is FOUND GUILTY
GOODMAN WITH POISON.
His Punishment Will Be From Two to
Fourteen Years In the State
P~enitentiary.

J~effersonville, Ind, Dec. %
Newell c.. Rathbun, who was tried on
the charge of numbering Charles Good
nan by giving him poison, vas found
guilty tonight of manslaughter and
his punishment was fixed at two to IA
years in the pe%nitentiary. The jury
had been considering the case since
Saturday afternoon. Rathbun's at
torneys asked for a new trial tonight
and. the motion will be argued later.
Charles Goodman, Rathbun's alleg-
ed victim, was found dead last month
in a hotel in this city, after he had
spent some time with kathbun. His
body was shipped to Little Rock, Ark,
where Rathbun's wife lives, as that
of Rathbun, on whose life an insur-
ance policy for $4,000 has been issued.
Following the discovery that the
body was not Rathbun's, came Rath-
buns arrest at Louisville where he
had enlisted under another name in
the United States army. The corpse
was later identified as that of Good
man, a wanderer, who came to Louis
Vile from Evansville.

ed any intimation on the subject from
Washington, either from President
Roosevelt or any Iowa friends there"
The governor declined to state his
purpose in leaving the city for the
east, but said he had not been called
to Washington.
1t is well understood among poll
ticians here that the president has
definitely decided upon Governor
Shaw for the treasury PORTFOLIO. But
his insistence that he has no informa-
ton on the subject leaves them I'M
able to discuss the proposition.
The impression prevails that Gov
Shaw will accept the position.
While he is well-to-do, he has not a
large fortune, and it is possible that
he may think himself unable to afford,
in a financial sense, to accept the
place. At any rate he could not de-
termine the matter before consulting
with some of his friends who move in
the high councils of the party.
