MEXICAN LAWYERS

Talk Learnedly About Mrs. Rlch's
Case. They Do Not Seem To
Think That She Will Be Severely
punished BY the Mexican Au-
thorltles And There Isn't the
Least Danger Of Capital Punish
ment.
The Mexican Herald which reached
here last night contained the picture
of Mrs. Rich as printed In the Ell Paso
HERALD some weeks ago and the fol-
lowing pertaining to her case;
Among lawyers in this city the ques-
ton of the extradition of Mrs. Rich is
exciting considerable interest.
A we'll known foreign lawyer prac-
ticing in this city said: Undoubtedly
the decision of the United States gov
eminent to surrender Mrs. Rich for
trial on the charge of numbering her
husband is high, but yet I think,
merited compliment to the criminal
Jurisprudence of this country. Mrs.
Rich was an merican citizen; but on
the other hand, SO was her victim.
has evidently been all along q disin-
terested wish to vindicate justice and
the law.
''Those who are working in favor OF
Mrs. Rich by trying to make out that
she is insane, or that she may not re-
ceive fair treatment in Mexico, etc.,
are mistaking both the point at issue
and the character of the Mexican peo-
pie. In determining whether Mrs.
Rich was to be extradited to Mexico,
the question of her being in her right
mind could not properly enter. The
questions which the United States gov
eminent was called to pass on were
practically three:
SIS there reasonable ground for be-
lieving Mrs. Rich guilty of the act i'm.
puted to her?
SIS that act included in the extradi
ton treaty between the two countries:
"As Mrs. Rich Is an American citi
zen, are there reasons of justice OF
expediency that warrant her extradi
tion (if deemed justifable in other re
spects) in spite of her citizenship?
"As to the two first points the United
States government simply followed the
opinion of its commissioner at Ell PasO
The third question it answered for It
self in the affirmative.
1.-THE question of Mrs. Rich's in
sanity is one that may properly be
brought up at her trial in Mexico
when she is brought back. The de.
Tense will be given every opportunity
of proving their contention. If they
deem it advisable to raise that point.
"As for Mrs. Rich's treatment. it i!
needless to cay that it will besmost kline
and fair and that every opportunity

Trouble Ahead.

at will now give you some cold
facts" shouted the campaign orator,
fumbling among the newspaper CLIP
pings and memoranda that lay on the
stand before him and finding some
trouble in laying his hands on the de-
sired documents; "some cold facts, he
went on, somewhat fiustered, with
which you can roast the life out OF the
f1imsy arguments that will dr1bble
through the-through the faucets OF
the hireling press that opposes the
election of our candidates. All, here
they are! Listen!"-Chicago Tribune.

Difficult to Stop.

Experiments seem to show that a
large ocean steamer, going at nineteen
knots an hour, will move distance of
two miles after it's engines are stopped
and reversed, and no authority gives
less than a mile to a mile and a half,
as the required space to stop its prog
ress. The violent collisions in some
cases during fogs may thus be account
ed for.

The lower house of the convocation

discuss the penalty that she would be
liable to. in case she is found guilty OF
simple homicide and if insanity cannot
be proved. 1 may draw your at
tention, however, to Art. $50 of the
Criminal Code of the federal district
and 1 presume that of chihuahua is
identical in this respect) which bears
on the case:
cart. 552. There shall be imposed
twelve years Imprisonment for simple
intentional homicide:
III. When committed by wife or
husband, except in the case of Art.
554.'
"Now this Art. 554 has most i'm
portant bearing on Mrs. Rich's case,
which her MEXICAN lawyers will of
course take advantage Of, If, as 1 sup
pose, the article is to be found also in
the chihuahua criminal code. 1t says:
-Four years imprisonment shall be i'm
posed on the husband or wife who, sur
prlslQR MS OF aGr m8C6 In Ln0 act OF
adultery, or in an act bordering on the
commission of adultery. shall kill either
of the adulterous ones.'
"Now 1 am not attempting to pre-
Judge the case in the least, but it is
obvious that, If Mrs. Rich's lawyers
are able to prove the fact of her having
found her husband walking with lewd
woman on the railway track, OF the
afternoon prior to the commission of
the crime, constituting AN act bordering
on adultery within the meaning of
the law, then Mrs. Rich's penalty
would be purely nominal as she could
be capable of reducing the four years
to two by observing good conduct in
her prison. The question is: What is
an act bordering on adultery?
''But whatever, the sentence may be.
she can reduce it to one half by good
conduct during her confinement
Moreover, women, especially foreign
women: are treated with great leniency
in Mexican jails."

MAY FIRES.
An Ancient Scotch Custom Which
Once Involved Human Sacrifice.

Once Involved Human Sacrifice.
Sir John SlnclaIr's statistical Ac-
count of Scotland contains notices OF
many old customs, which still contin-
ued to he observed in the Highlands,
though they were even then fast dying
out. From the eleventh volume Of that
great work. which was published in
1891 and the succeeding years, We
learn, on the authority of the minister
Of Callander, Perthshire, that the boys
of the township assembled In n body
upon the moors on May day. and pro-
ceetled to dig n circular trench, leaving
the soil in the center undisturbed. 80 Al
to form a low table of green turf, suf-
flcient in size to accommodate the
whole party.
They lighted a fire and prepared a
custard Of milk and eggs, and a large
oatmeal cake. which they baked upon
stone placed in the embers. When they
had eaten the custard, they divided the
cake into as many equal portions as
there were persons in the assembly and
daubed one Of those pieces with char
then placed all the pieces Of cake to-
gether In q bonnet, and each In turn
drew one blindfOlded, the holder Of the
bonnet being entitled to the last piece.
The boy who drew the blackened pOr-
ton was destined to be sacrificed and
WAS compelled to leap three times
through the flames.
Although the ceremony had degen-
Grated into a mere pastime for boys, 1t
is evident that It must once upon .
time have involved the actual sacrifice
Of a human being. in order to render
the coming summer fruitful.-Gentle-

r. BeashOre of Walker and j. w.
HOstetler of Beale, have been plac-
ed upon the ticket. 1t is a good
ticket The candidates are repre-
sentative men in the districts in
which they reside. They come be-
fore the people recommended as
successful in the conduct of their
own estates, and from what is
known of them, it is safe to say
that if elected they will conduct
their Office in a business-like and
economical manner There Wilt e
no penny wise and pound foolish
business in the Commissioners Of
flee, if entrusted to them. There
will be no cheese pareing, but an
honest economical administration
of the public affairs.
The nominee for District AttOr-
ney, Geo. L. Hover, was born in
Fermanagh township forty years
ago and was admitted to practice
law in 1890. He has been actively
engaged in practice since that time.
He is active, energetic and perfect
ly capable of conducting the Dis
trict Attorneys Office.
There does not seem to be any
doubt in the mind of the public as
to his election for the reason that
his opponent is considered weak
for the following reasons:
Ist. He is candidate for Sec
Ond term, which to say the least is
unpopular in Juniata county.
2nd. He has held Office all his
life, having once been Deputy Reg
lister 4 Recorder, then Postmaster
of MifflintOwn for four and one
half years, than Commissioners
Clerk for three years, then District
Attorney for three years and now
seeks a second term.
3rd. He has been charged with
being an encOurager of petty crim-
inal litigation.
These reasons and others will be
dwelt upon by us in full later in
the campaign as the occasion re-
quires.
For County Auditor we have
two worthy Republicans in w. N.
Keister of Greenwood and David
X. Ulrich of Monroe, both of
whom are capable of conducting
the affairs of the Auditors office,
and have the courage to stand by
their convictions. The voters of
Juniata will make no mistake in
placing these men in charge of the
office.
Eli Farleman the Delegate to
the State Convention is IA life long
from Walker township,
and will properly represent his con-
stituents at Harrisburg on the24t
inst.
W. L. Hopes, Esq, the County
is a resident of the cOun-
ty seat was elected without oppOs-
ition. and it is believed can gather
together the Republican party in
solid ranks so that the party will
be invincible in the coming cam
psign.
AS the future must be judged
from the past so one can safely say
the indications now point to the
success of the entire Republican
ticket.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

The ticket announced by the Re
publican return judge convention
last week is a strong one and is
we'll distributed geographically.
AS it has always been our Gus
tom in the past to give short
sketch of the ticket, we do not in
tend at this time to depart from
the beaten path and at time when
all things point to the success of
the entire ticket.
Not in many years have there
been go many expressions of salts
faction with a ticket as have been
heard in the past ten days. The
defeated candidates to their credit,
accept the situation philosophical
ly and are unanimously for the
victOrs.
1t was a free for all contest and
the most captiOus failed to detect
anything that savOred of machine
politics. 1t was contest that
would meet with the approval of
the ultra political refOrmers.
This being SO there can be no
good reason why the ticket should
not have the support of a united
party.
The first man on the ticket is
John +. Ehrenzeller of Fayette,
the candidate for County Treasu-
rer. He is a man well known to
the voters of Juniata, having been
the nominee of the party for the
same Office in 1898. He is a sub
stantial farmer and a courteous
gentleman and the capable man
ner in which he conducts his OWL
affairs is sufficient guarantee that
the Treasurer's Office will be con.
Quoted in the same business like
manner, if the people elect him tC
that important office. Mr.. Ehren
zeller will have a solid party be
hind him and has the experience
and ability to conduct a successful
campaign
Stiles X. BOden, the NOMINEES
for PrOthOnOtary is a Beale town
ship farmer; has good business
education and is capable anG
courteous gentleman, and will with
ability conduct the PrOthOnOtary''
Office. He will be a strong candi
date before the people and while
he has always been an ardent Re
publican, yet politics has not beel
his trade. His occupation ha
been that of a farmer and for man.
years he has added to that tn
teaching of school in the winter
He has reached the mature age o
fifty two and will recognize ant

Believing that the people wish t

fills that description and we bf
