Voting at Mass.

Father killeen took occasion, in refer ring to this circular to denouuce in the SC verest terms eN-Postmaster Thomas Brady and Recorder Patrick w. Connolly, two of the leading practitioners who have been prominent in their opposition to the pas tor. Alter upbraiding them the pastor in- vited every one present To cast his or her ballot declaring opposition to or support of him. Ballots were taken at the four masses One hour later various parish toners reported they could not fiud ballots against Father killeen. The result claimed was 1,6S7 in favor of Father lIilleen to 9i against him. It is said there are 6. .OOO par ishioners.
 The sensation of the day, however, was 'the mass meeting in Brady's hall. Recorder Connolly presided, and about 3OO persons were present. The proceedings were bois- place at the outset over the indorsement of the action of private meeting held by the leaders of the opposition to Father Killen.
 The noise was deafening and Interruption constant. John J. Hickey, n supporter of the iastor, offered this resolution:
 Resolved, That we repudiate the statement made to the pastor that a majority wanted him removed and cite the figures of the ballots taken at the masses.
 During a dispute which followed, John Smith and Richard Walsh induIged in a colloquy, in which the former threatened to force Walsh ito shut up'' if he failed to do so voluntarily. Many other violent speeches weIe made, and the resolution was adoDted.

DESCRIBED BY HIMSELF

Ex-Judge Seymour D. Thompson, for
many years one of Mssouri's leading law
yers and Judge of the st. Louis Court
OF Appeals, is in San Francisco.
After a life of hard legal work Judge
Thompson retired from the bench about
five years ago, and has devoted the greater
part Of his time since then to travel and
writing. He is the author of several
valuable works on law and has done good
deal in the line of literature.
His prominence in legal circles can be
best judged by the fact that ne is the
editor of the American Law Review.
During the last five years ana at times
during his life eX-Judge Thompson has
travelled through almost every known
country on the earth, and there is scarcely
a land or nation that he Is not thoroughly
familiar with from personal observation.
His last expedition was to Iceland, the
liJtle island which is to mos. people a
sealed b1ok, and which so few people
whom one meets in the Western Hemis-
phere have ever visited.
EX-Juiee Thompson was seen by a

morning. The severity of Prosecuting

The preliminary examination of the
prisoners attracted the usual crowd of
curious spectators, and as the prison ers
looked over the crowded co urtroom, they

them than they did at the mention of the
name Of Baddeley. Worthington see med

and exhibited more interest in the pro-
ceedings than did the frail-looking woman
at his side.
Officer Dennis Courneen, who was the
first policeman on the spot after the
fatal shot. told how Baddeley in his agony
confessed his crime and intimated the
cause Of his plight while in tho death
