Spokane. April 3 Special Correspondence.
Alexander Siegel was condemned yes
terday by the jury in Judge Bucks
court for taking a shot at Edward En-
valid, within the shadow of the court
house.
As the jurymen fled in and were
polled, Siegel arose and repeated after
the bailiff, counting on his tingers:s
zone, two, three" and so on to the
completion of that formality.
The verdict was passed up and scru-
tinized by the court. ordered to be re-
corded, and was then read from the
record:

Gentlemen of the jury" said the
prisoner, still standing, Il thank you for
your sensible conclusion l am guilty
but not insane"
Resuming his seat, he muttered:
I'D rather be in hell than in a lunatic
asylum"
As Attorney Bushnell who had set up
The insanity plea. passed around the
table, to gather up his books, Siegel
Kissed between his teeth:
You son Of blank. I'll kill you on
sight when l get out of this"
Siegel then took his case into his own
hands and gave formal notice Of in
f"ntinn to move for Il new trial. To-
morrow is the day set for hearing mo-
tons in Judge Bucks department, and
this case will probably be disposed of
at that time.
The minimum and maximum penalty
for SiegePs crime is one to IA years, in
the discretion of the court Nobody can
read Judge Bucks mind. but the suppo-
sition is that the assassin will not be

"Will i argue the motion for new
trial?' answered Chief Counsel Kelley

l appeared for him. because the court
ordered me TO do so. Insanity was the
only defense that could have been made
we defended him on that ground.
don't dispute the righteousness of the
jury verdict. I am through with the
case and trust that the court will re-
lease me from further connection with

had in the trial was on account of syn-

During the progress of the trial. it is
said, Siegel told his daughter that if she
went on the stand with reference to his
drawing a revolver on Mrs. Lewis he
would choke her to death.

DEFENDS THE DlPHTHERIA CURE
An Eminent Psychologists Says the Re.
cent Death Was From Other Causes.


New York, april 2.-W. II. Park, NJ. D.
assistant director of the hospital and
meteorological laboratory of the board of
health, has given out the following state
ment in regard to the death of Bertha
Valentine of Brooklyn, which was sup
posed al first to have been caused by an
injection of anti-toXne:
In view of the sudden death which re-
rently occurred in Brooklyn from the ad-
ministration of Behring's diphtheria anti
toMne, / obtained from Messrs. Schulz
berg & Rochelle the American agents
for the remedy, two walls of the anti-tox-
inc from the same lot as that which was
employed by DR.. KOrlright in this case
/ have submitted both Walls to thorough
tests by injecting excessive doses into
Guinea pigs and rabbits without produc-
ing in the animals any deleterious eff
focts whatever. Specimens from both
Walls We're also submitted to bacteriolog-
zeal tests and We're found to be absolutely
free from living germs of any kind. These
results, taken together with the fact that
the New York city board of health has
employed the same kind Of anti-toxine in
a considerable number of cases with the
best of results, leads me to express that
the unfortunate results which followed
in the case referred to can not be attrib-
uted in any way to the anti-toxine which
was employed"

Pittsburg, April flames ]. Corbett,
talking here today of the proposed
changes in the boxing rules as advocated
by the Olympic Club al New Orleans, de-
clared himself opposed to making five
minute rounds and two minutes rest. The
present rules were adopted by universal
consent. and nothing short of that can
change them. IF the Olympic Club is al
lowed to make changes, every club in the
country can do the same thing, but there

COLFAX HAD DUST.
Cofax, April 2-Tormer inhabitants
Of Kansas and the Dakotas were slight
~ reminded of their old homes last
night. At o'clock the wind died down

seemed heavy and hot. A few minutes
later the sky began to grow dark and
threatening and about o'clock a
strong wind, made thick and yellow by
flying real estate, rolled over the hills
and enveloped the town in almost total
darkness. The wind blew harder than
has been known for months, and the
dust was so thick and heavy that a per-
son could not see more than a block
through IT. After about an hour, a
sprinkling rain set in, and the wind and
dust settled down again. But little dam
age seems to have been done by the
storm. A large door OF a vacant agri-
cultural machinery warehouse on Main
street was blown in, the roof of a pho
tOgraph gallery was torn off and the
contents within slightly damaged A
large pine tree back of the Hotel Colfax
was broken off, and several fences and
sheds suffered Slight damage. Rumors
from the country south of this place are
aloat to the effect that the storm was
even more destructive in other places
than it was here. Farm fences were
blown down, haystacks torn up and an
occasional barn unroofed. Telegraph
wires are down in several places and
communication in some directions cut
off Telephone wires however seem TO

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS FOR INDIANS
Archbishop Kahn Thinks the Government
Has Acted in Bad Faith

st. Louis, April 2--Archbishop Kahn
said in regard TO the cutting down BY
congress Of appropriations for Catholic
Indian schools:
Il think the government has broken
faith. The Catholics established Indian
schools, as did the Protestant denomina-
tons, at the request of the government,
which promised to maintain the schools
II the churches built them. The Catholics
built more schools and had more pupils
than the others because our people gave
more money for the Indians than did the
Protestants. OF course the Catholics were
entitled to larger appropriations, and II
they got 100000 and the others only $780,
900. the reason was to be found in their
devotion to the work and their liberal
ity."
