The above dispatch will convey
pleasing news to the hundreds of
friends in Paducah of Capt. Jack, :"
as he is known among the railroad
men. Mr.. Flynn was for several
years one of the most popular and
efficient officials here, being train
master of the Central City district of
the I. c. and subsequently trainmas-
ter of several more important dis
tricts. until he was sometime ago
promoted to a SUPPLEMENTARY His
rise has been rapid. but no more
so than expected by his friends. He

LEVY SCORES RAND
FOR DELUDING JURY
Says Public Prosecutor Has Tried to Cause
False Impressions Pictures Young
in Role of Villain.

NEW YORK, May /. - Within forty
eight hours Nan Patterson should know
whether the jury now trying her for the
murder of Caesar Young holds her inno-
cent or guilty.
The case will either go TO the jury late
today or early tomorrow.
Abraham Levy. chief counsel FOR the
actress. began the summing up for the
defense when court opened this morn
ing The summing up was q general at
tack on the prosecutions case.
Each link OF the states case was
picked up and its flaws were laid open
for inspection. On every point Levy
sought to cast a reasonable doubt
There was nothing to show that the
Morgan Smiths purchased the revolver,
he declared
Assistant District Attorney Rand will
sum up for the State this afternoon. and
Recorder Goff will then charge the jury.
She Expects Acquittal.
Nan Patterson has great faith in her
acquttal She can see nothing but free

happy this morning as she walked into
court and spoke TO her father.
Dramatic indeed was the setting for
the final scene in this fight for the life
of Nan Patterson. One might have
easily imagined ii was guillotine day in
the French revolution
1t is fine sport 10 feed on the sensa-
tions of a wretched woman. who awaits

stakes these, and one calculated to make
the play for the pawns feyered and hot.
No wonder that hundreds came and
laid seige to the doors of Recorder
COTS court long before the prisoner was
led from her celi in the Tombs TO the
prisoners pen.
Scores were turned away, but more
came and fought to get in. Sweetly
gowned girls and matrons there were,
and they were given the preference of
seats by the court officers, who, despite
the press of people. had an eye for the
beautiful

began his address to the jury. He
spoke of the responsibilities now de-
vofving upon the jurors in their task
of weighing the evidence.
We are told that this is & case of
circumstantial evidence. You have for
your guidance set O. laws. which
have come down from the ages, to
guide you IN your deliberations. Do

error may be repaired. Bul when you

Mr. Levy took occasion to thank the
recorder for the kindly consideration
given during the trial. He also thanked
Lawyers Unger and OReillY fer their
unfagging zeal for the defense,

Nov, gentlemen of the jury. a cir
cumstantial case demands that every
rule of law be lived up to. We are told
that the presumption of innocence re-
mains with the prisoner until proved
otherwise, and we are told that the bur
den of prosecution always rests with
the presentation and never shifts.
Mr.. Levy said that the one thing he
feared in this case was the fascinatio
whom he described as Ii man of mag

there had been many unfair insinuauons

REV. DR. E. J. WoLF DEAD

President Of Lutheran General Synod
Passes Away at Gettysburg, Pa.
Gettysburg, Pa, Jan. 11.-Rev. DR..
Edmund J. Wolf, president of the Cen
eral Synod of the Lutheran Church
of America, died at his home here af-
ter a brief illness. His death removes
from the Lutheran church one of its
foremost men, as DR.. Wolf was a
most able theologian and ecclesiasti-
cal writer.
DR.. Wolf was born near Rebers-
burg. Pa, in 1910, and graduated from
Gettysburg College in 1868. During
his senior year the state was invaded
by the Confederate army, and he en-
listed in the college company and
served as a non-commissioned officer
of the 26th Pennsylvania regiment.
After graduating from college he pur-
sued a further course Of study at Ger
man universities. He returned to the
United States in 1865 and engaged in
work in Northumberland
Pa, for two years.
DIR. Wolf was elected president of |
the General Synod of the Lutheran
Church at Baltimore in June, 1908.

TALBOT INQUIRY
is POSTPONED
Members of Board Declare Charges
Cannot be Withdrawn.
MUST BE SETTLED FOR GOOD

Reading. Pa, Jan. 11.-Despite the
lack OF a quorum, seven members of
the board of inquiry appointed to
probe the charges made against Bishop
Ethelbert Talbot, of the Central Penn
sylvania diocese of the Protestant
Episcopal church, by Rev. DR.. l. N. W..
Irvine, the deposed priest, met in this
city, and after a three-hours' confer
ence adjourned to meet here on Fri
day. The members of the committee
informally considered the case in
many of its phases, and after adjourn
ment it was the consensus Of their
opinion that the case must be settled
to save the good name of the church,
as-well Is in justice to the accused
prelate. The members of the board
were of the opinion that there can be
no withdrawal of the grave charges,
and that the case ought to be settled
once and for all.
William B. Butler, of Mauch Chunk,
Pa, lay member of the board, who
was elected secretary, said that not
withstanding the Huntingdon signers
had repudiated the charges, and that
other signers had asked Bishop Tuttle
to permit them to withdraw the accu-
sations, the charges stand as promi-
nently as ever before the members Of
the board, and neither repudiations
nor Withdrawals could avail while the
reputation of a bishop is assailed.
Mr.. Butler is also authority for the
statement that Bishop Tuttle has re-
fused to acquiesee in the request of
the majority of the presenters for the
withdrawal of the charges. "The
charges once having been made and
signed" he said, ARE no longer the
property Of the presenters, but are
now the property of the church, and
they have nothing to do but let the
matter take its own course"
All the members of the board and
the presenters agree in one paragraph
of the withdrawal paper, which reads
as follows:
1--WE earnestly desire that the long
existing scandal in the church shall
be forever quieted."
There was some discussion regard
ing the legality of the board. In this
connection Mr.. Butler said: Bishop
Tuttle has not questioned the power
of the board to act and has not in the
slightest way intimated that this body
has no authority to consider these
charges. This body was appointed in
due canonical form and will act"
