money gives is blessing in any

derclothes for him. She was asked il she
(Mrs. Koesters) laid out his night shirt for
him. and she said he wore none. On Christ
mas she (the defendanD gave him a pair
OF slippers. She did not give him a shirt,
nor collar, nor necktie. 1t was an old neck
tie she laid out for him. She got the cuff
buttons from the washstand. She put away
his Sunday clothes when he took them
off. After the death Of Mrs. Koesters she
quit washing because she had more work
to do. She told Mr.. BOOSTERS that she sent
the washing out. She did the ironing, except
the last time. She did not do the ironing
the last week because of the death of Clara
Koesters. She spoke of going back to Ger
many during Mrs. KoeSters's life. She
spoke of leaving after Mrs. Koesters's
death. and Mr.. Koesters said she knew
where everything was and that she was
better acquainted will the children than
he and she should not leave him in this
trouble. She said Mr.. Koesters told her she
spent too much money for the children.
Mrs. Margaret Ohleyer also said the same
thing. She thought of going away after the
time mentioned above, but did not speak to
Mr.. Koesters about it. She did speak TO
Mrs. Ohleyer about it. She never asked Mr..
koesters to pay her for the flowers pur-
chased for NAMES casket At the time
she purchased the gloves for Mr.. Koesters
she received 20 cents or 81 from him, and
paid only that amount for the gloves.
Mr.. boosters gave her 10 cents at one
time TO prepare meals for the Watchers;
the other time she purchased w~einerwurst
with her own money. She never asked him
for this money and he never paid it TO her.
After Mrs. Koesters's death she had two
Thursdays off. the same as before. After
that Mr.. Koesters told her to watch the
store when he went away, whether 1t was
Thursday or not. She took the English les
sons I'm the evening. She said she once
spoke of Paul as my Paul. Mr.. Watson
and Mr.. Koesters spoke in English on the
night the former was in the store, and she
did not understand what they said. She
did not remember whether Mr.. Koesters
had ever said in her presence that the girl
Mamie would soon grow up and take his
wife's place. When Mamie came home from
school sick. the defendant did not say any
thing to Mr.. Koesters till supper time. She
testified before the coroner. She did not re-

ters had said if God spared Mamie she
would be a great help to him. She learned
to write English at the Sisters school.
A copy of her lessons was then shown
her, and she was asked if she wrote ii. and
answered that she did. She copied 1t from
the book which she studied. The writing
was made a part of the evidence. The court
then adjourned.

LOOKS BLUE FOR M'KANE.
The Judge Says He Is Not Entitled to a
Stay as a Matter of Right.

BROOKLYN, y. Y, Dec. 19.-The argu-
ment In the stay of sentence in the John
Y. McKane case was heard by Judge Gull
len to-day. This is the election case In
Kings county where the accused is alleged
to have said: ''Injunctions don't go here"
Judge Troy, for McKane, argued that the
Supreme Court had no jurisdiction and,
second, that the injunction was, therefore,
not disobeyed. Judge Cullen took the pa
pers and said: 81 am not going to write
any lengthy opinion, and 1 will state now
the lines on which 1 shall determine. This
is not like civil cases. You are not en-
titled TO stay as a matter Of right. as in
civil cases. In a civil case a man can
carry ii up TO the Court of Appeals If he
wishes TO. This never was SO In a criminal
case. even when a mans liberty was at
stake. The question Of a stay In a GRIM
inal case has never been a matter OF right.
Here the statutes says what shall govern
able doubt as TO whether the Judgment
shall stand. The present case IS exactly
analogous TO a. criminal case. The rights
of the people, through the supreme Court,
are involved. BY the power of punishment
this court maintains order at this moment.
1t Is by that power the sutton gets his
of the court. This Is a criminal case, as
administered by the court itself for the pur-
pose of enforcing its authority. for the sake
of the suitors whose rights are committed
TO its care. / shall be governed entirely
by the fact as TO whether this judgment
would stand or not. The dignity of any
court requires that IT shall be upheld, even
at the expense Of human liberty. If l be-
lieve there was jurisdiction and that the in
junction was violated, | shall deny. and
while L should regret it if it goes upon an
appeal, and the judges of the Appellate
Court differ from myself, l am not respon-
sible. | must proceed according TO my
Judgment. The question is not whether
Judge Barnard's order was right. The ques-
ton is: Was il within or without his
power? II il was within his power, how
ever erroneous. every one was bound 10
respect IL. the same as the judgment of the
highest court in the land. i shall consider
the power OF the court to grant the order,
and, secondly the evidence To show that it
was violated. These are the only ques-
tions | shall consider, and / will render a
decision as soon as possible"

there been so much want and restitution
among the poor and unemployed. Indeed,
IL was safe TO estimate that one-fourth OF

Cockrell moved to take up the bill amend
ing the laws so as to require original re-
ceipts for deposits of postmasters TO be

Mr.. Call opposed the taking up Of the
bill, and repeated the argument made by
him when the bill was previously under
consideration as to the uncOnSt1tutionallty
of the commission. 4
Mr.. Sherman, while approving the object
and terms of the bill, and believing II would
expedite public business. thought Ii was
clear that no measure of the kind should
be considered before Ii was referred TO a
regular standing committee of the Senate.
MT. Cochrei!, a MEMBER Oh the commas

something. The business of the depart
ment should be brought up to current
work.
Mr.. Villas argued that the Postmaster
general had the power to direct how the
receipts should be disposed of. Mr.. Hoar
said the commission had no other legal ex-
istence than If the creative act had said
three clerks in the Postoffice Department
and three clerks in the Treasury Depart
ment instead of three Senators and three
members of the House.
Mr.. Cullom, a member of the commission.

mission were to be referred TO standing
committees of the Senate the commission

Can Serve Four Years.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

DptNIdI NU NHt IHUIdIIdpUIIS JOUrndI.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Democrats In
Indiana have for some time been trying to
persuade Postmaster-general Bisseil to rule
that where presidential postofices have
been in the hands of Republican postmas-
tiers for four years they shall be given out
to Democrats. whether the commissions of
the incumbents have run four years or
less. There are several of these cases I'm
Indiana. where two or more postmasters
were appointed to the same office under
President HARRISON. and in some instances
the incumbents have been i'm possession of
the offices but two years. There are two
or three thousand of these cases the coun-
try over. 1t is stated that the Postmaster
general will not turn out the postmasters
where they are efficient and honest until
they have served four years.
