NO JURY YET.
Matters in the Trial of the Wyoming
Murderers Proceed Slowly.

Special to the Globe.
CENTER CITY, Mimi, Nov. Ii
Little was accomplished today in the
trial of Arthur Johnson, the younger
OF the men charged with the murder of
Hayes and Paul, at Wyoming. Only
nine jurors We're secured out of a
special venire and the court was ad-
journed until o'clock this evening.
Sheriff Anderson and deputies returned
at o'clock, having secured thirty-f1ve
additional unwilling candidates for
jury men, the examination Of whom is
now in progress. 1t is expected that
a jury will be secured out of the
second venire Taking of testimony
will begin tomorrow. DR.. Foster, of ST.
Paul. the physician who was held up
at the time Of the murder, arrived to-
day and is the principal witness for the
state. The men who participated In
the capture are also present. During
dants, Kelly and Johnson, showed deep
interest in the procedure and their
eyes followed every motion Of their
counsel, Judge Nethaway, of Still
water. This evening for the first time
has any interest been shown and the
court room was hiled with people.
Kelly intimated today that the story
of Bob Wilson, the other robber who
was killed in the fight at North Branch.
was a fake. He knew the dead man.
He had no relatives in the North
west. Kelly talks freely of his own
experiences in the West and South
west, but is reticent on every point
regarding the Wyoming affair. He
also opened up to the men who were
with the posse that captured him at
North Branch. Johnson has little to
say. The names Of the jurors secured
up to noon today are Jacob Slenger,
Kemil Brutts, @. w. Lindall, L. S.

KENT FIRM IN HOPE.
Takes the News of His Reprieve
Calmly


FARGO, N. D., Nov. 11.-Everything
about the Cass county jail is quiet to-
night and the excitement attendant to
the execution of X ut, which was to
have occurred in the morning has died
away. Kent feels very hopeful. He
ate a hearty supper tonight and retired
early and the death watch reported
MN sleeping soundly when a represen-
tat1ve called at the Jail. The weight
of sand has been removed from the
rope which will be laid aside for an
other week. A rumor has been current
that the condemned man had called
Bishop Stanley in for religious conso-
lation, and this report reached Kent
and apparently annoyed him very
much. Secretary Day Of the Y M. c.
A, was a visitor at the Jail today and
Kent wanted it understood that he did
not care for any religious advice In
conversation with Mr. Day, Kent said:
Il was brought up in the Presbyterian
faith guarded and watched over by a
kind, Christian mother, who is still
alive and is just as firm in her faith
today as she was in former years when
she prayed for the future welfare of
her son. She is now eighty years of
age and / know that she has spent the
declining years of her life praying that
all might go we'll with her son and
that he might have chance to show
to the world that. he is innocent.
was once strong in the Christian faith
and have ever believed in the great
teachings, but with manhood, while not
an inf1del, l have gradually grown
away from my early home lessons"
Kent did send for Bishop Stanley, but
it was to request him to visit Swiden-
sky, at the state penitentiary, and, as
a priest, secure a confession of the
crime from him. The bishop was at
Bismarck and personally visited Gov.
Allin in the condemned mans behalf
1t is reported while there that he also
visited Swidensky. and attempted to
secure the desired confession, but all
the Bohemian would say was that 'he
was under the curse of God"

BISMARCK, N. Oak, Nov. 11.-Kent
will not hang tome frow He has a
week to live at least. the governor hav-
ing granted him ] a respite of that
length of time. In all probability this
interposition of the executive is due
largely to the attitude of Judge Nc
Connell, who presided at the trial of
the condemned man. The following ad-
ditional message from Judge McCon-
nell was received by Attorney Hill
dreth this morning;
Having studied the matter over
night am satisfied that it is unnec-
essary for me to go to Bismarck. The
whole matter is in the hands of the
governor and he must act in the mat
ter. l have just sent him the follow
ing message:
That the writing in the black book
should be so minutely written before
hand, the absence of Ehrlichman on
both trials and the possibility of his
tampering with the black book, and
lack of Kent's motive are some of the
things that have often caused me to
hesitate and doubt. Many things oc-
CURED on the trial prejudicial to the
defendant, and it is hard to tell their
weight on jury in fixing the death
penalty"
1t will be seen that this telegram is
in itself strong plea for Communication
and urges reasons therefor which, COM
ing from the trial judge in the case,
are not to be lightly considered. 1t
would seem that Judge Mcconnell be-
lieves that it would not be right to
hang Kent upon the evidence given at
the trial, and his position in the mat
ter undoubtedly has great weight. AS
to what will be the ultimate result of
the case there is considerable specula-
tion. 1t is believed that if Judge Nc
Connell will present in person the rea-
sons which lead him to doubt the JUS
tice of the sentence, it means commu-
tation Of sentence for Kent.

WASHINGTON, Nov 11-Renewed
reports that the United States is about
to intervene in the Cuban conflict are

at the present time the United States

begun in October are about to go for
ward with greater energy than at any
previous time. Important results are
expected from this forward movement
within the next three weeks. There

l.. 5. Coffin, of Iowa, presented a
resolution which was adopted under a
suspension Of the rules urging the ban
1shment by act of congress of all saloon
licenses in the city of Washington, and
in all other places where congress has
control. The following committee was
appointed to present to congress the
memorial Of the Farmers congress un-
der course of preparations: Messrs B.
F. Clayton, of Iowa; T. j. Clary, of
Kentucky; w. B. Powell, of Pennsyl-
vaniam and William Lawrence, of Ohio.
The memorial which is to be presented
to the congress and which will be
adopted without change, is being writ
ten by Judge Lawrence, chairman of
the committee. The memorial covers
the whole subject of protective duties
relating to agricultural interests
The memorial will say that the Ding
ley tariff bill now pending in the SEN
ate unjustly discriminates in favor of
the wool manufacturer and against
wool growers. 1t insists that If the
Dingley bill is to be passed it shall be
amended in four particulars, to provide
first, that the skirting clause in the act
of 1890 shall not be applicable to the
bill; second, that the pledge that 1t
shall be continued in operation until
August, 1898, be stricken out; third
that the duties on woolen rags, shoddy
and adulterants shall be made prohib-
itory; fourth, that wool and wooden
manufacturers imported under it's pro-
visions shall not remain in bonded
warehouses more than ten days.

He also advises that an act be passed
at this session of the general assembly
providing for refunding the bonded
debt at maturity; considers the present
rate Of taxation high enough to raise
all the revenue required to meet -ex-
penditures; approves the attorney gen
erals recommendation that the carry
ing Of concealed weapons be made a
felony; that nothing else can suppress
the evil; recites numerous cases OF
lynching in this state in the last two
years and no one case shows that any
were hung for taking the law into their
own hands and makes some timely sug-
gestions to the Legislature in these
matters.
On the subject Of elections he says:
I'VE have too many of them. Moth
ing is 50 great disturber Of public
peace, good will among men and the
business interests of the country as
elections. We should have them less
frequently"
