MHness Trrlnsj tiJoatlfr His-Baseless lira. Tellow journalism has had Its trial and hae been convicted convicted of faking. The Dally News reporter who. conjured up the 'confession", of.. Mrs. Frank E. Wheeler that James Dlggs murdered her husband, after bluffing and blustering. fter giving the lie to the county attor ney's office, as well -as to a reputable newspaper, waa given a chance before Judge Crawford of tha .pollca court to make good and he failed ignominously; In other words, after a thorough Investi gation, his alleged "confession" was not t)n1y proven to be a high-handed fake, but both Mrs, "Wheeler and Dlggs were dis charged for Want of evidence to warrant a conviction: .--'- At 1:05 Thursday afternoon Police Juge 'Crawford -1lcharged James Dlggs, colored, and Mrs Dora Wheeler, charged with the murder of Frank E. Wheeler; whoae body was fou, id on Bomb Fourteenth street on the evening of February 2S. Deputy County Attorneys Fitch and Bhotwell. for the state, placed on the stand over a doien witnesses to establish the- relations of Dlggs and Mrs. Wheeler, the movements of Dlggs on the evening, of the murder and the possible motive for the crime, while Attorney TV. W. DodgS, representing the defendants, called only Matron Gibbons of the city Jail for the defense. Neither Dlggs nor Mrs. Wheeler took the stand. The case was submitted without arguments. Deputy COunty Attorney Fitch .urged that the de fendants be held to tha district court. Faker on the Stand. One of the features at the trial .was the testimony of Harry Wilkinson, reporter for the Daily News, who1 reiterated an alleged confession said to havd been received by him from Mrs. Wheeler on' the morning of February 26 In the -natron's department. Without referring to-, the credibility of the alleged confession 'the " police Judge de clared that the confession must not be con sidered against Dlggs, and. If It be true. It would merely indicate the feelings of the wife for her murdered husband at the time. The police Judge further said in giving his decision that the only scintilla of evidence offered by the state was the attempt of the detectives ' to connect Diggs' hoes with footprints found In the soil near the scene of the murder, and the visit of Dlggs to the Millard hotel engine room the day before the murder. 'Judge, Crawford declared It would be the height . of oily to put the county to the expense of a Jury trial on such evidence as that brought before him. Matron" Gibbons repudiated In part the yellow Journal confeaaloa offered by the state. '.'''. The court room was crowded to suffoca tion. The case was 'taken up about 9:30 and lasted 'until arter 1 o'clock. It proved the most Interesting taej.'of: the kind to be heard In the police 'cbiirt for many years. . Bio Evidence; front the Flrat. - At the time of tho murder of Frank E. Wheeler. James Dlggs 'and Mrs. "Wheeler .were arrested ,'on suspicion of having been parties to the crlmt .Diggs being supposed to have been the person who dealt' the fatal blow.1'' The rHtter was brought bs fore the grand ')hrr then In "session, but ror want, of Wis the prisoners wer. discharged.'

Last week Miss Ira ity heeler, sister of the mur dered . man, 'arrived ' from Kansas and began proceedings ti reopn the case, with the alleged confession and the aforemen tioned Junior yellow In the spotlight. With the. Junior yellow printing a tirade of scur rilous attacks ory ,ths county attorney's office snd insinuating that the otherrnews papers were trying: to. shield Dlggs and Mra. Wheeler because, they had been beaten on a "scoop," (meaning the alleged con fession), the county attorney was finally prevailed upon to try the case lh the po lice court . to. satisfy all Interests and 4o clear the -office of the aspersions that It had not performed Its fulj duty In the premlees. , The result was that the prelim inary hearing was set for Thursday morn ing, when the case was tried with nearly all of the . state's full . strength. The de cision of the Judge, came with much force on those who wanted tr see fair play all aroupd and yellow Journalism exposed In its night garments, i . ConSdenee of Defense. ." The fact that Attorney Dodge, for the defenda ts, was .content to rest, his-ease on the evidence of Police Matron Gibbons, whd ' testified only to the alleged ' confes sion, showed. the confidence of tha de fense." i. - - . Harry Wilkinson took tha stsnd and re peated what he declared Mrs. Wheeler told him in i ha matron's - department on. the morning of February 36. Wilkinson said he went Iqto the, matron's department ostensibly- to see an, old wonn named Mrs. Dillon Snd while In 'the room held conversation with Mrs. Wheeler.' . "I first told Mrs. Wheeler that Dlggs hsd fully confessed and had implicated her," said the witness. . The-statement that Diggs had confessed was in itself a deliberate He, as everyone about , police headquarters affirmed.' Then Wilkinson said Mrs. Wheeler told him that she had begged Dlggs not to kill her' husband, that she knew he went to the Millard hotel engine room to get a look at Wheeler, and furthermore she had warned her husband about the matter and had arranged to move to Colorado. Wil. klnson also said the Wheeler woman told him that Dlggs Intended to kill her hus band that' he . might receive part of the Insurance carried by 'Wheeler. In favor of his wife; -1 Questioned in regard to tha circumstances under which he secured tha alleged con fession the witness ssld he waa positive the matron went into the east room while he spoke 4s the prisoner and thut he and the woman were at a table during the "confession." , , Mrs. 42lbbons Riddles ths Lies. Matron Gibbons, the only witness for the defense, waa called by Attorney Dodge. ' After relating the summary ejectment of tha yellow Juu-nallst from tha matron's de partment Mrs. Gibbons said she was not further than ten feet any time during the presence of Reporter-Witness . Wilkinson. She said: . "Wilkinson came In to see Mrs. Dillon, an old woman who wa in need of pecuni ary assistance and whom the reporter had been In the habit of seeing from day to day. While he was in the room I showed two women to a retiring room snd did not go further thn ten feet from the reporter. I heard him tell Mra. Wheeler that Dlggs had confessed and heard tha woman, reply: 'Well, If tie is tha guilty n.a I hope he will be punished !'. Of course, while I was a few feet away Mr. Wilkinson might have said more, but t don't 'think he did." - At the lima c the fafta confession Matron Gibbons waa cioaely questioned by a re porter for Ths - Be and shs waa positive that, all Wilkinson exchanged with the woman wers ths words mentioned in the matron's 'festtmoDr- Mrs. Wheeler at that llui lfae pvlUvl deoJtd making any O'BONAIIOE-REDF.IOND COMPANY TcuA Vdaves Sample Sale of While Eton and Dolcro Jackets , Wert 97.50 Mow f 3.9.1.

Even under the most approved methods of "sweating" prisoners the police wers una ble to get anything from the woman which might have implicated either herself or Diggs in the murder. Fake Most Sot Be Considered. In giving his decision Police Judgs Crawford referred to the "alleged con fession," saying: "Mr. Wilkinson's alleged . confession trust not be considered against Diggs, In that he was not present at the time It was said to have been secured. .The con fession. If it be considered at all, would only show the concern of Mrs. Wheeler for her murdered' husband. The rela tions between Dlggs .and Mrs. Wheeler have been shown and some probable mo tive established, but aside from- ths facta that Dlggs" shoes seemed to have fitted Into tracks found near the scene of the murder and that Dlggs had a friendly conversation with Wheelrt ths -Millard hotel there is not a. scintilla of evidence, to Warrant me btndins; the defendants 'over tt tho district court.". ' When th decision was announced friends of- the accused attempted a dem onstration, which was quickly suppressed by the police. Movements of Dlggs. The testimony regarding ths movements of Dlggs on the evening of Februsry 23 was confusing at the best. Mr. darrell said he went to church at Twenty-fourth and Grant streets, arriving at the house of wor ship about time for service, which was g o'clock. He said Dlggs had not been away front tha place more than' once, then for fifteen minutes,' since t o'clock. The body of Wheeler was found at .7:20 by George Welch and was then wsrm. Mrs. Osrrell was sadly mixed regarding her recollection of time. Her testimony was of no value. Guy Btevena, garbage hauler, said he saw Diggs at Thirteenth and Iav enworth streets a fsw minutes- after. I o'clock that evening. Several witnesses testified Dlggs called at the Millard hotel engine room on. the afternoon of th day before ths murder. One aald Dlggs and Wheeler held a friendly conversation for half an hour. Among the Interested spectators In ths court were Miss Ira Wheeler, sister of the murdered man, and C. L. Shamp, secretary of the local union of stationary firemen. Two detectives of the city Jail went on the stand and tried to establish a connec tion: between the shoes Dlggs wore on th evening of Februsry 2t and shoe, prints found in the soil near the spot -where Wheeler's body waa found. - When asked to produce the shoes for evidence they wers "unable to say where the shoes were. The other witnesses merely testified ss to the finding of the body and their aco.ualnts.nce with Dlggs and Mrs. Wheeler. In ' the main the evidence was substan tially the same as 'published in Th Bee at the -time of the' murder. Dlggs Ost on Bond, - After being released by the police Judge James Dlggs muttered a few uncompli mentary remarks in the direction of Btev Maloney, on of th plain clothes squall at th city Jail, for which offense Maloney arrested Dlggs on the charge of disorderly conduct. Dlggs waa Immediately released on a cash bond. Maloney waa on of th witnesses agalnat Diggs. DEATH RECORD. Mrs. J. W. Mann. Mrs. J. W. Munn died at her horn In Chicago Wednesday night.
