TAMPERED WITH
THE BALLOT BOXES
VOTES ARE DECLARED TO HAVE
BEEN PUT IN BOX SINCE ELEc-
TloN-REPuBLlcANs ARE CON-
FlDENT.

Denver, Colo, December 23.-In de-
Tending Clarence P. Dixon, an election
clerk charged with contempt In having
permitted illegal voting at the Novem-
Der election, In violation Of the supreme
courts Injunction, Attorney Philip Horn
bein declared in open court today that
the ballot box must have been tampered
with since the election. The experts
report had shown that there were 81 bal
lots In the box which were folded in such
manner as to show that they were not
deposited singly in the usual manner
through the opening In the box.
1T is impossible" said Mr.. Hornbein,
that any election officer put the ballots
In that box. The supreme court watchers
were there ten days, they stayed until
the morning after the election when the
box was taken to the court house, and
they did not allege any stuffing of the
box had been done, and the only theory
l have for the presence Of these ballots
in the ballot box is, that they were put
there by some persons not connected with
the democratic organization"
Mr. HorbeIn asked the court to order
an investigation of the men who have
been acting as guardians Of the ballot
boxes at the court house, and at the
state house, when they were opened for
investigation. He intimated that the
watchers had been bribed and had per-
mitted the extraction of good ballots, and
the insertion of fraudulent ballots. No
action was taken by the court on the at
torney's charge. The court took the case
under advisement until tomorrow.
According to a report published In the
Times today, it has been definitely de-
cided by the republican leaders to claim
the election of Alma Adams as governor
before the legislature, by which the vote
is canvassed. Their purpose 1t Is said Is
to submit evidence of the frauds commit
ted in Nine Denver precincts. over which
the supreme took jurisdiction, and ask TO
have the entire vote of all these precincts
rejected In accordance with the example
of the court which threw out the votes
of FIVE precincts, where 1t was shown
by evidence In contempt cases that its
injunction had been violated.
No mors contempt cases will be tried
until after the holidays.

SHELL HAD BEEN
IN HOME FOR YEARS
MISSILE WHICH KILLED MRS.
BARNES HAD BEEN USED AS A
RATTLE BY HER CHILDREN
YEARS AGO.

Detroit, December 2s-Thomas E.
Barnes, whose wife was instantly killed
ie ther honfe here yesterday. by the ex-
plosion of a "one-pounder" shell, today
told a remarkable story of the history Of
the shell. 1t had been in his wifes fam
lily, he said, for a number of years
before her marriage, her brother, y. lllam
Mahu, having brought it home as curio
when he was an apprentice in the navy.
When Miss Mahu was married to Barnes
she brought the shell to her new home
with her other possessions Mr.. Barnes
says she has used it repeatedly to crack
nuts with, that the family used 1t for a
paper weight and that both the children
used it for rattle.
There was something. inside" he said
that rattles, and the children would
amuse themselves shaking it. 1 have seen
1t fall out of the baby cab to the floor
many times. During all these years there
was never a suspicion that 1t was not
an empty shell like three similar cart
ridges that had been in my wifes fam
Iy."

remanded the prisoner for the time be-
| ing, and she was led back once more
across the bridge of sighs to the cell In
| the Tombs prison.
Justice Davis after a consultation with
the foreman of the jury, said:
Il have been informed that the jury
stood six for acquttal and six for con-
viction. AS to how the six for conviction
stood as regards the degrees of crime 1
was not informed, nor can l consclen-
tiously seek information on the subject"
Foreman Harmon said II would like
to give you more information but prior
| to our coming into court this morning
we adopted a resolution not to make
public what trsnspired in the jury room
during the long deliberation"
How many ballots were there?"
I'VE only took one ballot, but then you
know we did not proceed in that way.
We found there was such vast differ
enee of opinion amongst us that we spent
the remainder of the time ir argument"
After the prison physician had admin
istered stimulents to Miss Patterson in
her cell she recovered some of her former
self-possession. Her father wept with
her.
do you think" she asked the Tombs
missionary, that the jury believed me
guilty because l broke down and cried
along toward the last there? You remem-
ber after 1 had stood Mr.. Rand's attack
as long as | could. l just had to break
down and cry. and | thought that maybe
they believed that 1 was that kind of
woman.
The missionary reassured her and she
became more cheerful.
Hope for Release.
81 al Mo-.
Patterson said after the jury had been
| discharged: I'VE will not take any fur
ther action in the case until we learn
what District Attorney Jerome intends
| to do.
/ I'VE have reason to hope, however, that
he will consent to her release on her own
recognizance pending further disposition
J of the case.
Already telegrams have begun to come
! into the rombs for Miss Patterson from
friends who point out to her that the
| disagreement of the jury goes to show
| that she will be finally acquitted OF the
charge on which she was indicted.
This afternoon after a careful consid-
Grafton of the present aspects Of the case,
/ one Of Miss Patterson's counsel felt it
would be the part of wisdom to wait
| until the smoke of battle had cleared
| away before taking the next move. He
said it was a pity that Miss Patterson
would have to stay in her cell over
Christmas but he saw no way to prevent
1t. Sometime next week, he said her coun-
sci would probably ask bali for her and
that the 10000 bail in which she was first
held be reduced The future OF her case.
he declared would depend great deal
upon the attitude Of the six members of
the jury who were opposed to her ac-
quittal. particularly as to the degree Of
the crime Of which they would have con-
yicted her.

I was lying down at the foot of that

second lieutenant, was standing over
me tying up my head. I felt some

Farthest North Civil War Fights.
During the last term of the Schuyler
county court discussion arose among
the attorneys one evening as to the To-
cation of the most northern battle of
the civil war. Several of the United
States histories refer to LEES attack on
Meade at Gettysburg as the scene of the
most northern battle. There was a
skirmish at Lancaster in November,
1861, and regular pitched battle at
Athens, in Clarke county, Mo-, in which
several were killed on both sides. The
latter fight occurred the first Monday
in August of that year. Both of these
points are so or 70 miles north of Gettys-
burg, and. were close to the Iowa line.
