Ecnnett Who Was sent Up for Fif.
teen Years.
Boone, July 21.-About seven years
ago Jacob Bennett. then a resident of
Marcy township, was tried and con-
victed on the charge of rape. The
plaintiff in the case was4a young girl
and the jury having found the defend
ant guilty, a sentence OF fifteen years
in the psnitentiary was pronounced by
Judge Hindman. The prosecuting at
torney was Judge j. II. Whitaker and
the prisoner was defended by Attorney
o. NJ. Brockett.
AT the time of the trial it was the
general Impression that the evidence
did not sufficiently prove an assault
was committed and that there were
mitigating circumstances. Among
them were the fact that the notion of
meeting the girl was suggested to Ben
nett by another. and that he had no
idea of committing the crime of which
he was charged.
The sentence was admittedly severe.
1t is understood that nearly all con-
nectsd with the trial are willing to use
their influence With the governor
toward securing a parole for Bennett
pending his good behavior. The latter
has made an exemplary record in tbs
penitentiary and it is thought by NJ:
friends and is understood by the jury
who convicted him that the ends OF
Justice have been subserved. To tha'
end an appeal Will be made to Coy,
ernor Shaw to exercise executive elem
sency in this case. Attorney Brockett

Appeal INSURANCE TAX CASES.

Right to Tax Foreign Companies.


Right to Tax Foreign Companies.
Des Moines, July 21.-Applications
will be filed in the state supreme court
in few days for writ Of error on
which the insurance tax cases decided
against the foreign Insurance con1pa-
nies doing business in Iowa will be car.
ried to the United States supreme court.
Tho application will be made to Judge
C. T. Granger by A. H. McNey, who is
making preparations for this purpose.
The cases in question involved the
right of the state of Iowa to tax foreign
insurance companies 3ls per cent on
their premiums collected in Iowa when
the state only charged its own compa-
nies per cent, and the companies out
side of the state in the union but 21a per
cent. This, the foreign companies claim
ed, was discrimination in violation of
the treaty of this country with Great
Britain under which the citizens of that
country are given right to do business
in Iowa as citizens of this country. Both
the state supreme court and the federal
court have held that the tax charged by
this state is a license and is not a tax.
The test case was the Scottish Union
and National Insurance Company
| against John Herriott, being an action
| to restrain the treasurer of state from
I collecting these taxes. and to recover
takes already paid under the provisions
4 of the law. The other foreign compa-
MES, however. numbering about thirty
rested their cases on the same suit. The
4 appeal will affect all of them alike.

Berlin. July 21.-lt would be no easy
task adequately to describe the ssnsa-

While many people refuse to believe

which succeeded in extorting such an
infinitely important piece of news from
