"I did not murder Orevllle Harden'." Is
the reply P. 8. Free shrieks to his Imag
inary accusers In lits cell at the city Jail.
"Sometimes they - whlttper to me, again
they will talk in ordinary tones and then
again they will scream in my ears that I
murdered Orevllle Ilayden, but I tell you
before Dod 1 am Innocent of the chars,"
said Free Friday morning-.
After walking the' streets nearly all night
Free presented himself at the office of the
city jail at o'clock Friday morning and
asked to be placed In a cell, as ho wished
to give himself up, meet his accusers and
And rest for his weary mind.
While Free talks quite rationally at times.
It Is evident he la laboring under a strange
form of mental aberration. lie realises his
mental condition and appears anxious to
meet those who are continually whispering
and talking to him and pointing the finger
of scorn toward him.
Arrested osi Suspicion.
"Six years ago I was working at Colfax,
Wash., and was arrested on suspicion of
having murdered Orevllle Ilayden, son of
a wealthy farmer living near Colfax. I
was beld In jail ssven months and finally
acquitted. Young Hayden was shot by rob
bers. I was working in a harvest field at
the time. A few weeks ago, while working
in a harvest field of South Dakota, I sud
denly fell under tne hypnotic power of
someone. The first thing I knew I heard
a whisper In my ear, 'You murdered Ore
vllle Hayden,' but I could not see the per
son who whispered the words.
"I came to Omaha two weeks ago and
have had but one night's sleep during that
time. The same person who whispered to
me on the South Dakota harvest field fol
lowed mo to Omaha and repeated the accu
sations. After I had been In Omaha sev
eral days people would shout from the
street cars, 'You murdered Orevllle Ilay
den I' I have not had a moment's peace
since I was hypnotized In South Dakota.
This morning someone whispered and told
me I had better confess, but there Is noth
ing to confess.'
Such was Free' story.
Free Is being cared for at the city jail.
His mind will be examined by the authorities.

WORLD'S TYPEWRITING RECORD
Is Smashed by Pueblo Boy, Who Takes
Nearly Five Thousand Words
la Oa Hoar.
PUEBLO, Colo.. Dec. IB. Ray T. Vanet
tlsch, stats news editor of the Pueblo
Chieftain, broke the world's record for
speed on a typewriter last night when he
took 4.917 words In one hour. The record
for one hour was formerly held by Paul
Hunter, who took 3,830 words during the
National Supply show at Madison Squaro
garden. New York, last month.
Mr. Vanettlsch beat Mr. Hunter's record
1,087 words, and the achievement was all the
more remarkable from the fact that his dic
tation was received over the long distance
telephone from Denver, a distance of 120
miles. The matter read was the supreme
court's decision in the Patterson contempt
case, and was dictated by Alva Swain, the
Chieftain's news representative in Denver.
The total number of words written by Mr.
1 Vanettlsch was (.100 from which 13 were
deducted on account of errors. A duplex
telephone In the Chieftain office was used
for the test, thus enabling Mr. Gratton E.
Hancock to hear every word dictated by
Mr. Swain. Another remarkable feature of
the achievement was that Mr. Vanettlsch
used only ene finger of each hand, the type
writer used being a No. 2 Smith Premier,
one In dally use at the Chieftain office. M.
J. Leary held a watch 011 the test ai the
Denver end of the line; the test was also
witnessed by several newspaper and As
soctated Press representatives In both Den
ver and Pueblo.
In June, 1MH, Mr. Vanettlsch became stats
newt editor of the Chieftain, which re
quires g good ear and nimbi fingers, bo-
cause of the fact that an average of (.000
words Is taken over the long distano tele
phone every nlgut. Sine his connection
with ths Chieftain Mr. Vanettlsch demon
strated that ha is the speediest typewriter
per tor la ths stata, but few of his friends
utalda of ths office have entertained the
Idea that ha was poaseaaed of tho world's
raoord ability. The CbleftaJn office was

To California
Just as Cheap to Go
As to Stay at Home
Don 't get the idea that California has nothing
but "bon-ton" exclusive resorts. There are
numerous moderate-priced hotels .nd many
homes -where visitors are entertained at very
low cost.
Here is a fair estimate of the expense of a
four week's trip to the "Golden State."
Two first-class round-trip tickets from Omaha. . $180.00
A first-class double berth out and back
Sixteen meals each (both ways) at BOo
Board and lodging in California, 22 days at 2. .
Expense of "Seeing the Slghta" at $1 a day each.
$S07.00
Total cost for each person In round figures 9153.00.
Stay four weeks more for only $28 additional per
person.
A slight saving over this can be made by taking a comfort
able and cleanly tourist sleeper. Cost of double berth out and
back 1)1.60.
The Srlp In a Bock Island tourist sleeper Is as easy and
restful as the lngeneulty of man can make it.
