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.

of J. M. Ceballos ft Co.,vbankers and mer
chant, with liabilities between sS.QUMXH)
and $4.ono,oop. was announced today in a
statement which declared that the failure
was due to the defalcation and absconding
of Manuel SHveira of Silvelra ft Co., Havana,-
agents of the New York - company.
SUveira's defalcation is alleged to amount
to about fl,ono.f00. He sailed from Havana
on October t, ostensibly for New. York, to
consult with the members of the firm of
; J. M. Ceballos ft Co., but has not reached
1 this city. Counsel for the assignee said
: todav that Silvelra has left on hla own
steamer, the Carmelina, for parta unknown,
accompanied by his wife and children, and
that every effort was being made to locate
him.
The members of the firm of J. M. Cebel
lus & Co. are J. M. Ceballos, John 8. Firke
and Anderson C. Wllaon. The assignee is
William M. Rowe of the Arm of Sullivan
ft Cromwell of this city. Mr. Rowe said,
today that the assets of tho firm were of a
very substantial kind, but after a hasty
examination thought they would require
I careful husbanding. Accountants are now
at work on the books of the company. It

NO TANGIBLE CLUE TO ASSASSIN
Captain Hase Scoffs the Wenas
Theory . and la Sot Cer
tain te Motive for
Maraer.
After two days of work by the sheriff's
ofhee the oeuiu of Herbert C. Buike, wose
body was round at l- ioience Monuay nio.n
ing, remains as deeply snroudta in mys
tery as it fis the morning he was found.
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.
One thing brought out by the tnves.lga
tion of the case is that the two men s-en
with Burke on the Florence car a..brtly
after 7 o'clock Sunday night and the two
men seen with him in the water works sta
tion between t and 9 o'clock are not the
same persons. There is no evidence so far
as to whether the three were companions
or merely casual fellow passengers and
sightseers,
Testimony of Conductor.
Conductor M. H. Holbrook, :119 Temple-
ton street, who was on the Floience car, la J ernor of Colorado and tho Idaho authoil
certaja Burke was one of three men who j tics were parties and hence that Jurlsdlc

waa shorter than Burke and both wore executive duty, from tho contemplation of
dark clothes and stiff hats. 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. On of them had previously asked
htm if he thought it would be too late to Idaho and Colorado authorities said the
get into the water works building. I courts could not afford to countenance any
Engineers Potter and Pearson at the ! such abuse of high officials by counsel. Ho
watr works both observed Burke looking toik the position that even If it were true
at the engines In different parts of the that the governor of Colorado had con
building. They also noticed the two men nived at the removal of the federation of-
were near him part of the time. Neither ,
of them could say the three had come to-!
getber. as they did not seem to converse
with each other. The description of the
two men does not tally with that given by
Conductor Holbrook. 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. -'',-.
' :.U I wpa'mn: Acldna..
, Captain ..Has believes If it waa an ac
cident Burke followed the road, tripped on
the timber at the dump and slid down the
smooth sheet-Iron slide to the car. and
then, thinking he was on -a large pile of
cinders, walked off the ' car and dropped
down the incline. 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.
Captain Haxe expects to go out to Flor
ence In the evening to look at the sltua-
tion after dark to see if the accident theory
Is plausible,

of women In the park were on and thu
