The case Of Mrs. Fleming, now in Jail
IN New York ON the charge Of murder
ing her mother to get an Inheritance,
is striking one in legal history. An
estate of $85, 900 was to be Mrs. Flem-
ing's on the death Of her mother. The
mother died suddenly last year. Poison
was found in her stomach. AS the one
who would benefit BY her death, her
daughter, Mrs Fleming, was arrested
and imprisoned on the charge Of muir
der. While awaiting trial, she applied
for the estate which would have fallen
to her in the natural course. Her appli-
cation was refused on the ground of the
presumption that she killed her mother.
But this decision was reversed. The re-
versal Of the decision and the subse-
quent allotting Of her estate to Mrs.
Fleming, even though she be in prison,
probably fix q precedent III case the
exact parallel Of which has never arisen
before Mrs. Fleming will now have
the money of her mother with which to
defend herself from the charge of poi
soning that mother in order that she
might inherit the money. If, however,
it had been proved that the woman had
killed her mother, then the case would
have been different and she could not
have inherited under the law.

IT rs PLEDGED.

The fight that 9. B. Buchanan is
making for Clough is one to carry
out his claim made months ago
that he would secure an instructed
delegation for Clough from Morri-
son county. What the sentiment
in the county is makes no differ.
ence, an instructed delegation for
Clough has been guaranteed, and
it is, Of course, regarded as per-
.sonal opposition BY him for Re-
publicans to support Lee. Mr..
Buchanan was interviewed by a
newspaper reporter in St. Paul
last March, and the Pioneer Press
of March 80 or 81 contained his
views. The article closed with
the following:
"Senator Buckman's reputa-
ton as a fighter will 80 a long
way in a political battle, and be
asserts, with the confidence Of old,
that the delegation from Morrison
county will enter the state CONVEX
ton instructed for Gov. Clough. :
If the Republicans of this
county really prefer Clough to
their old resident and present
neighbor, Lee, for governor, they
should support him. But the fact
that the county has been pledged
to send an instructed delegation
for Clough, is at present no con.
elusive reason why the local party
should abandon its real, natural
and logical preference for Lee. If
the Republicans who insist on sup
porting Lee, Notwithstanding Mr.
Buckman's pledge, should quietly
abide by the ex-senator's dictation
all would be serene and lovely as
of old. If the Transcript would
again aid Mr.. Bucs man in deliver.
ing Morrison county according to
his pledges, then this paper
would enjoy his approval. The
Republicans Of this county have a
right to express their own views
in this contest for governorshlp,
and If any one has pledged more
than he can peri orm he has only
himself to blame. The party is
under no obligation to sustain
unwarranted pledges, and it is
time that such G forts should fail.
The contest III this county is
between Lee and Clough, and at
every caucus it should be distinct
~ understood who the candidates
for delegates favor. Elect PIE.
cinct delegates who represent the
sentiment Of the Republicans, and
elect men who can be depended
on to carry out their expressed
views.

5 While the Clough men admit
that their chances Of success inthe
state are very doubtful, they make
specially Of belittling the
strength Of tie opposition candi-
dates in the places where they most
strongly oppose Clough. In
southern Minnesota the Clough
men claim that neither Van SAINT
nor Gibbs can be nominated; in
Minneapolis the Clough men say
Eustis stands no show in the state
at large; in Ramsey county it is
declared that Clapp's strength is
confined to a few sections Of the
state, and that he cannot be nom
mated; while in the Sixth district
the Clough men declare Lee will
not develop much strength in the
convention. It is true that no
candidate will be nominated on
the first ballot, and we believe
that no other man of the six
stands as good chance as Mr.. Lee.
The desperate fight the Clough
people are making against Lee
shows that they fear him greatly,
and when they talk about his
standing no show for the nomina-
ton they know they are misrep-
resenting the facts.

variety in bicycle dress, and it must

dry goods stores have been forced to 20
