CAPTURED.
William Henderson, a Local
Character nrrested.

The Prisoner Is Wanted for Alleged
Completely in the Robbery of the
Aged Bender Brothers
Near MassIIlon.

An important capture was effected
Thursday at New Philadelphia, when
William Henderson, a we'll known local
crook, was arrested. Henderson was
indicted by the grand jury of this
county last September for alleged bur.
glary and larceny. lie Immediately y
disappeared and was at large until yes
terday when he was seen at New Phila.
delphia. Henderson is known as bad
man to tackle and big brawny black
smith was impressed into the capturing
business. The blacksmith approached
Henderson and before he could pull his
revolver his arms were pinioned to his
sides with an embrace that suggested
the village smith with the iron bound
hands. Henderson struggled feebly
but soon came to the conclusion that it
was useless waste of time and energy
and he was soon behind the bars.
Sheriff zaiser was notified and at once
left for the scene of tie capture. He
returned with the prisoner this morn
ing and he occupies cell at the county
Jail.
Henderson, it is sllegel |, was one Of
the seven men who, on a dark night in
June, 1897, broke into tie home OF the
three bachelor brothers Bender, resid-
ing near Msssillon. The men were
beaten with clubs and robbed OF large
sum Of money. The affair was one of
unusual villiany and created great
sensation.

appear in court and bring certain dep,s 81
tions, one Of them being that Of Annie
E. George in the divorce case. 1t is not
known whether either of the parties has
the papers wanted, but they will hardly
volunteer to bring them in, and there
will probably be a resistance to the sub,
poens if it develops that they have the
papers.
Deputy Sheriff Mckinney reported to
Counsel Welty just after the noon ad-
journment that Mrs. NJ. @. Barber, who
had been subpoenaed to appear at the
trial, was too i'll to appear. She was
wanted simply as the executrix of the
estate of the late George D. saxton, to
turn over certain letters and papers.
While Squire Darr was on the stand he
was inquired Of as to certain letters that
were introduced IN a replevin suit in his
court. He said the letters were intro
duced in his court and that Geo, D. Sax
ton said he had written them. The letters
were published in the New s. Democrat at
the time, November, 1895, and are taken
from the files of the paper. Whether
they will be introduced in evidence is cot
known. The ones that were in the trial

offered you 81 900 if you would go befofe

Of your leaving him. Was that what the

THE AMENDED" JOINT REsoLU
TON.

The Joint Resolution provides
that "The municipal legis latlon OF
the Hawaiian Islands, not e.
acted for t fulfillment of the
treaties 80 extinguished, and not
inconsistent with this joint reso-
luton, NOR contrary to the Constitu-
ton of the United States nor to any
existing treaty of the United
States shall remain in force until
the Congress of the United States
shall otherwise determine"
TIE Advertiser states that
whenever a law has been duly
passed by Congress and approved
Of by the President, it rem aims 10
force until repealed as provided by
the Constitution. The President
cannot alter or nullify it,"and then
the Advertiser proceeds to alter
and nullify it by treating the pro-
vision therein nor contrary to the
Constitution of the United States"
as having been stricken therefrom
by some power greater than the
President Of the United States
provided by the Constitution"
Accordingly the Advertiser now
states the provision to be "the
municipal Legislation of the Ha-
waiian Islands not enacted for the
fulfillment of the treaties SO ex.
tinguished and not inconsistent
with this Joint Resolution shall
remain in force until the Congress
of the United States shall other
visa determine"
Considering that our Supreme
Court has in its late decisions
practically eliminated from the
Joint Resolution the provision
"nor contrary to the CONSTITUTE on
of the United States" it is not sur.
prising that the Advertiser should
expunge from the resolution this
provision.
The Joint Resolution having
been SO amended by the Adver
tiser, we presume that in accord
ance with the statement that the
original remains in force until
repealed, as provided for by the
Constitution" it has found some
constitutional provision for its
action in striking from the Resolu
ton the words"nor contrary to the
Constitution of the United States
and we confidently await the
publication of this provision OF
the Constitution comforting power
upon the Advertiser to "repesl
this provision.
