ination for senator and were his main
stay in that struggle.
BY that fight the short grassers'
came to realize their strength for the
first time. They learned that while
they were short in the congressional
convention, they were long in senatorial
caucuses. At the election following that
session the long grassers' had a can
didate for United States senator in the
person of Joseph Ady, and a can
didate for congress in the person of
Chester I. Long. The short grass fell
lows wanted the congressman and were
willing in return to support Ady for
senator, but Ady and his long grass
fellows could not see it that way, and
the short grass man went down and
out, and then came the breach. When
the fall election was over and the re-
turns in, it was found that the short
grass counties had elected Is members

the district by the Republicans. These
representatives cast their votes for ].

as evidence of this. That was not COM
mitted in a fit OF epilepsy, because he
knew all about it afterwards If he
had been given his liberty 1t would
have lasted no longer than his next out
break after which the present trial
would either have been duplicated
he would have been committed to an
asylum, where he would have to be
under constant guard. For this reason.
it is argued, it is better both for the
protection of the public and the prison
er himself that he should be confined
Before the trial began United States
District Attorney Lambert gave Leach
every chance possible to fight for his
life. The prisoner was in the United
States army at the time he committed
the crime, and he had practically no
money of his own with which to fight
the case, and his relatives either could
not or else were not disposed, to help
him. For this reason the government
paid the expense of all the witnesses
the defense wished to subpoena, in
creaSing the expense of the trial nearly
81, 900. In fact, all OF Leach's friends
who came from Baltimore made money
out of the trial,~fO they received mile
age at the rate of 10 cents a mile one
way. while their car fare was only $50
for the round trip. When the defense
asked for a commission to examine
into Leach's sanity, also at the expense
of the government, Mr.. Lambert,
through his assistant, II. j. Bone,
Joined in the request. When Leach
announced his determination to plead
guilty last spring Mr.. Bone persuaded
him not to do SO, in that case the
court would have been compelled to
give him the death sentence.
But when the trial was begun it was
stubbornly contested at every step.
The defense was planned by Eugene
Hagan, and Captain J. G. Waters was
called in for the trial on account of his
reputation as a trial lawyer. Every
point in the defense showed that it had
been carefully planned, but it was
promptly met by Mr.. Lambert for the
prosecution. The examination Of
the witnesses for the defense was
pointed and brought out the weak
places in their testimony. This culmi-
mated when the experts were placed on
the stand by the defense to prove that
Leach was insane when he committed

AT the age of "a years Joseph S. Leach
will enter the walls of the federal peni-

the balance of his life at hard labor to
expiate the crime which he committed
when he murdered Thomas E. Fennen
at Fort Riley.
The jury which tried him in the fed

of guilty as charged" at $50 Saturday
evening, after being out a little over
five hours. The death penalty was sus-
pended, however, so that Leach will not
be hanged but will be imprisoned for
life instead.
When the case was submitted to the
jury shortly after noon Saturday the
jury was at once locked in the jury

done the Jurors were taken to dinner

their evidence completely against the
defense by showing by his questioning
that Leach acted from memory when
he killed Fenneu and therefore could
not have been insane.
The Leach trial was the first case
of great Importance that has been tried
in the federal court since Mr.. Lambert
has been United States district attor-
ney, but he has added to his previous
splendid reputation as trial lawyer.
In his argument to the jury which
closed the case, the manner in which
he summed up the evidence and
brought out the strong points for the
prosecution was convincing in the
greatest degree.

A note for the full amount of premium

in cash, the balance being subject to
assessment during the life of the policy.
In this way the money is left in the
hands of the people. The report shows

theater Saturday: its plot IS ingenious
and original. It's fun bubbles spontan-
eously out of its situations. These are
never strained, but grow naturally out of
the story and are always vivid and life
like. It's tone is absolutely clean and
wholesome. Its production demonstrates
that literary merit does not prevent a
play from being eXcruciatingly funny.
The theme is absolutely new and the
characters are fresh with the novelty of
a newly found theatrical parsonage in
the sect of DunRards, whose antique
manners, unique beliefs and odd customs
have never before been presented on the
