TESTIFY FOR ROSENBLUTH
CEDAR RAPIDS, la., Aug. 19.—
Carl Schneider, a farmer living near
Montieello, la., yesterday afternoon
was served with a federal subpoena
to appear at Tacoma, October 15, to
testify for the defense in the trial
of Captain Robert Rosenbluth, in
connection with the slaying of Major
Alexander Cronkhite at Camp Lewis
in the fall of 1918. Schneider, who
is believed to have been the only
witness to the shooting, admitted
today that he saw the tragedy, but
denied that the shots were fired by
Rosenbluth ,although he was unable
to state who fired them.
Schneider declared that Rosen
bluth was standing close to h:m,
with his back to Cronkhite, at the
time the three shots were fired, and
did not have a firearm in his hand.
Schneider said he reached Cronk
hite’s side a few seconds after the
shooting, but that the dying man
made no statement.
The Iowa man said he did not
know Roland R. Pothier , accused
with Rosenbluth of the shooting, but
was positive no other person was
near Cronkhite.

MOTHER FINDS LOST SON
AFTER 25 YEARS ABSENCE
MANILA, Aug. 20.—A letter from
a mother in Danville, Ky., to the
Manila police department has been
the means of locating a long lost
son. Twenty-five years ago Frank
Sapp enlisted in the afmy and
came to the Philippines where he
served during the insurrection. At
the end of his enlistment he re
mained here, engaging in various oc
cupations.
In her letter to the police de
partment Mrs. Sapp wrote that her
son had never written home since
he entered in a volunteer regiment,
but that she heard indirectly that
he was in the Philippines in the
lumber business.
The coast guard steamer, Path
finder, which recently returned from
| an inspection trip to the Babuyan is
lands, brought the news that Frank
Sap.o, an American operated sawmill
on the Island of Camiguin in the
Babuyan group and that he had con
structed a number of rafts on which
I he transported the seventy-seven na- j
I tives from Babuyan Island and who
! were panic stricken by the active vol
' cano there, to Camiguin Island for
safety . Sapp gave employment to
i the natives in his sawmill.
On the next trip of the Pathfinder
to the Babuyans mails from Sapp's
mother will be sent to him. Mean
i while a letter from the police de-!
I partment is on its way to Mrs. Sapp,!
: telling her that her son has been lo-;
cated.
