Inflammation from this gradually mounted
10 his brain.
He died attended by a few faithful

A Good Record.

District A ttOrney George J. Stone man is receiving very general and well merited commendation for his able prosecution of the criminal cases brought before the court at the pres ent term. IL is no eXaggeration to say that the disposition of the crimiD- al business was never more satisfac- torily accomplished, and the result is highly creditable to Mir. Stoneman's knowledge of criminal law and his close study and careful handling of the cases comprising the criminal docket. Of the eleven indictments drawn by the district attorney, not one was demurred to. Nine cases were brought to trial and seven convictions were secured. And the two cases in which verdictS of acquittal were re- turned, were considered doubtful from the beginning.
 There probably was never crimin- al case in this county that excited greater interest and intense desire on the part of the public that the crim- i inal be ferreted out and convicted, than the assassination of Archie Bor- queS. The case was a most difficult one. the discovery and conviction oi the murderer depending upon the cumulative force of links of circum' stantial evidence. MT. Stoneman felt the responsibility resting upon him and applied himself earnestly to the study of the case, with the result that a complete chain of evidence was pre- sented which convinced the jury of the defendants guilt No one coulo have accomplished more, and MT Stoneman has reason to feel gratiiiec that his successful efforts are fully appreciated.
