"BILL" RICHARDS GETS SEN.
TENcE OF SAME LENGTH AS
THAT OF BAIRD.
WILL APPEAL HIS CASE
Little Court Room Was Packed While
Judge Apologize Pronounced SEN
tence Richards Still Maintains
That He is Innocent.

Indianola, Sept. 80. - Especially -
Eighteen years imprisonment at hard
labor in the penitentiary at Fort Mad
ison is the sentence imposed this
morning upon William A. Richards by
Judge Apologize, before whom the
memorable trial of the former deputy
United States marshal was tried on the
charge of completely in the robbery of
Mrs Sarah Sullivan and her former
husband, P. Sullivan, at Hamilton on
the evening of January 2, 1908. Judge
Apologize this morning overruled the
motions of the counsel for the defense
for new trial and passed sentence
according to the verdict of the jury,
giving Richards the same sentence as
that imposed upon his alleged accom-
plice, Frank Baird, who confessed that
he committed the crime with which he
was charged.
A Tragic Scene.
The scene in the little court room
of the Warren county court house,
which has seen so many notable trials
during the past quarter of a century,
was tragic one and one which will
not soon be forgotten by any of the
hundreds of people who jostled each
other to get view of the prisoner
when sentence was passed. Bill"
Richards, known all over Iowa for
the past decade as fearless and
formidable officer of the law, was no
better known anywhere than in In
dianola. Here he lived years ago
when only young man. All the old
a,, If no 1itfIe. l,,,n x1y
him, and although all do not pity him
nor sympathize with him in his pres
ent trouble, the sympathy of everyone
| who knows the family goes out to
| the little, broken down man who has
been in court ever since the trial be-
gan, sitting quietly with straining
ears to hear every word of evidence,
every syllable of the arguments made
| by the lawyers. This is the aged
/ father OF the defendant, who has liv.
ed for years in Indianola and who still
lives there. "Old Man Richards,
quiet and unassuming, has many
friends in Indianola and throughout
! Warren county and his misfortune
falls heavily upon him.
i Maintains Innocence.
In the face of the mountain of evil
| Il
| dence that has been introduced by the
state to show Richards guilt, the vet
eran officer has steadfastly maintain
ed that he is innocent of the robbery
or any knowledge of it and this morn
ing when Judge Applegate asked hin
1 the usual question as to whether he
could give any reason why judgmen
should not be passed upon him, he an
swered that he was innocent of tn,
charge but that he would leave thu
whole matter to the court.
VIII Appeal Case.
i Immediately after the court hat
! placed the length of sentence at eight
4 en4 years the counsel for the defend
ant gave notice that the case would b.
4 appealed to the supreme court. The ap
peal bond was fixed at $4,000 and ha
been provided. Richards will be a
liberty until action it taken by the su
preme court with regard to the case.

The widely heralded discovery of
formalin as a cure for blood poisoning
is now declared by New York phys
clans to be a failure. Tests which
they have made are said to have
shown that formalin is only a tenn
porary check to the growth of the
germs and in the long run proves an
injury to the patient. Rabbits infected
with blood poison germs and sub
jected to formalin treatment deid
several hours sooner than rabbits sim
ilarly infected and not placed under
the treatment.
DR.. George F. Shrady says he re-
CARDS the result of the tests conducted
by the archaeological expert of the
health department as confirming his
view and that of many others Of the
profession that the formalin treatment
was a failure.
1T has gone the way of many Other
suddenly heralded cures" said DIR
Shrady. when it was first announced
it struck the medical profession with
wonder that such a simple remedy
should have 50 long been overlooked
That had much to do with the sceptic
ism with which it vas regarded"

NOT DESERVED.

The legislature has named a new
county in this territory in honor of
President Roosevelt. The compliment
d not deserved by Mr.. Roosevelt. He
used New Mexico and Arizona as
stepping stones to reach the presi-
dency and then spurned his humble
friends and refused to make good his
public pledges regarding the admis-
sion of these territories to statehood.
In this respect Mr.. Roosevelt is not
different to the ward politicians of all
the states and territories. His prom
Uses are subject to revision n he has
turned upon the people who followed
him from Santa Fe to San Juan hill.
But for the opposition of President
Roosevelt New Mexico and Arizona
would now be states of the American
union. When the bills creating Quay
and Roosevelt counties passed the ter
riforial council yesterday a resolution
was passed notifying Senator Quay that
a county was named in his honor be
cause OF his faithful and untiring
work for the territory. A similar reso'
luton could not be passed for Presi

THE STATEHOOD BLOCKADE.

The concessions made by the advo-
Gates of the omnibus statehood bill in
favor of the consideration of the Pana-
ma canal treaty will commend them
selves to the country. says the Kan
xas City Star. The Importance of
the canal project is fully appreciated
by the public at large. The urgency
of having the treaty disposed of at
the present session, of which but two
weeks remain, is sufficient reason for
making 1t a special order of business.
The fact that 1t does not disturb the
place Of the statehood bill as the regu.
lar order. and the additional fact that
the canal treaty cannot be considered
without the consent of the statehood
supporters, open the way for the dis
posal of the question.
In the meantime, however, the ma.
jority of the people will take satisfac-
tion in the position that Senator Quay
and his followers have maintained,
The omnibus bill is now attached to
the appropriations bill as a rider. and
in this relation will become a law OF

In the matter Of atmosphere abso-

that has placed James Neill and his

When Charles Klein originally wrote
Hon. John Grigsby" for Sol. Smith
Russell, the action was confined main
ly to n scene-the interior of the
law office OF John Grigsby, looking
out on the public square of a little
Illinois town. This is said to be char
acteristic with the heavy, square desks,
made when lumber was cheap; the
rusty, old stove, the battered book
cases, filled with dogs cared volumes
of legal lore, and the armchair, made
out of a barrel sawed in half. Every
property from the quill pens to the
woodbox and the old fashioned sulphur
matches is claimed to be typical of the
times.
But the matter of wallpaper proved
a difficult N Mr.. Neil was some,
what puzzled at first to figure out the
styles of wallpaper in Illinois during
the late forties. He consulted authori.
ties and sought high and low for old
wallpaper.
Finally. he found in an old volume OF
Godey's Ladies' Book a plate showing

the interior of a boudoir of the period
and incidentally the wallpaper in col
ors. 1t was a pale pink with vertical
lavender stripes and flowers scattered
all v rel 1t. Since such patterns are
now obsolete, the plate was turned
over the scene painter, who proceed
ed to paint the walls with historically
correct If aesthetically outer designs
in imitation wallpaper. So the ghost
of John Grigsby should he revisit the
scene, should feel thoroughly at home.
