Albert Richards of the Laramie

agent of the Fremont. Elkhorn and
Missouri Valley railroad. in reply to
one Mr.. Richards had written concern
ing the proposed mineral exhibit at the
Wyoming Industrial convention here
on the 18th and 18th of December. Mr..
Kuhn says:
In the interest of the Laramie Min.

free over our line from any point in
Wyoming a limited noun of mineral
specimens to Grin Junction"
He suggests to Mr.. Richards that as
the Colorado and Southern is the con

will also. no doubt, agree to handle the
specimens free, the Colorado and

JURY SAYS GUILTY
VERDICT IN THE NEW JERSEY
MURDER CASE.
CRIME OF SECOND DEGREE
Three Men Charged With Awful Deed
Receive the Report With Anxious
Expressien--Judge Dixon's Charge
to the Jury Point Out Features OF
States Case.

Paterson, Jan. 19.-Walter G. Meal.
lister. Andrew j. Campbell and VIM
Death. three of the four persons in
dicted for the murder of Jennie
Bosschieter, the mill girl who was
murdered on the night of Oct. Is, last
we're last night adjudged guilty of
murder in the second degree. Accord
ing to the New Jersey law the maxi
mum penalty for the prisoners is
thirty years Imprisonment. The jury
took IA ballots and, after summoning
Judge Dixon and the prisoners, filed
into the court room. McAlister
seemed more excited than any of the
others. He sat biting his lips while
waiting. Campbell thrust his hands
into his trousers pockets and clinched
his fists in them. Death looked anX-
iously about the court room for a mo-
ment and then assumed the same at
titude as Campbell When the YER
dict was announced the prisoners
evinced neither citation nor relief.
Judge Dixon thanked the jury and
said he believed the verdict was just
one
Ex-Judge Hoffman, in making the
closing argument for the defense, de-
clared that the point not sufficiently
brought out by his associates was that
defendant is not called upon to
prove his innocence but that the state
must prove his guilt. Hoffman dis
credited the testimony of Prof. Wit
thaus as to the quantity of choral
found in the stomach of the girl.
Public Prosecutor Emley in his clos
ing address for the state, attacked the
testimony of the defendants, given on
the witness stand. Their meeting
with Jennie Bosschieter, he said, at
SaaPs saloon had for it's purpose, as
Campbell put it, Having a good
time with the girl now dead.
Judge Dixon began his charge by
saying:
''The testimony has been skillfully
presented to you, it is only of the
court to apply the law. l call your at
tention to the occurrence on the
Come road where the girl was taken
from the hack The state contends
she was insensible, that while in this
condition she was lifted from the car
riage and placed on a blanket. Be-
cause of what was done there, finger
ring was torn from her cut finger and
pins fell from her dress. These oc-
currences may throw some light on
the degree of force that may have
been used. It is to be considered
whether these men had any motive 10
swear falsely. Had the hackman or
the police any motive to swear
falsely?"

PLUCKY CADET
LICKED 'EM ALL.
Why One Man Was Not Hazed at
West Point-Committee Probably
Finishes Today.

Finishes oQdys
West Point, Jan. 19.-The congress
sional committee will probably finish
it's investigation at the military acad-
envy today. Congressman have probed
deeply into the hazing which has been
maintained at cadet barracks and
camp for several years past and have
obtained a mass of evidence addition
al to that adduced at the military
court of inquiry. Fighting traditions
were gone into again yesterday and
some additional information was
cleaned in that respect. Cadet A. J.
Lynch of New York was thoroughly
examined by the congressman as he
was looked upon as an authority on
fighting at the academy. When Gen.
Dick began to question him he became
argumentative and shook his finger at
the chairman several times when par
rying some of the generals mild re-
proofs. At times he leaned across the
table which separated him from the
chairmans table, while he spoke in
an insolent manner to the general. He
upheld the West Point fighting code
and declared he would fight any man
Of his size or weight and that any man
who would not do likewise was not fit
to join the army. Gen. Dick exhibited
q good deal Of forbearance, but finally
gave UP his questioning in uncon-
cealed disgust after he had given the
6stic expert a sound piece of advice
For the first time during the inyesti-
cation it was shown yesterday that
there were cadets in the first class,
who from the time they came here as
"plebs'' have been opposed to hazing
md fighting. Cadet Francis w.
Clarke of Illinois, testified to this and
said these practices should be abol-
ished. He was complimented by Mr..
briggs. Cadet Louis c.. Brinton, Jr.,
| Of Pennsylvania was asked:
did you ever know man to go
| through this academy without being
hazed."
81 have heard of one; l cannot re-
| member his name, but l think he was
a 'plebe' in In 49,"
why did he escape all hazing?"
"He whipped every man pitted
against him. sir. He fought five men
in one day. in all he licked about thir-
ty" said Brinton.
''Is there monument erected at. the
post to his memory" asked Wanger.
