Prosecution I'm the Hediey Murder Case

Carlinvllle, Ills. Feb. 25.-The states
attorneys sprung surprise I'm the
Hedley- Richards homicide case y he in
PRODUCTION Of the contract that Richards
and Hedley had signed at the sug
gestion OF a committee in relation TO
what they were each TO do and more
particularly as TO Hedleys conduct to-
ward Miss Ella Brown, a second cousin or
Richards and his typewriter. Richards
was in love with this young woman and
asked for her hand in marriage and
accused Hedley OF interfering in the
matter. The defense objected 10 this
document as testimony, and hot TIT
was had by the attorneys.
The court admitted II and now the
motives. malice and secrets in the case
will be unveiled to the public. Miss
Brown was i'm court and seemed much
Inundated that her name was to be
brought so unpleasantly before the pub
lie The defense insisted that the docu-
ment had nothing to do with the issue

publicity The state contended that the
motives and trouble Leading up TO the
tragedy must be known to the jury.

lect that one which contains the most nerve
nourishing properties. DO not take nerve
tonics. . They only stimulate, and the reaction
leaves you worse than you were before.

BIG RAILWAY CASE ON HAND.
Existence of the Joint Traffic Association
Depends ON the Decision.

Washington Feb. 25.-The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
began the hearing in the joint traffic
case, in which the United States seeks
to have the agreement on the part of
the thirty-one leading roads of the
country constituting the traffic associa-
ton as formed 1895 set aside and de-
clared null and void, and to have the
association enjoined from operating
under this agreement. The case has
proved to be the means of collecting
the most formidable array of counsel
on the side Of the defense that has been
seen in the court room for many a day.
Solicitor General Richards appeared
for the government. The time for the
presentation Of the case was extended
so as TO give the counsel for the rail-
roads four hours. making six hours for
the entire hearing. Richards opened the
case. He depended largely upon the
trans Missouri freight association case
as a precedent in this case, arguing
that there was practically no difference
between the agreement in that case and
the agreement of the roads which were
parties to the joint traffic association.
Richards was followed by Carter, for
the association, who spoke FOR the bal
ance Of the session. He will be fol-
lowed today by ex-senator Edmunds
and ex- Minister To England Phelps
Richards will reply.
