Not Take Place.
LONDON, June 1.-THE conference Of
Irish members of parliament was re-

not Be Prosecuted.
HELENA, Mon, June 12.-[Special. /
After carefully hunting over the statutes
the county attorney finds no Jaw to pros
ecute Key Rossman, the youne Dane who
gave himself up Saturday night and con-
fessed the dynamite explosion at the
Montana National bank. His own con-
fession shows that burglary was not in
tended. The only law in any wise appli-
cable is thatsgainst malicious destruction
of property.
In his confession, which is the only
evidence there is, Rossman says he had
no malice towards the bank or officials,
but was only hungry and desperate. The
county attorney says Rossman cannot be
punished but will try him for insanity.
The reward, which he says induced him
to give himself up, will not go to Ross
man, nor anyone.
