BUT ONE BALLOT TAKEN IN THE JURY
ROOM AND THE VERDICT WAS GUILTY

The surprisingly short time in which
the verdict was completed and return
ed TO court was a remarkable feature
Of the closing session of court. and in
dicated that there was but little disa
greement In the room. Tt came about
in this way:
Upon entering the jury room. a half
hour before noon, the jurors imme-
diately went to work electing a fore
man. The choice fell upon II. T.
Shurtlim. tt was then suggested bv
one juror that if all were of the same
opinion, they might as well close I'D
the case before noon. This was met
with opposition by several. based upon
the ground that Il was their duty to
consider well the evidence.
After some informal talk as 20 how
to proceed, there was considerable ex-
preston of opinion, which developed
the fact that two jurors, Major
John =. Daley and Alma IT. Rock.
were not unequiv0cally In favor Of
conviction of murder in the first de-
gree. The jury paused ia its DELHI
erations and went to luncheon.
Upon returning to the building, ten

AGAINST RAWORTH.
Amdavits in Opposition to New Trial
One Alleges Bribary.


II the motion for a new trial Of Nick
Haworth, the convicted murderer of
Night Waterman Sandal at Layton.
IS granted by Judge Rolapp, it will be
after r vigorous protest by the prose-
cution. Yesterday County Attorney
Streeper Of Davis county filed in the
district court at Pennington a lot Of
counter afiidavits to offset the effect
Of the affidavits presented a couple Of
months ago by Haworth's counsel In
support of the motion for a new trial
on the stated ground of newly dis
covered evidence favorable TO the de-
fendant
The counter affidavits are nearly
twenty in number. and are from De
tective Franks, Sheriff Abbott. his
deputies, and c. F. Pomeroy, Joseph
Belnap. William Brody and Thomas
Phillips, besides several from members

The most importance is attached bv
the prosecution To the AFFIDAVIT of De-
teetiye Franks which sets up that
while he was employed by Davis coun-
" 10 hunt for evidence against Ha-
worth he was paid 800 by A. J. Weber,
one of Haworth's counsel. as an in
ducement to sign an affidavit in his
clients favor. Franks declares that
this transaction took place in the Og-
den attorneys Office on April 10. and
that five days before Henry Whet-
stone broke the ice" for the deal at
the Cullen hotel in this city.
1t Is set out in Franks affidavit that
the paper which was presented to him
TO sign without reading was not at
tested in due form by a notary public
in his presence. The detective claims
that he took up the offer from Ha-
worth's counsel so as TO catch them
in a trap.
The other affidavits go to the point
of casting discredit upon all Of the
affidavits filed by the defense in sup
port Of the motion for a new trial.

Minneapolis June Fair.

If you happen to contemplate a trip
to the Twin Cities, for either business
or pleasure, it may benefit you to
know that during the first two weeks
in June the railroads from this sec
tion have granted excursion rates
during the Elks' carnival and June
Festival.
Some of the features of the great
carnival will be displays by merchants
and manufacturers, which will line
both sides of an inclosed street a
half a mile long. There will be Mid
way shows in which some two hundred
performers appear, illuminations, pa
rades, and some distinctiue carnival
features for each day, such as baby
shows, automobile races, Mardi

The Flaws In the Rose.


When a garden first becomes joyful
possibility, most people turn at once to
the thought of roses. Now, roses have
no place In landscape gardening. AS a
rule they do not belong in the front
yard. This may sound shocking and
heretical, but it is true at least so far
as the common double fiowered roses
are concerned. The place for roses is
in the flower garden, and the place for
the flower garden is in the rear or off
at one side by itself. Roses have too
many insect enemies. Their foliage is
always being destroyed. For the erdi-
nary person it is not worth while to
spray them.
Probably half the plants Of all kinds
sold in America by nurserymen are
roses. Everybody loves roses, but in
practice no one takes good care of them
except the rose specialist. Personally l
prefer peonies to roses for my garden.
They have larger flowers which last
longer than roses. They make a more
compact and shapely bush, have an
abundance Of rich, dark green foliage,
come into bearing earlier, are harder
and longer lived than most roses, and
they are remarkably free from insects
and disease. All they lack is poetry,
perfume, thorns and bugs.
But shall not quarrel with any one
who prefers roses. If you really want
roses, you would better have them even
If YOU fail.-Wilhelm Miller in Pilgrim.

so far as lay within her power she
responded to that appeal. She

bKilling q Bull without a Weapon.

Cayetano, a famous Spanish toreador,
Dnce was strolling across meadow
with q couple of friends when his at
tention was attracted by an old and
infuriated bull which was galloping to-
ward them with lowered head and
erect tail. Cayetano had no weapon,
not even a cane, but he seized dust
coat which one of his friends was car
rying over his arm. AS soon as the
bull got close to them Cayetano bade
his companions make their escape
while he engaged the animals atten-
ton. Using the coat as a capa, he
drove the bull crazy with fury, step
ping aside with the deftest agility at
each of the animals charges. In this
manner he caused the bull to turn
sharply in the midst of its onward
rushes until finally an ominous crack
was heard, and the bull fell in a heap,
with it's backbone broken by the sud-
den wrench given by the animals abb

war was noted for the monotony of his
prescriptions. He apparently consid-
cred salt water taken externally or

flesh is heir to, for he ordered his pa

be the malady presented to his notice.
One day he went sailing with a par.

squall the boat was upset, and the
surgeon came near being drowned.
