Webb, counsel for Poole, contendsd that
the charges were founded upon the merest
suspicion, and that suspicious acts only

DR.. Webb mads an able argument in the
defence Of Poole. He maintained the
Government had wholly f4iled to prove Its
case. He admitted that Poole was q men,

He had moreover incurred their enmity.
He claimed Kennedy was shot in mistake
for Poole. Hershel. Q. u, closing the
case for the prosecution ridiculed the
theory OF the defense as wild and in.

Justice Murphy in summing up the case
expressed the opinion that Kennedy WAS
not murdered Ia mistake. he said the fact
that Poole told L1mis how Kennedy was
killed and that the daggers used in the
murder were no good, that they might
have been chisels, was borne out by tue
appearance Of the wounds upon the body
Of Kennedy, II was evident, said the JUS

he asked the jury, even Il they put the

livery OF the Justices charge Poole jumped
up and accused the Justice Of acting the

about an hour the jafy announced that 1t

WASHINGTON, November l3.-Within q
few days legal steps will be taken against
a firm OF Easlishmen, Nelson & Hughes,
who have been in a-conspiracy to OBJ
tain large tracts Of Government land
near Bismarck, Dakota. Their scheme
has been to hire men to gettleupon quarter

and then for one dollar and twenty-five
cents an acre paid the Government obtain
a full title. In this way the ownership OF
several thousand acres has been acquired.
The witnesses TO this plot arc at hand in
the persons OF some ot the men who were
thus employed to make fictitious settle
ments, and the Land 0lice expects to
make an example which will Lave an ef.
feet upon this fraudulent taking up OF
Government land.
It is going on In all The Territories, bu.
more particularly in Dakota. In many
Cases these operations arc conducted with
the conniyancs Of ofg9vernment officers. So

to change the presumption land law, go
that an actual settlement Of two
