Bismarck, S. D., November 15.-An
interesting legal question is presented
aby yesterdays lynching of three Of the
SSpicer murderers. Two Of the men,
Holytrack and Ireland, were the
states witnesses and without their tes-
timony the state has no case against
the two surviving suspects, Black
hawk and Defender. There is there
fore now no possibility of convicting
them before any tribuna for the rea-
son that the states witnesses. self
confessed ~accomplices of the murder,
are dead. At the coming term of court
when the two men are arraigned for
trial they will be dismissed. The opin-
ion of a large number of people in En-
mon counties that Blackhawk was the
instigator of the crime. If he is dis
charged it is predicted that unless hi
has an escort out of the county he will
share the fate of his comrades in
crime. Defender, the other survivor,
has consumption and it is predicted
cannot i've a year. 1t is claimed that
the majority of the lynchers were from
Winona, where the crime was commit
ted, but nothing certain is known. Two
of the men hanged were wards of the
government and the lynching may
D bring about some action by the gov
z eminent to discover by whom they
were lynched.

Progress in Sealing Confere noes

Washington, November 15.-The
British Canadian and American dele
gates to the Behring sea meeting had
confidently expected to bring their
labors to a close today, but after two
arduous sessions, lasting until $50
o'clock this evening, the experts had
not been able to reconcile all .Aeir diff
f%erences. It was determined, there
fore, to continue the meeting tomorrow
Up to the time Of closing today the
experts had made good progress,
reaching an agreement on all but
three or four reserved propositions.
These, it is expected, can be agreed
upon during the morning session to-
morrow so that the expert report can
be signed, and the meeting concluded
so far as the experts are concerned.
This will make available all the data
necessary for considering the vital dip
lomatic question of stopping pelagic
sealing. The intention is that General
Foster, Sir Wilfred Laurier and Sir
Louis Davis will meet tomorrow after
noon to go over the results reported
by the experts and, if possible, agree
upon a basis Of settlement. The out
come of this diplomatic meeting con-
tinues to be much in doubt. It was in
timated today that the Canadians
might make a counter proposition, not
going as far as the american repre-
s%entatives desire in the way of limit
ing pelagic sealing. but yet offering a
possible ground for amicable adjust
ment.

Mexico, City, Mexico, November Is
Great crowds surrounded the grim old
prison at Belen and the vicinity of the
palace of justice this morning when thir-
teen prisoners. mostly ex-police officers,
implicated in the lynching Of Arnolfo Ar
royo, were taken through the streets in
wagons and coaches for trial. Shouts Of
kill them" were heard from the indig-
nant populace, but the prisoners were
well guarded by mounted and foot police.
The public prosecutor asked for the
death penalty on Villavicencio, ex-in-
spector, who suggested the murder to his
chief, Velasaye, the inspector general OF
police. who committed suicide in prison.
Villavicenio expected to escape with life
Imprisonment.
Manuel Belido, major Of police, is one
Of the principal criminals, as he was
privy to the crime and took no means of
preventing 1t. Miguel Caberoa, assistant
chief of the detective service, also knew
Of the projected killing and took no steps
to prevent it. Maurosanchex, policeman,
was guarding Arroyo and was aware OF
the intended crime and frightened up Ar
royo's straight jacket so he could offer
no resistance. Iglacio Pardaue led the
band of assassins. Capital sentences are
asked in all these cases.
The other criminals are of minor de-
gree, but some of them are likely to be
sentenced to death.
