The insurgent chiefs in the Phil.
ippines attended a festival at Ma.
lolos last week and Aguinaldo, the
would-be dictator, made a speech
in which he said:
Our friends, the Americans, came
for the purpose of demonstrating
the generosity and grandeur of their
government and to assist in reliev.
ing the people from slavery withou,
annexing the islands, thus setting
Il good example. We now under.
stand and appreciate the famous
Monroe doctrine of America 70,
Americans" and justice demands
that they add the Philippines 70,
the Filipinos."
1t is very evident that Aguinaldc
means mischief. He will not b.
satisfied with the establishment o.
a republican form of government,
on the islands which would result
from annexation to the United
States. That would prevent hin
from becoming dictator and be is

CHARLES NELSON ACQUITTED.
The Han Who Shot His Wifes So
ducer II Free.

0WVV4 - 4AVVe
Monday a jury Of twelve good
men pronounced Charles Nelson
innocent of the charge Of having
murdered Thomas NJ. Kerr on the
4th day of last June. The plea Of
counsel for the defense. was that
Kerr had seduced Nelson's wife and
that knowledge of the ruin of his
home, presented by q confession Of
the wife, had produced emotional
insanity, during the existence of
which the crime was committed.
The arguments were concluded
and the instructions of Judge
Stewart delivered by 2:3O and at
1885 the jury retired. It required
but little over half an hour to arrive
at q verdict.
When the words ':Not Guilty"
were spoken there was q burst OF
applause from the spectators and
q rush was made for Nelson, who
sprang to his feet and grasped the
hands of his attorneys, Messrs.
Hawley and Borah, and then the
outstretched hands of his friends,
who clustered about, most of them
women.
The closing address to the jury
on the part Of the defense was
made by w. E. Borah, who spoke
for two hours. It was q mastery
appeal and during it's deliverance
eight of the jurors broke down and
sobbed aloud. It is said to have
been one of the most impressive
speeches ever delivered to jury in
this state.
The Boise Statesman says: Mr..
Borah opened by stating that be
would not make any apology for
discussing those matters which the
state would denounce as an appeal
to sentiment, saying, "Those are
matters which constitute the case.
They are in this case and were the
controlling elements which moved
Nelson upon the 4th of June, and
| shall discuss them freely" Re-
ferring then to the defendants quiet,
honest, peaceable, upright life, be
said:
1.-The defendant comes before you
without q stain or mar upon bis
manly character. Honest, upright,
hardworking, no word of disparage-
nent has been or can be placed

home and of his life companion. y
Counsel denounced the attempt

ter of Mrs. Nelson, saying that they

sip and had found one dive where
her name had been cast about in
discriminatory and where it had
been said that her conduct had been
brought home to the defendent.
After reviewing the evidence on this
point with some bitterness toward
the witness counsel said:
but even if all the states insin-
uations were true, yet all the evil
dence shows that Nelson believed
none of these rumors and that be
still loved and trusted his wife, and
that when Kerr found Mrs. Nelson
she was the wife of the defendant,
in his home, supported by his daily

decree, What God hath joined to-
getLer, let no man put asunder.' ;"
The eloquent speaker threw the
whole force of his feeling into the
description of the emotions which
must have rushed through Nelson's
mind % he stood facing the seducer
Of his wife and the destroyer of his
home on that fatal day. It was at
this point that much feeling was
again manifested upon the part OF
the audience and the jury.
II am not speaking to you now"
continued Mr.. Borah, "of the home

paints, not the home which lives
only in song and story, where the
f1eeting shadows of life never come
