"a Dose of Carboiic Acid but spit IL out
Purpose of the Crime Supposed to Have
Been Revenge-Threats of Lynching
Were Freely Made at the Time.
Black River Falls, Wis. March A.
The trial on a special plea of insanity or
George Palmer the alleged murderer OF
Hazel Marshall, began in the circuit
SQUIRT Tuesday. b. j. Castle, attorney
for Palmer. presented his case to the
jury, after which District Attorney
George NJ. Poppam made statement.
The rest of the forenoon was occupied
In the examination of witnesses on the
part of the prisoner. tending to show
that he was insane. The whole Of the
afternoon session was spent in the ex-
animation of witnesses for the state. In
case the jury finds the prisoner sane,
and he does not plead guilty, he VIII
have to be tried by the same jury for
the crime of murder Much interest Is
taken In the trial of this case. and the
court room was crowded during both
sessions.
Palmer's Terrible CRIME.
On Oct. 81, 1896, Hazel Marshall, aged
about 4 years, the child of Oscar Mar
shall, a prominent farmer, residing in
the southwestern part Of the county,
near North Bend, was murdered. On
the day in question, Ii is alleged, Pal
mer coaxed the little girl into the barn
and without hesitation struck her twice
on the side of the head with the back
of an ak. The child was found by its
mother a short time afterward, shut up
in the barn. The little girl lived about
two hours. Palmer, after striking the
child ii is alleged. went into the barn
and got some carbolic acid, which he
had a short time before bought at the
instance of Marshall. He then went
into the ice house and took some of the
carbolic acid, but spit it out without
swallowing it, He was found there by
Mrs Marshall some time afterwards, ly-
ing down.
Talk of Lynching.
Palmer was Immediately arrested and
taken to Black River Falls. At the time
Of the murder, the whole country
around North Bend became so aroused
and excited over the affair, that If Pal
mer had not been taken to the county
seat at once he would probably have
been lynched. 1t was reported at the
time that movement had been formed
by a large company to go to Black XIV
err Falls in the night for the purpose OF
taking him out Of jail and lyncinng him.
but on account of heavy storm com
ing on al the time, it was abandoned.
, The defense will be a plea of insanity
The case will be prosecuted by George
M. Popham, the district attorney and
defended by b, j. Castle o. this city.
, No cause is known for PALMER killing
the child, but 1t is supposed that it was
done to avenge himself on the child's
| father. with whom he had had SOM
| trouble a short time before.

am sure hat the people of the state
generally, whose interest in the wei
fare of the schools is one with yours
and mine, will give their approval TO
the conscientious methods employed
by you in sitting the charges made.
| cannot but believe, however, that
your findings plainly show that the
methods of punishment employed in
the school, and what is of vastly more
Importance, the spirit in which they
were applied, have not been commend
able. 1t is not necessary to refer spe-
officially to these, further than TO point
out that in a number of instances you
express your ~disapproval of methods
and means of punishment repugnant
70 the human sentiment of the pres
approved by the students of reformato-
ry systems. Your findings show also a
number of instances in which violent
anger was displayed by those in charge
in the work of disciplining certain re-
fractory inmates. 1t is not so much,
allow me to say, the specific cases
which you point out, of unwise punish
ment, which is important, as the fact
that the superintendent and some Of
his subordinates have seemed to lack
that s~elf-control which is necessary
in those having charge of public in
situations of this kind. 1t cannot be
too strongly emphasized that however
worthy of confidence otherwise they
may be, however generous of heart,
they who cannot exercise such control
over themselves as to be able to apply
necessary discipline calmly and with
out anger, are not the proper persons
to have charge of the youth in a re-
formatory institution. | am forced,
therefore, because of your findings,
and in view Of the fact that your board
has construed the law which requires
the submission of the report of an in
vestigation to the executive to mean
that the latter shall make recommen-
dations based upon the findings of the
board, to recommend to you that a
change be made in the management
of the industrial school for boys at
Waukesha.
Respectfully yours,
