THE Standard OiICoinpany,
the Sugar Trust, the railroad
companies, and nearly every
combine known to the people
of the country are making
more money than ever before
in their history. To this fact
is laid the claim of prosperi-
ty and to this alone. The day
laborer gets no more for what
he has to sell but pays more
for what he has to buy. The
man with money is prosper
Gus but the man without
money sees no more hope now
than he did a year ago. The
masses are gradually sinking
and they will continue to sink
as long as the government is
playing in with the money
power.

day, Mr.. Howe for the defense requested
that the question asked Thorn yesterday
as to the reading of Mr.. Howe's affidavit
in reference to the coming of the witness.
Peterson, from Germany, be stricken from
the record. as Thorn was not present
when the affidavit was presened anu read
before Judge Smith last October.
The Judge directed the stenographer to
strike out all references TO the affidavit
from the record and requested the jury
TO pay no attention TO 1t.
Mr. Howe then made an application tnat
the Jurymen be permitted co, &C to tne
woodside Cottage so they could pcr sonally
view the bathtub.

'bow impossible il would be for one
person alone 20 cut up the body as
described in bathtub of the size of the
one in the WoodSide cottage. without
marking the side Of the tub. p"
The peoples lawyers demurred, and the
court refused to grant Mr.. Hows's re-
quest. A few minutes later Justice Mad
dox reconsidered his decision and allowed
the jury To 40 TO the cottage, in charge OF
u squad OF detectives.
The inspection of the cottage occupied
but eight, minutes of che jury's time. No
one was permitted upon the premises dur
ing the time the jurors we're in the cot
tage There Is some discussion as tn
whether mistake was not made by the
court in not sending Thorn to Woodside
with ths jury. AT the time Mr.. Howe
asked that the jury be sent to Woodside
TO inspect the cottage. he said Thorn
would waive his rights Co 40 along with
the jury. Lawyers saw that the court Of
appeals has in a numb Der of capital cases
decIded that counsel has no right to
waive any of prisoners rights and that
tho action of Mr.. Howe may leave loop
hole for new trial in case Thorn should
be convicted.
When the party had returned to the
court house and Judge Maddox had re-
sumed his seat on the bench, Mr.. Howe
began 10 sum up for the defense. He
made much Of Mrs. Nack's alleged per-
fidy TO tho man sne prOiessed to love and
commented upon the fact that having
