S B ST. LOUIS, Aug. 24.—FElder Aaren S. Hawkes, missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, was ar- rested at the Four Courts, accused of pushing Clarence Fuhrer, 5 vears old, to his death beneath a moving train at Mount_Vernon, Ind., at an early hour to- day. He was arrested as the Louisville and Nashville train steamed into the Union depot this morning. Elder Hawkins, who lives at Manassas, Conejos County, Colorado, was returning from seven months of proselyting in Georgia when he is said to have become the instrument of Baby Fuhrer's death. John M. Plerce of Mount Carvel, IlL, and Orvin B. Grays of Hvansville, Ind., assengers on the train, witnessed the njury to the child. Conductor F. M. Al- bin states that these passengers wer wlllln% to tesiify that Hawkins delibe ately hurled the baby from the moving train to the platform and that they saw the little fellow roll from the platform under the wheels, which passed over him. Hawkins will be held here subject to the | orders of the police officials of ' Mount | Vernon. Mrs, Amelia Fuhrer boarded Conductor Albin's train at Evansville, Ind., twenty miles from the scene of the tragedy. She had with her two small children, Clarence and a younger sister. She was on her way to Mount Vernon, Ind., to join her husband. At Mount Vernon she arose to leave the train, and here is where the Mormon came on the scene. He told his story as follows: “The woman was leaving the train. I stepped out on the platform while the train was ali‘htlivl in motion and lifted the child down to the platform. It was un- steady on its feet and rolled off the plat- form. I jumped on the sleeping-car as it swung past me on the end of the train. 1 did not push the child off.” The Chief of Police at Mount Vernon, Ind., telegraphed Chief of Police Campbell late to-day to take the statement of Elder Hawkins and release him, as the police have no evidence on which to hold him. He was accordingly released. MR. BRYAN HAS RETURNED TO NEBRASKA Makes a Speech Taunting Republi- cans on the Philippine Policy.
