MARiLLA A.:PEAsR
By the Examining Mag
1OtrAto.

After full and thorough investigation Of
the charge of murder BY poison the case
ends by . release from custody. Yesterday
the taking of evidence in this case was re-
sumed on the part of the prosecution and
the evidence taken was about the same char
acter and relating to the same points drawn
out on the first day of trial. No evidence
was offered BY the defense after the state
closed and the state and defense went into
the argument of the case, the first knowing
they had produced all the evidence obtain
able and the latter relying on its insufficient
cy to raise the presumption of guilt.
The arguments on both sides were logical,
forcible and lucid. The defense was ably
conducted throughout and all possible
points were elucidated by the cross examin-
alton. The prosecution was untiring in
bringing large array of witnesses to prove
everything at all bearing on the case. The
worst evidence produced by the prosecution
was that of John T. Brickel, which in the
manner ofits delivery was the most essential
evidence adduced. He WAS the boy en-
ployed in the house, aged fifteen years, and
his evidence showed that Mr.. Pease got up
and coughed and that Mrs. Pease got up
also and asked him if she should build fire
and produce q smoke for him to inhale.
This the boy heard him decline and ask for
whisky. His testimony also showed that
Mrs. Pease was in the habit of getting up
and administering to him when he was sick
and that she was always ready to help him
when sick. 1t was the prevailing opinion
Of bystanders that this boys testimony
which was in its very nature thruthful and
convincing, was the turning point in the
case
Justice Thomas apparently took the same
view of the matter and in rendering his de-
cision based his judgment on the improba-
bility Of the defendant proposing remedy
that had no harm in it when she intended TO
administer poison; and that when she gave
him the poison it was at his request for
whisky. The opinion is divided as to the
actual guilt or innocence of the defendant,
but all concur in saying that the decision
was just one under the law. The trial
throughout excited the interest of large
number Of citizens both in the city and from
the vicinity of the neighborhood in which it
occurred.

tell Il, for the slight showsrs We have. kssps

the work at the Institute.
Yesterday We had ten additions, making
our number 157, with more to come, 70 that
it can be seen that We are getting to b quite
respectable, Is far Is numbers 60.
The irst thing in the morning Is arith-
metic. Addition was illustrated BY Mr..
Fitzpatrick in various ways, and . number
of new ideas were brought out Almost
anyone can add, but to teach Others il .
different thing.
In Mr.. jays class in physiology they had
the 'bones" for . subject II was rather .
dry one but it was we'll handled, and the
larger number answered very promptly.
The Misses Hays and vanhorn, also Messrs.
Lear and Alexander gave their answers
clearly and distinctly.
In the classes in constitution they had Q
very interesting time telling how and why
the constitution was formed, also the de-
fects of the articles Of confederation, then the
formation of the lower houses Of congress,
Mr.. Van Sender, giving the manner Of fixing
the numbe. of representatives from each
state, also the qualifications of the repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Barwise and Mr.. Bowen
gave some ideas on the subject It was
brought out that q foreigner can vote in
Kansas after six months residence, although
he must live four year, and six months
longer before he can be naturalized. Who
says Kansas is not free state, and can do as
they please.
Grammar was confined TO letter writing.
As to the best way to head . letter and
finish il, it was decided to be simply mat
ter of taste, so that il person writes . good.
plain hand be can write letter that will
answer the purpose, although it may not be
handsome.
In Mr.. Fitzpatrick's class in history, the
Indian troubles were discussed BY the class,
also the settlement of the first French, Span
ish and English colonies.
Miss Hays and Mr.. Crumb, - we'll - .
number of other ladies and gentlemen, are
taking part and giving some information
that is benefit TO others.
In the class in didactics that old subject
Of rules and programmes came up and the
members of the class were like the army
that marched up the hill and then marched
down again. A programme was begun, but
after it is finished those that proposed it
will come up and help tear it 10 pieces. for
teachers cannot agree on tho question of
programmes and rules.
In Mr.. Fences room the class in book
keeping had various transactions TO copy and
put into the day book. There are . large
number here that have never had anything
to do with bookkeeping, and think their
time will be fully occupied. - well - some
in natural philosophy that have never
studied it, if they expect TO make success
of it.
noticed one thing that must be very
annoying to the instructors; that Is . ten
dency on the part of some to leave the

annoying to others.

A sLEDeE HAMMER KNOCKS HIM OUT


AT one of the popular parks in the city
last Sunday fight Of more than usual con
sequence occurred, and one from which seri-
Gus results may be looked for from the fact
that sledge hammer was the weapon used
by the assailant. 1t has always been known
that hard headed men lived in Kansas. They
have been looked for among the Flat-hesd
tribe, but it now appears that he has been in
Wichita all the time. Scott. the gardner,
exercised himself at one of the city parks
last Sunday by hitting Ed. Hassig on the
head, shoulders and neck with sledge
hammer. 1t is said that he knocked him
down but that is quite doubtful, tine hard
headed man il he was worth cent he could
stand sledge hammer. So he stood tie
practice with some little repairs Of physi-
clans and surgeons and is now convalescent.
We understand that he only charges Scott,
$50 for rne damage, which in the ordinary
is cheap as dirt and hadn't ought to be dis
puted. When prices settle on $50 As the
standard price of sledge hammer practice. .
whole brigade of athletes will enter the
ring with those implements, and the park
that catches on and makes . corner on the
racket will supercede the base ball games
and bankrupt Riverside.
