BIG ENTRY LIST IN LIVESTOCK CLASSES State and Burlington Ratlroad Finally Sign Contract for Right-of- Way Throngh Glenwood Asylam Gr (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Aug. 8.—(Special.)—There were not many interesting developments in the Finkelstein murder case today. After what they regarded as a hard struggle with the police the friends of Harry Levich, one of the accused. persons, secured his re- lease from jall this afternoon under an order from the distriot: court. Ball was fixed st $3,000. The police had been trying to keep both Levich aud Walker hid from thelr friends fn the hope they might secure from them something to Incriminate them in the murder. The friends of Levich were many and they became highly indignant at the actions of the police. They fnally forced the pollos. to produce the two men and arraign them. in justice court. The preliminary trial was fixed. for next week. But this 4id not satisty, them and today they carried it into distriet court before Judge McHenry and a long. controversy Tollowed over the right of the dlstrict judge to exercise juriadiction In & case before it has been passed om by a fustice of the peace. Judge McHenry decided he had au- thority. The attorneys agreed upon a ball of §3,600 for the two men and an order was made for this. Levieh |mm4maly so- curad bail. This morning the police arrested s col- ored woman named Nellfe Wells, supposed to have been intimate with Walker, and they are -undertaking to get some evidence from her as to the actions of Walker. She protests innocence. Levieh Talks for First Time. When Levich was released qn bail he for the first time talked for publication and sald: “I never had any hand in'the killing of Issac Finkelstein. The fact i he is the last man on this earth that would prompt me to commit so foul a crime. Isaac Finkelstein was my triend. The day before the murder I loaned him my horse and buggy to go across the river to see s party for whomi he went bond. " I-did it because he was my friend. We Hebrews may have differences, but they. are soon settled and there is an end to it.” When asked if he had had the conver- eation with Chief Brackett accredited to him, in which he is sald to ha: o Finkelsteln for something the latter is osed to have done, Levich sald: remember very wéll the conversation. I told the chiet one i that T would get ‘was recovered and Chidester identified as the person who disposed of it. He claimed Afterward that he intended to leave the coat there for a fow monthe and then return it, and did not Intend to 1it. Of this could produce no evidence. Ho w sent to jall at Bloomfield to await the mc- tion of the grand jury. Last night he took poison and ended his existence. The evi- dence agalnst him was regarded as com- clusive.

A dead body at Still college is causing some trouble. The body was received some time ago for the use of the dissecting room of the college from an undertaker named Patty at Carroll. The body was held the re- quired time before dissection was to com- mence and in the meantime 1t appears that the name of the person was made known and friends in Chicago got onm trail of it. They arrived today and made a demand on Btill College of Osteopathy for the body. This was refused until yment of a small of §110 was made by the friends of the dead man. They refused to pay, but ex- pressed a willingness to pay reasonable ex- pense charges and return what the college bad paid out on the case. At a late hour today the matter was mnot yet settled.

Of course we Hebrews have our differehces just like any other people, but we are claser than other peo- ple. If I bad had murder in my heart I never would have loaped Fink my buggy on that day.. We ‘were friends then and that was the day before the murder and veral days after the conmversation I had The detectives are firmly convinced they are on the right track despite the protesta- tions ‘of innocence by Levich. They say that in the sweating processes the two men fall to tell straight stories; that their stories were disconnected and of a charae- ter that created suspicion. This taken in connection with the threats that Levich is sald to have made concerning Finkel- steln they say. is conclusive reason why they should hold them without bail. Many Entriea Show. Secretary Bimpson of the state fair has been notified by the superintendent of the swine department that the latter has ap- plications for ninety. more pens for hogs &t the state fair than the soclety has pro- vided at the grounde.
