Will Release 80 Convicts.

Fully 80 convicts in the state peni-
tertiary will gain their liberty as the
result of a decision handed down by
the supremt court in the habeas cor
Pus case brought to secure the re-
lease OF John d. Norton from the pen
nent1ary. Norton killed the city
marshal of Empire City some few
years ago and was convicted in the
court OF common pleas of Cherokee
county, which was declared unconsti-
tutional by the supreme court last
year. The contention of Norton's
attorneys was that he had been lille
gall y convicted and the supreme court
took that view of the matter.

Congressman jackson Indignant.

Representative Jackson, of the
Third Kansas district, the only fusion
member left in his delegation, does
not hesitate to criticise the action of
his democratic state committee In
calling an early convention. So i'm
pressed is this sole remaining fusion
congressman, who is democrat, that
he offers to step aside and let some
other fusionist make the race in his
congressional district if it is con-
sidered reasonable for him to speak
his mind. Mr.. jackson wants the
democrats to hold their state con-
vention the same day the populist

Edward Everett Hale, who has Just
completed his eightieth year, is one
OF the country's grand old men. Al
though residing in Massachusetts, all
sections of the country know him. His
book on Kansas and Nebraska, pub
hshed in 1854, just about the time
those territories were organized I'M
der the Douglas act, was one of the
earliest works on the locality. He
was prominently identified with Eli
Thayer's Emigrant Aid society, which
sent many of the earliest settlers in
to Kansas, and which was powerful
factor on freedoms side in the fight
which resulted in victory in the a9-
mission of the state under it's free
state constitution in 1861. Dr. Hale
was present at one or two of the
quarter-centennial celebrations in

Novel Turn Iva tho sinlpracticc Case
OF j. oscar AtAey.
WINCHESTER. VA. December 10
(Special)-In the Corporation Court to-
day the case of J. Oscar Athey, charged
with being an accessory to the death OF
his wife Margaret f. Athey, by means
of a criminal operation. was begun. After
the Jury had been inpanelled counsel
for the defence demurred to the indict-
nent on the ground that the statute
permitted the accused to be tried either
for a felony or a misdemeanor. The
court took this view of the case dismiss
ed the jury and remanded The case to the
magistrates court for trial as mis-
demeanor. Athey was released on 500
bond Owing to the prominence of the
accused man. the case has excited the
deepest interest in this section.
Mrs. Athey. who was Miss Margaret
Soue of Baltimore was an unusually
pretty girl. She died last May On her
death, she confessed that Susan Barber,
notorious colored woman, had per-
formed criminal operation upon her.
The Barber woman was subsequently
arrested and implicated Mrs. Atheys
husband. He partially confessed and his
own arrest on the murder charge fol-
lowed. Susan Barber got four years in
the pententiary, and was held here as
chief witness against Athey. By practi-
cally throwing the case out of court to-
day, Athey will likely get of with a
fine.
