Il
ital has not yet accustomed itself to
having an athlete for President Every
new Roosevelt feat of pedestrianism
or rough riding Is the subject of ex-
tended comment in the clubs and at
functions.
Washington does not understand
how a President can be SO active. Mr..
Mckinley used to take short stroll
once or twice week, and then he
would go out In carriage occasional
ly. Mr.. Cleveland never walked when
he could ride. Mr.. Harrison did walk
some. but never like man who was
out for exercise.
Still. President Roosevelt Is SIM
mering down. He takes as much ex-
ercise as ever-nard. pounding rides
on the dirt roads near the District
boundaries and quick. energetic walks
to Cabin Johns Bridge and back. but
In the White House he Is quiet and less
effusive. Formerly. he grasped a Wis
itor by both hands and said, Il am de-
lighted to see you with the accent
on the delighted" but now he lets
one hand do the work and h. some
times omits the delighted" He has
come to rely more on that marvellous
man. Secretary CorteIyou. who does
everything with the greatest economy
tality of an iron man and the master Y
of details of genius.
When the President went into the
White House he wanted to do every
thing himself. Now he realizes that
there are many things his force can do
probably better than he. He Ia syste-
matizing himself to some degree. but.
for all that. he Is the most energetic
and the most alive. physically. of any
President for many years.
The President finds Ii hard to get
Cabinet officials to walk with him. The
memory of the day when he dismissed
the carriage at Cabin Johns Bridge
and made Secretary Root walk back to
the White House with him eight miles,
still fingers. Nor has the story been
forgotten OF how he chased Senator
Lodge up ana down a country road
laughing uproariously as the Senator
bobbed up and down on his horse and
chung to the pommel OF the saddle.
The Presidents best walking cnum is
his eldest son, Theodore jr. The Presi-
dent cannot feaze that young man.
When the latter was home for his
Christmas holidays they went out to
gether every day. Young Theodore
never cried enough
Mr.. Roosevelt began asking all comers
to luncheon or dinner when he went
into the White House, and he is still
extending invitations. He rarely has
a meal without company. He enter
tains lavishly too. When there is no
state functions or public dinner he
has friends at his table from every
where. Dinner invitations to the White
House go out in every mail.
Washington notes also that the
President draws no party lines In his
invitations. Free Silver, Populist. Re-
publicant or democrat, it's all one to
him. Politicians who rare:y went to
the White House in other days, now

troduced. George LaDue is the
alleged murderer Of a lumberjack
named Eugene McGlauchlin on
the night of April 5th last, by
doping the latter's whiskey with
fshberry, a deadly poison. Joe
Berry and "Dogface Joe" are his
alleged accompices.
The case was brought on for
trial last Monday, butit occupied
all day and until Tuesday noon
to get a jury. Attorney General
Douglas and County Attorney

at this time McGlauchlin drank
fsbberry in his whiskey. They
had several drinks after that,
sometimes "Dogface" drank with
them, and sometimes the three
men drank alone. At any rate
the three men left and went on
the hill to Spiders other place..
where they drank some more.
Here McGlauchlin was robbed OF
some money and the bartender
divided the same between him
self and the other two. The VIC
tim now began to become groggy
from the effect of the poison.
The bartender advised Berry and
LaDue to take him out, which
they did. The victim, now rap
idly succumbing to the rank
poison fell to the ground and
went into commissions horrible to
look upon. The guilty ones

might or might not have gone
through his pockets before
leaving him. They left. The
police arrived on the scene and
took the victim and first placed
him in the lookup and called in
a doctor and the doctor ordered
him sent to the hospital, where
he died the next day.
LaDueleft the city and went
to Solway and was arrested there
by the marshall of that village in
a house of prostitution, and was
brought back to this city in the
custody of that officer.
This is the first effective act in
the line of prosecution, and the
one that goes good ways with
the jury.
While the state puts great
many witnesses upon the stand
to testify against LaDue, nothing
The Bemidji pioneer., 1902-10-02

very damaging has been proven.
Everything points clearly to the
fact that he was implicated in the
murder of Eugene McGlauchlin
on the night of April 4th. No
thing has been proven to show
conclusively that he is to blame
for the deed any more than the
other men. It looks us IL all
three had something to do with
it. Following is the jury that
will determine the guilt or inno-
cence Of Geo. LaDue:
John Guthrie,
Herb Smith,
John McCallum,

Magnus Ward,

first int : uced. Dr.. Henderson
was ths ca 1nty coroner and DR..
Morris, ~-.ity physician, and it
became their duty to do what
they could for the unfortunate
victim before he died, and after
death make examinations neces-
sary to determine the probable
cause of McGlaughlin's tragic
end. Then the state chemist,
H. G. Carel of Minneapolis, testi-
fed to the fact that he made a
thorough analysis of the pois-
oned mans stomach and liver;
which were sent to him by DR..
Henderson for examination. He
described in detail the process
employed, which involved figures
and terms that would certainly
perplex a Phlladelphla lawyer.
But the chemist explained him
self sufficiently for the jury to
understand him. He showed
samples Of fshberry to the jury
in it's natural state and in various
other states. The lawyers S
brought out the fact that fish
berry is a rare poison, but that
it is as deadly as it is scarce. In
drug stores it is sometimes
found in the form of powders OF
a brown color. It is sometimez
used to adulterate liquors, and
sometimes in drugs, but not au-
thoritatively. Experts claim fish.
berry to be of no medicinal value,
The Bemidji pioneer., 1902-10-02

but that it is sometimes used for
killing fish.
Prof. Carel made experiments
with the pytrotoxin (fishberry)
found in McGlauchlin's stomach
on frogs and the least portion Of
it killed the frog in an hour and
five minutes. The frog had CON
vulsions and his actions were SIM
liar those of McGlauchlin after
he had partaken of the fatal po-

trial, and Berry and Seguin, his.
accomplices, will each be tried
separately. LaDue sits it the
court room from morning until
night and is apparently under no
mental strain. His brother Joe
of Little Falls is with him and is
taking a natural interest in the
trial. The accused chews to-
bacco continuously, probably to
check the nervousness he does
not wish to show. He looks pale
from confinement, but otherwise
strong and healthy. He is good
specimen Of physical manhood,
and has raven hair, prominent
features and a high forhead. He
looks like man capable of much
in whatever direction his ten
dency goes.
His alleged aucomplices, Berry
and "Dogface," +" are men of a diff
ferent type. The latter, Judging
merely from his looks. is capable
Of very little good. He looks like
a fellow whose tendencies are to-.
ward the bad, and like one who,
as tits charged in the Indictment,
could be used as a tool or an ac-
complice.
Up to the time of going to press
the most interesting feature Of
the trial is Joe Berry's testimony
which was given yesterday after
noon. In order that the reader
may better understand the case
we give below the textof Berry's
testimony:
He is Al years of age, was born
in Canada, came to the United
States 25 years ago, his occupa-
tion is that of a woods and river
man. He first met LaDue last
March, had nothing to do with
him in a business way. He was
in Spiders place On the night of
April 4, went to bed at 9 o'clock
in the fremont hotel, four others
slept in the same room. He got
up at 6 in the morning on his
own accord, without saying any
thing to those who slept in the
room. He went into Spiders sa.
loon, where he saw LaDue drink
ing at the bar with others. . He
himself sat on the end of the bar.
"Dogface Joe" was bartender.
The latter invited Berry to take
something, which he did, and one
of the other men paid the bill.
This man proved to be McGlauch-
lin. Berry did not know Nc
Glauchlin-had never seen him
before.
After Berry went into Spiders
saloon, where McGlauchlin and
LaDue were drinking, "Dogface"
asked him to drink with them.
He did and kept payment out Of
McGlauchlin's money. In the
meantime "Dogface" sold Nc
Glauchlin a watch for $15, and
he offered LaDue half that sum
if he could get the watch away
from McGlauchlin and give it
back to him. McGlauchlin was
the only lumberjack that had
any money, and it looks now as
if the balance of them wanted to
do him. ''Dogface,' according
to the evidence, put his hand
into the showcase and took out a
paper in which something was
wrapped, opened the paper over
the back bar and poured the
contents into a glass. At this
