MASON CITY, Ia, Jan. 21.-Women
made frantic efforts to gain admittance
at the Hughes murder trial yesterday.
The court room holds 200 and many
more than that wished to get in. Such
scramble ensued among the spectators
that the bailiffs had to assist in getting
them in line and in keeping them from
pushing down the banisters. Prof.
Walter /. Haines of the Rush Medical
college, Chicago, was the main witness.
He testified that he found two thirds of
a grain of strychnine in the stomach
and upon giving a small particle of it to
a frog it was dead inside of three min
utes. Milk curd was also found in the
stomach

MASON CITY, Ia, Jan. 19.-The testi-
mony that went before the jury yester-
day in the Hughes murder trial was
damaging to the defendant. The coun-
sci for the defendant and the state
counsel locked horns over the testimony
of the embalmer. He used uptinum
and injected it into the abdomen. 1t is
possible that the presence of strychnine
in the stomach is to be accounted for
by the defense in this manner. The
court room was crowded with women

An UnObIiEiHE Brother

In writing to us to protest against
the readiness with which criminals are
pronounced by public opinion to be
mentally deficient. "B. A. tells the
following extraordinary story:
"personally." he says. Il am ac-
quanted with case in which two sis
ters--the united annual income of
whose husbands is not less than $4,000
have for years been trying to per-
suadc brother incapncitated by i'll
health from work to commit suicide,
in order that they may be absolved
from yearly contribution of ESQ to-
ward his maintenance. AT first abso-
lutely refused to believe that such
heartless sclfiShness actually existed,
until | was shown letters from one Of
the ladies in question, which left no
further doubt in my mind.
"Yet," he adds "if these sisters were
to put an end to their brothers exist
ence, there would be hundreds to con-
tend that the motive Of pecuniary ben
eft was totally inadequate to account
for such a crime. which must conse
quently be attributed to mental aber-
ration. "--London Chronicle.

Decmng finer dress would betttr please,
Withdrew, and, while she taried. on the breeze
The lute's last echo vanished from the glade.
