been staggered by the relation shown to
have existed for years between the
Equitable Life Assurance society and
Chauncey NJ Depew. one of the senators

cey NJ. DepeW be and he hereby is re-
quested to forthwith resign his seat in

Withdrawal but upon a roll call the
Withdrawal was allowed by a vote of
u to 19. This can not be regarded as

however.

reason why Senator Bracket should
not have included Senator Platt as
We'll Senator Grady. the Democratic
leader, asked that the resolution be
not pressed at this time
Senator Bracket said he was will
ing for It to be put over but he did
not want it to be kissed out of ex-
istence.'

morbid public clamOr that is now en-
deavOring to blast honest regulations.

CORNELIUS GETS NEW TRrlL.
Three Jurymen Admit Being InRIu-
enced by Considerations Not
i'm Evidence.

After the hearing of the motion
for a new trial in the Cornelius case
the court ordered new trial of the
case and on its own motion, trans
ferred the case to Donley county.
The men who made up the jury
when the case was tried here three
weeks ago were examined ON The
stand during the hearing and it de-
veloped that three Of them had been
influenced in giving a verdict by
consideration of outside evidence.
According to the testionmy brought
out, Malone, Lindsay, and Miner
the men who stood out for acquital,
were finally induced to render a
verdict guilty and compromise on
the lowest penalty on the argu-
ment brought forward by some Of
of the other jurymen that If the
jury failed to reach verdict in
that trial, the case would be trans
fered to some county where the de-
PENDANT was not known and the trial
would likely go much harder with
him.
The case will now be tried at the
next session of the District court
which meets at Clarendon, in Don
ley county, three weeks from next
Monday.
