PROBATE WORK BY WILLIAMS How Eatataa Want Utriardad Dnriif Eii Term in ffioa, MORE F MUDDLE DISCLOSED BY RECORDS Gaardlaaa Dissipate Ponds Belonaln tn Minora nnd the Incompetent Jaage Allows All With at Qaeatloa. Pursuing the topic of J. A. Williams as piobate Judge of Pierce county, the World Herald correspondent says: Now comes another big bunch ofthera that have be.in the subject of Inquiry more recently and which will be the sub ject of a report by Judge Kelley to the Board of County Commissioners October 1 and on which ex-Judge Williams will be called upon to make prompt explanation and settlement or take the consequences for failure to do so. In fact. It has been very pointedly conveyed to him that . the board la In no mood for quibbling over his old records and accounts. For Instance, Herman Knaak died and left an estate then valued at about $14,000. though worth more now by reason of the advance In the value of land. After the personal property had been sold, every thing squared up and the widow given her share, there was left 11.400 In cash for the children. Mrs. Knaak. as their guard Ian, deposited the money In a bank nt Plalnvlew, where It was drawing Interest. She was later married to Mike Elchberger. The second husbsnd secured possession of this money; also some more belonging to his wife, and bought a ISO-acre farm with -dcr contract In his own name. Not a scratch of a pen Is on record to show that Elchberger gave a note or security for the money, promise to pay interest or In any way guaranteed that the children should get bark either the original amount or Increment. . During this period guardian's reports were filed by Mrs. Elchberger on April 30, 1W4 and May , 1905, but they were received placidly, notwithstanding the unusual cir cumstance of money of .wards being in vested without permiSHion of the court, much less being Invested In the name of another, who might. If he chose, assign the contract of land to an Innocent pur chaser and make all kinds of trouble all I around, As soon as these- facta came to the knowledge of Judge Kelley as an Indica Hon of the indifference in the conduct of the office, he Immediately sont for Mr. Elchberger and Informed him thut the nhortest cut to straightening out a compll- I cated situation would be to secure a deed for the land and then to deed It over to ; Mrs. Elchberger as trustee for the estate I of herself and children. He told Mr. Etch- burger that under ordinary circumstances the court would not permit the investment of guardianship funds In land, but in con sideration of the fact that the land had Increased in value tho court would approve the' proceedings throughout as soon as Elchberger deeded over the property, which he did.

Deputy BherilT Hase, who has been re tailed to work on the case, otter running down all clues, declares he has been unable to unearth any evidence to offer a reasona ble explanation of the case. The murder theory which Is held by many who have looked Into the case offers ihe;uun or Aimers, wno are in prison best solution of some of the circumstance but absolutely no motive for the crime cm be found. The accident theory la seemingly disproved by the location of the body.

Mr. Holbrook which right-thinking people turn with says he did not observe any conversation between Burke and the two, but all three got off together and went toward the water works.

Both of the wen, he says, were larger than Burke and one wore a light suit of clothes. The only tangible accident theory so far advanced Is ' that owing to the darkness Burke missed his way and took the road leading to the dump Instead of the one go ing toward the car. This, It is said, could easily happen, as the road to the dump Is used frequently and Is well worn. It leads abruptly to a timber which Is placed across it to prevent wagons that are being dumped fronr backing down the Incline. The ashes aro then thrown on a sheet-Iron chute, which extends about a third of the way across the car. On the other side of the ear is a steep declivity, on which tha body waa found. -'',-.

Tho principal trouble with this theory is the fact the body was found too far from the car to have dropped there of ita own weight. Burke's mother and his cousin, Fred Blckley, both say Burke was in the habit of going about alone and that he seldom had companions. Mr. Rlckley says he does not know of his keeping company"" with young women at all,, and Captain Haxe does not credit the theory that a woman Is 'mixed up In the case.
