National Capital is, famous for broad
streets; hot weather, malaria, bad
cooking, public functionaries, and
newspaper reporters. These good
looking representatives of the two
great war powers Of Europe have
attracted much attention by their
handsome uniforms, and military at
titudes, to say nothing of the his.
torical and ancestral glamour that
invests them and consecrates their
names. We honor them on account
of their great grandfatLers, and
there is a real and genuine sponta-
neity in the welcome that is given
them, which, if they were anything
but the nineteenth century, cynical
boulevard Parisians, they would
feel. But the spirit Of '76 and Of
'93 does not live in the tiger and

Murder Trial in Wisoonsin.

The Hon. Emory Storrs of this
city has just won an important law
case at Neilsville, Wisconsin. 1t
was on the trial OF w. H. Cochran
for the murder of Judge Hayden at
Grand Rapids about one year ago.
The case may be briefly stated:
Cochran and Hayden were both
residents of Grand Rapids, and
both socially and politically some
what prominent. Cochran had a
pretty wife and was cashier of one
of the banks. Judge Hayden was
County Judge at one time, and was
the Greenback candidate for Attor-
ney- General in 1877. Hayden also
had wife and three children.
Cochran Intercepted some Of Hay
denis letters to his (Cochran's)
wife, which revealed the illicit re-
lationship. He naturally made a
row about Ii, and the scandal be-
came the talk of the town. Hay
den next bought an interest in u
local newspaper, and i'll its second
issue under it's management he VIC.
lently attacked Cochran on his
sorest spot Cochran loaded his
shotgun, and meeting Judge Hay
den the next evening, shot him
dead in broad day in the presence
| of dozen witnesses.
The village Of Grand Rapids il
just big enough to be wholly en-
| crossed with the details of such u
scandal, and everybody took sides
The murder was the issue in the
charter elections, and one of the
printing offices was burned by an
incendiary, AS was believed, as the
outgrowth of the quarrel.
The trial was removed to Neils-
vile on change of venue. Mr..
Storrs was engaged, with others, to
defend Cochran. There never was
such trial before in that portion
of the State. 1t contained all the
elements necessary 10 make 1t in
teresting. The fame of the bril-.
liant Chicago attorney had preceded
him; business was partially sus-
pended, and the Court House was
too small by half to hold the Gro wd
of curious spectators. The trial
lasted nearly week, and Storrs
was at his best. The sentiment of
the crowd was altogether with
Cochran, and that had its effect on
the twelve honest peers of his in
the jury-bOx. What cared they for
the law against premeditated MUIR
der in such cases? What cared they
that the murder was confessed by
Cochran, and was sworn to by u
dozen men who saw the bloody
deed done? Nothing; and the ver-
dict OF the jury was mot guilty."
Some idea of the prevalent feel
ing in the community may be
gained by the fact that after the
verdict of acquittal WAS rendered,
the solid men of Melville gave a
grand banquet in honor Of the
jury, the defendant and the couu-
sci for the defense, at which Mr..
Storrs said: "This great case
shows that the statute books and
legal opinions cannot triumph
over human nature.n
1t Is not stated that the Judge
who presided during the trial also
presided at the banquet given as a
testimonial to the brilliant oratory
of our esteemed fellow.citizen but
it is presumed that he did not. No
wonder that in the Good Book the
crimes of murder and adultery of.
ten stand side by side!-Chica0o
