties bearing his name. Sheriff Kirkwood did the wisest thing in instructing the of- ficials throughout this section to ad- vise him if anyone attempting to dis- pose of this brand of goods came to their notice, and his wise efforts wer: rewarded by receiving notice to th~ effect that such were located in Lake- land. He immediately went to Lake- land, and arrested one Will Butler and wife, colored, against whom cir- cumstantial evidence is very stronz. CLAIMED HE KILLED GOEBEL.
