A scIwp of History.

To the Editor OF The Post.
Lay, Texas, April al notice corre-
spondent of The Post, writing from Dali
las, takes issue with you upon recent
editorial defining the laxity Of the law
in cases where capital punishment is
sought to be inflicted, and the writer calls
to his assistance the closing speech OF
Crittenden of Kentucky in defending a
man tried fer his life in that State long
years ago. The allusion to this particu-
lar case was not an apt one on the part
of the correspondent as to why mercy
should be shown to the willful murderer;
for IL ever there was case where JUS
tice was perverted and the criminal al
lowed TO go scot free 1t was In the case
alluded TO.
Away back in the sos, Noble Butler was
principal OF the Louisville thyD nlgh
school, and among his pupils was Wine
Ward. son of Robert j. Ward, at that
time one of the wealthiest and leading
citizens of that famed State. Professor
Butler chastlsed young Ward for some
well-merited infraction of school rules,
and the following morning his brother,
Matt Ward, entered the school room ana
deliberately shot to death Professor But
Ter, and all his wealth and family IN
fiuence could not shield Ward from the
Just indignation of an outraged commune

town, in Hardin county, where, after
trial lasting more than three weeks. in
which the ahlest legal talent was enlisted,
both for the prosecution and defense, Matt
Ward was acquitted. John j. Crittenden,
then United States Senator. Hon, Nat
Wolfe, considered one of the ablest criml-
nal lawyers OF his day. were employed In
the defense, greatly aided by George d.
Prentice with his world-relowned news
paper, tho Louisville Journal. Hon. r.
B. Carpenter Of Covington conducted the
prosecution, After the verdict was known

The agricultural department has

caterpillar that has been working such

| tary Mckeen is away on business. So
his clerk, Miss Rena Winslow. has
been doing a little investigation on
her own account. She has obtained
specimens of the insect and has
watched its habits in the fruit trees
With her knowledge Of the insect life
and the reference books that are at her

sect is what is known as the forest
tent-caterpillar.
The habits Of this insect are de-
scribed similar to the pests of the pres
ent spring. They work on the annie
trees and do not build large tents. but
often erect little ones. close to the
bark. They are very injurious to the
tree and work on them from the first
or the middle of May. To the middle of
June. In addition TO the spraying
remedy. a very simple one is given
that it seems several of the fruit tree
raisers in this part Of the State are al
ready doing. After clearing the tree
as clean as possible of the pests and
removing the eggs wherever found the
man ties strip OF cotton flannel about
three inches wide about the tree. This
will prevent them from gaining access
to the tree, as they are so con-
structed that with their pronged legs,
they cannot climb the cotton flannel.
The complaints of their work are
heard Of on all sides. and doubtless
the spraying calendar and the further
treatment of the subject that was
given in an early bulletin of the agri-
cultural department. was OF great
benefit To the farmers Of the State who
