HUSBAND TELLS Her STORY

She returned home before dinner and
an hour later she and her husband
went out In. 4 1eld where lay the
carcass Of dead sheep and rubbed
the strychnine in the wool, with the
idea Of poisoning troublesome dogs.
Tells Of Harrsun's Death.
When Walter Harroun came home
that evening, according to the testi-
mony OF his wife, he complained OF
pain in the shoulder. Mrs. Harroun
said she administered to him little
whisky in a cup. Walter Harroun
sat at the supper table, but seemed to
be i'll and ate sparingly. Suddenly he
placed his hand on his heart with an
exclamation OF pain aud arising,
staggered against the door Of the
apartment. His wife helped him to
bed and sfter placing hot applications
to his body began rubbing his limbs.
Harroun trembled violently and told
his wife that he was afraid he was
going TO die. Mrs. Hsrroun deuied
that her husband frothed at the
mouth.
In refutxyion OF the evidence Of
several witness submitted BY the
prosecution. Mrs. Harroun said on
the stand FRIDAY afternoon that DR..
Murray had never kissed her or lain
upon her bed when she was i'll. She
declared that she had never asked Or.
Murray for poison and also denied the
allegation that her late husband had
twitted her about attempting to pol
son him. She might have thought
Walter jealous of DR.. Murray, but
told nobody. She didn't remember
swearing at Walter, Her husband
had struck her once with his hand,
but apologized later.
DR.. Gregory, who made the autopsy
on the body, said his opinion 1t that
time was that Walter died OF dis
tended stomach, caused by chronic
indigestion.
Expsfts Testify.
The defense ia the Harfoun case
introduced two Witnesses 20 give expert
testimony ia che defendants favor.
DR.. Walter Kempster, Of Nilwau
kee, an insanity expers, said in answer
to a long hypothetical question, that
in his opinion, Harroun did not die Of
stryehnine poisoning, but from an
enormous distension Of the stomach,
following indigestion, caused by over
eating after m attack OF typhoid
fever.
He stated that the strychnine that
| was found did not cause the death,
and that in the event Of death having
been caused by strychnine, the
| symptoms exhibited on the deaf b bed
would have been vastly different from
those described by the states Wit
nesses. He also expressed tile opinion
that from testimony presented Har'
roun was, prior 20 his death, existiDs
in 4 state OF Dement'S bordering OF
Insanity.
DR.. o. T. Hougen, OF Grand Rapids
corroborated the opinions Of DR.
Kempster.

THE MAN BEHIND
THE CIGAR SPEAKS

Editor Advertiser:-I noticed an ar
tiele in the morning paper a protest
from One Honolulu Woman in regard to
smoking in the Orpheum. L beg leave
to say to a certain extent and in my
point of view that the Honolulu woman
made great mistake in her criticism
in the article.
I am one among many who are fond
of smoking as the Honolulu Woman
would say, and if the lady does not
enjoy the bar-room flavor, as she calls
it, she can remain at home.
To stop smoking in the Orpheum is
out of the question. Can the managers
of the Orpheurl lose their patrons by
putting a stop to smoking for the sake
of few ladies? The majority of the
people who go there are usually men,
and they win not enjoy the play with
out cigar.
If the odor is so offensive as to keep
her away from church, why should she
go to the Orpheum at all? It is for the
convenience of the people, not merely
for one or two. The Orpheum Theater
Company cannot advance a step toward
this movement under any circum-
stances.

JUDGE HART ON
VACCINATION

Editor observation-disclosures is quite
correct in his statement in your paper

ton is still enforced in Scotland and
also in Ireland.
The act passed by the British parlia-
ment in 1888 is before me and 1 regret
having erred in speaking OF it as apply
ing to the whole of Great Britain; but
Mr.. Editor, thereby hangs a tale" In
1901 there was an outbreak of smallpox
in Glasgow. and from an English Jour
nal of that year cut the following in
reference to it, 1t is spoken of as the
worst epidemic known in that city for
thirty years-and is of course the chief
medical topic of the month. 1t is re-
markable that Glasgow was one of the
best vaccinated cities in the Kingdom,
and Sir James Russell, its former med
ical officer, boosted that he had Sc
cured vaccination and revaccination
there to an extent unparalleled in any
other locality. England with it's 3,0UU,-
900 unvaccinated children, and many
more millions of adults whose vaccina-
ton has long since worn out is safer
than vaccinated and revaccinated Scot

Mr.. Vandeventer's speech says it
was the most uncompromising
and energetic attack upon the pub
lie record of the governor that has
ever been made in all the history
of the commonwealth of Arkansas.
Mr.. Vandeventer is an orator of
wonderful power, with full, deep
voice and magnetic manner, and
his resonant periods, Numbered

nunciatlon, stirred upon the peo-
pie until long before the close of

wagon whereon 10 stood had in
creased 20 many times its original
proportions, and broke tumultu-
ously into cheers again and again.
He accused the governor of the
grosest nepotism, of misuse OF the
pardoning power, and stated that
he had devoted nearly 600 words
In his last message to the appoint
ment of beer inspector, and had
not said one word about the edrca.
