er was ushered in the presence of
the Judge.
Kelly's attorney, Judge Caples,
was in his seat, prepared to argue
the motion for a new trial, and as
soon as order prevailed, the argu-
ment was proceeded with. Three
aifidavits were filed with the clerk
of the court, showing that new ev-
idence had been discovered. Judge
Caples, in his appeal for new
trial, laid great stress upon this
new evidence, which, he said, would
prove Kelly not to have been away
from town on the night Of the MUIR
der.
In spite Of Judge Caples' great
effort to obtain a new trial, the
court overruled the motion.
Judge Stephens then asked the
prisoner to stand up and
state if he had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed up
on him.
Kelly had a great deal to say,

Nebraska Sufferers Are Victims of
Gross Mismanapen,ant

1
LINCOLN, Neb, Feb. S.-The COM
plants from all parts Of the state
as to the inability ofthe Nebraska
relief committee to furnish proper
relief to the destitute have become
SO frequent that concerted demand
has been made for reorganization
by the legislature and an investi-
cation is now in progress with that
idea in view. With peoplein many
counties suffering all the pangs Of
hunger and without fuel except
dried grass and with the mercury
seventeen degrees below zero, hun
dreds of cars OF food, provisions and
fuel are standing on the sidetraoks
in various parts Of Nebraska con-
tributed by outside states, waiting
the p!easureof the relief COMMITTEES.
In many cases the people threaten
to burst open the cars and help
themselves to the food. Charitable
people of other states have sent
them, and they are withheld by
a clumsily organized relief com
mittee.
The state has appropriated $780,
600 to relieve the destitute and il
is estimated that other sources have
contributed $1,000,O00 in food,
money, etc. This is more than
sufficient to feed and clothe all the
destitute Of the state for year if
properly distributed.
AS an evidence Of the manner in
which the supplies are being wasted
almost in sight Of the hungry for
whom they are intended the follow
ing report to the legislature by Opt.
w. FL. Hunter, Of Lincoln and Or.
S. S. Saddler of Alma, Neb., who
investigated the situation, is given:
"We visited the Burlington &
Missouri freight Office yesterday
and were there informed BY the
agent that twelve cars loaded with
supplies for the destitute were then
in the Burlington &Missouri yards
and about three carloads in the
| freight depot besides what were
stored III other warehouses;. We
proceeded to q building said to be-
long to Buckstaff Bros, and there
we found from the statement made
by the party in charge Of said
building, sixty carloads of supplies
which the men in charge said had
been there from one to three weeks.
These supplies were composed of
-four, wheat, corn, oats, corn meal,
beans, potatoes, Kraut and large
amount Of groceries and clothing.
OF the potatoes, about one carload
was frozen hard, The kraut was
in barrels someof which were burst
ed and leaking badly. We were
informed one carload had been
shipped out Of this warehouse jan
uary 30.'

terrupted him, and In the following
words imposed sentence:
"Mr. Kelly, the court is Of the

and impartial trial, and that the
jury was not prejudiced against
you. This court must discharge
its duty. The sentence Of the
court is that you be imprisoned in
the penitsntiary for the rest of your
natural life.p
As Kelly heard his sentence pro-
nounced he set his features and
raised his head defantly. His
eyes glared savagely and he ground
his teeth fendishly.
Judge ne said, ard rather Be
hung. I'd rather you'd hang me
than to send me to prison for life. I"
A few minhses later the prisoner
was led to his cell. He walked out
bearing the same defiant DIR as
sumed OIL hearing his sentence. He
was not at all embarrassed. but
rather appeared proud at having
been allowed to express himself.
His commitment papers were

Prohibition Montpelier.

The Montpelier Waterman has a very re-
markable editorial referring to the Herald
1t is remarkable because it is decent, good
tempered and free from untruth. The
Wdtchman asks about the Herald's state
ment in regard to prominent men OF the
state az liquor sellers. IL the contempt
rary will kindly read what we said and un-
derstand that we meant tn at and nothing
else its curiosity will be satisfied We have
said, over and over again, that half the
prominent men in the state were rum
sellers under the law. II any man OF fair
sense having the slightest acquaintance
with the facts will take that statement and
read the law, he cannot fail to see that we
are far within the truth. A Vermont judge
said some months ago, after sitting in a
case where man was fined for giving away
a drink of whiskey while fishing, that every
man in the state over thirty years Of age
was a rum seller under that law. That was
rather strong, for there are some teetOtalers
who give away no liquor and own or keep
no premises where liquor is handled in any
way, but such men are really few. And
giving way teaspoonful OF liquor any
where but in your own dwelling-even il to
save life-makes the giver rum. seller just
as clearly as does selling million barrels
to drunkards by the glass; the difference is
in the moral aspect. We explain this once
more at length, especially because contem
poraries besides the Waterman seem to
think that when the Herald says "rum-
seller" it means bar keeper" 1t means
what it says, and when it say 8 a rum seller
under the law it means a violator OF the
law Let the Waterman bear this in mind
and read the law, and we are sure that its
perplexity will end. But where is the
neighbours familiar declaration to the effect
that the prohibit Dry law is " enforced " in
Montpelier? We gave it a list OF names OF
men who, by the express provision of the
law were guilty OF selling rum in .primaa
facie way, but the contemporary simply had
prohibitionist jim jams for season and we
have heard nothing about Furnishing those
men. The Montpelier way of " enforcing ~
the law seems to be to chase a keg OF small
beer and come down tremendously upon a
quart of whiskey drunk at Legislative
junket without result, but to studiously pass
by the actual traffic.-Rutland Herald.
