the Warden ranch to note the effects

very ticky, were found to be entirely
free of tick and suffering little incon-
venience from having been immersed
in the oily fluid, Sufficient Of the oil

Tonight all Kansas streams are

to flee from their homes, driving their
cattle before them and taking horses

BY tomorrow noon the Kaw will

Murphy, attorneys for appellant.
The prisoners were convicted of mur-
der in the first degree. A motion for
new trial was denied. They nave ap-
pealed from the order and judgment.
In empaneling the trial jury Richard
Berry was examined. touching his
qualification as a juror. He stated in
substance that he thought he had con-
We. sed with some of the witnesses,
and with persons who pretended TO
know the facts; that he had read news
paper accounts of the crime; that he
had heard and read that deceased had
been killed on freight train east OF
LoveIock, about August goth last. and
prior to his death had identified the
prisoners. or some of them, as the
guilty parties. That he had formed
and expressed an opinion with refer
ence to the guilt or innocence of the
prisoners; that his opinion became
fixed and definite at the time he read
and heard of the offense and he then
had such opinion based upon what
he had heard, and that he had ex-
pressed that opinion.
He was then challenged on the
ground that he had formed and ex-
pressed an unqualified opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the accused.
In ross-examination by the prose-
cution he testified that his mind was
not then in condition to render ver-
diet against the prisoners from what
he had heard: that his opinion was
formed upon general rumors and from
what he had read In the newspapers;
one a fair trial and rest his verdict
upon the law and evidence; that II
what he had heard and read was true.
the prisoners were guilty and If untrue
were not guilty of the effense charged,
and II sworn as juror he would lay
aside anything he had heard and try
the case upon the evidence and law
and render a true verdict accordingly.
The court then asked him the follow
ing question: II understand you 10
say you are conscious that If you are
sworn and accepted as a juror, you
could put aside everything you have
heard and read and try the case ac-
cordlng to the evidence and the law
and give the defendants fair and i'm
| partial trial" To which he answered:
II could" The court overrued the
challenge. Defendants whose pre-emp-
| tory challenges were exhausted before
/ the completion of the jury excepted.
| Given full consideration to all or the
| testimony contained in the above state
ment of the juror 1t shows that he
had expressed an unqualified opinion
4 that the prisoners were guilty or not
guilty of the offense charged.

Act (sec. 4sO5. Cuttings Compiiation)
The daily silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1903-1907, 1904-07-09

enumerates nine seperate cases for a
Sect. 43O5 (Sec. 34O) A challenge for
implied bias may be taken for all or
any of the following causes:
Eigth Having formed or expressed an
unqualified opinion or belief that the
prisoner is guilty of the offense charg
ed; provided, that such unqualified
opinion or belief shall not have been
formed or expressed or based upon the
reading of newspaper accounts of the
transaction.
That the Jurors opinion was not bas-
ed upon newspaper accounts alone Is
satisfactorily shown not only by his
testimony in response to questions by
counsel upon either side but in reply
to the questions asked by the court
at the conclusion of his examination.
The answer made by the juror In
cross examination could not affect the
question of his competency under the
statute
AS was said by the Supreme Court of
California on a similar case: 1t was
of no sort of import whether he. I'm
fact had any prejudice against the
,1.aft +,
posed as juror. he would be govern
ed By the evidence or not. The ad
mitted fact being that he had un-
qualifedly expressed his opinion upon
the question of the guilt or innocence
of the prisoner, he thereby became, in
Judgment of law, incompetent to serve
as iuror-just as if 1t had appeared
that he was related by consanguinity
to the prisoner (also a ground of chal-
lenge for implied bias in which case
il oull be idle to inquire of the pro-
posed juror wwIether or not. in his
opinion he could Civ h.s accused kins-
man an impartial trial"

The man who handles the local de-
partment of a newspapers learns after
due experience not to expect very
many thanks for column OF pleasant
things, but he knows as surely as come

there is unintentional mistakes win
cause someone to be heard. Also that
when he has made pleasant mention
999 times of some person, place or
thing, but on the thousandth time
fails to do SO. he must not expect to
be forgiven. The omission may have
been from accident, inadvertence or
even an entire lack of knowledge. 1t
not. The simple fact remains
that he will be iud-ed on that. He
may say good things about some busi-
ness man for weeks, but let him make
some mistake and the good things said
are forgotten and the mans business
is denied him.
