TRIAL AGAIN DELAYED.
The Case Of Lord and Emery Post
poned Until the NOVenbe


West Plainfeld Wis, Jan. 7.-[Spe-
cial 1.-THE third trial of William Lord
and Charles Emery, who are charged
with the murder of Peter Houston, is not
TO begin January il, as has been an
nounced. The case will come off at the
November term OF. court in Marathon
county and VIII be neld at NWausau.
1t is one of the most famous murder
trials ever held in Wisconsin and will
cost Wood county a fortune. The muir
der was committed June 2, 1898, about
fourteen miles northwest of here. Peter
Houston was shot through the window
Of his own home that evening.
The first trial was held at Grand
Rapids Wis, in October, 1894. David
Jacobs, William Lord and Charles EN-
cry were arrested and Jacobs pleaded
guilty and went TO prison. Lord and
Emery were convicted and received life
sentences. They were granted new
trial which came off last November at
Wausau, but the jury disagreed. The
first trial cost Wood county $4,000 and
the second trial cost $6O54S1. The next
trial will probably exceed $4,000 and
Wood county taxpayers are beginning to
feel their burden.
The case has attracted wide attention
all over the state, and it promises to be a
difficult matter to draw jury for the
next trial.

ROSE Z0LDOSKI FREE.
One Of Gov. Uphcm's Last
Official Acts.
Governor Says She Should Have Test
fed in Her Own Behalf.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 4.-[special]-
One of Gov Upham's last official acts,
announced at 1920 o'clock this morning,
was to pardon Rose Zoldoski from state
prison, where she has spent the past four
years under life sentence for the alleged
murder of Ella Maly.
Gov. Upham states his reasons for the
pardon as follows: 81 do not question
the accuracy of the judgment of the
court 50 far as the grounds for that
judgment appear upon the record, but
there is good reason to believe that the
verdict Of the jury was Influenced ad-
versely to the accused by the fact that
her counsel, IL the exercise no doubt OF
a sound discretion, failed to place her
upon the stand as witness in her own
behalf. The law is that she shall not
be prejudiced by her failure to testify,
but this fact is necessarily very detri-

JUSTICE IS PERVERTED.
Judge Clementson Pronounces the
Release of Rose Zoldoski
an Outrage.

Lancaster, Wis, Jan. 5.-[Special.l-
The news Of the pardon of Rose Zol-
doski awakened great interest in this
city, where her trial was held and where
Senator C. H. Baxter foreman, and
several others of the jury who pro-
nounced her guilty, reside. 1t has
aroused much of the old feeling that
was so manifest here during and after
the trial.
Judge Clementson, the trial judge. was
interviewed and expressed himself as
follows:
''The pardon of Rose Zoldoski / regard
as a peryerslon Of justice and an out
rageous exercise of the pardoning power.
When the case was brought up for trial
before me had the impression that it
was Droba BILE that the state could not
produce sufficient evidence to warrant a
conviction When the trial was ended
| was, absolutely, convinced that Rose
Zoldoski was guilty of numbering ella
Maly with premedidated design and that
it was very probable that she had also
murdered Mrs. Mitchell, a year before,
by poisoning her, also with strychnine.
When the case went to the SUI
preme court that. court, was con-
WINGED that the testimony sustained
the verdict of guilty and affirmed
the judgment that [ had pronounced.
In fact there is not one whose duty it
was to hear all of the testimony upon
the trial, or to read it as preserved in
the bill of exceptions in the case, but
what was convinced that Rose Zoldoski
was guilty; | think it very probable
that Gov. Upham never read this testi-
mony, although it has been on file
in the governors office for the
last three years. If he pretend
ed to read it, he must have done
it in a hasty, perfunctory sort Of way
to enable him to say that he had read it,
but without obtaining fair understand
ing in the case. In granting this par
don Gov. Upham was no doubt entirely
influenced by those who were loud in
assertions Of the girls innocence, but
who really knew nothing of the case as
the evidence presents it.
Il regard this pardon as one that will
greatly add to the feeling that, is now
more general than for the good of the
community it should be, that our present
methods of dealing with criminals are in
adequate for the protection of the people
and that it will give another excuse for
the exercise of mob law"
