Km 11 Ruser of Chalco is tn the Barpy county Jail at Papllllon with the c iiargn agalmt her of being ait accomplice In and accessory to the attempt to murder her husband, made by John Slager early on the morning of October 10. County Attorney Itmgo of Sarpy county went out to the Ruser farm, near Chalco, Monday to decide upon the course to take. He had determined that If Ruser wanted to forgive Ms wife for conspiring to take his life that aha might marry the Ruser farm hand with whom she had carried on the liaison he would permit him to do so and not prosecute the wife. But Ruser was .pot that ready to forgive. Instead he will begin suit for a divorce at once mid will retain custody of the 1-year-old child. ' "No, I don't propose to forgive her and I won't live with her. I am going to get a divorce and keep my baby to myself." That waa Ruser's reply to the county attorney's inquiry to what he proposed do ing. "I returned at once to Papllllon and drew up the complaint and gave It to Sheriff A. J. Bpearman, who has gone out to the Ruser farm to serve it and bring the woman lu to the jail," Mr. RIngo told The Hoe over long-distance telephone Tuesday m.imlnv "I mill nmaecute her with the same vigilance that 1 will prosecute the m ii n.

He was Indifferent to public senti ment, however, and did not determine on his action until Ruser had declared his In tention to break off with his wife. And the man said, the woman she gave me of tho tree and I did eat. And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me and I did eat. It's the same old story of Adam and Eve the man lays the blame on the woman and the woman on the serpent, which. In this case, Is the man. j lie county attorneys says that, while Mrs. Ruser has not repudiated her con fession made to the Omaha detectives, she Insists Slager and not herself Is responsible for the shame and crime In. which both are enmeshed and which has destroyed homa. Slager, In his dull stupidity, say "It's her fault. Bhe began It." Slager still occupies a cell in the Douglas county jail in Omaha. He seems utterly Indifferent to his fata and makes no plans lor his trial or hearing. John Wants Matilda to Uo. "I want Matilda to go to the peniten tiary with me 1." I go and 1 guess I'm sure going," said John Slager, who attempted to kill Emil Ruser for his wife's love. John peered out through the bars at the Douglas county Jail where his sunburn Is fast leaving a blank looking face. "When Matilda and 1 get out we will go sornewhare and live a decent life. That's all the plans I have. I ain't seen no lawyer and don't know what Is coming to me. I think that three years ought to be enough." John asked Interestedly whether Matilda (Mrs. Ruser) had "welched" and denied her connection with the murder plot or not, and when told that she waa "standing pat." he said: "Well, she's Just as guilty as me and Emll Is doing the right thing by both us, Ha could never have took her back. But I don't know what to think of the mess. I have thought about It some and they are doing the rlicht thing. Don't you think 'three years la enough?" Officers who have charge of Slager are surprised at his absolute Indifference to his fate and that he should blame the woman as he does for his "downfall." They are inclined to think he Is a mental incapable and does not recognize Justice from In justice. He apparently does not realise the crime which he committed against Emll Ruser. As a matter of fact the law says John and Matilda, if convicted, would be en titled to from one to twenty years in the penitentiary, regardless of what John thinks. HASKELL SUIT NOT VALID retltlon Could Be Made So, However, by Attaching Affidavit, sva Law teqalrea. That the S9W.O0O libel suit petition fllad by Governor Charlea N. Haskell of Okla homa against William R. Hearst la not a I valid petition and will have to be amended j before the suit can be heard In court is the opinion of attorneys who have examined the document. The petition is deficient In that It la not veiifleil by the affidavit of Mr. Haskell or his attorneys. While thla was evidently an oversight on the part of the lawyers, It Is not considered fatal by attorneys be cause It has been customary for the court to allow the verification to be added at any time before the trial of the case. The statutes rtlnitng to suits at law provide that all petitions must be verified l y en affidavit, either of the plaintiff or the attorney, stating that the facta set I forth In the petition are true. There Is no ! surh affidavit attached to the Haskell pe- titk-n. The attorneys merely signed on the tilaiJc spare under the prayer, not even a blank form for an affidavit being attached ! to the document As the petition stands now, neither Haa j kcll or his attorneys have taken an oath that Haskell has been libeled by the New iork editor. The document merely says iio has and lets It go at that. U Is not bfdleved, however, the omission will Invalidate the service on Mr. Hearst.
