An Old Lawyer Deliberately Attempts to
Ruin q Young One,

An Old Lawyer Deliberately Attempts to
Ruin Young One.
WAvERLY, Ia, December 3I.-The coro-
ner's Jury has brought in verdict against
Edward Billings Of murder in the first de-
gree for shooting w. s. Kingsley. This
case is one OF the most sensational and has
more peculiar features in il than any which
has developed in the State OF Iowa. Bill
lings, man of fortv-five years of age, was
a respected lawyer of Waverly. His wife
was a woman OF fine figure and with many
charms of feature and manners, but good
deal younger than her husband. Will
Kingsley was but twenty-five years OF age,
but brilliant to degree, law graduate
and so well read and popular that he was
easily successful ir being elected county
attorney.
The two men a. one time had an Office
together ID business relations with each
other. o day, two weeks ago, Billings
called ct lingsley's Office. Suddenly the
passers-by were startled by the report Of
pistol shots, and Billings came running
down the stairs, crying out that Kingsley
had shot himself. Citizens ran up stairs,
and, entering KiDgsley's office, found him
lying dead on the floor with bullet in his
brain. Billings claimed that the dead man
had shot himself.
Months previous to this Billings had had
charging him with seduction, it being sworn
to by a girl in poor circumstances.
She afterwards confessed that the
charge was not true, and that
Billings had induced her to swear TO the
warrant. From the testimony adduced
at the inquest on Kingsley it developed
that Billings had set about effecting the
ruin of Kingsley in the most systematic
manner. he had forged his own wife's
name 10 notes directed to the lawyer, the
contents Of the notes being full of loving
terms, and asking Kingsley to meet her at
her own house while Billings was away.
Kingsley replied in good faith, declining
to make the assignation and warning the
supposed female writer to desist from her
course. OF course the reply fell into the
hands of Billings. The latter even went
so far as to prepare notes of hand, filed
out, conveying all Kingsley's property to
himself.
1t is believed that on the day of the
shooting, Billings went to Kingsley's Office
to try by blackmail to get him to put his
signature to the notes. The evidence as to
the blackmail and forgeries was direct, but
there was no witness to the shooting, and
that part will have to be prq1en by circum-
stantial evidence.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
Reports of Defective Steel for the Charles
ton-Danish POrk-ReSenue.

Reports of Defective Steel for the Charles
ton-Danish POrk-ReSenue.
WASHINGTON, December 31.-Naval cir
cles have been thrown into state of con-
sternation by recent reports from Califor-
MIA relative to the discovery OF grave de-
fects in the steel intended TO be used in
the construction of the cruiser Charleston,
row being built in that State. While an
attempt was being made recently to bend
slightly the heav y eight-inch steel deck
beams, several of them snapped in pieces
under the strain of hydraulic JACK, TO the
great establishment of the construction OIL
GERS. The steel was from the East, and
had been thoroughly tested according to
the severe requirements of the steel board,
standing successfully all of the tests as to
tension, elongation, elasticity, etc. Much
of this steel has already been used in the
construction of the other cruisers and gun
boats now building, and the alarming
feature of the accident at the California
ship-yard is that ii casts grave doubt
upon the strength of the material that has
already been built into ships, and may
fail unex pectedly at critical moment.
Owing to the prevalence OF q disease OF
an epidemic character, which has attacked
hogs In Denmark, the Government of Nor
way and Sweden has established a quarau-
tine against the importation OF Danish hog
products. Inc treasury department mas
been informed that being thus deprived OF
their principal market, Danish hog raisers
will endeavor to find a market in the
United States, and the department has
taken steps to prevent the importation OF
diseased polk from Denmark.
The receipts of the Government from all
sources during the present month were
$29, 1916, 2S5, and the expenditures $40, AGO.
6S2, leaving net gain of receipts over ex'
penditures of SIS, 924 COB. Out of this net
gain, however, must be paid about S.. 500,'
900 for interest upon the public debt
which will leave the actual surplus fol-
December $15, 425, 603. The public deb
was also reduced during the month to the
amount of SIS, $50, 600, For the entire
calendar year of 1887 the debt was dimin

warmed at his lone. campfire, to heal his
bruises, sprains and aches. Tracing this
down to what science now compounds,
missing link might be discovered between
the unguents of the dim past and the
greatest remedy for pain of the present
day. AS an illustration of what this
latter can accomplish and what its name
implies, Mr.. E. Moser, Shoals, Ind, May
19, 1887, writes: "About eight years ago
used St Jacobs Oil for chronic rheu-
matism in hip and back, and found il
cured where all else had failed. Three
weeks use was enough. 1t has never
bothered me since" Mr.. Horace E Hop
kins, New Albany Ind, June 10, 1887,
writes In like manner: "St. Jacobs OIL"
he says, "after being applied two years ago
for acute pains in the back, one hour after
the first application gave me great relief
By morning the pains had entirely gone,
and since then have never had a recur-
renee of the pain" Mr.. J. F. Hone,
Bingen, Ind, June, 1887, in the same vein,
writes as follows: ITO everybody suffering
with rheumatism, bachache, sprains, &c,
/ am glad to recommend st. Jacobs Oil.
There is no remedy that will give relief
and reduce pain better than it does.
Everybody ought to have it in the house.
would not be without it. 1 suffered
with all these complaints and it cured me
every time, therefore, I gladly recommend
it" Mr. D. B. Eberly, Pine Village, Ind,
Sept. z, 1886, writes: II suffered with
rheumatism for five years; my leg was
swollen so that lost the use Of it and had
to use crutches. i used st. Jacobs Oil,
and before l used bottle felt the best
results. After the second bottle 1 did
away with the crutches and have never
had to use them since" Mr.. B. NJ
Holman, manager Fort Wayne Ind,
Gazette, Feb. 20, 1886, put it thus most
felicitOusly: II stepped through a cattle
guard on the railroad and sprained my
ankle. / invested forty cents in cane
and fifty cents in bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil; the latter was the best investment
The sprain is gone, the cane thrown away
and / have half bottle for the next
sprain that comes along" Mr.. J. Hoff-
stadt, 222 E Main Street, Madison, Ind,
Nov. 1, 1867 cheerfully recommend
St Jacobs Oil 1t cured me of rheuma-
tism and innumerable aches and palms."
In centuries to come, should gifted writer

fail to take note in treating upon some of
the marvels of the present era of what
has wrought so magically for the people
In producing their happiness and comfort.
