LAPORTE, In!., Nov. 2t. If the confession of James Stambaugh 1 true as made today to K. II Weir, the leading attorney for the defense in the Ora-ybead murder case, James Graybeal, who has boon on trial for his life, is not guilty. Stambaugh has confessed to the murder of William Jones, but notwithstanding the story of the crime, which was brutal In the extreme, he has not been arretted, while Graybeal's trial will continue until a verdict is rendered by the Jury. Stambaugh's confession is substantiated by the testimony of Emma Gerbrick, who says that be fired the fatal bullet. It is the Gerbrick woman, Gray teal 5 mistress, who has left no stone unturned to save her lover from thi gallows. Interest In the sensational case reached Its highest pitch this afternoon when Stambaugh entered the witness-box. Mr. Weir o?ked but one question. It was: "Vo you know who fired the shot that lulled William Jones?" "I did." Such was Stambaugh's confession, but the crowded court-room was disappointed. The story of his crime had previously been told by Mr. Weir with graphic clearness. The most rigid cross-examination failed to ehake the material points of his testimony. Tha murder of William II. Jones was committed oa Tuesday night, June 5. and James Graybeal was arrested on Monday morning, July 2, for the crime. The crime came to light through a confession made on. the Sunday before by James Stambaugh, Mrs. William J. Station and her daughter Laura. James Graybeal and Mrs. Emma Gerbrick made their home In a little frame house, less than a block from the harbor. William Jone3 and his wife lived in the same neighborhood. James Stambaugh, an ex-coniet, boarded at the etratton home. On the evening of the murder Stambaugh, Mrs. Gerbrick and Mrs. Jones were cut driving. The later was taken to her noma late In the evening and Stambaugh and the Gerbrlck woman started for another drive, and at about 11 o'clock they hält id in front of Mrs. Gerbrick's home. Tha evidence, as given by Stambaugh at the coroner's inquest, was to the effect that Graybeal was apparently asleep, for when .Mrs. Gerbtick knocked loudly at the do or there was no response. She lighted matches at the window to attract Graybeal's attention. Stambaugh then suggested th3t Mrs. Gerbrick kick the door down, and Mrs. Gerbrick began to carry out the suggestion with a vigor that brought Graybeal to the door, lie threw it open, at tha same time swearing that no man should kick his door down. At that time Stambausrh stood about ten feet behind Mrs. Gerbrlck. About the time tha door was thrown open Jone, who resided but a short distance away and who was attracted by the commotion at the Gerbrick place, stepped out from behind a small lumbar pile, thirty or forty feet from where Graybeal stood. Gaybeal. according to Stambaugh's first story, fired a revolver at Jone3 and killed him instantly. He then dragged tha body Into a shed and Stambaugh fled to his boarding house, but was followed shortly by Graybeal. who forced him to assist in disposing of the body. The couple returned to th Gerbrick house. They collected L'O pounds of scrap-iron and carrying the body to the dock weighted it with tha iron. The body was then rolled into ths harbor. Graybeal was frequently seen at the place afterward, ostensibly fishing. Stambaugh now makes the sensational statement that the story of the crime, as gathered from his testimony a the Inquest and before the grand jury, was given through fear. He was promised his liberty if he implicated Graybeal In the murder and life imprisonment or death by hanging If he confessed that he was Jones's murderer. With his liberty menaced Stambaugh says he wrote letters confirming his confession. Stambaugh and Graybeal were confined In the county Jail pending the latter's trial. Stambaugh toll Graybeal of the crime and his repeated statements led to investigation by the attorneys for the defense and Stambaugh's full anl complete confession. Stambaugh fired the fatal shot. If his confession be true. Jones laboring under the influence of liquor, struck him in the melee at the Gerbrlck house. Jones reached Into his hip pecket and drew out a razor and advanced toward Stambaugh, whereupon the latter drew his revolver and saying. "I've got to do it, and I will do It," fired, the ball entering Jones's breast. As soon as Jones foil Stambaugh jumped Into the buggy with Mrs. Gerbrlck and drove away, but later returned, and the body was weighted with iron and sunk In the harbor lUFFHU'S IWF.ATVIB CEMLS. Something; About the I'nfortunate School Teacher. FARMLAND, Dec. 1. Special. II. O. Iluffer, the school teacher who committed (suicide last Sunday, wa3 in many respects a rare genius. lis had recently invented a miniature Catling gun to protect watermelon patches from the midnight Invasion of thieves. It Is so arranged that by touching any of the small strings scattered promlscuusly throughout the patch it will connect two explosive chemicals which Ignite the powder in the many barrels of the "peculiar Instrument" and cause It to hurl shot In every direction over acres of ground. Many of the melon raisers of thia vicinity had used the "protector" the past season and pronounced It a grand success. He abo invented a program clock, of euch intricate mechanism that It will call and dismiss classes with the precision and order of a military drill. Hundreds of articles scattered around his late residence attest his inventive ingeniuty, and show that the strain upon hi3 mind at last broke the frail cord and left him a mental wreck. He also made a strong walnut box to hold his private affairs and requested his parents. If he should die first, to burn the box "without opening or disturbing its contents. When he was discovered after the fatal shot this box was almost under the body, as if a reminder of his former request. His parents faithrully carried out his wish, and committed the box, together with its secret contents, to the flames, thus destroying the only possible evidence that would unravel the mystery of the sad affair. HIS WHEHEAnOCTS OKSOWX, Charles Wle Mysteriously Missing from St. Ioai Since Last August, DELPHI, Nov. 2D. Special. The mysterious disappearance of Charles E. Wise, the young son of a wealthy dunkard widow, living in this county, has been the leading subject of disevssion here for several weeks.

XATl'RAIi GAS NOT FAILING. Think the Statements Retllcnlous nntl Outrageous. To the Editor Sir: In reply to a statement in the Sun of this town from State Gas Inspector Jordan, In which he says he is Just in from the gas field, and has found that the gas Is rapidly failing, that the pressure Is off, that wells only show 240 to 320 pounds pressure, that the gas will only last about four years longer in his oolniun. Thosr st,itemints are ridiculous and an outrage and imposition upon the people j in the gas belt and in the state of Indiana. because such a report reaches ail parts of the Unitod State and has th effect of stopping investors who would invest and come into the gas belt, thereby adiiing to the taxable wealth of the state and encourage enterprise in the gas be.'U We drilled our iirst well here seven years ago, which has boon constantly in use ever since and the well is as strong and furnishes as much gas now as it did at first. But like all other wells in the belt it does not show as much pressure Just now as It did at first, before It was usil. for the reason that the well is furnishing a great number of consumers, which takes a large amount of the pressure, but turn the consumer.-? off and the pressure is just the same as it v.a.s seven years ago. This I feel sure is the condition of every gas well in the gas belt, except wells that are drilled too deep and are obstructed with S3lt water or other substances, which will, of course, stop the flow of gas more or less. Mr. Jordan don't consider the enormous consumption that takes a givat portion of the pressure from the wells, especially during cold weather, when there Is ten times as much gas used as there Is during the summer. So you see, it is the large amount of consumption that takes off the pressure from the wells, but turn the consumers off and it will leave the pressuro the same as it was at first. So the only thing that will do to rely upon in regard to the flow of gas is that is is constantly generating and will continue to generate as long as the vent is kept open and free from obstruction. If you draw too hard on a well po as to take about all the pressure off you will let in salt water and obstruct thy flow of gas. I have been in the gas business and drill ing welis ever since gas was obtained in i the state and I speak from experience. A state gas inspector ls as unnecessary I as the fifth wheel to a wagon, as there la nothing for him to do that will benefit the public. It Is to be hoped that the next legislature will abolish the office of state gas inspector and thereby stop the unnecessary expense and unwarranted reports. Redkey, Nov. 2S. A. W. M. FIRE IV A MINE. Three Hundred Men Thrown Out of Employment. BRAZIL. Nov. 21 Special. The new J shaft of the Brazil block coal company, ! located on 'the northwest border of the city, was damaged by fire last night to the . extent of $2 000 The engine and boiler j room were wholly destroyed and the ma- j chinery so completely wrecked that a new outfit will be purchased.

The minq h3d just started to work with the expectation of employing as many as 300 men by the first of the year, which will now be delayed It is claimed that the fire was tho work of an incendiary. The engineer, who was on duty and wiping his engine at the time, says that he heard something like an explosion and was thrown from his position out through the door. On recovering and returning to hl3 post but a minute later the building was enveloped In flames. If Incendiary, the fire-bug employed some kind of explosive to do his work. The insurance on building an-d machinery Ls $1,500. DIED FROM POISON. He Was Despondent Over the Death of Ills Wife. PRINCETON. Nov. 29. Special.

DENVER, Dec. 2.-Governor Walte has made a reply to a petition from the business men of Denver asking that gambling houses be reopened. In nis communication the governor attacks those who signed the petition and says that the Denver clergy were in league with the worst element before election to defeat him because he hsul endeavored to suppress gambling. He adds: "The religious sentiment of Denver may be correct in opposing gambling and lewdness in the city, but they have been exceedingly tardy In their manifestations. In the summer of lS'JC the war of the governor of the state upon the gamblers commenced. In all precding state administrations gambling had ben practically licensed and protected by the police. No vitrourotis war had ever been waift- against gambling by any governor of the state or tire and police board. The present governor found Messrs. Orr and Martin guilty of malfeasance in office "n protecting instead of prohibiting ths gambling houses of the city an.l removed them according to law. The othcers so removed refused to vacate their offices in the interest of the gamblers, arose in insurrection and by the aid of the sheriff's office, took illegal and arme possession cf the city hall. A district court, in the interest of the gamblers, enjoined the governor from the exercise of his constitutional rights. The is-ue was sharply defined letween the gamblers and the governor, who called out the militia of the state to suppress insurrection. Nowhere was the clt-rgy of Denver, the Y. M. C. A. and the W ( T. W and the prohibitionists in this tight. They were dead against the governor. The exceptions are so small and insignificant as to be unworthy of notice."

At no stage of the game was DePauw at all in the game, though she did gt together after ten points had been marked up against her and do s m go d wjrk, but she weakened at critical times and lost the game by poor team work. The day was a beastly one for a foot bail game. Before noon a fvggy moisture settled down and made it most uncomfortable to be out of doors, but th -re was .still hope left that it would not be sufficient to interfere with the grounds or the players. This hope was blasted. The game was just fairly begun and Purdu3 had just given the spectators and the men from Greencastle a foretaste of her work when it began to rain. Only slightly, it ls true, but enough to soon render the part of the gridiron which lay in the race track almost impassable. The soft loam ftom Sheri dan which goes to make the surface of the track seemed to drink la every bit of ! moisture that came its way, and with i the ever-Increasing volum? of rain this 1 part cf the fiV.d became worse and worse until toward the vlo?e f the game it was aimost impossible to make a play in it with any degree of credit to the player. The other half was not much better. It is covered with a short turf in places and Is bare in others. The rain made the grassy Spots slippery and the bare spots muddy, and the entire fie'.d in:st decidedly uncertain. It was this uncertainty that made the playing difficult. In this mud and slush the bright, golden yellow emblem of DePauw was buried. Its representatives were wallowed in It; they were walloped in it and mad 3 to like it. At every turn the Boilermakers made the Methodiäts eat it. Defeat was the lot cf the Green castle men when the ball was put in play. If there was at any time a suspicion that DePauw would score it was in the mind of some one wh was not familiar with the game or v. ho had not studied closely the work of the two teams. True. DePauw recovered herself temporarily during the early part of the first half, and the ultra-sanguine b.jgan to take some little hope when she held her own with the farmers, but even at this time, while at her best, she made no great gains and seemed to be nearly always 0:1 the defensive. Not Very Exciting. Under these circumstances it could not be expected that the game should have proved very exciting or that it should create any great amount of enthusiasm. It did not. mjst certainly. The rain drove everybody but the referees and linemen back into the grand stand early in the game, and the two elevens were left to enjoy the mud and rain while the l.f.O) people present did their best to keep warm and tried conscientiously to remain throughout the game. Most of them did so. but the stream of persons seeking the more comfortable quarters In hotel or home was not small after the trend cf the game became evident. The long, cold ride, with the prospect of a rain, dil not tempt many people to make the trip to the fair grounds. The two roads from Greencastle brought about 200 DePauw enthusiastists and the Big Four added as many from Lafayette, who came over to howl themselves hoarse in the support of Purdue. These contingents of course attended the game and enough Indianapolis people to swell the number to 1,500 or possibly 2.000 Joined them. They were for the most part ex-Indiana college men and their friends, and made up a crowd which, under fair circumstances, would have been a most enthusiastic one. But rain and a one-sided game soon dampened their spirits, and it was after that a mar ter of tolerance with them. A few persons drove the four miles to the fair grounds and occupied prominent positions about the fence enclosing the field during the first half hour of the play, but by that time the rain had become most disagreeable and they drove to cover. A party of Derauw b ys had the nerve to drive out in a tally-ho, but even they were sxon compelled to give up their swell but most uncomfortable seats and to seek places with the common herd in the grand stand. Purdue's Play. Purdue played for the most part an open game on the defensive, adopting Princeton's stylo of tackling, and when she had the ball relied almost entirely on forcing short gains. The ground was in such bad condition that it would not permit of work in this line. The run of Schmitz in the last half from the center of the field to DePauw's goal was phenomenal. He was assailed by no less than three of DePauw's men. but they had no more effect upon him than the wind. They never "phased" him, and he made the touch-down without even interfering assistance. Bushman of Purdue, who is, by the way, an Indianapolis boy, aL-o distinguished himself by a long run. It was made early in tha game before the rain had spoiled the ground, and resulted in Purdue's first score. On the side of DePauw there was some good individual work, but wit'mut the proper support at critical times this could amount to little. Ballard, the full-back. distinguished himself by his clever kicking and by some good rushing, though in the latter the team seemed to go to pieces 1 and there was no protection given him. 1 Raub, left-end, covered himpelf with glory by his wonderful tackling. He never let a man pass him, while the man on the other end hardly ever stopped one. It was around the right-end that Purdim made her gains when she did so by running. In the last play of the first part Bushman hurt his eye and was compelled to retire. : His place was filled by Schmitz, a man ' who continued the good work already bei gun by Bushman and who in m sense weakened the team. The Line-Up for Piny. It was 2:40 o'clock when the teams linetd up for play. Lawrr-nee A. Downs of DePauw and Purdue colleges was referee, and A. V. Randall of Wabash acted, as umpire. "Jack" Corbett of Harvard was lineman. The teams lined up as follows: Purdue. Positions. DePauw. I McIIenry Right-end Sandy Alward Right-tackle Gary Webb Right-guard. .MltchelKcapt.)

Right half-back Scotten Jamison Full-back Ballard Purdue won the toss and began by some brilliant playing. A kick by Moore sent the ball twenty-five yards into the DePauw field. DePauw lost the ball before she had regained any territory- A wedge then advanced Purdue slightly and Bushman, seeing an opening at the right-end, made a run for It and secured the first touch-down almost before DePauw realized that the gams had commenced. Fulkerson kicked g'oal, and the score was 6 ' to 0 for Purdue. After the line-up DePauw kicked off for twenty yards and Marshall caught tha ball, but before he could recover himself to any great advantage Mitchell was upon him, but a foul tackle returned the ball into DePauw's field. Moore made a slight gain in a wedge, but lost the ball. Bv a series of wedges and plays around DePauw's right-end, Purdue I advanced to within twenty yards of goal i and then Bushman made a goodi run and ' reached goal, but threw the ball from him before he cou'4 make the touch-down, and it was taken by DePauw and returned on the touch-back twenty-five yards Into the I field.
