The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1903-03-25

The Republican ticket was selected in
primaries and convention, in which there
was no dictation. Every member Of the
party was invited to attend and partic-
ipate in the primaries and convention,
and so far a Is known they did, OF al
least all who desired. The nominations
were made in the regular way and with
out any clash in the party ranks. Tn.
der such circumstances the natural con
cIusion Is that the ticket represents the
party and. OF course, will receive the
party vote. The opposite party has
many among its members who think
well OF the ticket and viii doubtless
support it.

The Importance of examining closely
the hair found on weapons was shown
In a case in which a Ratchet having
clotted blood and hair adherent to II
was produced as evidence against a
prisoner suspected of murder In a little
country town. 1t was found under his
bed. This, with other circumstantial
evidence, had turned public opinion
strongly against the prisoner. but when
the hair was examined by a micro
scopist who CHANGED to be in the court
room 1t was found not to be human.
but that OF some animal. This circum-
stance led to a more complete sitting
of the evidence, and the accused was
acquitted. 1t turned out that he had
killed u dog with the Ratchet and had
carelessly thrown the weapon under
the bed. So his life literally hung on Il
hair.
