THE LAWRENCE CONTENTION.
Was the Election of City ofacials by
Democrats Legal?

Lawren ce, Mass, January 84.-Legal
complications will result from the joint
convention of the city government today.
The Democrats have control by one vote,
the aldermen being evenly divided. Both
branches voted this morning to hold a
joint convention but the time for it was
omitted. The order was adopted in con-
currenoe. The Republican aldermen re.
fused to 60 to she joint convention on the
ground that the time was not specified.
The Republicans named Friday night
and the Democrats recommended that
the convention be held at once. So -.
a The Repu ublicans would not consent.
The aldermen and councilmen sat in
their respective cham bers almost an hour
and. finally the Democratic aldermen
and ten Democratic and eight Republi-
can councilrnen went to joint eonven-
tion. Mayor Junkins and Aldermen
Low, Currier and Bedell refused to sit in
the convention. The Republican council
men tried to break up the convention,
but were not successful and left the r0ou.
in body. The Democrats elected city
clerk, treasurer, superintendent of streets
and several other officials. The Republi-
cans claim the convention was Illegal
and will make an appeal to the courts.
The Democrats say the convention was
legal and will attempt to install the
officials chosen.

property being attached to that amount.
1t is known that Webber went to Fair
field Monday morning, and 1t is further
alleged that while at thet place he pur-
chased 80 oalihre revolver. 1t is also
known that he had been drinking Mon
day afternoon and that when en- route
to see his wife about 4 O'Clock he was
heard to say: "I've got the material
to fix things this time, and by George
before l leave that wife of mine I'm 60
ing to do 1t.
His arrival at the house is recorded BY
his wife's namesake and his own little
daughter Zenora, tot of eight years,
who states that "papa come to see us
and was very nice for time and then
he said had things to mamma, but ha was
going to stay TO tea with us rs there was
plate put on the table tor him. Before
we had anything to eat papa took a pis-
tol out of his pocket and fired it and then
told mother ne was going to shoot her
and that frightened me. !"
AndSthat was all one could get this
little girl to say. But just how the
shooting first took place will probably
remain a mystery.
Coroner Edwards could but view the
remains of the husband. who In taking
his own life left nothing for jury O
do, and the remains were turned over to
George Webber,a brother of the deceased.

sci are preparing for one of the greatest

No stone will be left unturned to keep
Mate Bran from the gallows. Public
sympathy is with Bran. Hundreds OF
men are firmly convinced that there
was not evidence enough to convict and
they hoped for disagreement. Few per-
sons will openly declare that they be-
lieve he should have been acquitted. The
point in all discussions seems TO be, That
there should have besn another trial and
clearer presentation of the case. Bran g
mail, has been large sIhce sunday.
Cranks have sent him advice and s0g-
gestions, but he has tnrown aside ali
such communications ,fter reading.

communication to the Jail this morning,
requesting that no person except his
counsel be allowed to see Bran and that
no outsiders be permitted to talk with
the witnesses The latter cannot see
Bran, and he cannot talk with them.
The sailors are feeling quite we'll. They
get a good living ana as much or more

they will be allowed their liberty until
the case is settled The cost of the trial
to the government has not been far from
| $40, 600. A morning paper printed an
| interview with Harry Booth, one OF the
Bran jury, in which he was quoted as
saying that he and. he thought, four
others of the jury, were ready to sign az
affidavit that In agreeing to verdict OF
guilty, they voted against their cOnvic-
lions. An evening paper prints an IN
