Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1899-10-19

This decision OF House caused great
Indignation. The Journal commented
unfavorably upon it at the time, and
was surprised to be told by some good
lawyers that Houses action was in ac-
cordanoe with law. We then said If the
application of law led to such a mani
fest outrage and fragrant injustice
upon the public, then law is not what 1t
is defined to bel. e., a rule of right.
County Attorney butcher, of john.
son county, appealed this case, with the
result that some months ago the SUI
preme court reversed the House decis-
ion. Welsh's attorneys then asked for
MED by the supreme court in decision
handed down last Saturday. The Iowa
City Republican says the effect of this
decision is that the district court will
again try the case and that evidence
to support the three charges above set
out will be weighed by a jury. which in
the first trial Judge House shut out.
The case will come before the No
vember term of district court, but all
though County Attorney Zmunt avows
his determination to push it, by the
time decision is reached Welsh will
have served out his full term as Sher-
iff, ard as a private citizen will be be-
You'd the reach Of the court-so far as
his official acts are concerned. To hold
him in his office for his full term seems
10 have been the scheme of Welsh's
hackers. This is the democratic way of
doing things.

Jess Perry, a young man who has
been in the city Jail since his arrest last
Thursday for intoxication, developed
unmistakable signs Of mental derange-
ment Sunday night and was removed te
st. Bernard's hospital early Monday
morning. His condition is said to be due
to the excessive use of strong drink
and cigarettes. Until recently he hat
been employed in a local hotel and al
Sunday night he labored under ths
hallucination that his cell was an ele.
