Dressed Reer Nomsa.ttee

CHICAGO, Sept. "A good part of
the morning session Of the dressed
beef investigating committee was de-
voted to waiting for Witnesses.
None of the millionaire packers, who
had been summoned, put in an appear
ance.
J.B. Sherman president of the stock
yards company appeared and gave
testimony. He was the only witness
of Importance.
At the afternoon meeting Chairman
Vest in discussing the absence of Mr..
Armour and other gentlemen said he
was sorry that number OF persons,
including the heads of several of the
prominent dressed beef firms. had re-
fused to attend the sessions of the
committee and had paid 40 attention
to its Subpoenas. DIR. Vest said there
was no doubt about the power of the
commission to compel the attendance
of persons summoned before it as
witnesses and read the statutory clause
providing penalties for witnesses fall
ing to appear before committees OF
either house of congress. The law
provides for both fine and impriS0n-
ment in such cases as these.7 Mr. Vest
continuing said that although they
could compel their attendance, they
could not compel unwilling witnesses
to testify to all they knew, and he
feared that if they had these parties
brought before them now they would
find themselves in the same predica-
ment they were in in the start AL

Pardo.ed By the Governor

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 4.-Governor
Humphrey pardoned Mrs. Henrietta
Cook of Osborn county, who has been
confined IN the penitentiary for thir-
teen years for the murder of her hus-
band. Mr.. Cook was subject to epilep-
tic fits and one night he died. Evil
dences of arsenical poisoning were
found and the jury decided that Mrs.
Cook had administered the poison. 1t
transpires now that Mr.. Cook was in
the habit of taking arsenic on his own
account. The investigation of the
case convinced Governor Humphrey
THAT Mrs. Cook was innocent and to-
pardon.

to the tragedy at Lathr0p last month.
he said: ssDeputy Marshal Narla and
myself entered the dining room 81 Rs
throp for breakfast, ard soon AFTER tax
ing our seats Judge Terry and his wife
who were on the train. also entered
the room, and as they passed down the
aisle Mrs. Terry glanced at me for
moment, then turned about and left
ths room. Judge Terry seated him
self, but arose Immediately and came
toward me. Before realizing what he
intended to do, / felt powerful blow
on the cheek. turned around and
saw Terr,ys giant form towering over
me. with his clinched fist appraised. I
then heard Maggie say, stop that. / am
an oficerl'' / then heard two pistol
shots in quick succession and saw
Terry fall to the floor. I was dazed
for moment but soon realized that
Terry had received q death wound and
arose and left the room.
Justice Field, in response to cues
tions. expressed an opinion that If Ma
gle had not shot Terry that he Field
would have been dead within the next
FIVE seconds. He said the expression
of Terry's face when he raised his
hand to strike a second time could not
be mistaken. 1t was full of malice
and murder. Justice Field declared
he had never had any difficulty with
Terry of any nature whatever prior to
the rendering OF the judgment in the
Sharon case a year ago. In fact
they had always been on the most
friendly terms. Terry had often
tried cases before him and on entering
court had always spoke to him pleas
antly.
During the last year or two, how
ever, he seemed entirely changed and
/ to have lost the respect which he
formerly had for the courts. Justice
Field added that the story of his ask
ing Terry to support him for president
several years ago was pure fabrication;
as he left the witness stand the Justice
remarked he was sorry there was no
one on the other side to cross examine
him. Thecase will probably be con-
Guided tomorrow when Nagle himself
viii be examined.
