STIFF FINE
WAS IMPOSED ON MCDONALD
AND HIS PARTNER FOR LAW
BREAKING.

All the interest In the Circuit Court
this morning centered about the prob
able verdict of the jury In the McDon,
aid case. McDonald's case was given
to the jury yesterday morning and
they weren't able to reach an agree.
ment till after ten this morning. Yes
terday afternoon while the Mcdonald
jury was out the. case of Lizzie Pyles
was tried, who was indicted jointly
with Mcdonald on the adultery charge
but who demanded separate trial.
The jury In the Pyles case was out
but few minutes and returned a
verdict of guilty. The same evidence
was presented in both cases and the
different conduct of the two juries
was an impressive commentary on
the jury system. The attorneys walt
ed with considerable interest to see
IL the Mcdonald jury would find the
man not guilty. The jury. however,
reduced the impressiveness Of the com
mentary somewhat by returning ver-
dict of guilty. Judge Mason handed
the pair a pretty stiff dose in fixing
the penalty. He fined each $50, and
had the offenders returned to Jail on
capias pro fine.
This finishes up the criminal docket
the felonies having all been disposed
of and most of the misdemeanors
having been certified to Judge Ken
dall's court. .-.- -s.gs'.s-oi-~

Contractor Fuccy was sincere in his
statement of Monday that cars would
be running to the city limits by the

positive that he. will complete his

The Owensboro Messenger says

The greensboro Messenger says:
1.-THE hollow mockery of the Roose .
welt prosecution of the beef trust
came out at Chicago yesterday. After
months and years of delay the beef
trust magnates were finally indic' ID
and after further months of de,ay
some OF them were called for trial.
Now four of them are allowed to con-
fess fines but the Imprisonment por-
ton of the penalty is waived by the
consent of the attorney general.
These beef trust people, who b.
ing up the meat-eating public with
exorbitant prices. can we'll afford to
pay an occasional fine of $4,000 or
$4,000 and will gladly do it for
the privilege of continuing to violate
a criminal law Such an arrange
ment with Roosevelt's attorney gen.
eral will be quite TO their liking.
They are making millions by their
hold-up process. little fine now
and then will be regarded simply as
license to continue in crime"
In thus alluding to the case the
Messenger is inspired by either ig-
norance or malice. The fines assess
at Chicago have nothing to do with
the prosecutions of the packers for
violation of the antitrust law, which
are expected to come TO trial within
few days. The fines were for ac-
cepting rebates from railroads, moth
ing more and nothing less. The pack
ers may be guilty of violating the anti
trust law. or they may not be. II
they are, it is safe to predict that
the federal authorities will space
nothing to make them suffer for T.
To attempt to deceive readers into
thinking those fines imposed at ca. \
cago were under the antitrust ind ct
ments, with a view TO discreditirg
the government, does not appear to
be very creditable journalism.
