Wilmington, Del, June. 27.-Arthur
Cornell, of Hartford City, Ind, who
was arrested on charge of man
slaughter in connection with the
lynching of George White last Mon
day night, was given hearing before
Magistrate Hollis Friday. Cornell was
Represented by ex-Congressman u.
Irving Handy and Sylvester Townsend,
Jr., and Attorney General Ward repre-
scented the state.
The witnesses for the state were
Detective Francis, Chief of Police
Black and Warden Meserve, of the.
county workhouse. The former testi-
fed that he heard a man named saun-
ders say in a saloon that Cornell was
at the lynching and was one of the
men imported for the purpose.
Chief Black and Warden Meserve
testified that they recognized Cornell
as one of those who were at the work
house when the doors we're broken
open and White taken out. Meserve
testified that Cornell said to him:
"You had better give up the keys and
save expense"

order Of Eagles, which body 10 holding
a carnival at Shellpot Park, near here,
this week. They said that he was at
the carnival during Monday afternoon
and evening and stayed there until It
closed at midnight. when they re-
turned him to Wilmington. This
precluded the possibility of his reach
ing the workhouse during the pro-
ceedings there, although It is not de-
MED that he went out with others and
saw part Of the lynching proceedings.
Attorney General Ward asked that
Cornell be held in bail for trial, but
Magistrate Hollis decided that there
was no evidence to warrant such &C.
ton and dismissed the defendant.
Cornell was greeted with loud cheers
as he left the courtroom.

Must hana.

Rooney must hang. The supreme
court decided that he must pay the
death penalty for the murder of Har-
old Sweet. The case is one of the
most peculiar in the criminal prac-
tice in this state. Rooney and two pals
attempted to hold up three young
boys named Sweet of White Earth,
Mimi, who were camping on the
outskirts of Fargo last August, en-
route to the harvest fields. Rooney
and Harold Sweet were engaged in
a scuff1e, when the latter was fatally
shot. Rooney was captured by the
fother brothers, and his partners fed.
Rooney was tried and convicted.
The hearing was during the legisla-
tive session which passed q bill re-
quiring that all executions should be
in the state prison at Bismarck. The
legislature also changed the law re-
quiring that six months must elapse
between the date sentence was inn
posed and the execution, as had for
merly been the practice.
After the measure had been signed
by Gov. White, Judge Pollock SEN
fenced Rooney in March to be hang
ed June 26 in the state prison, max
ing the date only little over three
months, as he had not been informed
of the time extension. When he
learned of the mistake the prisoner
was brought back from Bismarck and
new sentence imposed, to become
effective in September, and conform
ing with the law.

A Mere Slaughter.

The first chaotic and conflicting ac-
the King and Queen of Servia had at
least one CLEAN Of heroic light. It was
related that when the demand was made
upon the king with fourished swords
and drawn revolvers that he should put
away his wife and bind himself to certain
agreements, he drew his revolver and shot
to death Lieutenant Naurnovics, who pre-
scented the demand. That was done like a
king. It reminded the reader Of the
Castle Of Zenda,' prince Otto' and all
the host of romantic novels that are WOW
en- about the framework Of an imaginary
kingdom.
How quickly the reader made out the
heroic picture. The king stood there for
once in his life at least a king in very
fact, protecting his trembling WIFE, Be-
fore him thronged the bloodthirsty and
impassioned leaders of the revolution
eager to take his life and poised for the
least provocation. The king listens calm
ly to the demand, steps slowly back
draws a revolver and kills Naumovics.

royal pair fed in fright and were at last

1t only required a little courage and
good sense to stop this council habit Of
indiscriminate rebates on the taxes paid
for street improvements. After Mayor
Haynes had vetoed a rebate of assess
ments in excess Of $3.50 front foot on
improvements that cost from 80 to S. 10,
the council didn't have the nerve to at
tempt to pass such a raid on the treasury
over his head. Evidently we need an i'm

It is not long since Cole Younger was

Minnesotans to recognize that they mis-
Judged the man and made a grave mis-
take in pardoning him. If he were to be
brought back to-day in some way and
locked up in the Saltwater prison again,
the public would never give any more

it does to that of the most vulgar muir
