A MORDER CASE
D. c. Eastman Put On Trial
Today.
Brief Resume Of an Important Murder
Casa legal Case Which Re-
suited Fatally.

One of the most important murder
trials in the history of the state open.
ed this morning at Parsons, Tucker
county, when T. G. Eastman war
afraighed for the murder of Col.
Thompson, member Of one of the
richest families of that section.
An array Of legal lights have been
obtained by the parties to the litiga.
tion and a determined fight will be
made. In all there are Is attorneys
retained by the two sides, including
the leading criminal lawyers of the
state, Mr.. John A. Howard of Wheel
ing will assist the prosecution and
Col. w. w. Arnett will be one OF
those assisting the defense.
Previous unsuccessful attempts
have been made to get Eastman to
trial, but the time has been wasted
over technicalities. This time how
ever, Attorney Howard states that
they expect to get a jury and try the
case on its merits. The prosecution
intends to push it to the bitter end,
and hang Eastman if possible. The
Indictment calls for murder in the
first degree.
The alleged murder grew out of a
legal quarrel in which Lloyd Hansford,
the Tucker county delegate to the leg
islature, was concerned. Hansford
took an appeal from a decision by
Judge Holt and secured a petition
asking for it, signed by 80 others. All
were fined five and costs for contempt
by the judge.
This lead to the creation Of two fac
tions and finally resulted fatally. On
a railroad train Thompson was travel
ing towards Elkins. Eastman enter
ed and it is said ordered Thompson
out OF the car. 1t is alleged that
Thompson then arose with a gun in
his hand, but that before he could
raise it Eastman had shot him, the
latter having pistol in the side
pocket of his coat and firing before
Thompson knew he was armed.

the recent election in Maryland. The
official count Of the legislative vote
in that State shows that change
Of thirty-nine ballots would have
given the Democrats the legislature.
The fate of one delegate hinged upon
three votes. In Ohio some wears
ago ex-Gov. Campbell, then a candi-
date for Congress, was elected in a
district with a total of over forty
thousand votes by majority of one.
A few votes in Ohio this year would
have made it impossible for Hanna
to have been returned, and while
the figures are not quite so >elose as
those in Maryland, a very few more
votes for the Democratic Legislative
ticket in three or forg close cou -
would have sent a Democrat q
Senate in place Of Hanna or
her Republican.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, November p
While here this week looking after
legal business in the q. S. Court, e.
S. Internal Revenue Collector A. b.
White, Of Parkersburg, launched his
Senatorial boom by giving his friends
To understand that he is in the field
for seat in the U. S. Senate to sue
coed Senator Faulkner.
Since Governor Atkinson broke in
and left the bars down, a number OF
Senatorial aspirants have either come
into the field or are laying their plans
TO do so. 1t seems that Mr.. White
has it in for Governor Atkinson, and
is determined that he shall not have
the race for the Senatorship all to
himself The primary object of Nj.
Whites candidacy, it seems, is to de-
feat the Governor, his own election
to the Senate being only secondary.
During the contest for the collect
orship Mr.. White pledged his support
to Congressman Warren Miller. of the
Fourth district, for the Senate 10 re-
turn for Mr.. Miller's support of Mr..
White for the collectorship. If this
pledge holds good, Mr.. White cannot
honoraDly be in the race against War
rem Miller. Mr. Miller will not be a
candidate or reelection. He and
State Senator James A. Hughes have
an understanding by which Mr.. Mil
Ter is to decline the nomination, throw
his influence to Senator Hughes and
secure him the nomination for Con-
gress in the Fourth district. This
having been accomplished, Mr..
Hughes is to use his influence in OBJ
tanning votes ia the Legislature for
Miller for the nelatorship. These are
some OF the agreements up to date,
and taking things into consideration,
it is evident that Mr.. Whites candi-
dacy for Senate is not for the purpose
particularly Of securing the honor for
himself, but to secure it for Warren
Miller, or more properly speaking, to
defeat Governor Atkinson. From
the manner in which things are shap-
ing upit looks as if it will be Gov
ernor Atkinson against the field, for
there are several other Republican
candidates for the United States Sem
ate besides those named.

Circuit Court held last night, dissolv-
ed the injunction of A. Armstrong
against Sheriff Jenkins preventing
the collection of certain county taxes,
by which Mr.. Armstrong claims the
county court, in laying the levy, went
beyond its power. The injunction
was granted the oath October, since
which time the sheriff has been I'M
able to either collect taxes or pay
county orders. Many are the COM
plants from the various teachers in
the county, who hold from one to
three months pay against the Sheriff
and are unable to get a cent. Mr..
Armstrong is taking steps to appeal
from Judge Hollis decision, and
should he do so no county orders or
county officials will be paid for sever

A CARNIVAL OF CRIME.
West Virginia Defenceless
Against Her Criminals.
No Requisition can be Issued no matter
how HeiNous the Crime Discovery
Made BY Morgantown Lawyers he
Result or Extravagant Junkets-A
Predicfigg Verified.


Some time ago complaint was
made by J. C. Daagherty, of Beech
hurst which has revealed startling
condition confronting the state The
complaint was against William
Bealls and wife who are charged
with grand larceny. They swiped
thirty dollars in money and skipped
going to Uniontown.
The prosecuting attorney made
application to the governor for a re
QUESTION for the return of criminals.
The reply from the governor is sim
ply startling. He stated that he
would be very glad to issue the re-
QUESTION but was unable to do so in
any case no matter what crime had
been committed on account ola ruling
made by the auditor. The auditor
has ruled that the costs in such
cases could not come out of the
criminal costs fund. but must be
paid out of the governors civil con
tingent fund.
This ruling may moi seem knock
out to acquisitions until it is re
membered that the civil contingent
fund is the one which has been ex-
pended by the governor and staff in
riotous living. Out of this came Col.
"Mose' Horheimers $40 board b i'll
in New York. From it has come the
expense of gorgeous array of tinsel
and gold lace which has carried the
splendor and magnificent grandeur
of West Virginia to the most dis
tant chimes. But the continued as
saults on the fund have proved too
tmueh for its vitality. 1t is now
completely exhausted Not a cent
remains. OF course it is sad to think
that these junkets must cease Our
boundless resources can no longer
be exploited properly but there is a
graver source OF dismay.
West Virginia is now at the mer-
cy of her criminal population. No
matter what crime a man commits
if he can get into another state be-
fore West Virginia officers can catch
him he is safe. 1t is an open bid for
the commission of any crime. Such
o condition is almost too horrible
for belief but it certainly exists. No
relief can come of it until the legis-
lature meets in regular session more
than year hence In the meantime
crime can run riot in cur state and
if the criminal can get into another
state quick enough he can laugh at
his pursuers.
We can under our extradition
laws get criminal from Australia
but once in Fayette county, Pa. he
can not be brought back.
The governor has had good time.
That is his business. The state
must suffer for it. That is the bus
mess Of the voters and they will rem
edy that and do it with great deal
of vehemence When we first called
attention to the lavish way in which
this fund was being squandered we
gave the words of the auditor, "Some
of these days there will be one of the
grandest little young hells kicked
up down here that was ever heard
of The show has commenced.
Other interesting performances will
be given from time to time.

The assault upon the constitution
has failed.
The efforts of Speaker Hanen and
his crowd have been vain.
They have had their commission
appointed to revise the constitution,
they have drawn their LAY from the
State for long and useless session
and have cut and slashed the consti-
tuition and proposed amendments for
the people OF the State TO vote upon,
but their work has ended there.
There will be no special session of
the legislature this winter. The re-
port of the constitutional commission
will probably never be acted on by
the legislature and certainly not I'M
til after the next election has occur
red, at which it is not probable that
the report of the commission will
even be an issue.
The Governor, who has been oppos-
ed from the start to a revision of the
constitution by such men as were Sc.
lected for the purpose from the last
legislature, has repeatedly declared
and still declares that he will not con-
yene the legislature in extra session

Three-tifths of the members elected

those who, for reasons OF personal
profit or other reasons, desire special
session, that the requisite number
were in favor of calling 1t. But this
is not the case.
What ever may be true as to the
house of delegates, it is certain that
nothing like the necessary three

WORK HAS BEGUN.

Mcdonald On the Scene.

When Mr.. Q. |. Mcdonald the
contractor of Pittsburg, who has the
building of the new locks and dams in
charge, announced that he was going
to begin work on two of them at once,
but few thought that he would begin
before spring. However, they were
mistaken. Dirt will begin to be
moved on the two center locks within
few weeks. The preliminaries are
already under Roadway.
Superintendent Dickerson has been
busy near Little Falls for the past
two weeks getting options on land on
which stone quarries are to be opened,
and attending to other preliminary
work. Within few days he will be-
gin to hire men to go to work on the
locks. One hundred men will be en-
ployed on each lock.
Mr.. Mcdonald is also at little Falls,
having come up to. day to look after
his interests. He is DESTROYS of finish
ing the contract within three years
and will push the work with all pos
sible speed. The central dams were
selected to begin on as they are closer
together than any other pair, and are
the most convenient base of opera
tions. Material and tools can be
transferred from them to the others
with greater ease than from any other
base.
Before work can begin on the dams
proper, a vast amount of work must
be done. Shantics must be built to
house the laborers, sidings must be
put in and road is to be built from
one dam to the other. They are about
two miles and half apart. Their
exact location has not yet been deter
mined upon, but it has been decided,
to within one hundred feet of the
place. They will be completed some
time next year. During next sum-
mer early in the season, work will be
started on the other dams and they
Viii be built right away. Mr.. Nc
Donald is an experienced contractor,
having done considerable work for the
government, and he will lose no time
unnecessarily. He constructed num-
bers and s on this river, and built
several dams on the Kanawha river.
