When the United States steel corporation was formed Uarnegle rewarded Peacock, Just as he lid his other “good boys;” Peacock found himself with a fortune of $16, ) 00,000, and he took Eames as his pri vate secretary. In his personal enterprises, Peacock seems to have discovered reason to suspect the honesty of Eames and some ithers of his employes. The story goes :hat he engaged detectives, who found me young man whom he had trusted mgaged In a game of draw poker with several young women of winning ways, rhe worst of it was that the employe iad staked each young woman to $25 to play against him; Mr. Peacock could not see any possible way for his em ploye to win. The detectives gained >ther Information, acting on It, Mr. Peacock, still according to the story’ fold and heard with much delight In fhe clubs here, called each suspected ’lerk in his private office. He used noral suasion, strongly reinforced. A Word and a Blow. "You will play poker with my money, 5h? Take that”—a punch in the nose. 'You will buy $260 sealskins with noney you never earned, will you? How does that hit you?”—a right swing on the Jaw. And so on. Mr. Peacock's arguments assured the clerks that they had best seek other employment. But, as the story con tinues, Eames, after a while convinced Mr. Peacock that he was really, truly £ood, and Peacock reinstated him as Ills private secretary. Lately it appears Peacock discovered that Eames has been speculating in stocks with office money and going Into other ventures in which he was a certain loser. Peacock had Eames ar rested. It is asserted that while the iccusation against Eames charges him with embezzling $14,000, this is only one specific charge, and that his pecula tions amount to $150,000. It is also said that Mr. Peacock’s employes have filched $500,000 in the last three years md that some of them have fled the city. _ MORMONS ESCORTED TO GERMAN FRONTIER Missionaries Will Not Be Al lowed to Stay in Kaiser Bill’s Domain.

FLEGE, BEHIND PRISON BARS, VOWS GRIME WAS NOT HIS 3n Evidence Given by Young. Eichtencamp, Man With Whom Victim Lived Is Lodged in Jail. Ponca, Neb., July 22.—Through the. prison bars of the county jail at this place William Flege. retfcent, stolid, pale, showing plainly the effects of a light In jail repeats: "l no killed ier,” but will not discuss evidence. He gas arrested yesterday, charged with, '.he brutal murder of his sister Louise, committed with diabolical cunning. June 30. The illusive motive for the crime, which has been lacking since detectives began probing the mystery, It is thought, has been found. Albert Eichtencamp. the 18-year-old farm, hand, under suspicion from the firsts under the pressure of persistent ques tioning yesterday made statements' that the officers thought warranted the first arrest No signed confession was< made, but extracts of the statements made by the boy are In the possession* if C. A. Kingsbury, county attorney,, if Dixon county. Horrifying as It, the motive, that the police say, Impelled the brother to* >lay his sister, was that he wanted her place filled by Miss Ida Hendricks, his sweetheart, who it is said refused to marry him while his sister kept house. According to the statements* made by young Eichtencamp, the murder was committed a few minutes, ifter dinner and was precipitated bjr in argument before the meal. William had purchased an automobile some time before and had been running it every available minute and often was* jut late at night. When he tolody of the girl, but concluded to wait intti Eichtencamp’s story had been, earned. The entire afternoon was con lumed in getting the hoy to tell his itory. When he finished, he was In tears and almost prostrated by fear. According to Mr. Kingsbury “it came to a point where eaoh was accusing the ither, and the boy told to save him lelf.” Flege Helps Officers. Every day since the murder was sommitted William Flege has driven, ifficers in his automobile all over the fountry in his frantic effort to catch, the murderer. No one more than he; las seemed more anxious that justice; je done. When it was proposed to ot ter a reward he was only too glad to pledge his part, and accordingly $1,500 was offered. On the day following the irime, when reporters visited the scene,, (hough it was dark and the sepulchral lilence about the lonely farm op pressed, William asked first of all if they would like to see the body and-.; pffered to pilot the way. The murder of the German girl was one of the most baffling which Nebras sa officials have been called upon to unravel. The scene is nearly seven allies from Wayne and almost a mile from the traveled road. She kept, house for her brother. Young Eicli tencamp had been at the house srtice the middle of March. June 30 the three sat down to dinner at the farm home. Shortly afterward, according to the stories first told the authorities, Will iam drove away in his automobile, took in his brother Fred and proceeded to, Dixon. The farm hand went to the field and, returning at 6 o’clock, found the body lying in the front yard guard ed by Bruce, a large dog. A bullet had entered the back of her head, fired so close that it set fire to her sunbonnet; another entered her right breast, went downward under the skin to the fifth, rib. shattered that bone and lodged in. the spine. Ei^ntencamp took his time and called up Fred Flege, a mile away, and told him something was the matter with Louise, neglecting to say that she, was dead. William was found at the Hendricks home and walked across the fields to the house instead of coming In his machine, which he said was be ing washed. Officers say that William Flege and" young Eiehtencamp have been under observation every minute since the crime and that suspicion has always pointed in their direction. Held Tramp Theory. A tramp had been seen in the com munity the day before, and a theory was 30on formulated that he had com mitted the crime. The tramp was found but cleared himself. This left the au thorities in the dark, as no possible motive could be adduced, for It was learned that lust did not prompt the crime. Since the arreet of their brother, Henry and Fred Flege maintain a rigid; silence except to say they want Justice done, no matter who is guilty. The German neighborhood is stirred deeply.
