WALKERTON INDEPENDENT WALKERTON, . . . INDIANA VICTIM OF “JUSTICE.” mam in prison for a murder NEVER COMMITTED. Ulood Damage In Pennsylvania lias Been Overestimated — Bi-Metallic Delegates in Session—Lively Primaries In California—Judge Jenkins* Action Not Sustained. A STORY which shows the unreliability of circumstantial evidence, when it is the sole proof if crime, came to light a’. Muncie Tuesday. An an giving the name of John ( row, supposed to have been murdered nine years ago near Big Rapids, Mich., by his brother-in-law, John \ anneman, left for the Michigan State prison at Ja< k on to obtain tne release of \ anneman, who is now serving a life term there for the supposed murder. The facts in the case, as tol I by Crow in the depot while he was awaiting the train fox* Jackson, are as follow: “I am going to free a man who has been in

the penitentiary nine yearn and is him - <»nt. lam supposed to be dead. In OJ’OM of tho lIiVV l WJA - Ilill!*u6i*o<l nil o years ago this month near Big 1 a ids, Mich., and now a man named John Varmeman, my broth •r-in-’aw, is serving a life sentence in ihe Michigan s tate penitentiary for the »upp» sed t c ime. Since that time I have not been ' aware that anything was wring until j a few days ago, when I picked up a Be- | tr< it paper and read an article about ; an attempt being made to secure the pardon of John Vannemann, who is in the penitentiary on the charge of mur- 1 dering me. I have been wi rking in the Northwest and West ever since F | left Michigan.” Crow’s story is confirmed by the Jackson prison officials. Rivers Now Receding. As near as can be estimated the loss by the flood in the Conemaugh Valley will be sll’s,(XX’. The Pennsylva ia Bailroad's loss is $50,(00. The Hoods between Johnstown and (onemaugh are rapidly subsiding. Bridge No. 2, reported washed away, is intact. Trains continue to run byway of Hunting lon branch, the Baltimore and <)hio Railway, an l the Southwest Pennsylvania. Around Williamsport tbe

Waters are slowly receding, it is now believe 1 that the worst is over and that no further damage will result from the flood, though it wi 1 be many days before th* Susquehanna River will fall to its normal condition.

But a letter has been received in Washington from a citizen of Chicago, who gives his name and address, making a serious charge against one of the leading packing houses, and on the strength of this letter and other evidence that lias come to his notice. Secretary Morton has ordered Dr. W. S. Devoe. Special Inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry, to make a thorough investigation. The sub-committee of the Senate
