poses Death Penalty.

At Rock Rapids jury Friday found
Charles Rocker guilty of the murder
of August Schroeder at Doom, Ia, June
30, 1901, and fixed the penalty at
death. Rocker worked for Schroeder
on farm. Becoming infatuated with
Mrs. Schroeder he gave Schroeder
drugged whiskey and then beat him to
death and hanged the body in the
barn to suggest suicide.
Later Rocker married Mrs. Schroe-
der. who had in the meantime secured
$4,000 insurance on her husbands life.
When child was born, Rocker pro-
posed to kill it. and when the woman
protested against the horrible sugges-
ton, Rocker told her he had killed
Schroeder. Mrs. Schroeder was able
to appear as the principal witness, it
being shown that the second marriage
was void, as Rocker had wife living
from whom he had not been divorced.

Yet notwithstanding this they made

prompted by his ambition to be presi-
dent Of the United States at the same
time by his taking up the cause OF
the common people he has shown
that he is right when working for
their interests and that he is willing
to give his time and money for the
cause. His winning in two great
suits against trusts which are robbing
the common people, which he volun-
tarily instituted because the republi-
can officials OF the government who
are empowered to do such work refused

credit to him as a man. \
1t is not the purpose of this paper
to say whether or not Hearst's candi.

or suitable one but the Times Tribune
does accord to Mr.. Hearst the thanks
OF the people which are due to him
for taking up their battle and fighting
