Basis Of Prosecutions Case.

The case of the prosecution is based to
a great degree on single proposition:
If Caesar Young committed suicide
by shooting himself in the left side how
is it that the pistol was found in his
right-hand coat pocket?
The fatal nature of the wound pre-
cludfs beyond all reasonable doubt the
possibility of the dead man having put
the weapon there himself.
In connection with this, the prosecu-
ton will attempt to show that Caesar
Young never owned the pistol in question
and will place on the stand 9th avenue
pawnbroker named Hyman Stern, who
will swear that he sold the weapon found
by the police in Young's coat pocket, on
the day preceding the shooting, to a man
whom he identified by photograph as j.
Morgan Smitk-Nan Patterson's brother
in-law.
j. Morgan Smith fled the jurisdiction of
the state when his name was mentioned
in this connection.
The young actress has gained fully
twenty pounds since her Incarceration in
the Tombs. Much fuller in face and fig
ure dressed in a costume of dark tweed.

mourning veil, 1t was hard to believe that
this smiling young woman, tripping
through the somber court room, was
charged with violating the laws of God
and man. The prison pallor was on her
face but beyond that she appeared i'm

DIXON ON SPEED LAW FOR

Circuit Judge Holds it Bars HorseIess

Competition.

Sterling, H., Oct 15.-Judge f. o.
Heard, of the Lee county circuit court,
has handed down decision declaring
the ordinance passed by the Dixon
city council, limiting the speed Of
autos to six miles an nour, invalid and
unconstitutional. Judge Heard says
Said ordinance is void because,
while in some business portions of the
city of Dixon the rate of speed might
be limited to six or eight miles an hour
and be reasonable. yet as to the other
portions the limit is unreasonable, and
tends to create a monopoly in favor of
means of travel not included in the or
dinance, or expressly excepted from its
operation

ILLINOIS CHILD
LABOR LAW VALID
Appellate Court Decides That Act of
1908 Raising Age to 16 Takes
Place of Mining Statute.

Springfield, H.. Oct. 15.-The appel
late court, Third district handed down
a decision yesterday in a suit from
Macoupin county, which upholds the
validity of the child labor law of
1908, and declares that it supersedes
the section of the mining statute re
lating to the employment of boys. I'm
der the mining statute the age limit
was Il years, but under the child la
Dor act the limit is raised to 16 years.
and the court holds that, while the
mining law has not been directly re
pealed the new act takes its place so
far as the employment of minors is
concerned. The decision was in the
case of William Struther VS.. people,
Struther having been convicted of vio-
lating the law.
