French will be Tried for Murder in the
Second Degree.
Ashland, Wis, Sept. 9.-[Special.]E
The state amended its complaint today
in the French murder trial to the second
degree, claiming that as he was con-
victed on the second degree at the Sec
ond trial it was an acqulrrai of the first
degree, Notwithstanding the fact that the
Supreme court reversed the case.
The defense now claims that as the
original information in this particular
case charges French with murder in the
first degree he is entitled to twenty-four
strikes to six for the state. The state
claims that as he is to be tried on the
second degree each side is only entitled
to four strikes. The defense makes a
plea of insanity.
This is six times that French has been
tried. the case having been reversed by
the Supreme court twice. DR.. Kemp
ster of Milwaukee and DR.. Kneally of
Chicago are the two chief insanity ex-
perts who are, to be here tomorrow.
French says he has sensational new
evidence to offer, producing some impor-
tant letters he has just discovered.

Gldden, in this county, where he went
to quell riot caused by a dispute over
the hiring of school teacher. Charles

treated there would have been. blood
shed. The trouble originated because
the secretary of the school board hired
a new teacher when the Bavarian farm

teacher. The two teachers met yester-
day and the farmers concluded to drive
away the new teacher with a shower Of
