Almena, Kas.—Nobodr knew what Karl what Karl Johnson. 17-year-old farmer boy was thinking about as he and his brother ranged the country far and wide night alter night, on the old farm horses that were their nearavailable approach to flrey bron-

chi s.

Nobody knew what Elmer Helserman. 16-year-old farm boy was thinking about as he trudged into the one picture show In the little country settlement of Almena when the evening chores were done. And now nobody knows, or can guess by the wildest effort of horrified Imagination, what Carl and Elmer were thinking about when, if Carl's confession to Norton County authorities is true Elmer offered him $200 to kill the whole Hels'rman family so Elmer could inherit the property and Carl undertook the Job and fired into 'he family group through a window as they sat together after supper, wounding the sister and aged grandmother. Carl will ride at night no more >r a while, for he is locked in a little square box of stone with iron bars at door and window, in the courthouse yard at Norton: and Elmer is out on $1000 bond, and goes no more to town unless his father Is at hit side. And next February Carl and Elmer will be tried for murder. It is a preposterous tragedy, an , Incredible actuality; a melodrama in the exaggerated terms of a boy's lohd fancy, in a setting of staid Kansas

cornfields.

Teh bare facts are these: On the evening of October 26. as Jacob Helserman. well-to-do farmer, living a mile and a half out of Almena. sat with his wife, her mother, Mrs. Julia E Sharp, aged 89. and the daughter. Faye. 21. in their lamp-lit sitting room, five shots were fired through the window from the darkness outside. Faye was struck twice and the grandmother once. A deputy sheriff, called by Helserman. met Carl coming out the cornfield. He confessed having done the shooting, and said Elmer hired him to do It. He was to have shot the other boy. Ord, when he cam*home that night. Elmer had said he must have money, and If his family were all dead he would get the estate. Car! told me the same story, in the lockup at Norton, standing first on one foot and then on the other like a small boy caught In mischief. He does not look his 17 years. Elmer will not talk to : nyone about the matter—not even to his father, Jacob Helserman told me, his ruddy face lined with trouble Friends of the Helserman’s refused to believe the boy guilty. In spite of coroborative evidence at the hearing Some of -.e circumstances were almost comic. The rifle, which Carl Elmer famished him, Iras a "22short," little better than a popgun. The wounds it made proved to be slight puncture:.. From the time when Carl claims the plot wsahadhetc hmrfdw cmfwy mfwy plot was hatched, in front of the glittering windows of the “Royal Cafe" In Almena—four tables and a nasal phonograph—until he was arrested in the comleld. was not more than threequarters of an hour. Only three-quarters of an hour! And >w there are iron bars between Cari and the country roads where he used to ridt the old farm horse at night And Elmer goes silently about his chores and never appears in the village without his father beside him. And both are still thinking the “long, long thoughts of youth." But nobody knowr what they are.
