HENDERSON, Mimi, Dec 6.-(Special.)
The Wallert murder trial commenced
this afternoon in the district court before
Judge Caldwell.
The prisoner, Theodore Wallert, act
ing on the advice of his counsel, pleaded
guilty of murder in the first degree. He
also asked permission to make a state
mient, which was granted, and he will be
heard next Tuesday, at which time he
will be sentenced
The court appointed E. H. Huebner, of
Winthrop, and T. A. Cosgrove, of Airing
ton, to defend the accused. w. H.
Leenan, Of Henderson, is conducting the
prosecution.
Judge Caldwell is known to be opposed
on principle to capital punishment. In
view Of this and today's action of the

that Wallert will get off with a life SEN
tence. His crime was one of the most
atrocious ever committed in the North
west.
The crime which Wallert committed

FREEDOM OF TIE PRESS
SUSTAINED IN PENNSYLVANIA IL
nEL SUIT DECISION.


PITTSBURG, Dec GA non-suit was
granted by Judge Wilson, of Beaver
county, today, against Hon. John Wanna
maker. The suit was for So, 900 damages
for SANDER.
During the campaign of 1898 Wanna
maker was alleged to have made charges
that Robinson conspired with others to
defraud the state. In the motion for a
non-suit the defense claimed the gen
eral declaration ascribed to the defend
ant in the statement of the plaintiff had
not been proved, and that the innuendoes
had been left unsupported by any testi-
mony. The non-suit granted by Judge
Wilson closes the case.
Before leaving for the East tonight Mr.
Wanamaker gave out the following state
ment concerning the case:
''The decision of the court is in the
interest of the freedom of the press and
citizens to discuss fairly public questions
involving public officials and the admin
istration of public affairs. The ruling Of
the distinguished ju6ge decided that free
speech in this commonwealth was not
to be barred and that actions to succeed
if brought into court, must prove malice
upon the part of newspapers; that there
are privileged statements in politics
which are not actionable.''
