Des Moines, June 6.-Letson Bal
lett was found guilty by the jury in
the federal court, verdict being re-
turned in court late yesterday alter
noon. Balliett will be sentenced later
by Judge Munger. He was tried on
the charge of using the United States
mails to further scheme to de-
fraud.
The trial of Letson Balliett was be-
gun in the federal court, Judge Munger
of Omaha, presiding, on the morning
of Thursday, May %, and closed yes
terday. Sessions were held six days
in the week and two night sessions
We're held so as to eNpediate matters
On Decoration day no day session was
held but the testimony taking was re.
sumed that evening and night session
held Only one day (aside from Decor
alton day. was the jury off duty, ana
that was on Tuesday, May ~, When
Juror Fred Baumgartner of McCalls-
burg was taken sick and was unable
to be in court. With this exception the
case has gone along steadily. The
government consumed eight and one
half days with it's evidence; the de-
tense one and one-half days and the
arguments one day. The jury retired
on the twelfth actual day of the trial.
The jury which decided Balllett
fate was drawn from various parts
u
of the southern district OF Iowa, ana
consists of the following men: l.
Stevenson. Shannon City; Church Por-
ter. Ottumwa: Fred Baumgartner, Nc
.Callsburg; John Corder Middleton;
Abner Root. Fontanelle: George Scho-
field, Wapello; d. b. Kink. Council
Bluffs: D. w. Morgan, Cambria; K.
IL. Morrison, Warsaw; Edward Doods,
Brighton; H. w. Stubs, Green Noun,
tain; ID. r. Jones, Casey.
The government in the prosecution
of the Balliett case is endeavoring to
establish a precedent in the present
case, so as to have the decision for
other cases in similar prosecutions
against exploiters of gold mines, OIL
wells, rice fields, coffee plantations and
similar things. 1t is the purpose OF the
prosecutions in the attempt to eX-
clude from the mail all literature
booming such industries which have
not been firmly established, but which
have the element of chance in their
composition to so large an extent.
This phase of the Balliett case was
touched upon by Lewis Miles, United
States district attorney, in his closing
argument to the jury. Mr.. Miles be-
gan his argument after the supper
adjournment, speaking to the jurors
for little over two hours and half.
He reviewed the evidence in detail,
tracing Balliett's career from it's ncep-
ton down to the moment that the tes-
timony taking in the present case was
ended. Mr.. Miles is an exceedingly
rapid and fluent speaker, and in the
time allotted him covered vast por-
ton of the ground. AT the conclusion
OF his argument Judge Munger adj
journed court until this morning, when
he delivered his instructions.

The Horse Market.

Chicago, June 6.-With the transfers
strike practically at an end, local buy
ing added a stimulus 10 the trade and a
steady tone prevailed on the horse
market. Several consignments of choice
heavy horses were included in the Of
ferngs, and the majority of them were
taken on eastern account at prices that
effected very good clearance. Many
of the rural buyers who We're operating
early in the week have shipped out, but
their places We're filled by others and
medium grades and feeders sold steady.
There was also some good to choice
light harness horses among the offer
ings, the bulk being taken by New York
and Philadelphia dealers.
The condition of trade compared ia
vorably with last week, except in point
of receipts. The total for the week thus
far estimating today's run at $50. is
166l, against 1,511 last week, and 1881
for the corresponding time last year.

WITH AK AND BLOCK.
Criminal Executions In Prussia Still
Performed by the Eeadsrian.

Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia in the matter or the
execution of criminals. The man SEN
fenced there to suffer capital punish
ment is led to the fatal block, and his
head is chopped off with identically the
same sort Of ak as that which was
used to put period to the career OF
that fateful Both of January 252 years
ago. Practically the only difference
between the twentieth century execu-
ton and that of the time of Cromwell
is that the condemned is not put to
death publicly.
the guillotine has taken the place of
the gallows and the block, but in Prus-
STA old fashioned justice clings tena-
ciously to the old fashions. and not
the rope nor the automatic knife nor
the power of electricity has been able to
displace the broadaS as the laws Off
cial implement of death. The only
concession made to modern sentiment
is in the garb of the eyecutioner.
This functionary does not, as in the
earlier times, dress in doublet and hose
and hide his ensanguined identity be-
hind n frightsome mask. Instead, he
appears at the execution CARRIED in
frock coat of somber hue and correct
cut, and he wears upon his head, even
when delivering the death stroke, tall
silk hat. His three assistants are sim
ilarly attired.
Why this garb was chosen no one
can say authoritatiyely. 1t is one Of
those things the origin of which ap-
pears to have been forgotten with the
originators. But it is the lawful cos
tune, prescribed in the regulations,
which apply also to the twelve civil
ian witnesses who must attend an ex-
ecution, with the result that stranger
witness is unable to say until the AK
has fallen which of the other fifteen
silk hated frock coated individuals
grouped about him is the man who
lives by death-New York Press.

UNTANeLINe THE MYSTERY.
French Detectives Working on Hum
bert. Crawford Sensation.


bert Crawford Sensation.
CINCINNATI June 6.-The Enquirer
says the Humbert- Crawford sensation
of Paris probably had its start at Cow
ington, KY, and that French detectives
are now here working under cable IN
structions from Paris and also under
the telegraphic advisement from
Washington, thru Eugene Poicey, the
French consul at Cincinnati. 1t is
claimed that NJ katin, who taught
French at Covington years ago and af-
forwards returned to Paris. has advised
the French government all about the
Crawfords. whom he formerly knew
while living in Covington. Frank Dew
eneck, an artist in Cincinnati, who re-
sides in Covington and knew the Craw
fords, has gone to Paris to assist in the
investigation which has been started
by M. Katin, who is now in the employ
of the French government.
Four Crawford brothers lived in Cow
ington until the early eighties, when
they left there and two of them went to
Paris. The French government has in
formation that they may be the men
named in the golden sealed and impress
Humberts to the great financiers. The
brothers were John, Henry, Matthew
and Robert.
John died years ago, leaving three
brothers. In the early eighties Henry
went to Kansas City, and was city clerk
there. Matthew and Robert went
abroad and are supposed to have lived
in Paris. Every circumstance indicates
that they are the men who the Hum
berts named as the nephews who We're
contesting the Crawford will, and who
were preventing the Humberts coming
into possession of the great estates.
The Crawfords We're considered a
wealthy family in Covington and It
was understood. that they had a rich
uncle The story as related by the
Iumberts to the bankers is practically
the story of the important events in the
lives of the Covington Crawfords.
