Thursday. Hang GREENSBURG, ru., Jan. 11. Chas. E. Kruger, aged 24 years, who le to be hanged in Greensburg Jail next Thursday for the murder of a constable who was attempting his arrest, owns up to twelve murders and many other crimes. One of the mysteries cleared up by his confession is the murder of City Treasurer John Blevins of Newcastle, Pennsylvania, wnlch has baffled the police for five years. Kruger's first murder was committed when he was a boy of 14 years. Nearly all the murders were committed In order to get even with somebody. He threw a railroad detective under the wheels of a passenger train because the detective interfered with his stealing. He drowned a man In the river because the man had not given him what he thought a proper share of the proceeds of a robbery, and shot to deHth another man In order that there might le no witness to this murder. In many of his crimes he had accomplices, but he shields them. Kruger is a degenerate. He says himself he came from a family of criminals, and since he has made his confession his conversation In Jail Is divided between recitals of his crimes and curses upon his parents for bringing him Into the world. Owing to the knowledge the authorities hare that Kruger was the leader of a desperate gang of criminals, Greensburg Jail Is now a fortified camp. A force of riflemen is prepared to resist any attept to rescue the prisoner. There will be no relaxation of vigilance until the trap falls beneath Kruger on Thursday morning.

The re Washington, sponse of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah to the charge made against him was presented to the committee on privileges and elections today by Senator Burrows, chairman of that committee. The document was In printed form, and the members of the committee did not go through the formality of reading It during the session: it was agreed that at the regular meeting of the committee to be held Saturday next the attorneys for Mr. Smoot and for the petitioners should be heard. John G, Carlisle of New York, formerly secretary of the treasury, and R. W. Tayler, formerly a representative In congress from Ohio, will appear for the prosecution, while Mr. Smoot will be represented by Messrs. A. S. Worthington of Washington, D. C.; Waldemar Van Cott of Utah, and W. E. Borah of Idaho. The attorneys will be heard as to the merits of the case as already presented. They will be examined to show precedents and authorities and after they shall have made their presentation the committee will decide what to do further in the matter by calling witnesses or dispose of it on the showing which will then have been made. Senator Reed Smoot today submitted the following answer to the protests against retention of a seat in the United States senate: This respondent Is advised and avers that but two of the charges made against him In said protests, either directly or by implication, are such as. If true, could legally affect his right to held his seat In the senate. These two charges are: 1 That the respondent is a polygamist "2 That he Is bound by some oath or obligation which is Inconsistent with the oath required by the constitution, which was administered to him before he took his seat as senator. CHARGES ARE DENIED. Both these charges respondent de- nies. As to the charge that he is a polyg- amist the respondent says that he was married on the 17th day of September, 1884, to Alpha May Eldridge. She la still his wife and Is the mother of all his children. He has never had another wife and has never cohabited with any other woman. NOT BOUND BY SECRET OATH. As to the charge that the respondent is bound by some oath or obligation controlling his duty under his oath as senator the respondent says that he has never taken any such oath, or In any way assumed any such obligation. He holds himself bound to uphold and obey the constitution and laws of the United States, Including the condition in reference to polygamy upon which the state of Utah was admitted Into the Union. "The respondent now moves to strike out and eliminate, separately from said protest, each and every matter and thing therein contained, except the two charges above mentioned. While the respondent is advised and avers that the other matters referred to In said protests are such as cannot legally or properly be considered as affecting the right of the respondent to retain his seat in the senate, nevertheless the respondent now proceeds to answer the same submitting the question of the relevancy of the same, not waiving his said motion, but Insisting thereon. NO SELF PERPETUATING BODY The respondent denies that he is one of said alleged self perpetuating body of fifteen men, or that there is any such body of men; or that the followers or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints or any of them, accord the right to said alleged body to claim supreme authority, either divinely sanctioned or otherwise, to shape the belief or control the conduct of those under them In all or any matters, civil or temporal, and that said church or such alleged body claims or exercises any such alleged rights; or that said church or said alleged body of men, or either of them, unite either In one body or all of them the authority of church and state, or of the state, or that said church, or said alleged body or any person or body exercises any authority or power as to Inculcate or encourage a belief in the practice of polygamy or belief in or practice of polygamous cohabitation, or that either countenances or connives at any violation of the laws of the state of Utnh or of the United States, either regard purpose or otherwise, or at all, or of any covenants or covenant, or otherwise, either made with the people of the United States or any other person or body, or that said church, or any person or body, by all or any meant whatever, either protects or honora honors persons, or any person, who is or may be guilty of said alleged practices, or any practice, either destructive of the family or the home or otherwise. or that said alleged body, or any of them, violate any law of the land, or Is guilty of any of said alleged practices; and this respondent for himself In particular denies, that he la one of said alleged self perpetuating body of fifteen meu, or that there Is any such body, or that said church, or any part thereof, or any person therein, inclu-cator encourages a belief In the practice of polygamy or belief In or practice of polygamous cohabitation; and this respondent denies that he is guilty of polygamous cohabitation or that he is a polygamist, or that he has ever practiced polygamous cohabitaes tion. NEVER COUNTENANCED VIOLATION OF LAW. This respondent further denies that he has ever countenanced or connived at any violation of any law, either of the state of Utah or of the United 8tates, or that he has ever protected or honored any person or persons who may have violated the laws of the land. And this respondent denies that he Is guilty of any practices or any practice destructive either of the family or the home. On the contrary this respondent alleges that he honors and respects and obeys all the laws of the state of Utah and of the United States and has never been guilty of any offense against either. And this respondent further alleges that the president of said church and his two counselors constitute the first presidency and la the highest governing body of said church and the same has control of the spiritual and temporal affairs of said church, but not of the temporal affairs either of the state or any members of said church, but the next highest governing body In said church 1s the twelve apostles, consisting of twelve members of said church, who are under the direction of the presidency, and said apostles, on the dissolution of the first presidency for any reason whatever, then and not otherwise have authority equal to such first presidency. SANCTITY OF THE HOME. The charge that Mr. Smoot, from the high station of United States senator, would wage war upon the home is denied In strong terms. He agrees that the home Is the basic institution upon whose purity and perpetuity rests the very government itself and he alleges that he has as sacred regard for the station of senator sand for its duties as has any of the protestanta or the most loyal citizens. He admits that the enjoyment of the privileges of statehood must depend upon the observance of the sacred compact upon which statehood was secured, also that the rights theerby granted are not inalienable, but denied that he is or ever will be unfitted to make any law, SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS ELECTION. Concerning the political significance of his election as United States senator, Mr. Smoot says that in May, 1903, he announced he would be a candidate before the legislature to be next elected and that such declaration waa of his own Judgment Continuing, he says, that the Democratic papers In the state of Utah, opposing the candidacy of this respondent stated over and over again In prominent headlines and In strong editorials that a vote for the Republican ticket meant Just that much toward the selection of this respondent as the next Republican United States senator from the state of Utah; that the members of the legislature were nominated and elected on that issue and your respondent was the choice, by a large majority, of such legislature, as the Republican United States senator from the state of Utah, and most of the Gentile Republican legislators voted for this respondent for such office. At the time all of the Democratic Mormon legislators opposed his nomination to suuh office and voted for another candidate. eau uute, Provo and all points south and Tlntlc.lo? 1?fa.lt 8 Salt Lake and inter-mediate points 7 10 Salt Lake and inter- - ' mediate points 6:55 p. 8: 10 ' North of Ogdon No. 11 Cache Valley 7ms No. 7 Butte and Portland.lliss aim! iso. z No. 9 Pocatello, Montpelier and Butte 8outh of Ogdon 1:25 a. .
