The Rooney case is again on the
boards and Representative Spalding
of this state appeared in the supreme
court few days ago to argue 1t be-
fore that tribunal. Rooney is now in
the penitentiary under sentence Of
death, for q murder committed in
Cass county two years ago. This
murder was committed before the pas
sage Of the law changing the manner
Of executing capital sentences and
changing the place from the county In
which tie crime was committed to the
state penitentfdry : at Bismarck.
Rooney's attorneys. Newman, Spaid-
ing & Stambaugh, brought case
in the supreme court. Of this state,
whose aim was to relieve Rooney
OF the penalty of his crime, 1t
being claimed that the law was
an ex post facto statute. What
merit there may be in this contention
will probably be determined when the
supreme court OF the United States
passes upon the question now being
argued. That there has been some
merit in it for Rooney, is apparent
from the fact that it is more than
two years since the crime was COM
mitted and more than a year from
the time when he was to have been
executed he is still alive, in good
health. and probably as happy as a
man could be who is in the state
penitentiary under sentence Of death.

prominence through the formation Of

the deaf-mute Masonic order known as
the League of Elect Surds), seized
upon the distinguished visitors from
Germany and when they came to New
York gave them a big banquet at the
Arena.
But Loew also was at the head of an
organization and had invited the dele
gates to attend reception given by
the Union League of Deaf-Mutes on
the same night that the Elect Surds
held their banquet.
THE delegates went to the Surds'
dinner and in twinkling fingers told
of their JOY and happiness. But they

ton, which was a gloomy affair as q

Whereupon he was deeply Inundated,
perhaps the more because the greater
part of the expense of the leagues re-
ception had to be borne by him per-
sonally.

Wutzulik was an old friend of his

similar congress of deaf-mutes at the

II Is on the Fall Calendar of the New
York State Supreme Court.
DEAF MUTES FOR PRINCIPALS AND WITNESSES
Testimony to BE Taken in Foreign Sign Lam
guages and Translated Into English-Prob-
lem for Judge and Jury-Story
of the Quarrel.

New York. The most remarkable
suit ever tried in court of law will
be heard when the New York supreme
court takes up its autumn calendar.
Yet to say that the case will be
heard" Is not stating the exact facts.
for the testimony will be given in that
most silent form of all silence-the
sign language of the deaf-mutes. Both
the parties to the case are mhtes and
all the witnesses, of whom there will
be so or go. are likewise afflicted, so
that the story of the trouble that has
landed them in court will come from
the fingers instead of from the lips.
But this Is not the only remarkable
feature of this unusual case, which Is
further complicated by the fact that
some of the witnesses cannot speak"
English, SO that great deal of the
testimony will have to be given first
in the sign language in German, then
translated into English, again into the
sign language. and finally to spoken
English, so that the court and the Jury
may know what is going on.
With situation like this the posi-
bilities to arise from the case are I'M
limited, and the tribulations of the
presiding justice, the jury and the
counsel for both sides may better be
imagined than described at this time.
AS for the audience, 1t Is promised a
most unusual event. - -. ~.
Case of Wide Interest.
The New York World, commenting
upon this remarkable case, says:
Eighty thousand deaf-mutes In this
country, and fully as many more In
Germany, Austria and France. will be
affected by the outcome OF the case,
whatever it may be. for the parties at
law are both among the most prom
inent mutes in the world, and what
ever interests them will interest their
fellows in the United States, and Eu-
rope.
"The belligerents are both prom
inent in New York city, where they
reside. There are two suits. one
brought as an Offset to the other, so
that both parties are plaintiffs and
each is defendant. And, most Gu
rious point OF all, considering the TACT
that everyone connected with the af-
fair is a deaf-mute. the twin suits are
for-slander!
1T would be hard, then. to conceive
a more intricate, complicated. para
,doxical situation than presents itself
now.
Jacques Loew. one of the plaintiff
defendants, is a well-known resident
of New York, which he has made his
home for the past 80 years since he
came from Austria. Although deaf
mute, he is an expert worker in leath-
.er and plush goods, and made good
living even before he became part
ner in one of the biggest concerns
manufacturing these goods. For a
score of years he was a prominent fig

while his left reached for the desk

breach had begun. 1t was only small
leak In the dixie of friendship, one that
could have been covered by the agiie

But Loew's hands were busy ex-
pressing his outraged feelings, while
Lipgens', II Loew's suspicious be COR

themselves in spreading the Islander
that Jacques Loew's Austrian honors
and decorations were bogus.

"The eliminating point was reached
last summer, when the Worlds Con-

tenants half of the property leased by their
husbands. In this way he was always ready to
encourage the industrious poor and others who.
showing ability, struggled with circumstances
