Frederick I . Small charged with the
murder of his wile Morence Airlene

Body Found in Cellar.
Small's cottage at Mountain View
near here was burned on the night of
September JK Mrs. Small's body was
found in the cellar the tiesti morning
with a cord about the neika bulli't
wound over one eye and wounds on the
bead. Small was in Itoston when the
tire was discovered but immrdiatclv
returned.
The state anuses Small of having
drliberjtrly murdered his wife for the
primary purpose of collecting insurance
on her life. The Carroll county grand
jury has indicted him on five courts

20000 Insurance.'
F.ver since Small's arrest the author
ities have been at work gathering evi
dence to substantiate the charges made
against bint One of the first facts
brought to light was that a joint policy
on the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Small for
fJ).tH) had been issued by a llostnn
insurance company last January. It is
also said that in Small's bag. left in
the hotel room in Huston ouupied by
the accused nun the night of the al-
leged murder were found the insurance
patters tugrthiv with an itemized mem-
orandum showing the contents of the
cottage which also -bad been insured.
At (he prrlmuiary hearing one of the
village storekeepers of Mountainview
testified that on the day before the fire
he had delivered a considerable quan-
tity of kerosene at the cottage on
Small's order. The theory of the prose-
cution is that Small strangled and shot
Ins wife In death and then devised an
ingenious scheme by a lighted (tndle or
other method to set the cottage on (Ire
other after his departure. 1 he investi-
gatnrt tlaim to have discovered evi-
dence that the interior of the Cottage

W. D. Matthews commissioner vof
charities and corrections said this
morning that unless the legislature re-
fers a constitutional amendment to the
people reducing the site of the law-
making body he probably will initiate
himself an amendment providing for a
smaller legislature.
It is the greatest thing that can be
done for this state" said Mr. Matthew
in explaining his plan which provides
for a senate of seventeen members and
a house of forty-nine members. At
present there are fftrty-four members
of the senate and 112 member of the
house.
Various movements have been start-
rd to bring about a reduction in the
sij; of the legislature but they have
lead to nothing definite.
