Resolution In tlio Senate.
Washington. April 9. Senator
Turpie's speech on Cuba was tho eyent
of the day in the Senate and in ninny
respects it was the most picturesque
and vehement utterance heard on the
subject. While arguing for radical
action even to the extent of sending
a fleet to Cuban waters' much of Mr
Turpio's speech was given to sarcasm
and ridicule of the course ot Mr. Sher-
man and Mr. Lodge in managing the
Cuban resolutions. The Senator cre-
atoit much amusement by his Kr-
trayal of Senator Lodge as a warrior
about to fight a duel with Minister
Dnpijy De Lome of Spain. Most of
the day was given to the Indian ap-
propriation bill which was not com-
pleted. Unanimous consent was se-
cured for taking up the resolution for
a Senate inquiry into tho recent bond
issuos no.t Tuesday.

Hud Keen Dona.
Lbavkn'woiith Kan. April 9. Tho
foul murdor of J. T. Lain born at his
homo near Fall Loaf this county is
no longer shrouded in mystery. Every
detail lias been laid bare in u written
confession by botli tlio son and daugh-
ter of the murdered mnn who wore
placed In jail hero Tuesday night
together with Thomas Davenport a
lover of the young Lamborn girl who
wan jailed at the same time on a sim-
ilar charge.
Smarting under the horror and dis
graco of dingy prison bars and har-
rassetl by the belief that one would
"peach" on the other both the boy
and tho girl made written statements
which verify one anothor.
Calmly and deliberatoly they wrote
of a prearranged plan to put thoir
ngod father out of the way and
Thomas Davenport the lover of tho
girl was chosen to do the awful deed.
.Charles Lamborn tho son of the
murdered man is about 22 years of
age and Annie Lamborn the daugh-
ter who bore such an active part in
this awful tragedy is about 21 yenrs
old. She is of frail physique not
weighing-more than ninety pounds.
Not all the details of the crime
could bo learned but tho following
facts from the confessions have been
made known. They stamp the crime
as one of the foulest imaginable. Ac-
cording to these confessions aftor
matin e deliberation on tho part of
Charles Lamborn Annie Lamborn
and Thomas Davenport the night of
February 10 last was c.iosen as the
time that old man Lamborn was to
be killed. The Lamborn house which
is in a socludcd place fronts
north on the public road while
there is another road running
oast and west about one-half a mile
north of the Lamborn residonce.
Near this east and west road the
young Lamborn girl and Dnvenport
had a trystmg place as old man Lam-
born did not allow young Davenport
to visit his house or to lceep company
with Ills daughter. Here at this tryst-
ing place on tho evening of February
10 lhar'es and Annie Lamborn met
Davenport as the three were going to
a dance. The brother and sister told
Davenport that their father was all
alone and it wns agreed Unit the two
should remain there while Davenport
should go to the house and commit
the murder.
The plan was executed. Davenport
rode his horse around to Lamboru's
hitched in front of the. houso on the
public thoroughfare hecured an ax
gained entrance to tlio house by repre-
senting himself to be Charles Lam-
born and without delay proceeded.
with the murderous ax to ohop his
helpless victim to pieces.
Quickly mounting his horse he re-
pot ted tho fiendish set to the waiting
bon and daughter of the victim and
then accompanied by Charlea Lam-
boru Davenport returned to the Lam-
born house where they found and
burned a will that had been made by
the murdered man.
Accomplishing tliU the two men re-
turned to where they had left Annie
Lamborn and telling her of wiiat had
been done the three proceeded to the
dance anil enjoyed themselves as
much apparently as any of the other
gtiesto.
How they returned from tho danoo
went to bed in the house where their
murdered father lay and did not 'dis-
cover" the remains ot tiieir fattier un-
til late the next morning has already
been told.
The arrest of the two Lamborns
and Davenport was brought about by
the young Lamborn girl confiding the
secret of the murder to u woman in
Lawrence who often visited at the
La inborn house as she was a bor-
rower of inouey from old man Lam-
born. Annie Lam horn's love for Daven-
port it seems faded away in coutom-
ilatlag the awful crime to which she
lad beeu an accessory. Her horror
stricken soul needed solace and
she confided her terrible secret to this
woman friend under a promise of
secrecy soon after the er'me was
com tin tied Fntil very recentlj' how-
aver this woman kept her own coun-
sel under the belief that the guilty
parties if known would be hanged
for the crime. Learning later that
there is no capital punishment in Kan-
sas she made a confidante in turn of
Mrs. Charles Shaoit'er who is living
temporarily at Kansas City. Mrs.
Shaeifer told her husband and it was
ha wlio went to Fall Leaf arrosted
the murderers and placet! them in jail

Madiiid April 9. The students
and members of the National party
horo are reported to be organising
demonstrations against the United
State ' view of the recent rote in
Cons. 'on the question of Cuban
bolligtTncy. The chiefs of the va-
rious sections of the Republican party
planned to hold a meeting here
in order to make arrangements
for a big demonstration to protest
against the Cuban voto of the United
States Congress which the Repub-
licans consider to bo contrary to in-
ternational law. It is believed how-
over that the government will forbid
tho holding of a public meeting in
which case the Republicans will as-
semble in private. Precautious have
boon taken to prevent manifestations
at tho opening of the university of
tlio faculty of medicine. Thus far
tho students have been orderly.
Tho Spanish newspapers especially
the Republican and the dissentient
conservatives express mournful regret
that the various Spanish govern-
ments have not thoinsclvos understood
tho expediency of putting into force
at the very beginning of the present
insurrection the home rule bill and
the tariff reforms voted by the party
last year and which they will now
have to carry out awkwardly under
pressure of oircumstancos and for-
eign mediation.
