NO DIVORCE, NO MURDER

The Conviction of an Accused Murderer
Depends on the Evidence of His Wife,
who. Unless Divorced Cannot Testify
Against Him.
DENVER, Col, Nov. 3O.-In the case of
William 7. Roberts VS.. Mary Roberts,
The court of appeals has decided that the
divorce granted by the lower court is
void. Roberts is under sentence of death
for the murder of Henry Kaippla. An
appeal for new trial is now pending in
the Supreme Court.
Mary Roberts, by this decision, is de-
clared the lawful wife of the condemned
man, and as such is not privileged to
testify against her husband. II was on
her evidence that Roberts was convicted
and aside frcm her testimony there was
no legal proof that Roberts committed
the deed.
The decision will have an important
bearing upon the appeal now pending in
the supreme court The probability is
that with Mrs. Roberts testimony
stricken from the records the charge of
murder cannot be proved.

LONDON, Nov. SO.-The statement in

For eight years he lived with Joseph

y workingman Who Objects to Forced
Holidays for Pure Political Effect
"a Workingman" signs communica-
ton in last nights Moline Republican,
Journal. in which he makes the following
pointed remarks on the matter of forced
holidays in shutting down the factories
and giving the men to understand that
heir presence in the psrades is expected:
As worklngmen whose wages. in
common with a great many others in Nc
line. do not admit of my taking any I'M
necessary holidays, l want TO protest
against the closing down of some of our
largest factories on account of the Flfer
parade. Many of US cannot afford to
lose days wages. A great many of rs
are not republicans, and have no personal
interest in the demonstration, and even
many of those VINO are do lot see why
they should be compelled to lose their
time on a day which Is not legal holi-

jobs. This thing don't look right TO me.
and have heard good many others say
the same thing.
But there is another reason and that is
this: All the speakers who are at Rock
Island today will be in Moline tonight.
and there could be no excuse made that
the men could not get chance to see
and hear them. because they will be
right here in our own town. 1t seems to
me to be simply means to find out how
the men stand politically, to go around.

INV Husband Saws"

Leigh Hunt says, "A wise man quotes
bravely. However that may be, women
wise and otherwise have always intrenched
themselves behind certain conversational
defenses. Behind that innocent little
phrase, My husband says" turks vast
amount of feminine picturesQueness. What
establishment, not unmixed with dismay
would fill the soul of the good man if he
could hear the extraordinary statements
his wife puts in his lipsl For instance she
tells her friends very earnestly that her
husband says he prefers sleeves that are
shirred diagonally and then embroidered,
rather than those that are embroidered
and then gathered into plain cuff. That
is the reason the pretty little speaker gives
for the fashion of her own garment
The truth is that her husband does not
know what shirring means. Men with an
almost morbid horror of personalities are
reported warning their wives against
certain people. When a drive is proposed
distasteful to the young wife she almost
automatically declares that her husband
says he is afraid to have her get into a car
riage. You cannot carry on a conversation
of five minutes length with some people
without the introduction of this phrase,
either as an excuse or an argument.
There is no voluntary falsehood about
the matter whatever 1t is plainly n habit
praiseworthy from some points of view.
Who does not admire the wives who, since
the days of Elizabeth and her Zachariah,
have interpreted dumb husbands? They
may be welded unto clowns, but into the
lips of these same clowns they put their
own nobility of thought and speech
