HARRISON INSTITUTE.-There
seems to be misunderstanding
about the change of the name of the
Indian training school located at
Chemawa, four miles north of this
city, Chemawa is in one sense a
suburb to Salem. This training
school has been known at Washing
tOu as the "Salem Indian training
schOOlh and not the "Chemawa
Indian training school," A reporter
isinfOrmed by those in authority at
that place that all bills of laden,
invoices of good and official notices
are marked "Salem Indian training
school," This leaves Chemawa
untouched, as the school will yet
remain at Chemawa, and the post
office and village will still bear the
name, and Father j. L. Parrish will
STILL have the proud honor Of giving
to that place its name.

HE SMOKED CIGARETTES.
a Young Chicagoan Who Became Insane
While. on the Ocean.

CHICAGO, May 6.-The latest victim
or the deadly cigarette is Charles Mars
ton, son of Thomas Marston, jr., OF
the firm of Felix e MarSton, this city.
The young man became insane on the
Canadian Pacific steamer Empress OF
India when two days out from 1oko-
hama, Japan, en- route to Vancouver
the Pacific terminus of the Canadian
Pacific railway.
Before leaving Yokohama, MarSton
showed unmistakable signs of insanity,
the result of excessive cigarette
smoking, and when the party OF over
200 globe trotters arrived at Winnipeg
Manitoba, April 30, Marston's condition
was pitiful. His father, mother and a
brother, who were telegraphed for, met
him at Winnipeg, and brought him to
Oconomowoc, Wis, where he Is at pres
ent. Though his friends entertain but
little hope, it is thought that quiet
scenes may partially restore Marston TO
mental SoundneSS.

IT MIGHT BE MURDER.

speak from the point of reason.
Mr.. Bell can explain that. | -
Col. Arnett-Sit down, Mr.. Bell
Mr.. Howard appeal to reason that
a man who wants TO stay on a
jury aud persists in being on it, must
have some reason, and it is calculated to
raise a suspicion.
The Court said it was not right to
question Juror as to why he did not
plead his legal right. If he did not
plead his privilege, he was not to be
called in question.
To this, Mr.. Howard insisted that
the fact that Mr.. Bell elected to stay on
the jury when he might go, was calcu-
lated TO raise suspicion against his
motives. 1t was not right. He did not
say what he had from any desire to lee
ture the Juror, but it was manifeStly not
fair either to the State or to the pris-
oner, and If against the prisoner it
might amount to a judicial murder.
After some further discussion, Capt.
Dovener challenged the juror for cause
and asked to be heard.
The Court asked that the last queS-
tions be read, and when they had been
read, he said he thought it was improper
to question the witness as had been
done. after the questions put on Il pre-
vious day as to bias and prejudice.
Mr.. Bell then
A-r-rrr IN 1,I- ARD.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1891-05-08

had asked the Court to be excused, say
ing it would be impossible for him TO
serve. and the Court had granted the
request. When this case came up he
had been summoned, and he did not feel
at liberty to decline, as the Court had
always treated him in gentlemanly
manner. In reference TO tine Young
affair" Mr.. Bell said they were sitting
together and he had remarked he did
not see how some of the men sworn
could answer as they did. Mr.. Young
said: "Well, I've made up my mind:
I'd hang the --." Sensation.
Odd you express an opinion? A
None at all.
Can't. Dovener then went on to insist
on his challenge for cause, and was pro-
ceeding to discuss it when Col. Arnett
called him down, and there was war OF
words, which was shut off by the Court.
The discussion was again started in
order being inaugurated by Capt Dove
ner. continued for the defense by COL
Arnett in very earnest manner, nc re-
monstratng against the effort OF the
State to force a fair man off the jury,
and concluded by Mr.. Howard, who
pointed out that Mr.. Bell had talked
with Mr.. Young after he had been eau
toned not to so talk, and had defended
the prisoner. Further than tnat, Mr.
Bell knew that one side Of the case was
straining every nerve to keep him on
the Jury, and insisted that no human be-
ing could go into the box a fair man,
however honest he might be, under those
circumstances. Mr.. Howard explained
how the suspicious Of the State regard
Ing Mr. Bell had first been aroused, and
reviewed his close neighborship and
friendship for both the defendant ana
the deceased, said he read the papers
and had talked about the case, and yet
he had no opinion. That was suspl-
cious, but later it came out that this
Juror could plead exemption, and yet,
after doing it in a minor case, he does
not do it in this, because he Is under
obligations to the Court. Then, on top
of all that, a citizen comes and teSthes
to conversation in the Court room IN
which he defended and justified Dr..
Garrison. Here is man nearly seventy
wears of age. He will be taken away
from his home comforts and his bust
ness, which seems 10 Oe pIesslnS' no
knows he will be confined in the custody
of the Sheriff in long and tedious trial,
which nearly every man in the county
would avoid. What is the motive for
that, for no man does that without mo-
tive. If it is leniency to the defendant
1t is unfair TO the people who are
prosecuting this case, if for the State,
we are party to crime, and yet when
we raise this point, counsel for defense
claims the privilege of defending him
and devote a day to keeping him on the
Jury. We have exhausted every endeavor,
and must now make an open fight of it.
We have been driven into the position of
exhausting one of our challenges In
order to get rid Of this man."

A STATEMENT FROM MR.. BELL.

The Jury was here discharged until
$50 this morning, and then Mr.. Bell,
after privately demonstrating with the
counsel for the State, and being re-
ouested by those gentlemen to let the
Court hear what was said, Mr.. Bell then
addressed the Court, reiterating what he
had heretofore said, and in addition he
said he had no prejudice or feeling
in favor of DR.. Garrison, and had
not attempted to justify MIN
to Mr.. Young. He said Mr.. Young
astonished him by his exceedingly harsh
language, and he had demonstrated
with him, but nothing further. His liv-
ing close to DR.. Garrison was not
worthy of consideration, because he ola
not see him any more frequently per-
haps. than he did the Prosecuting At
torney He attended to his business
closely and sometimes for weeks ana
months he did not come down town. lie
did not relish being imputed a liar by
the Prosecuting Attorney or any one
else. He was an old man, not long for
this world, and he could not afford to
take any such position as was imputed
10 him. If he had done wrong, he was
willing to be punished, but he did
not relish being keel-hauled when
he had done nothing to mer-
it it. Mr.. Bell spoke very
earnestly, and concluded by saying he
did not want to serve on the jury; had
never desired to serve, but had done so
simply to accommodate the Court, and
he now pleaded age and desired to
withdraw.
The State expressed its willingness,
but the defense protested, and said that
once agreeing to serve, he could not now
plead age.
The State assumed the defense did not
seriously intend to insist on that, but it
was assured by the defense it was in
earnest, and the matter was set for ar
gument this morning.
While the examination into the Bell
matter was in progress, the Court room
was iammed with people to its capacity,
every available space being tightly
packed with interested men, and at
times there were many manifestations
of subdued excitement.
