KILLED BY FREIGHT TRAIN
sIsTERsVILLE, w. VA.

Extra freight No. 227 on the
Short Line, struck Sedwick Swi-
CERT, just below Smithfeld, in
Wetzel county, w. Va, Friday
morning at about 1870 O'Clock
intlicting injuries from which the
unfortunate man died about one
hour later, says the Wetzel Re-
publican.
Swigert, with a cousin by the
same name, was walking along
the railroad track near Archers,
when the extra freight came in
sight. The men were walking in
the opposite direction from the
train and were in a narrow cut.
Both men started to run in the
opposite direction from which
the train was coming, but diagO-
nally across the track. From
the most reliable information OBJ
tainable, when the unfortunate
man was almost across the track
he started to cross to the opposite
side. The engineer only had time
to give the danger signal and as
Swigert stepped from the track
the pilot of the engine struck

New Martinsville, Oct. 1.-The
murder trial of the State of West
Virginia VS.. Randolph Six of
Burchfeld, Wetzel county, who is
| charged with the crime of MUIR
dering his wife by means of strik-
ing her on the head with an ak,
is being tried in the Circuit court
with Judge M. H. Willis on the
bench. The Court appointed the
following attorneys of the Wetzel
County bar for SKIS defense: j.
w. McIntire, M. R. Morris, both
of New Martinsville, and w. G..
Snodgrass of Burton. Prosecut-
ing Attorney E. l.. Robinson and
Assistant Prosecutor E. B. Snod-
grass will prosecute the case.
A jury was empanelled who
were critically selected, and both
sides or the case was very ably
presented. The State has begun
| the prosecution in which a great
many witnesses have been eXamin-
ed.
About July % last the fact has
come to light that Six made con-
fession to the following gentlemen
to the murder as charged in in
dictment: Messrs. Geo. Francis,
Spencer Postlethwait, VIM. Shu-
man and Prosecuting Attorney E.

SIX ON
TRIAL FOR MURDER

jected on the ground that Six
made the confession under duress
or by promise. This. point was
very ably discussed on both sides
and the prisoner was placed on
the witness stand in his own be-
half.
The matter was decided in favor
of the State and evidence offered
in effect as follows: That on the
day Of the murder the wife of Six
for some unknown reason began
crying after her husband and fol-
lowing him wherever he went, and
the prisoner becoming worried
and disguSted with such conduct
on the part of his wife took an ak
and started for nearby forest to
chop some wood; that after he
had gone to the woods and not be-
ing there very long his wife fol-
lowed him, still crying. He states
in the confession he tried to in
duce his wife to go back to the
house and cease crying, but all in
vain. He eventually struck her on
the head with the ak once and
perhaps more than once.
The State is introducing strong
circumstantial evidence against
the prisoner.
As yet it is not known what de-
fense the attorneys for the pris-
oner will produce, but it is evil
dent that the question of insanity
will be their last resort.

| Under the above title the New Yorl
World. the leading Democratic news
paper 10 America, prints the following
Illuminating editorial:
The antitrust law was framed by 1
Republican, was passed BY Republi.
can house and q Republican senate,
was signed bya Republican president.
The law remained 0 dead letter on
the statute books during the entire
second term Of Grover Cleveland, .
Democratic president. Through those
four years Of Democratic administra-
tion oil appsals and ell efforts Of the
World to nave the law enforced were
met with sneers, jsers. and open con-
tempt from . Democratic attorney
general. Richard Olney. who pretend
Cd that the law was constitutional
and who would do nothing toward
prosecuting violators Of It.
The first effort to enforce the law
was made BY Theodore Roosevelt, q
Republican president. The drst at.
tcrnsy.general to vigorously prose-
cute offenders and to test the law was
Republican attorney.gener Phil
ander G. Knox.
The decision Of the supreme court
Of the United States, given as final
ity from which there is no appeal, up
holding the law as perfectly constitu-
tionsl and absolutely impregnable in
every respect, as the World for twelve
years constantly insisted, was due to
five judges, every one Of whom is q
Republican. 4
The dissenting minority Of the
court included every Democratic
Judge Of that tribunal, to.wit. Chief
Justice Fuller, Of Illinois. Mr.. Justice
White. Of Louisiana, and Mr.. Justice
Peckham, Of New York. All these
distinguished Democrats not only
voted against the constitutionality Of
the law, but denounced 1t as o danger
to the Republic.
Under these circumstances 1t does
not seem probable that the Democrats
can make great capital in seeking to
the antitrust issue and
charging the Republican party with
the crime Of being owned body and
'oul BY the trusts.
1t 10 Just as we'll to record some
plain truths, however unpleasant or
'urpriEing.
