Wm F. Jahns alias Jas. A. Logan, the man convicted of murdering his house keeper and burning her body in a fire in the woods near Colville is preparing an appeal for a new trail. Jahns says Mrs. Janson the supposed defunct house keeper is alive and that he will produce her. He claims she left his home as per schedule and that she left so much truck behind, that in preparing it for shipment to her he became disgusted and burned part of it. Mrs. Janson's husband was a doctor he claims and she had an old skeleton of his which furnished the bones found in the fire. The other refuse came from old corsets and other belongings of Mrs. Janson's which he burned to get rid of them. The story is plausible and the old man may be innocent but the prospects are not the best. *
