TO ARREST MAY BURNETT.
The Woman Who Swore She Saw q
Man on the Roof Will Be
Held for Perjury.

"a warrant was issued this forenoon
for the arrest of May Burnett, the Wo-
man who testified in the Collins case
that she saw man on the roof of the
Collins kitchen on the morning OF the
murder.
out at O'Clock that morning hunting a
house and passed by the Collins resi-
dence and saw a negro on the roof. me

was made out of whole cloth and that
she was not in Topeka on the day OF the
murder.
She will be arrested on the charge Of
perjury.
Will Appeal the Case.
eve will take the case to the highest
COURT said Attorney Hayden after
leaving John Collins Saturday night.
IF Judge Hazen overrules our motion
for a new trial it will Immediately be
appealed to the supreme court and am
confident that court will reverse the de-
cision of the district court.
I can't see how the jury was able to
render such a verdict" said Mr.. Hay
den 1.-The boy is innocent of the murder
of his father and the verdict is all
wrong. 1 was never so completely
knocked off my feet as 1 was when
heard it."
Mr. HAYDEN had not gone a half a
block after leaving John Collins at the
Jail when he met Attorney A. A. GODDARD
who was Fastening toward the court
house. The two attorneys STOOD on the
street and consulted for a few minutes
and then went to Mr.. Godard's law office
where they spent several hours talking
over the verdict and looking up the
law for the motion for a new trial they
expect to file. Mr.. GODDARD was more
emphatic in his announcement of the
verdict than had been Mr.. Hayden.
That Judge Hazen will override the
motion for new trial is almost certain.
He has watched the case carefully with
a view to keeping out anything that
would be a legitimate ground for new
trial, and he thinks he succeeded.
In the event the motion is OVerruled,
Judge HaZen will pronounce the death
sentence on John Collins, and unless his
attorneys are fortunate enough to save
him some legal technicality he will
have to go to the penitentiary pending
the result of the appeal
The death sentence in Kansas of course
means imprisonment in the penitentiary
for life.
1t was through no fault of the attorneys
for the defense that John Collins was
found guilty by the jury. They fought
the case stubbornly from start to finish.
Mr.. Hayden even excepting to many of
the remarks of County Attorney Jetmore
in the closing speech.
While they do not care to take it that
way, the result of the trial is a triumph
for County Attorney Jetmore, Attorney
Harry Stafford and Deputy County Attor-
neY Cfalen- Nichols. They have worked
hard in presenting the states case. and
their work was mastery from the start.

THE OREGON OYSTER.

Hon. II. Il. Klncald, secretary OF
state, is deeply interested In perpetu-
atiug TO Oregon the superior native
oysters, and especially one particular
variety that grows at Yaquina bay,
aud which Ia believed by all who are
familiar with its rare flavor to be the
best oyster In the world. 1t is not
known TO grow In any other waters,
aud should be cared for. Mr.. Kincaid
has been urging State Fish Commits
sloner Mcclure tOgive this matter his
close attention, aud the latter seems
to be thoroughly agreed with him In
its Importance. Under date OF De-
cember IA, Mr.. Mcclure writes the
secretary as follows:
"Referrlng to that part Of the letter
in regard to the native Yaquina bay
oyster, which you say Is much more
important than the propagation OF
imported oysters which can always be
obtained, while the better Favored
oyster can never be restored when 1t
becomes extinct. beg to say that l
entirely agree with you and moreover
1 am OF the opinion that 1t will be
impossible to establish the eastern
oyster in our waters. That is to say,
do not belieYe we will ever be able
to successfully propagate them here.
This fact seems to be established from
the experience OF oyster men In San
Francisco bay during the past twenty
years, notwithstanding Prof. Wash
burns statement to the contrary"
The fish commissioner expects 10
submit a bill TO the legislature look
ing TO the protection OF this valuable
native bivalve, thanks TO Secretrry
Klncaid.

The Monmouth inquirer., 1898-12-29

The Monmouth County Telephone
company are having trouble OF their
own in putting up their line from
Shrewsbury to linton Falls and as q
result of their trouble E. For1nan
Taylor of Colts Neck, one of the Com
pany which controls the linton Falls
turnpike, has been arrested for defac-
ing the poles.
The trouble came abort last Wed
nesday morning. Manager Atkinson
and force OF men were planting the
poles along the turnpike when Taylor
drove up and began TO chop down
the poles. As the company had So
cured rights from the farmers TO put
in the poles they attempted to stop
him from ehopping them down.
One Of the telephone eoJnpanv's EN-
ployees says that Taylor pulled re-
volver on him when be attempted to
demonstrate with him. He Succeeded
in chopping one pole down and
| mutilating several others before he
was stopped. Chief Walsh was in the
vicinity and saw the greater part os
the proceedings. When he appeared
on the scene running fight was in:
progress between Taylor and -thea
telephone worknen. TAYLOR would
run to pole plant his axe in it and
by the time one Glow was struck the
men OF the telephone gang would
pull him away from the pole He
would then run tc the next pole and
the same scene would be enacted
Manager Atkinson came to Red Bank
end swore out warrant for TayIorss
arrest On the charge of defacing and
mutilating the poles. Taylor claims
that the turnpike company own the
| land ON which the poles are being
planted and further states that the
telephone company promised to pay
| for the right of placing the poles at
the rate of $40 pole which they fail
ed to do. The telephone company
claim that the deeds held by the
| farmers, upon whose land the poles
are being planted. mark the middle Of
the road as the division line of The
land.
TAYLOR was arrested Wednesday af-
ternoon by constable STRIKER and
4, taken before Justice Child to answer
to three charges Two were for pull
! ing pistol on two of the telephone
\ company employees and the other
was for mntilating the poles. He was
held under $500 bail on each charge.
He made counter charges against Geo.
Stewart and William Simmons for
assault and battery They were held
lin 800 bail each Taylor furnished
bail and Immediately drove oat to the
linton Falls road and cut another
pole down.
Matters are quiet along the turn
pike at present and it Is not probable
4 that any work will be done until the
court have settled the cases now
pending.
