But they placed his punishment at only 25 years im prisonment actually 14 years with "good behavior" time counted out. Dismayed by the failure of what they regarded as a perfect case for a hanging verdict, the state at torney's oliice at once decided to put Wanderer's neck again in jeoparclv Lby bringing him to trkil for his second murder that of fhe ragged stranger" whom he confessed having hired to stage the "holdup." The stranger, later characterized by Wanderer as "the poor boob" and "poor fish," acted according to in structions and met his death doing so.

He then snatched another army weapon from his dupe's hand and poured a fusillade of shots into his wife's body, N Wanderer was brought , back to day from Joliet penitentiary,, where he is serving his 25-year term.

R. P. Dee, vice president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steam ship Clerk?. Freight Handlers, Ex press and Station Employes replying to the carriers' objections to the agreement declared that to abrogate the rules "would be equivalent to re establishing old conditions of armoured trains, private detective agencies and all the evils for wfrich they stand." He declared that the national agreements provided for an --orderly process of handling commodities without interruption to traffice in contrast to continuous strife." prior to January 1, 1918. "The old industrial order has been challenged," he said. "Forward-looking employers are beginning, to re cognize labor's right to a voice in conditions of employment. The "new method has been tried aud has re sulted everywhere in greater effi ciency. We are forced to believe that there is an ulterior motive back of'the demand for abrogation of our national agreements." ' Telegraphers Join Mexican Rail Strike Mexico City. March 1.

To the police that night Wanderer sobbed out a pitiful tale of an at tempted holdup in which he had suc ceeded in shooting down the high wayman, but not before his wife had been mortally wounded. The police apparently believed the story, it was plausible and Wanderer had made an enviable record overseas, having risen from the ranks. Detectives Traced Gun. The detectives departed, leaving Wanderer alone with his dead, but taking with them the revolver of the ragged hold-up man. Then on July 7 Wanderer was locked up.

A quarrel last night in a North Side amusement garden occurred when Mrs. Orthwein and Ziegler met, each in the company of others. Later, she told the police, Ziegler forced his way into her apartment and when he became threatening. she said, shehot him.

STOKE CIGARETTE Former Army Lieutenant, - Convicted as Slayer of Wife, Faces Jury for Killing "Ragged Stranger." to be hanged as soon as possible to expiate his crimes. But when his trial started on Oc tober 17 he had changed his mind. He completely repudiated his "con fession,''' saying that it had been wrung from him by psychic sugges tion and police brutality. This lat nr contention of the defense was taken seriously by the jury, it was discovered. Also the efforts made to show that Wanderer always had been abnormal and that if he had killed his wife it was while insane. 1'he jury also was greatly impressed with the story ct Wanderer's sister of how his mother had committed suicid because she had dreamed repeatedly that her son was being hanged. The state based its case almost entirely on the confession, the tes timony of a number of newspaper men who had talked to Wanderer after his arrest and upon the mo tive that the former officer, tired "of married life and abhorring the thought of becoming a father-, had stagiS the fak? hold-up as a con venient method of ridding himself of his responsibilities and starting life anew. It was also shown that for several nights preceding the murders Wanderer had forsaken his wife while she made clothing for their coming child, and had escorted a 16-year-old girl to dance haTTs" and other amusements. But it was the vivid picture of police brutality as painted by At torneys Short and Guenther that the jury remembered when it retired for what was to prove a 48-hpur de liberation. Not one, it was later ex plained, voted for the death' pen alty, and only two for life imprison ment. Six believed .Wanderer in sane, they told Judge Pam, but was afraid he later would be released from the asylum for the criminal in sane on a writ of habeas corpus. S,p the verdict of 25 years was rend ered actually-1 less than five years for each of the three victims. Then started the demand to hang Wanderer by trying him for the murder of the "ragged stranger." The police again circularized the en tire United States and Canada with the morgue picture of the dupe, and a score of "identifications" were made. None has stood up, how ever, so that it is for the murder of "John Doe" that Wanderer goes to trialvtoday. Agitators Facing Trouble in Mexico Will Be Dealt Willi as Politi cal Intriguers Is Threat.
