Attorneys Finish the Argument of the
Caster Case in the Circuit Court
Wednesday Evening.
FAMOUS BURR TRIAL IS CITED.
District Attorney Buckmaster Finds Par
allel Between the Trial of Caster and
That of Col. Aaron Burr.

The argument of the Caster case be-
fore Judge Belden was completed late
Wednesday evening, and the Judge
has taken the matter under advise
ment. 1t is not thought that any de-
cision will be rendered in the case in
less than two weeks as each of the at
torneys presented large number Of
authorities, and if the Judge reads all
the authorities presented for his guild
ance he will probably take several
months in deciding the case.
The close of the argument in the
case was most interesting, as District
Attorney Buckmaster called into the
case some very interesting historic
characters to aid him in establishing
his point with the Judge. It is hardly
possible that Aaroa Burr and John
Caster had many things in common
but the District Attorney found in the
trial of Col. Burr before the United
States Court on charge'Cof high
treason, some points which seemed to
make the conditions governing the
trials of Caster and Col. Burr almost
identical. In the trial of Aaron Burr
the holding of Burr depended on letters
which the Colonel had sent to General
Wilkinson, and Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court Marshall held that
these letters were sufficient evidence
on which to return an indictment for
treason. On this same line the Dis.
trict Attorney holds that the comics.
lsion of Caster which'was sworn to by
several witnesses in ythe hearing in
court were sufficient to have him held
to trial in the Circuit Court on a
charge of bribery.
In the development of these points
the decision of Chief Justice Marshall
in the famous Burr trial was read to
the Court by the District Attorney,
and the reading of the decision proved
of great interest to the Court and the
members of the bar who were gather
ed at the court room. The decision is
said to be one of the mosti,beautiful as
well as the most logical decisions ever
written by Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court.
The citation of this case came as a
surprise to Attorney Firthman, who
represented the defense in the case,
and he replied to the argument in the
case with bitter assault on the Chief
Justice who wrote the decision, claim
ing that Chief Justice Marshall meyer
wrote a great decision and that his de-
cision in the Burr case was not based
on good law.
The citation of the case had a dis
tinct effect on.the case made by the
District Attorney.

that his picture should grace the walls
of the building which bears his name.

WHERE GOD RULES MAN PROSPERS
Politics In Zion City Will Be Dominated
With a Strong Religious FEELING
Judge Barnes Writes Platform.

The first political convention ever
held at Zion City is attracting consid-

strange platform of principles laid
down by the followers of "E1iiah" at
this, their first political gathering.

J ~ worthy of more than passing inter-
est. The platform is given as follows:
'"The Citizens of the City of Zion,
Lake county, State of Illinois, being
assembled in their first convention,
held in Zion City, on the night of Mon
day, April 7, 1907, for the purpose of
nominating the first officers of their
city, do so on Theocratic platform,
and desire to set forth their position
and their reasons for the formation of
this new party in the political affairs
of the United States of America. in the
manner following:
"First. We declare our loyalty to
the constitution and Laws of the

"Second. We affirm that both the
constitution and the laws are capable
OF amendment and Improvement in a

"Third. We declare the motto of
our party to be the una1terable and un-
assailab1e truth that "where God rules,
man prospers."
"Fourth. Our object is, therefore the
} establishment of the Rule of God in
every department of government, by
the free will of the people.
"Fifth. We declare our conviction
that the Holy scriptures, which con-
tain the Ten Comma nd ments, and the
inspired gospel of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, constitute the principles
of all righteous government for the in

MURDER By SCIENCE.
AWFUL POSSIBILITIES SUGGESTED
BY ATTEMPTED CRIME.
Microbes OF DiseRke Furnish "a New and
Terribly Effective Weapon In the Hands
of Humanity-Threat Of Austrian
Student Brings 1t to Light.

A subtle and horrible method of talk.
ing life has been placed within the
means of INSCRIPTIONS men of science.
Modern study of bacteriology has
placed a new and terribly effective
weapon in the hands Of humanity. 1t
Is a weapon with which entire COM
munities and towns may be stripped
OF their inhabitants. Wholesale deaths
may be brought about without even
directing suspicion toward the perpe-
TRAITOR of the crime, and, what is more,
the man who seeks to deal out death
in this way may select the specific
disease he wishes to employ in carry
ing out his purpose. All of these men
acing possibilities have developed
through the advanced study of bacte-
ria n the various uses, beneficial
and otherwise, to which micro-organ-
isms may be put. The fact has been
established beyond all question Of
doubt that most contagious diseases
are spread through microbes. and add
ed to this knowledge is the additional
information hat each disease has its
own specific kind of bacteria, which
may be cultured and produced In
countless numbers.
AS an indication Of the extremes to
which a man may GO in making use OF
his knowledge of microbes, the case Of
an Austrian medical student Is given.
This student had devoted a good deal
OF m n much energy to the study
Of bacteriology. He was familiar with
the various forms of microbes common
to different contagious and infectious
diseases, and knew how to use them
with deadly effect. Recently the young
man attempted to extort money from a
rich widow by threatening to scatter
disease germs in her DON If she re
fused his demand. The woman at first
was inclined to laugh at his threat,
but finally he became so insistent and
maintained such a menacing attitude
that she reported the matter to the
| police and the medical student was ar
rested. When taken int custody there
were found in his possession test tubes
containing a sufficient number of bac.
terra to have carried death to half the
residents of the town If properly cir
culated. The tubes contained cultures
of cholera, typhoid fever, and lockjaw
microbes, and showed co~nclusively
that the young student was prepared
to carry out his threat.
This. 1t is believed, is the first In.
stance on record when a crime of this
character has been brought to the at
tention of the authorities. but it by no
means represents the possibilities Of
such a misapplication Of scientific dis.
coveries. The possibilities along this

toof of adopts in crime. So is the
criminal the tool of necessity at times.
or of passion and evil instincts. Every
lawbreaker is the tool, Or victim. Of
circumstances. We are not arguing
from this that every lawbreaker
should be set free, but our citizens do
not point out a reason why Boggs

as eminent and model man" thieves
like cashiers and bank tellers are
dealt with leniently by the law and
then aided to escape the full penalty
