KEYTEsvILLE, MISSOURI, FRIDAY JULY s 1903
Attempted Suicide.

Word comes from Salisbury
that Mrs. j. G. Gallemore, wife
of the editor of the Salisbury
ess-Spectator, made an at
tempt at suicide last Friday af-
ternoon by the carbolic acid
route.
By the timely use of the
stomach pump the lady's life
was saved, but she is still in a
critical condition.
She has, as yet, assigned no
cause for her desire to end her
earthly career, but has promised
friends to tell them as soon as
she gets stronger, and says she
is too weak to tell them now.
Mrs. Gallemore was formerly
Miss Hettie Trent.

A Model of Correctness.

The Keytesville Signal denies
having stolen the Jas. F. Taylor
Shorthorn- Item from the COURIER
but admits that it appropriated
the amount Of the purchase price
from this paper.
The Signal was not sure of its
footing, which proves that it has
more confidence in the COURIER
than in.the senior proprietor of the
Signal, who, it says, was given the
item in question at the Keytes-
vile station by Mr.. Taylor him
self. No higher compliment could
be paid the COURIER by the Sig
nal than for it to regard the
COURIER as a model of correct
ness.
We, therefore, doff our best hat
to the entire force Of our contem-
porary.
AS the Signal, like the Arkan-
sas fiddler, is unquestionably
"doing the best it can" we deem
it our solemn duty to cease to
:'shoot' in that direction.
White winged peace now how
ers over and around and about
the COURIER and Signal. Our
sword is sheathed and the loads
have been drawn from our
artillery.
Come up, boys, and take one
at our expense, since you have
so far failed to set 'em up to that
''spiked lemon ade' we really be-
heved to be on you.

guilty to murder in the second
degree. j. A. Collet, attorney for
White, therefore, entered a plea
of guilty to murder in the second
degree and the prisoner was
/ sentenced to term of 80 years
in the state penitentiary. While
Judge Butler was passing the
sentence, aside from a slight
trembling of the hand in which
he held his hat, White stood
with seemingly as little emotion
as a marble statue, and did not
bat an eye nor move a muscle,
but he subsequently told Deputy
Sheriff Shaughnessy that he
(White) guessed he ought to
have been sent up for a thous-
and years for having acted the
id fool. Whether he referred
to his killing Coleman or his plea
of guilty is not known.
While there is an occasional
criticism of Judge Buffers ver-
dict, the result seems to have
given general satisfaction. Those
who desired a conviction of
White were not moved by pas
sion or malice, but were desirous
that the majesty of the law be
preserved and that the crime
should not go unpunished. Pro-
lection for society and the value
of human life must be recog-
nized and the courts are looked
to with confidence and expec-
fancy of justice.
But the case is ended, and
beyond the punishment in prison
the condemned man with crimi-
nal record is before that tribunal
that never errs. Such occur
rences are not more frequent in
Charlton than in other counties,
but they are to be deplored.
Men must put value on human
life or be restrained as any other
irrational and unsafe animal.
The fair name of justice has
been preserved in Charlton, but
may the county henceforth be
forever free from a like tragedy.

WHITE PLEADS GUILTY.
To the Murder of Charles G. Coleman, and is Sem
fenced to Term of Thirty Years in the Pen
itentiary by Judge John P. Butler
VERDICT is GENERALLY APPROVED

AS far as Charlton county is
concerned, the final chapter in
tragedy has been enacted. On
a plea to murder in second de-
gree, William G.. White was,
Monday of this week, sentenced
to term of 80 years in the PEN
itentiary for the killing of Charles
c. Coleman in Keytesville on the
9th day of April, 1908.
1t is possible that no crime had
been perpetrated in Charlton
county for years that aroused
public feeling to the extent as
did this murder. The COURIER
of date May 1 gave complete
account Of the tragedy, and our
readers are too familiar with
the facts to warrant detailed
review at this time. In brief, the
occurrence was as follows:
White was living with his wife,
whom he had married after they
had been living together for
sometime as husband and wife.
The woman's reputation was not
of good caste, and she was really
regarded as unchaste. On the
evening of April ~ she reported
to White that Coleman had in
suited her, a statement that very
few, if any, believed to be true.
She had asked Coleman for
money with which to buy intoxi-
cants, and Coleman refused her.
This angered her and she after
wards executed her threat to
1'tell Bill" When White went
home that evening she told him
something, and he came down
town and hunted up Coleman,
whom he found in Thrash Bros
grocery store, and deliberately
shot him, inflicting wounds from
which he died between two and
three hours later.
White assumed the bravo and
proved himself the cold-blooded
creature that he is. After killing
Coleman he went home, but soon
returned and surrendered to
Sheriff Veatch and was placed in
Jail where he has been ever
since.
At the May, 1908, term of
circuit court, Judge Butler call
ed a special term for Monday,
July 27, to try the case. Emil
nent and able counsel appeared
for both the prosecution and the
defense. The state was Represent
ed by Prosecuting Attorney L..
N. Dempsey and Messrs. Ball &
Sparrow of Louisiana, Mo-, while
j. A. Collet and H. J. West ap-
peared for the defense. An in.
teresting trial was looked for.
Long before court convened hum
.'dreds of people were here from
different parts of the county,
and it was evident that the ex-
citement aroused on the night Of
the killing had only been slum-
bering. However cool heads
prevailed and the law was per-
mitGed to take its course.
Among the multitude of people
here were many who were not re-
lated to or interested in either fac
ton. These had come with that
curiosity and love for the sensa-
tomato hear the awful story
told and listen to the oratory Of
the lawyers. But they were
disappointed. By consent o1
the prosecution the charge o.
murder in the first degree was
withdrawn, with the understand
ing that White was to pleae

Steer Worth $4,000.

The Massengale-Rice steer
case, taken on change of venue
from Charlton to Howard county,
was tried at Fayette the latter
part of last week, but resulted
in hung jury, seven of whom
were for Rice and five for
Massengale. Litigation in this
case was commenced about
four years ago, Mr.. Massengale,
a resident of Macon, having
started the legal mill to grind
ing by claiming a steer from
among those on the farm of E.
E. Rice, who lives in Bee Branch
township, this county. Quite a
number of trials have taken
place ranging from the justice
court to the Kansas City court
of appeals. Rice won in the
circuit court, and Massengale
appealed to the Kansas City
court of appeals, where he suc-
ceeded in having the case re-
manded to the circuit court for
new trial, and it finally landed
in Howard county on change
of venue. The steer at the time
of the commencement of the suit
was worth about $50, but in the
past four years his value has in
creased an hundred fold, the
costs in the case now amounting
to about $1,000. The end is
not yet, and the steer still lives.
Lucky steer! For had it not
been for this suit he would have
been cut up into roasts and
steaks long ago.

ON COIN REDEMPTION

From all accounts, the job of hand
ling the Hawaiian silver coinage for
redemption Is not altogether a sinecure
with a large and fat fee attached to It.
The Secretary OF the Treasury has the
appointment of the commission to
handle the money and as Uncle Sam Is
very jealous OF people who handle his
finances, the man who does the WORK
will have to put up bond of 81 $780,
900 for the faithful performance of his
Duties.
Besides having only the honor of the
position as pay for his pains. the COM
missioner will be personally respons-
ible for the money. Each coin is worth
either 100 cents II perfect or but 81
cents II under certain weight. when
clean.
Should the coin be rejected by the
Gub-treasurer then the commissioner
who passed II as coed will have to
stand the loss.
With 100000 to handle, there is d
possibility Of the commissioner coming
out at the little end of the horn finan'
Cially. besides his loss of time.
1t is estimated that the work of eX
change will take about three months
