AGNES UTLEY HELD FOR TRIAL
Magistrate Finds Probable Cause in
Poisoning Case.

agnes Utley was bound over to court
yesterday ON the charge of attempting to
poison Mr.. II G.. Bachelor, a bar-keeper
ON Martin street, and his family, by
putting matches in the coffee Sunday
night. She lis young negro girl, em-
ployed as a cook at Mr.. Bachelors.
The girl had a preliminary hearing on
this charge yesterday at noon before
Justice of the Peace Roberts. The pros
ecution was represented by Mr.. j. O..
Ia. Harris and the defense by Maj. Nj.
A. Bledsoe. Only three witnesses were
put ON the stand, all of them for the
prosecution. No evidence was introduced
by the defense.
Mr.. Batchelor testified to the fact that
the girl cooked for him; that he told
her to make fire Sunday morning, and
She declined to do so, saying me didn't
know how to make a coal nre; that he
thereupon told her if she couldn't do
what she was ordered to do she could
leave, and that she did leave Sunday
about moon. He judged from her de-
meanor Sunday morning that she left
in a bad humor.
Isaac Battle, an old negro mani who
works at Bachelors, said he cooked
supper Sunday night for the Bachelors,
as was his custom in the absence of the
cook. He made the coffee This was
done by putting ground coffee into the
pot, then pouring in hot water. He saw
no matches in the pot at the time, but
Mrs. BatchelOr later showed them to
him. He did not know who put the
matches into the pot.
Deputy Sheriff Olmstead, who arrested
the Utley girl Sunday night, said he
first went to her house, but she was
not there. Her people told him she
was at church and he went there. But
the girls mother and other members
Of the family beat him there and told
the girl the officers We're after her. AS
he arrested her she denied, before he
had read the warrant, or told her of
the charge against her, that she made
the coffee Sunday morning; She said that
Uncle Isaac Battle made it.
With this testimony both sides closed
their case. Thereupon the coffee pot,
which has been in the magistrates pos
session since the matches were found in
it, was examined. The coffee-about
-pint-was poured into a pitcher and the
grounds" i'm the bottom of the pot were
emptied out upin a piece of paper. There
was a very large quantity of these and
in them were found p matches and a
pasteboard matchbox.
Upon these facts and in the absence of
any evidence by the defense, the magis-
trate held that there was probable cause
and he bound the girl over i'm a 500
bond for her appearance at courk here
next week.
Not being able to give the bond the
girl was sent to Jail. She DIS young,
half-witted negro, and it is generally
believed that she is not proper object of
punishment.

teen months later he was added to the
chemical staff of the Experiment Sta
tion. During his connection with the

Circles authorized financial agent, is
laboring hard and late to bring the pile
up to the six thousand dollars which will
be needed to complete a suitable building.
There is reasonable hope that when the
ladies have raised the necessary amount
for the house, some real philanthropist
will donate a plat of land. The past ex-
perience of st. Luke's Circle is not
without justification of this hope.

ture plans and aspirations, can be had

Blake, Mrs. II. S. Leard and Mrs. j.

unceasing energy of these ladies and
their co-workers of the Circle that the
success and usefulness of this truly bene-
ficent work is due.

Congressman Barthold, of Mis-
souri,, is urging Congress to pass
a federal election law to overcome
the vicious legislation in many of
the states controlled by Democrats
where that party seeks to perpetu-
ate itself in power regardless of
the will of the people as expressed
by the ballot. Mr.. Barthold points
out the danger of these unjust
partisan measures by showing that
they have their influence upon
federal as we'll as state elections.
He represents the situation clearly
and forcibly by calling attention to
law in Missouri which gives the
election machinery Of the city of
St. Louis into the hands of the
Democrats, and where this partisan
advantage is to be enforced by a
police force organized upon a basis
to meet the conditions contemplated
by this law. Although 81. Louis
is a Republican city, says Mr..
Barthold, it will no longer send a
Republican delegation to Congress
unless some steps are taken to
permit the voters free expression
of their rights at the ballot box.
The measures he appeals to Con-
gress to adopt are not in the nature
of force billism, but are intended
to take away from the Democrats,
so for as feeseraf elections go, the
unfair advantage that has been
given them by an iniquitous state
election law.

If Bryan believes those opium

IL Bryan believes those opium
dreams of Democratic SUCCESS
which he is telling about he must
be more in the dark in regard to
the political conditions throughout
the country than any other man in
it who is of sound mind. The
drift, as Stone, Altgeld and all the
other sllrewd Bryanite chieftans
could have told Bryan, is decidedly
and permanently against the 45c
dollar. They could also tell him
that there were no votes in his pol
icy of hag-furling. The boasts
which he is making, moreover, are
useless for the purpose for which
he intends them, for the candidacy
which he seeks is certain to be his
if he lives to the day of the meet
ing of his convention. No other
Democrat of national standing is
seeking the office, or could get it if
he did seek it. Bryan, happily for
the Republicans, is certain of the
candidacy of his party, and there
fore there is no reason for those
visions of Democratic success un-
his leadership which he is dealing
out to his dupes. The Democratic
party is weaker than it was on the
eye Of the canvass of 1896, and
every Democratic politician of any
consequence in the country knows
that to be the case. Hence the only
Democrat who is doing any boast
ing is Bryan himself.-Globe Dem
