murder in the first degree
and bound him over to the grand jury
without bail.
Bloomfield, Feb. 20.-(Special.) The
testimony taken before the coroner's
jury in the Sutton murder case, yester-
day, was as follows:
DIR. Beauchamp said that on hearing
OF the shooting Of Jasper Sutton he
Went and examined the body and
found three gun shot wounds; one on
the right border of the sternum, near
the. seventh. rib, going straight thru
the back; one on the left side about
eight inches from the sternum alSi{k
about the seventh and eighth rib aid
ranging thru the heart. The third
was on, the left side, just above the
edge of the pubic bone. Any OF the
three would be mortal. The only eve
witnessSso the shooting was Jamie Nc
Gowan. and his testimony was in line
with the. Others.
Mrs. Jasper Sutton stated that when
Leslie Eastburn came 10 her house
Sunday, She said: IF you marry Olive
you will marry her over my dead
body. ] told him had worked hard
to raise my girls and when they mar
ried they had tosgas..sry a man that
could support thernsoand,I i. said, ..Y u ou
don't support yourself.N
Pearl Sutton stated that he had come
over from his house with his father as
his mother had sent his Younger
brother for him, with the message that
Eastburn was there. IL stepped up to
Leslie and took hold of him and said:
Now you get out of here. You know
you are not wanted here Eastburu
made no reply and l grabbed him on
the shoulder and started towards the
door. Just then my sister Olive pulled
me loose from him. He stepped back
and put his hand on his pocket and
father said: Don't you shoot in here,
and then he (father) hit Eas1burn on
the head couple of times and showed
him out of the door. As, he and faith
er got out of the door, rushed for
ward and touched Eastburn's armand
just then Leslie drew his revolver and
said to me: L will kill you too Ny
sister ran out with Leslie and he said
Come on Olive; we will go and ges
married.
Eastburn has always borne good
reputation up to this time, and has
been considered the pride of the fam
lily. His father is an old man, and the
shock of his sons trouble has been a
terrible one to him. He was at the
Congregational church when the news
of the murder was brought to him.

Measure Will be introduced
in Iowa Legislature.
HOME FOR THE BLIND
Committee on Appropriations VIII He.
port q Bill to Abolish the Knoxville
lnstitution-Comm Discusses
Reformatory for Anamoss.

Des Moines, Feb. 22.-(Special Cor
spondence.) .)-It now seems probable
that within few days the house and
senate committees on public health
will offer committee bills providing for
the enactment of a ''pure food law. :"
The question has been discussed in
both bodies, and both have been fur
nished with copies of an exhaustive
paper on pure food legislation, writ
ten by Attorney General Remley. Mr..
Remley has devoted a great deal of
study to the question, and sets forth
some very telling arguments. A simi-
lar measure was introduced two years
ago, and after a hard fight was de-
feated. A majority of the house COM
mittee is in favor of pure food bill,
and it is thought such a measure
would pass the lower branch at the
present session.
To Abolish Home for Blind.
When the house meets tomorrow
morning the committee on appropria-
tions will report a committee bill pro-
vidiug for the abolishment of the In
dustrial Home for Adult Blind at
Knoxville. The committee canvassed
the question of adjustment thoroly,
and finally decided to accept the adj
vice of the board of control and do
away with the institution, which is an
admitted failure. The bill will pro-
vide for the discharge of the inmates,
and for their transportation to their
homes. Each will be given So in cash
besides.
Discuss Female Reformatory.
The house industrial homes commit
tee met yesterday and discussed the
bill which provides for the creation of
female reformasory for women and
girls over 16 years of age, at Anamosa.
Plans of the Anamosa buildings were
exhibited, and it was decided that the
buildings would be suitable if it was
decided to- establish the institution.
The committee favors the creation OF
the new reformatory, and there is no
doubt such a measure will pass in the
house. The committee has amended
the bill, providing that women con-
uHeu IoT SERIOUS O1eHSeS tOe kepU III
separate buildings from the less VIC
ious women and girls. Several other
features of the bill are not entirely
satisfactory and have been referred to
a subcommittee which will report
next week.
Legislators at Iowa city.
The legislature adjourned yesterday
until tomorrow, and fully half the
members are visiting the state univer-
sity at Iowa City. They left, many of
them accompanied by their wives, at Z
o'clock this morning, and will return
this evening. A large part of the leg
islature which did not go, to Iowa City
has gone home for Sunday, SO that in
dications are that the next two or
three days will be very quiet in the
capital. O. P. Newman.

Washington, Feb. 22.-(By Associat-
ed Press. 1.-The annual custom which

is the reading by some senator of
Washington's farewell address, immed-
lately after the reading of the journal
of the senate on Washington's birth
day. Several weeks ago, Foraker, SEN
ior senator from Ohio, was selected to
read the address. It was notable
compliment to him when the senate
convened today that all the public and
private galleries were crowded. An
unusually large attendance of sena-
tors was present and all gave close at
tention to Foraker's reading.
Foraker had scarcely concluded read
ing the address when Penrose,of Penn
sylvania, rose and called the attention
of the senator's to the announcement
he made yesterday concerning the call
ing up of the resolution involving the
right of Quay to a seat in the senate
as member from Pennsylvania. On
account of the absence of some of the
senator's Penrose gave notice that he
would call up the case tomorrow. Adj

The house began holding early ses-
ssions today, meeting at II o'clock, ow-
hing to the pressure for time in the
Porto Rican tariff debate. Mcclellan
of New York opened the debate, speak
ing IN opposition to the bill. Brantley
particularly on the future of the Phil
ippines.
Grosvenor of Ohio followed in sup
port of the bill, after which Mccall OF

member of the ways and means COM
mittee to dissent from the majority
report, spoke in opposition to the bill.
