BRYAN1S REGIMENT ACCEPTED,
HOIcOmb-A Missouri Regiment
offered to Bryan.
From the New York Sun.

Onered to bryan.
From the New York Sun.
Lincoln, Neb., May 31.-Gov. Holcombs
pertinacity in insisting that the two Ne
braska regiments now in service remain at
eighty-four men has won over Secretary
Alger, who sent him a dispatch this even
ing authorizing him 10 raise a regiment of
infantry under the second call. This was
in compliance with the request Of Gov.
Holtomb that instead of sending GO men
to fill the companies of the two regiments
already in service, he be permitted to send
a regiment which is being recruited w ].
Bryan will be commanding officer. The
Third Regiment, which will be sent, is
practically recruited 1t is very likely that
the twelve companies viii be modified at
some convenient point in the state within
a month.
Bryan had q message from Gov Stephens
of Missouri to-day offering him the colo
nelcy of the new Missouri regiment being
organized. Mr.. Bryan replied that he could
not ask for a better command than that
composed Of men of the well-known valor
of Missourians, but that he was not yet at
liberty to accept the offer He thanked the
Governor and said that little later he
might accept the colonelcy. II would de-
pend upon his chances Of leading the Ne
braska regiment.
Mr.. Bryan said privately that he still
had hopes of being in command of the
regiment he had organized, and that as it
was through his personal efforts that the
'silver battalion" had been placed in the
field. his first duty lay in that direction. If
by any deliberate act on the part Of Wash
ington officials he was deprived of this
command, ne would then go to Missouri
and lead that regiment.
In any event" he added, Il propose to
serve my country IN spite of any injustice
from official sources"

POSTLETHWAITE MURDER.
His Wife, Two Sons and Two other
Men Indicted.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 2.-The coroner
jury investigating the murder of w. C.
Boyd has brought in a verdict holding
Mrs. Nellie Postlethwaite. her oldest son,
Harry, and Jack Burreli as principals, and
Z. c. Clark, a lawyer of this city, ana
Clyde Postlethwaite, the 14-year-old son,
as accessories. Mrs. Postlethwaite had
testified that she killed Boyd, and that no
one else had anything to do with the
murder. Evidence showed that the wounds
which caused death could not have been
inflicted by the weapon Mrs. Postle thwaite
claimed that she used. The prisoners in
jail testified that they overheard Lawyer
Clark caution the boys that their mother
had weakened and that they should stick
to their story. All concerned have been
placed in Jail.

Rome, Ga, June "A very hot political
fight is being waged here between the pres

years, and a new ticket composed of far

The principal fight is on Vincent Sanford.

edly visited the house, but the case
against all three defendants was dis
missed.
Charges are pending against Fong Dip
Sam for the murder of Chinaman, and
Patrick H. Savage for murder commit
ted at San Pedro.
1t will thus be seen that the charges
against thirteen defendants for real or
supposed participation in eight murders
resulted as follows:
One defendant sentenced to be hanged,
three sentenced to the penitentiary for
life, two sentenced to long terms In
states prison, two were acquitted, one
succeeded in changing" the jury, instead
of himself and the charges against four
defendants were dismissed upon motion.
While these figures speak for them
selves. attention may be drawn to the
curious provision of the law in Califor-
mia which permits the jury in q murder
case, after determining the guiltiness OF
the defendant In the first degree to de-
eide whether the capital sentence shall
be carried out or the defendant imrriss
oned for life. What the intention OF the
lesislature WAS In aecarding : tury this

privilege it is difficult to say. 1t has been
suggested that the slowly increasing
sentiment against carrying into effect
the capital sentence moved the legisla-
ture to provide an alternative for jury
! men scrupulous in this regard. If this
actually Is the intent of the law, then
whoever may represent the district at
torney's office in prosecuting defend
ant on the capital charge should be de-
barred from putting one question which
is inevitably asked of every juryman
In such case, viz: "Have you any con-
scientious scruples regarding the inflic-
tion of the capital punishment" If a
juryman says that he has, the prosecu-
tion never fails to excuse him from the
panel.
On the other hand the permission ac-
corded jury of fixing the punishment
at hanging" or life Imprisonment" is
calculated to work hardship upon a
defendant, and this has been illustrated
during the past year. For instance:
Barthleman was sentenced to be hanged
for having shot down his wife in cold
blood. To illustrate the point sought to be
made 1t is not necessary to consider if
tACA 2 WEI z oily AAiti6dthiiS circumstances
set UP by the defense or not The ques-
ton Of generalization was somewhat OBJ
scure, but no doubt existed as to the de-
|liberateness and brutality Of the crime.
At a more recent date Ed Mechanism
was found guilty of having murdered
Mccoy Pyle, at Castiac switch. Put
ting aside all the incongruities and con-
tradictions that most have assailed the
minds of the jurymen before that de-
cision was arrived at, there remain
a series of facts which show Mechanism
in most heidous light. With the de-
liberation that must have been the re-
suit Of months of thought he planned
how he might inveigle his friend and
benefactor to remote spot and, after
working ruin in this friends home in
return for most consistent and persist
ent kindness, then shot him dead in
the early morning hours while he lay
peacefully asleep. For such ingenious
deviltry-for the jury so found it-Mc-
Camish Is to be imprisoned for life.

whose crime was less horrible, though ir
all conscience horrible enough, ought
not to have been sentenced to the more
onerous form of punishment.
THE CIVIL BUSINESS
During 1897 there were filed in the
Superior court of the county 1851 civil
and 534 probate cases. Of these quite 6
number are still pending and will come
to trial in one or other of the five de-
partments during this year. AS in the
early part of last year, however, a large
number of cases were brought forward
to the new year in the same fashion the
above number of cases approximates
closely the number of suits disposed Of
During the past year, too, there were
filed in the county clerks office papers
of incorporation the capital stock OF
which aggregated about S9O,574, 1926
Many of these new companies were
stocked for millions Of dollars, had only
hundreds subscribed, and probably
only cents actually paid into the treas
ury. While not serving as any particular
index to the business prosperity of the
community, except in an indirect way
the gross amount indicates the high
hopes of the incorporators.
THE BIRTH AND DEATH RECORD
During the year just closed 1912 deaths
were reported. giving a death rate OF
1877 per 1000 of population of the city
as compared with birth rate of 1862
living children. This excess of the birth
over the death rate is gratifying, when
it is remembered that the state of Cal
ifornia is the fifth on the list of states
showing a minimum increase in popu-
lation Of only 1874 per 1000, or nealy 10 per
cent less than that Of France, where II
is alleged that in 200 years the race will
become extinct.
OF the total unmber of deaths 80 were
from suicide, 81 males and females.
This mournful list goes to swell the num-
Der of those in the country who at
tempted to find "s-,rcease from sorrow''
in the grave. The rapidly increasing
frequency of suicide in the United
States, as well as in all civilized coun-
tries of the world. has attracted the
attention Of necrologists who are study
