theory that the shooting was an ac-

deliberate murder. Although numer-

sufficient income promotes comfort,

If you have health and money you can

"Mr, Crump, the sentence of this
court is that YOU be confined in the
state prison at Waupun at hard labor
for twenty five years from this noon
and that the first twenty four hours
be spent in solitary confinementn was
the sentence prom unced by Judge
Smith in superior court this morning
upon the slayer of Gordon II Camp
bell.
1t was Just 9:35 O'Clock this morn
ing when the twelve jurors of the
Crump case, worn and haggard by
their vigil of over sixty hours; filed
slowly into the court room and ar
ranged themselves at the right of
Judge Smith. The prisoner and his
attorney, II. W. Dietrich, had entered
the court room five minutes earlier
and taken seats directly in front of
the bar. Upon question from Judge
Smith, the foreman of the jury hand
ed the former the writtoa verdict o!
murder in the second degree and a
plea for judicial leniency. The jury
was then dismissed.
Attorney Dietrich, upon a request
from Judge Smith as to whether he
had any further remarks to make, ap.
preached the bar and in quiet uuim
passioned voice urged that the court
show mercy in that the very verdict of
second degree murder, reached only
after long deliberation, showed a
compromise on the part of the jurors.
Further he urged that murder in the
second degree is the most vague of
all degrees and covers a surprisingly
broad latitude of crime. This has
been SO decided by the supreme court
he stated The man Crump mad shown
no depraviIy of mind except when
under the influence of of liquor. Fur
ther there was no motive shown for
the murder, which wac committed in
the openess of day with no attempt
at secretion. In view Of these facts
The attorney urged that under the cir
cumstances the court should exercise
unusual leniency.
Calmly self possessed to surpris-
ing degree yet showing physical evil
dences of the strain under which he
has been laboring, Crump rose and in
response to statement made by
Judge Smith that he could make any
remarks he desired concerning the
imposition of his sentence, stated in a

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

The irregularity in the receipts of Butter
and Eggs. as printed yesterday and to-day
has been due to belated arrivals. which caused
apparent light deliveries one day and corre-

was about normal.

easy, but unchanged. The finest creameries
were firm enough, but the medium grade
creameries dragged and were offered at con-
cessions. Some fine Eastern creamery is COM

and sold as California creamery, which weak
