CAUTION TO NEWSPAPERS.
WILLIS LAYS DG WV THE Law AS TO
PUBLICATIONS
ABOUT CAUSES ON TRIAL.

Says 1t Is Violation OF Law to
Express Opinion as TO the Truth
or Falsity of Testimony, or TO
Side Either With the State or
Defense in Criminal Trials Be-
fore a Verdict Is Rendered.
John Ryan, the third man accused
holding up Charles NJ. Banker at the
corner of Fourteenth and jackson
streets last October, was put on trial
yesterday in Judge Willis court The
taking of testimony will be resumed
this morning.
After the jury had been impaneled
and the trial was ready to be proceeded
with, Judge Willis said:
~ desire to make an announcement
of law at this time. l make this III all
kindness; that is, that it has been the
universal rule of the English and Amer
lean law, for many centuries, that no
statements rejecting upon the court or
witnesses, and no comments calculated
to prejudice the rights of either party
to trial will lawfully be published i'll
any newspaper while the trial is pro-
ceeding. Especially IS this true in ref,
erence to the trial Of criminal
causes. The law is that all
criminal trials are to be pub
licly conducted, and every lndlvla-
ual in the community has a right
to publish or to relate what actually Oc-
ours, but no individual has right to
publish OF disseminate observation on
the truth or falSehood of the testimony
given by Witnesses at a criminal trial,
nor suggestions or hints that any wit
ness has testified falsely, or that the
theory either of the state or the de-
PENDANT is weak or wanting in validity,
or wanting III reasonable efhclency.
Nothing must be done TO impair the alb
Solute impartiality of the investigation
which proceeds in connection with the
trial of criminal causes, and the same
is true of the trial OF civil
causes also. There is no obJec-
ton to publishing anything that
actually occurs i'll court or
justice. 1t may be published fully;
but comments calculated to create a
prejudice against either party In judi
cial proceedings, civil or criminal, are
absolutely unlawful. The publication
of articles calculated to sustain one SIDE
of the controversy. or dlSparage announcer
has been repeatedly adJudlcated upon
as contempt of court and, punished as
such, both in England and America. If
any observations open to the objections
which l have indicated have bean
heretofore made upon the trial of any
criminal cause in this county, or id any
part of this state, in newspapers or
otherwise. | sincerely hope they will
not occur again. Such comments are
contrary to law, contrary to good morals
and contrary to the high principles OF
American citizenship"

Man Had No Money So the Thugs
Knocked His Teeth Out

MAN uau NO nOnO4 81 ShO 4huSS
Knocked His Teeth Out.
At $50 o'clock last evening a gentle
man, whose name the police would not
give out. was stopped by two thugs at
the corner of Eleventh and Minnesota
streets and ordered to throw up his
hands. He complied with the demand.
because big revolver held by one of
the highwaymen was in close proximity
to his head. The footpads secured no
money. owing to their victim having
none with him. They took, however,
his watch and chain, and not satisfied
with this, brutality beat him over the
head and face, knocking out two of his
front teeth.
The vicinity where the robbery
occurred last night has been the scene
of numerous hold-ups in the last year,
and special detail of patrolmen and
detectives is made each night for this
section Of the city. It would appear
that this precaution has little if any
effect on the thugs. as within three
blocks of where the robbery took place
last night three patroimen and two
detectives we're supposed to be on duty
for the special purpose of preventing
highwaYmer from getting in their work.

Witnesses Say Only That Meyers
Resembles the Murderer-Dfd
Not See the Murderer's Face
No Witness Swore Positively
That Meyers Was the Man
Mckinney Discharged. Pr
Charles Meyers was arraigned in the
police court yesterday, charged with the
murder of Martin p. Erickson on the
night of Feb. l. The complaint was
signed by Edward Erickson, brother of
the murdered man, and was issued on
Feb. 26.
-Four witnesses were examined for the
state, and so slim was the evidence that
Attorney P. M Qvist. attorney for
Meyers, declined to make any defense.
Edward Erickson, Ole Nelson and John
MartinSon, who saw the murderer leave
the scene of the shooting, testified as to
the resemblance between the prisoner
and the man who committed the
crime. None of the three saw
the face of the assassin, but
thought the general appearance of
Meyers was much the same. They
would not swear that the prisoner was
the man they saw, but all agreed that
he looked like him. DR.. Finnell testified
to making the autopsy on the body of
the murdered man, and explained the
nature aud position of the wounds
which caused death. This was all the
testimony presented, and Meyers attor-
ney made motion to dismiss, on the
ground that no motive had been shown,
that identification was incomplete, and,
from the evidence, there was not even
probable cause which it was necessary
to show in order TO hold the defendant
to the grand jury.
Judge Twohy said that he desired TO
review the evidence, and would render
decision at the afternoon session of the
court.
At 2 o'clock Judge Twohy said that
he was disposed to let the grand Jury
investigate the case. The evidence, he
said. was very slight. but possibly
enough to constitute probable cause.
The grand jury meets in three or four
days. and, in order to give this body
chance to consider the case, he would
hold Meyers to the grand jury.
Joseph Mckinney, arrested at the
same time Meyers was, and who has
since been confined at the police sta
ton, was discharged from custody.

Knocks ont Iowa,s Law.

Des Moines, Iowa, Jan. 23-The SUI
preme court affirmed its former decision,
holding that the sprohibitory amend
ment" is not a part of the constitution
of the state, having never been legally
adopted. This decision puts final
quietus on constitutional prohibition in
Iowa, and leaves nothing of prohibition
but the statute, which will probably be
repealed by the present legislature. The
case was brought before the court in the
acton of J. A. Harvey, the president of
the state temperance alliance, against
w. NJ. Mcfarland, secretary of state.
The defendant refused to issue a certi-
fed copy of the constitution containing
thi: provision on the ground that the sp-
preme court had decided it was not a
part of the constitution, and the plaintiff
therefore practically asked and brought
an action for writ of mandamus to COM
pei him to issue such copy, notwithstand-
Ing the ruling of the court. Judge. Con-
rad refused to grant the writ, and the
former decision oft he supreme court, as
well as that of the district court, is af-
frned. Since the suit was commenced
the state temperance alliance has ceased
to exist, and it is safe to say the pro-
hibitory amendment is now dead forever

WrOn-fully Convicted.

West Union, Iowa, Jan. %. - About
twenty years ago Warren Clough, vet
eran of the late war, belonging to the
Twenty seventh Iowa infantry, was SEN
fenced to death for the alleged murder
of his brother. He was living then in
Nebraska. The sentence, later, was
changed to life imprisonment. All of the
evidence was of a circumstancial sort,
but the country at that time was consid-
erably wrought up over other murders,
and the benefit of the doubt was not &C.
corded to him. After serving out four
teen weary years, convict in a Cali
fo1nia penitentiary, confessed upon his
death bed that he had killed Clough's
brother. The matter was at once brought
to the notice Of the Nebraska officials and
Clough was released. In few weeks
petition, signed by the best people all
over the state will be presented to the
Nebraska legislature, asking that the
sum of $4,000 be given Mr.. Clough i'll
payment for the wrongful Imprisonment,
and the bill will no doubt pass. Mr..
Clough now resides with his nephew at
Postville, Allamakee county.
