ALLEGED TO Be DYING.
Appeal for a New Trial for J. D.
Smith.
Another Chapter in the Robert Allen
Tragedy-Attorney Burners
Argument.

Alvin j. Bruner, counsel for J. D.
Smith, convicted of completely in the
murder of Robert Allen three years ago,
yesterday made his argument before the
Supreme Court on appeal from the de-
cision of the Superior Court denying the
motion for new trial.
The chief point on which the appeal is
based is the fact that Smith was con-
victed on the evidence of Gordon. one OF
the trio who made the assault on Allen,
and who saved his own neck from the
gallows by turning States evidence.
Mr.. Bruner made long and able argu-
ment in behalf of his client, during
which he quoted Section of the Penal
Code, which provides that "a conviction
cannot be had on the testimony of an
accomplice, unless he is corroborated by
other evidence which, in itself and Vtth-
out the aid Of the testimony of the accom-
plice, tends to connect the defendant
with the commission of the otfense; and
the corroboration is not sufficient if it
merely shows the commission OF the
o1fenSe or the circumstances thereof"
Counsel argued that there was nothing
shown tending to connect Smith with
the commission of the crime, other than
the bare contradictory statement of Cor
don, that he overheard a conversation be-
tween Smith and Haley on the Thursday
night prior to the murder.
He reviewed the chief points of the evil
dence to show that Gordon could not
have overheard the alleged conversation
between Smith and Haley in which it
was claimed that the job to rob Allen was
put up"
''If ever there was case" said the at
hn oil or -
should be enforced, this is one. For the
accomplices, Gordon and Casey, were
saving their lives by duplicating an in
nocent man. Casey confessed first, and
was not prosecuted. Gordon next agreed
to confess, and, although the principal
actor in horrible murder, was allowed
to plead guilty to murder in the second
degree. A victim had to be obtained, and
Smith was selected
Counsel said that there were two other
murder cases pending at the time Smith
was tried, and public opinion was such
that Smith was convicted more to an
pease the wrath of the people than on
legitimate evidence produced at the trial
He asked the court to render its decision
as soon as possible, because of the fact
that Smith would die if longer confined
in the County Jail. He read the certiti-
cate OF DIR. Atkinson, that Smith was suf-
ferlng from complication Of diseases
and that, because of the noises in the
prison and for the lack of care he could
not we'll obtain in prison, he could not
live two weeks longer.
The people were represented before the
court by Deputy Attorney General Chas.
II. Jackson, who briefly reviewed the
| circumstances of Smiths trial and held
! that the proceedings were correct and
that the prisoners conviction was justi-
fed by the evidence.

BEAT THE GAMES.
The Police Court Gathers In 500
From Faro and Crap Games.

The Police Court Gathers In 500
From Faro and Crap Games.
The Police Court was quite crowded
yesterday, and the session proved one of
the most profitable, from a financial
standpoint, of any for long time.
The respectable sum of 800 was col
lected in forfeited bonds and fines from
the sporting fraternity arrested on the
preceding night.
Alex. Mcclure and c. F. Patrick, faro
dealers, forfeited deposit of Sl0O each by
| not appearing to answer the charge OF
gaming preferred against them.
The other speedy gentlemen arraigned
for gaming were John Coleman, Charles
Messenger, A. j. Perkins, Phil. Ambrose
and w. A. Barein, all of whom conducted
either crap or hokey-pokey games in
various saloons and hotels.
All OF them pleaded guilty without
much hesitation, and were each fined in
the sum of 500. AS they had furnished
that amount in cash bail, the CITY took i'm
money enough to buy horse for the pa
troll wagon and maintain it for some time,
if the thrifty Trustees choose to be up to
date and do it.
In the rush of business in the court
John Doe showed up for being drunk and
was discharged.
j. I. Cox, arraigned for battery upon n
woman at Fourth and NJ streets, pleaded
not guilty. and made an earnest appeal
for leniency. Cox wore a bald head and
other evidences OF distinction, and pro-
| tested that he was above striking a
woman, and never did it. Moreover, he
said Mr.. Taylor was waiting for him to
take charge of a fractions horse that could
not be managed by everyone.
As the prosecuting witness did not ap-
appear, and Taylor did and vouched for
Cox. he was discharged.
William Lavelle, arrested for battery,
was discharged upon the acknowledge
ment of satisfaction by the complaining
witness in the case.

a MILD REDUCTION
All That Is Expected of the Ne1
Tariff Bill.

ALI That Is Expected of the New
Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-There is a
growing impression among those who
have talked with majority members of
the committee on ways and means, who
are preparing tariff bill, that this bill,
when it is reported, will not present
such radical reduction as was prom
ised some time ago. Just what led to
this is not clear, except that the deficit
in the treasury makes it important that
the reductions OF the duty shall not be
so radical as to impair the revenue
raising qualities of the measure,
There have been numerous expedients
talked of to raise sufficient revenue,
chiefly those relating to an increase of
internal taxation. 1t has been init
mated that these suggestions have been
given out with the idea Of testing the
feeling of the people upon them, and to
see if they will be too much of burden
upon those who will have to bear them.
There has been a lull In the talk
of the income tax during the week,
but it is evident that those who
favor it have not been idle.
Mr.. Bryan. of Nebraska. member of
the committee, says that he is devoting
much time to the income tax PROPOSE
ton. He thinks that he is making con-
verts for it i'll the committee and hopes
to have it reported as revenue-raising
feature of the tariff bill. Other men,
berS of the committee say it will be i'm
possible now to cut the duties
to that extent that many people
seem to think should be done, and
they give out the impression that so
far from being such radical measure
as once predicted, it will be mild re-
duction all around, without any heavy
cuts on anything, and with a free list
not so largely increased as has been
talked of. Indeed, some members are
opposed to enlarglng the free list to any
extent, except in few and unimportant
articles, especially when the revenues
of the government are in their present
condition.
There is now talk about a reduction
upon coal and iron ore instead of send
ing these articles to the free list. 1t is
true that in all that has been said about
the tariff bill nothing officially has been
given out except the statement of Chair
man Wilson, that the first draft of the
customs part of the bill had been COM
pleted. Mr.. Wilson said the dav
that congress adjourned that he
uOW WdutCu W WOIk ulleGQ hours
a day on the bill until it was ready
to be reported, and he then hoped to
make such progress that congress would
be willing TO take it up soon after reas-
sembling. There was an impression
among many of the members that very
little could be done with the tariff bill,
even if it was ready to be reported to
the honse the first day of the session,
until after the holiday adjournment,
because of the absence of members and
the difficulty in maintaining a quorum
of Democrats in the house until after
the holidays.

wrecked near Allen, twenty miles north
of here, at o'clock this morning. The

A switch had been turned, probably by
Would-be train robbers, and the train
ran out on frail switch track leading
to limekiln in the woods. The track
gave way under the heavy train with
the result stated. Two tramps stealing
a ride on the blind baggage were also
killed. The train consisted of
ten vestibuled coaches, President
FiSh's private car and a baggage and
express car, the latter containing a
large amount of money in safe from
New York in charge of Messenger
Boyle and two guards. Boyle had his
arm broken, but the guards escaped I'M
hurt. None of the passengers were Sc
riouSly injured. though all were given a
shaking up.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The general offices
of the illinois Central company in this
