no deaths have occurred either

guments of counsel were tran

commandment, "Thou shalt not

Pickett's argument was funeral
grafton, that of Mr.. Reid was a
4th OF July speech. The State
prosecuted to defend society. The
testimony of Long convicted him
self, for Long was no child to be
led astray; he is a full grown man
with power to discriminate, and
he chose Larrabee as his friend and
associate in drinking and gam
bling. With the old sore ranking,
he asked Murphy, Childs and Ell
bridge for gun, and returned to
Larrabee's for a settlement. When
they went out, the first thing
heard was the blow and the cry of,
"What are you trying to do to
me?" Of the dead man. He did
not want compromise verdict;
the only verdict covering the case
would be murder in the first de-
gree; any other verdict would just
ify them in throwing out the
courts and go back to the old law
of "might is right" The first
blow struck by Long was a stab in
the back, and then, as deceased
turned, deliberately stabbed him
to his death. He showed premed-
itation in Longs actions. He was
not intoxicated for every action
showed how cool and calculating
he was and when all other means
had failed, he resorted to the
knife. Long was not afraid Of
Larrabee, as was shown by his re-
turn, and then Larrabee talks of
him in friendly way and telling
him that he could have anything
he wanted i'll the saloon. Four
witnesses corroborate Fairbsrn
about the cigarette paper; man
who is rolling cigarette is not
fighting at the same time; when
the witnesses run out they find
Long following Larrabee up, who
is backing away; then he meets
McEvoy, Childs and Blevins, and
with Larrabee's blood fresh on his
knife, he tells these men that,
'Larrabee struck me and took my
chips and l handed it to him,
and l fixed him." Mr.. Scales
then went into the question of the
different knives. The best evi.
dence was the hloody garments.
He asked for a. verdict of murder
in the first degree and closed.

DISTRICT COURT CONvENES
And Once More the Men Who Have
Held Themself Superior to
the Law Bow Down.

The March term of the district
court of Allen county opened Monday
morning The morning was spent by
the court In fixing.up the docket and
setting cases for trial. There was
long list ofall kinds of cases, the ma
jority of them set over from the last
term of court. There is n large batch
of liquor cases, some of which have
not awaited trial in this court but
have gone direct to the source Of all
authority, the Appellate court Some
cases were dismissed, some set for
hearing before court and some con-
tinued.
In the court room was a goodly ar
ray of lawyers. Popular opinion sets
the legal fraternity down as a sort of
public vampire, but the Allen county
bar is not so bad. On the list are
two ministers and the clerk of the
court is an ex-minister. Among the
fraternity the majority are well
known to be connected closely with
one or another of the churches of the
city. They are a good clean set of
men and the city ought to be proud
of them.
Several minor cases were heard by
the court today but the grind will not
begin until tomorrow. At that time
the following cases will come up:
State VS.. Woodruff, charged with
selling liquor at Savonburg.
State vs.. Jack O'Mearn, charged
with selling liquor.
State vs. Claude Culbertson, con-
tempt OF court, he having failed to APP
pear against one OF the joinlisls when
summoned.
State vs.. Frapk Horvle, same as
above
State VS. He's. same as above.
State vs.. Jno Har', violation of the
patent right laws.
The grind is on and he must be
exceeding fine who would pass
through the mill untouched.
LATER:-A number of cases were
submitted to court this morning
Among them that of f.. /. Pearson
charged with forging the signature
of an Ottawa organ man toa note.
The note was never found and the
case dragged through two terms of
court, Peason meanwhile languishing
in Jail. The action was dismissed to-
day and Pearson given his liberty.
All the old liquor cases were con-
tinued, under the habeas corpus from
the Appellate Court, to the next
term, except those of Harlan and
