TRIED THE SECOND TIME,
Mrs. Iren Leonard Yet Held for
the Murder of Her
Husband.
Evidence That She Conspired With
a Divorced Spouse to Commit
the Crime.

WICHITA. KANs., May 9.-Mrs. Irene
Leonard is being tried the second time for
the murder of her husband, H. L. Leonard.
The murder occurred in this city on the
night of November II, and Mrs. Leonard.
her divorced husband, +. NJ. Williamson b,
and their son Norville Williamson, were
arrested for the crime. Williamson was
tried and acquitted. The jury in Mrs.
Leonard's first trial disagreed, and the
sons case has not yet come to trial. The
murder was one of the most brutal ever
committed in this part of the State.
Leonard is presumed to have oeen killed
while in bed in his own home. His body
was then dressed and carried into the
alley back of the barn.
He carried a $4,000 insurance policy in
favor of his wife, and it was brought out
in the evidence at the former trials tha,
Mrs. Leonard and her divorced husband
were seen out riding the day previous to
the killing, and that Williamson was read
ing Leonard's insurance policy. The theory
of the State is that the insurance policy
furnished the motive for the crime. A
iury was secured with the greatest diff
Guilty.
The evidence of ex-Coroner McCollier
was given this afternoon. He identified
the bloody relics of the tragedy, detailed
the finding of the body and described the
sickenirig scene at the Leonard home SC
graphically that the defendant broke irto
q food of tears. There is intense interest

Dickinson to-day gave out for publication
reply to the charges made in the United
States Senate Thursday by Senator Vest
in regard to the control of the Michigan
State Democratic convention by office
holders. Mr.. Dickinson says that Senator
Vest is in error in all of his state
ments about the Michigan convention,
as are the other Southern Senators
who have been making threats of
Senatorial investigation of the campaign
eliminating in that convention. He as
serts that neither Chairman Stevenson nor
anybody else issued any circular to office
holders in connection with that conven-
ton.
Office-holders favorable to the admins
tration were outnum pered in both county
and State conventions by office-holders
with free silver proclivitIes. Mr.. Dickin-
son declared that the Chicago convention
will not favor the policy of free coinage at
the ratio of 16 to l.

for the prompt interference of General
Weyler, as result of the protest of Con-
sul-General Williams, he would probably
have been killed. As it was, his head was
cut by several sword blows, and he received
a bullet in his thigh.
In addition, some of the men employed
on his estate were killed, and his property
was ruined. His father, also an American
citizen. and who as we'll has a claim
against the Spanish Government, was on
the estate at the time, and it was he who
advised Consul-General Williams of his
sons peril.
DR.. Delgado, the State Department Off
cials have been informed, left Cuba for the
United States, and he is expected to ap-
pear before Secretary Olney and person
ally acquaint that official with the out
RACES committed upon him and his family.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Massey, who is look
ing out for the legal interests of Mr.. Del
gado Sr., is also interested in the sons
case. She declares there is no doubt as to
the citizenship of the Delgados, both hav-
ing been naturalized in New York and
having resided there.

A Fire, Supposed to Have Been Started
by Strikers, Sweeps the W.
fdqe of LQnSe

MARQUETTE, MICH, May 9.-The vii
lage of Lanse, on Keweenaw Bay, seventy
miles west of Marquette, narrowly escaped
destruction by fire, which started this
afternoon in the mill of the Lanse Lumber
Company. For several days the milIhands
have been on strike, and it is believed
some hot-headed strikers applied the
torch to the mill. The mill was destroyed
and the high winds carried the flames into
the business center, where they we're con-
fined by hard work to six buildings. The
loss will approximate 100000.
The fire destroyed the lumber docks and
three million feet of lumber belonging to
the Lanse Sawmill Company. Tho ore
docks were also burned Many residences
were also burned. So far as is known no
lives have been lost, but more than $50
persons are homeless.

PROHIBITION FACTIONS,
There Will Be Lively Time
at the Convention at
Pittsburg.
Sentiment Appears to Favor Joshua
Leveriny for the Presidential
Nomination.

PI1TSBURG, Pa, May 9.-Interest in
the National gathering of Prohibitionists
in Pittsburg during the week of May 26 is
becoming more marked as the time for the
convention approaches. That there will
be lively time over the adoption of the
platform is indicated by the almost even
division of sentiment among the various
State delegations elected, over the ''broad"
and marrow gauge" issue. The Prohi-
bitionists are divided into two factions,
the one which favors free silver, protection
and other disputed policies, being distin-
guished as "broad gauge"
The other faction, equally strong, favors
a narrow-gauge platform. which-compre-
hends bat one thing-the Endorsement of
prohibition. While it is uncertain, owing
to the size of the field of candidates for
the Presidential nomination, who will be
successful, sentiment appears to be grad
ually veering toward Joshua Levering of
Baltimore, narrow gauge man and one
of the prominent prohibition leaders of
the country.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 9-Old King
Cole, the jolly old soul, came into possess
sion tonight with steam-beer smile and
stage strut, and much royal purple, and
fiddles three, and a dragon, and a long
and wonderful retinue, and a clatter and
crash of the populace. accomplished by
means of many bells, not one of which
tangled in tune, and tinhorns and a thou
sand strange devices for splitting into
Jagged fragments all the atmosphere Of
San Jose. Truly Old King Cole made
wild night of it, and if there be one of his
subjects tomorrow who may not boast of
a remarkable headache it will be because
he has overdone the thing and is dead.
Queen Lillian gave over peacefully, for
her mission was simply merry y-making and
display of the beauty of her realm. At
the approach of riot she fed.
All day the minions of the King gath
cred and increased in the streets, hidden
behind masks and cloaks, and when the
sun went down and before the lights were
lit they came in crowds out of every
shadow in the street. San Jose has not
seen the like before. The city is crowded
tonight beyond any previous experience,
and it was only with the greatest diff

merry monarch and his army. The riot
Gus and noisy subjects held possession of
the middle of the road supposed to be re-
served for him. With his approach they
| fell back and with their frightful crash of
horns and bells made way for him.
The King was late. He gave his people
notice that he would come among them at
| Z IN the evening, but it is understood that
he stopped outside the gates to take an
other bumper with few friends and for
got his date. At any rate, it was running
on past O'Clock when his Majesty swag-
gered into First street.
Throughout the whole day there had
been plotting and counter plotting in and
out of the royal family. There was even
scheme TO kidnap his Majesty and hide
him away from his people in the midst of
his brief reign. But the King heard of it
and the plotters were placated with posi-
tions in the cabinet. The tardiness OF
the King made his people very nervous, in
view of the rumors that everybody had
heard, and they blew their horns and
| tangled their cow bells more discordantly
as the time passed.
However, he came in great glory with
his trolley on supplying light to bower
of incandescent lamps in which he sat.

tiddlers three and those members of the
royal family who are always supposed to
'keep next" to kings.
