Seldom If ever is there any doubt
about the effect produced by the use Of
Pyramid Pile Cure as is shown by the
experience given above. The proprie-
tors of this remedy have thousands
of similar letters on file, and surely no
better proof of the merits OF the pre-
paration could be asked, when it is
borne in mind that these letters are
wholly unsolicited. there is certainly
cause for pride in the remedy.

REFUSES TO ANSWER.
Action Of Nellie Wells, in Trial OF
. John Walker, Is Startling.

NCttOH OF lNcIiI0 NtSIIS, VI tTIdI OF
John Walker, Is Startling.
Des Moines, Jan. "a. = Perhaps the
most startling and sensational devel-
opment in the Walker trial yet pro-
duced was brought to light yesterday
afternoon when Nellie Wells, the one
time paramour of John Walker, alleg-
ed slayer of Isaac Finkelstein, abso-
lutely refused to make any answer to
the questions put to her by County
Attorney Jesse Miller. Her refusal is
startling in view of the fact that she
signed an affidavit in the presence of
f. E. Duncan, justice of the peace, in
which she stated that John Walker
had admitted to her that he was the
man who struck Finkelstein the fatal
blow.
The entire forenoon and a portion
Of the afternoon was consumed in get
ting the twelve jurors. This task was
completed at 2:30 o'clock and before
the state could begin its opening state
ment to the jury, Attorney Mulvaney
for the defence Immediately moved for
directed verdict on the ground that
Walker having been once acquitted of
the crime of murder in both degrees
he could not again be placed on trial
after the reading of an indictment
charging him with murder and con-
spiracy with Harris Levich.
Mr.. Mulvaney held that Walker was
first indicted for murder and conspir-
acy, jointly with Harris Levich. He
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1905-01-24

held that the acquittal of Levich re-
leased the charge of conspiracy for the
reason that he could not possibly con-
spire with himself.
1.-The verdict Of mansaughter in the
first trial." said Mr.. Mulvaney. "ac-
quilted this defendant of the charge
of murder and he cannot, therefore, be
tried on the charge of murder q sec
ond time. Now, then, this Indictment
against Walker charges him with pre-
cisely the same crimes as in the first
case, that is, murder and conspiracy.
We hold that he has been acquitted
of the charge of murder as we'll as that
of conspiracy and therefore the read
ing OF an Indictment which charges
crimes for the commission of which
he has already been in custody. is not
proper and we move to direct YER
dict for the defendant. / know there
have been no decisions on this point and
that 1t is an entirely new point In
criminal procedure, but want my
objection in the records II the court
sees fit to override the notion.
Judge McVey overruled the motion
and Mr.. Miller proceeded with his
opening statement Of the case In when
he stated that he proposed to snow
that Walker had been hired, or pro-
posed to put Finkelstein out OIL the
wav." and that the crime alleged a
yainst him was committed in the man
ner charged in the Indictment.

with Sir Walter for fifteen years, nrst
as gardener. and afterwards as sort
of business man and agent. Miss Mary
lived at Abbottsford down to the death
of Sir Walter in 1882 and her people
remained two years afterwards before
migrating to America.
The stern little Scotch woman never

the children of the great novelist ana

daughter, while despising with equal
cordiality Sir Walter the younger
whom she declared cad and scamp.
She had a childish friendship WIN
Tom Moore, the Irish poet, who USED
to come to visit Sir Walter, but never
ceased regretting that twice when
Lord Byron came to Abbottsford to
visit the author of "Waverly" she was
away and did not see him. There was
a. long and interesting train of these
Young poets who came to the castle at
Abbottsford for advice and always got

Miss Bogie in her later life had been
careful student of Scott and his life
and writings, and her collection of
relics papers, ETC., is believed to be OF
large value. 1t will probably be donat-
ed to the Iowa Historical Society.
Miss Bogie's collection includes auto
graph notes written by Sir Walter to
her father, her mother, and one to her
self, and number of notes and letters
written by Anne Scott. Since she left
Scotland, two years after the authors
death, she never visited it again.

Manila, Jan. "a. = Gas or no gas
has been the discussion here for sew
eral months past. In fact, it has oc-
cupied the attention of the city dads"
and the public in general for the past
year.
About year ago a gasoline plant
was installed, for furnishing gas for
lighting the streets, business houses
and dwellings. 1t has proven quite
satisfactory, giving good light and is
economical, but it seems that several
members of the council have an AK
to grind against A. s. Avery, the pat
entee Of the system, who resides here,
and consequently have kept up fight
to force the bondsmen to pay for the
plant, thinking that thus they would
secure the mains and could install a
new system. The engineer who has
been operating the plant has thrown
his influence with these members,
showing that the plant is not paying
expenses. In November the bondsmen
made a proposition to buy the plant
for $500, a franchise to be granted
for a period of twenty years. The
council agreed to sell the plant and
election notices were published and all
necessary steps taken ito dispose OF
the plant, when the mayor and mem
bers antagonistic to the plant discov-
cred that the notices published in local
papers were Illegal inasmuch as may
or and clerk had not signed the notices
but that attorney for the bondsmen
had done so, with their consent and
knowledge.
The election was accordingly called
off. The company to whom they were
about to sell then circulated a petition
among taxpayers asking that the plant
be sold. The required number OF sig
natures has been secured, but the
bondsmen are waiting to see what dis
position the town will make of a"bond'
for the plant, which is about due.
The bondsmen take the ground that
they do not want the plant, but at the
same time they wish protection. ana
do not think it just that the business
social and moral interests of the town
should suffer to please the wrath OF
a few disgruntled politicians.
1t seems that when this council
found that they could dispose OIL the
plant they changed their tune.

est basket bmall games ever seen in

Saturday night by the high school girls
OF Washington and Fairfield. The Off
cial score was 4 to in favor of WASH
ington, but the score generally accep-
ted by the onlookers, which formed
the largest crowd that ever witnessed
a basket ball game In Fairfield, was 4

held that one basket thrown in the
last half by Fairfield was thrown after
the whistle calling a foul was blown,
but this is denied very generally by
the spectators. After the game the
referee was nearly mobbed. The same
teams played in Washington about a
month ago. with victory for Fairfield
of 16 to G. The game Sunday night
