JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 19,—- The Missouri Supreme Court today over- ruled a motion for a rehearing of the case of Mrs. Aggie Myers, condemned to be executed on June 29 for the mur- der of her husband in Kansas City. Gov. Folk today stated that next F'¥i- day he would respite the woman for thirty to sixty days in order to have time to investigate into the facts of the éase and to determine whether or not to commute her sentence to life impris- onment. : The Supreme Court's decision also af- fects the case of Frank Hottman, the condemned woman’s accomplice, and he will be granted a respite by Gov. Folk when the woman is respited. LIBERTY, Mo., June 19.—Mrs. Aggie Myers, who is in the County Jail here, received today with evident satisfaction the news that Gov, Folk had promised to grant her a respite in order to in- vestigate her case further, to determine whether or not her sentence should be Later, when told that the Supreme Court had overruled the motion for a rehearing, she took the matter calmly.

WOMAN AND MAN KILLED HER HUSBAND. The murder of Clarence Meyer by his wife, Mrs. Aggie Meyers, and Frank Hottman, her paramour, as told in the confession of the latter and as corrob- orated entirely by all the circumstances attending the tragedy, was as atrocious as any in the world’s history. Frank Hottman wanted the woman to elope with him. The woman refused and insisted that her husband be murdered. The murder was arranged betwen them. On the fatal night, Hottmann was ad- mitted to the Meyer home, through the kitchen door, by Mrs. Meyers. He had provided himself with a sawed-off bil- Hiard cue. With it he struck Meyers, who was in bed. He had been drinking to screw up his nerve, and the blow was futile. Meyers sprang from bed and grappled with his assailant, forcing him into the dining room, and shouting ‘“‘murder” at the top of his voice. ‘Hush, honey,’’ said Mrs. Meyers, ‘“‘it's only Charlie.” Charlie was Meyers’ brother. ' Mey ers asked, “Charlie, what have done?” Meanwhile Mrs. Meyers got from the bedroom a slat from the bed, and re- turning struck Meyers with it. “You are hitting the wrong person, honey. Help me,” said the doomed husband. Then Mrs. Meyers ran back into the bedroom, got her husband’s razor, and pulling back her husband's head while he was clinched with Hottman. drew the razor across his throat. Meyers collapsed, and as he lay on the floor Mrs. Meyers drew the razor across his throat several times more. The blood that spurted from Meyers’ arteries had drenched completely the man he was struggling with. Mrs. Meyers ee Hottman to ,wash, sup- lied him with fresh linen from her usband’s stock and gave him her hus- band's hat. The woman promised Hott- man she would’ not give an alarm until he had time to gét out of town. From 1 o'clock until 6 Mrs. Meyers re- mained alone with the corpse of the man she had killed.

th . COURT ADVISES. JURY IN THE. COOK SUIT TAAL Plaintiff Must Have Shown that Publication Complained of Was False and Malicious,

JUDGE HINTON’S LOGIC

Tells Jury Post-Dispatch Should Be Given Verdict if Cook Were Negligent,

BUNCE’S ACTS BLINDING

Plaintiff Is Responsible for Neglect on the Part of His Subordinates,

By a Staff Posts Biapatcn. °* the Post: COLUMBIA, Mo., June 19.—The_ in- structions to the jury in the trial of former Secretary of State Sam B. Cook's Suit against the Post-Dispatch for $100, - 000 damages were read to the jury by Attorney Silver for the plaintiff and F N. Judson in behalf of the defendant. |

Che instructions were prepared by both sides and approved by the Court. Briefly, the instructions for the plain- | tiff directs the jury to return a verdict | for him if the. publié¢ation complained of | if false and malicious. Further, a ver- dict for the plaintiff Should be returned if the editorial complained of is defama- tory in the sense that it carries with it a criminal charge. For the defendant the Court approved instructions calling attention to the laws of Missouri requiring ‘bank exam- inations to. be made at least once a year. If it is shown that the’ diaintif£ neglected to examine this bank with in- formation as to its alleged ieveieinaicie before him, then he was Suilty of neglect of duty. Purther, the jury js charged that if it believes the Salmion Bank was insolvent and & competent. bank examiner with reasonable-¢are.kad-—not discovered the fact then Bank Mxaminer Bunce was guilty of gross negligence and the plain- aff should be held responsible for his delinquencies. It was the duty of the plaintiff to take up defects in the man- agement of the bank when they were directed to his examination. The burden of proof is upon the plain- tiff, according to the instructions of the Court,-and unless it is proved that the plaintiff acted through malice for the purpose of slandering Mr. Cook with- out regard to the condition existeing in the Salmon Bank then a verdict for thé defendant should be found. Plaintiff takes the ground, as disclosed by the testimony of his witnesses, that the Post-Dispatch had no right to com- ment upon his alleged failure to dis- cover the insolvent condition of the Sal- mon Bank, but should have confided its criticism to his office and the actions of his subordinates. In holding him to strict accountability as State Supervisor of Banks for the alleged neglect of his bank examiners, Cook contends that his personal] integ- rity was assailed. The defense maintains that as a pub- lic official Mr. Cook is subject to pub'ic criticism by a public journal. and that if his subordinates are Nable for neg- lect of official duty, he is equally liable with them. Cc. T. Bunce, who was a State bank examiner under the Cook administra- tion, spent considerable time -on the witness stand and was Subjected to a rigid cross examination by the defend- ant’s counsel. Capt. R. B. Price, president Boone County National McBlaine, president National Bank, and other well-known Columbia financiers, were present throughout Bunce’s testimony. Bunce’s candid admissions of negligence in ex- amining the Salmon bank in November, 1902, and again two years later in Jan- uary, 1905, or a few days prior to the plaintiff's retirement from office, pro- duced a perpetual smile on the faces of Capt. Price and his. associates. Taking the stand as a witness for the plaintiff, Bunce proceeded to apologize for the criticisms in his report in the Salmon bank management. He had no idea, he a&serted, that the Salmon bank was embarrassed at any time previous to June, 199, when it was closed by Cook's successor. He tossed several bouquets at the plaintiff and declared that neither he nor Cook, had the slightest intimation that the Salmon bank had suffered by reason of the fail- ure in 193 of. “Cattle King” Casey, who was indebted to the bank to the extent of nearly $100,000, of the Bank; Turner of the Exchange ‘CHRISTINA KRAUS, 15-YEAR-OLD BRIDF, AND SCENES OF HER STRIFE WITH MOTHER FOR LOVE

The couple returned to their home at 4063 South Thirteenth street elated over th@ir victory, Mrs. Coester was not in court. Kraus and the girl met while she was attending school. He is foreman for a brick company, and her walks home from school gave them opportunities to meet.

Government Will Deposit: That Amount in Bank to Aid

CITY BONDS SECURITY ee eee Money Will Remain for Several Years or Such a Period us It Is Needed. WASHINGTON, June 19.—A tacit agreement was reached today by the President, Secretary Shaw and the dele- gation of representative citizens of San Francisco, by which substantial aid will be given San Francisco by the Govern- ment. It is proposed that the United States Treasury deposit with the San Francisco banks $12,000,000 of Govern- ment money, with bonds of the city-as security for the deposit, the money to remain with the banks until such time as the Government shall call for it. This may not be for a number of years, so that the banks have practical .dssur- ance that they may retain the deposit for such a period as will be of value in the reconstruction of the city. Under the law the Secretary -of the Treasury has authority to deposit Goy- ernment funds in this way. He can- not, of course, bind his successer to leave the money on deposit, but he. him- self may leave it there until it is need- ed by the Government. It is proposed in California to organize a corporation with a capital of several millions. of dollars composed of prominent and in- fluential men throughout the State of California and others to issue bonds to guarantee the Government against loss through the banks. Other plans have been suggested for the raising of money to enable the people of San Francisco to rebuild their homes and business houses, but thus far, nothing has been proposed that will meet the ideas of Congress.
