The case is one of purely circums : ,ial
evidence. III conclusion the neys
in the case say: ~
Our belief in her absolute . ocence.
her helpless condition from .e death
of her husband to the present time.
our intense desire is that she is en-
titled to all our ability, poor and weak
as she is. Our duty as attorneys of the
bar of this state as provided by the
laws of the state. and especially by
class I of section 311 Never to reject
for any consideration personal to him
self the cause of the weak and de-
fensless We plead il not complete
defense at least in mitigation. We
again urge this court to grant re-
hearing.
Since the trial of the case one of
the leading attorneys for the defense,
Dan w. Hamilton, has been nomin-
atcd for judge in the district to sue
ceed W. G.. Clements, the presiding
judge who sentenced Mrs. Kuhn to life
imprisonment for murder
Several weeks ago it was mentioned
in this correspondence that Mayor
James NJ. Brenton, Of this city, is
clearly a possibility as a congressional
candidate two years hence. More re-
Gently this fact has been discovered
by some OF the Des Moines politicians.
Mr. Brenton has been going about the
district making speeches and making
friends and he is already one of the
best known men in the district among
the men who are making candidates.
Whether his administration can with
stand the attacks sure to come thru
amy term in Des Nloines remains yet
to be seen.
Gov Cummins went to Atlantic today

ceive Bonus tor aking ROCK Island.
New York, July 26.-It is understood
Rock Island stockholders are to receive
in exchange for their present holdings
an amount of new bonds, new preferred
stock and new common stock. Lit is
known that for each 500 off Rock ISL
and stock there will be given S10O of
common stock. While the exact amount
of preferred stock to be given can not
be learned One authority says the
preferred will aount to SIS for each 500
of old while another says it will be
500 for each 500 of old. There is good
reason to believe that neither of these
figures is correct. and that the amount
will be about SO for each SlO0. Ac-
ccpting this as correct, each 500 of
present Rock Island stock on being de-
posted will call for the following new
securities face valued: Ronds, 500;
preferred stock, $40; common stock,
500; total $270.

The expected application for rehear-
ling in the Sarah Kuhn case from Seo-
kuk county has been made. and the
attorneys call attention to their belief
that the decision of the court is both
illegal and Illogical and that great
injustice has been done the 1S-year old
widow of the crippled shoemaker of
Delta. This is the case in which JUS
ticc Weaver of the supreme court filed
a dissenting opinion i'll which he as
sailed vigorously the majority opinion
prepared by Justice Waterman. The
dissenting opinion. as printed in the
Reporter has attracted Il great deal
of attention because it takes such rad
icallN different view of the case from
the majority decision. The theory of
the defense is that Kuhn put the poison
in the beer himself and probably in
tended to kill both himself and his Wife
with whom he had quarreled. They
point out, in their application for re-
hearing, that the facts in the case
render 1t impossible that Mrs Kuhn

London, July 26.-The idea that pre-

been compensated by the Strong family
for her intrinsic losses, is following
Strong for the purpose of applying a
horsewhip on him. 1t is denied at Scot

existence here for the arrest of Captain

they would have no trouble in arresting

Washington, July 26.-The postottice

result of what the postal officials term
en- unreasonable and excessive price

issue as to the right of a government
cfice to contract With outside interests

today by "a masEcd men.
Crowds began 10 gather in the
vicinity of the Jail carly in the
evening and mob was formed.
About 3 O'Clock the mob de-
cended on the jail and the leaders
demanded the keys of the sheriff.
He refused to give them up and
the crowd then secured sledges
and hammers and beat down the
Jail door.
Once inside the jail, rope was
quickly thrown around Wood
wards neck and he was roughly
dragged from the building.
He was then taken to the scat
fold which bad been erected for
his execution. Some one pushed
him on the trap but he gave Il
leap before the trap could be
sprung and fell from the gallows,
hanging himself
The whole proceeding occupied
less than half an hour. Consider
able excitement prevailed, but
little was said. Woodward at
tempted to talk to the leaders but
they refused to hear him.
Several hundred sheep and cat
tlemen came to town during the
day yesterday and every corner
was the scene of 4 discussion of
the reprleve granted by the sur
preme court.
After the lynching the mob
dispersed and created part of
those from out of town left for
their homes.
Before he drop Woodward be-
gan making an address, half talk
ing, half praying. He said:
"Boys, let me kneel and pray.

ward leaped off before the trap
could be sprung.

found pinned to the scaffold this
note, reading as follows:
The process Of the law is Il

will all have to travel. Murder-

No one could be found today
who could identify any member of
