NOBODY seems to know what benefit Ca n
ter which is intended to create the i'm
preston that Wesley Warner is not guilty
of the crime for which he will soon pay the
penalty, but that he is the victim of a con-
splracy on the part of the Peak family.
The letter, it is claimed, was written by
Amanda Peak, and contains an admission
that her sister struck Warner first. If
this letter was in any way new, it might
be of some account, but it is over year
old, being dated March IA. 1898. Soon
after its alleged discovery, THE News was
in possession of it, but declined to use it
because it was then suspected to be for
gerry. What was then a suspicion has
since been proved beyond a shadow of
a doubt. The letter is a forgery, and it
would require very little effort to ferret
out the author and instigator of the fimsy
production. To produce it n low is a con-
temptible act. II Wesley Warmers con.
viction had rested alone upon Amanda
Peaks evidence, this letter might haye
some weight but there were other wit
nesses to the scene, and in the effort to
show that Warner is being unjustly dealt
with, those who gave their testimony sub
stantially the same as Amanda Peak are
virtually branded perjurers and con
spirators. But some people are never
willing to give up, although fairly defeat
ed, and are willing to stoop to anything
that they may appear to be in the right.
If half the effort that has been used in
this direction had been devoted to pre-
pairing the unfortunate man for his awful
fate, it would have been more to the credit
of all interested.

Margaret Deitzig and her eight-year-

Mrs. Kirkham picked up the baby and

A CORRESPONDENT criticises the editorial
in last weeks paper on the question of
school books and says that we reiterated
the statement that 1.-The recent legislation
was in the interest of the American Book
Company" That statement was not made
by this paper. but by the New York
World What THE News said, and what
we now say, is that the American Book
Company seems to have taken more in
terest in the matter than any other con-
Germ, and has pounced upon county super
intendents, school principals and others
who were speedily made agents for their
works. And it is said that this concern
bad more inside knowledge of the pro-
gress of the bill than anybody else. Those
who secured the passage of the bill teach
ing Temperance physiology" are all right
as are their actions, and the rapidity with
which one concern takes advantage of the
legislation does not reflect upon them. Ii
only shows that somebody kept posted,
and did not let any grass grow under
their feet.

Bur little more than week remains
for Wesley Warner to live on this earth.
While there has been sturdy effort 10
create mawkish sentiment in his be-
half, the general impression is that his
sentence is just. an opinion, by the way,
that is concurred in by all Of the courts
that have reviewed the case. In this con-
nection we are disposed to speak a word
IN behalf of Prosecutor Budd, who has
watched the states interest with more
than ordinary caution and diligence
From the outset he discovered that his
wac no easy task Warner had no money,
but the county came to bis aid and he
was given able counsel and all opportu
With thorough knowledge of the tao
tics of one of the opposing counsel Mr..
Budd went to work, and WAS kept con
stantly on the lookout for all sorts OF
moves intended to trip him up. When
the verdict was reached in the lower
court, move was at once made for new
trial. This not being successful, the case
was carried up, going into every court it
was possible to reach, but always with
the same result In every instance Pros
ecutor Budd was called upon to defend
the decision of the lower court, and TO
see that justice was not defeated. The
work entailed upon him was not by any
means light And now he has the salts
faction of knowing that he has aided to
uphold the strong arm of the law and re.
stored confidence that was being badly
shaken. OF course it was Prosecutor
Budd's duty to do just what he did, but
that does not lessen the fact that the duty
was, NEVERTHELESS onerous and that Mr.
Budd is entitled to credit for his services.
