Bill TO be Killed

There is now lying o nth Presidents
table, awaiting his signature, bill just
passed by both houses under the iol-
lowing attractive title: N bill to pre-
vent cruelty to animals while in transit

II the President were guided solely
by the title he would undoubtedly sign
the bill unhesitatingly. But ii he takes
the pains to read it carefully and to
consider its plain intention he will as
unhcSltatlngly veto it. For, instead OF
being bill TO prevent cruelty to ami
mails while in transit it is measure
designed to increase the sufferings OF
animals in transit. 1t proposes to
amend the existing law, which pro-
hlbitS keeping such animals from food
and water for more than 2S hours, by
extending the period OF starvation and
thirst to 80 hours.
The measure was rushed through the
houses and through conference the
other day largely in consequence OF the
great huddlc OF bills on the calendar
and the general laXity OF scrutiny which
marks the closing OF the session. 1t

l.
Osceola, April 30.-District court
convened today, with Judge Evans on
the bench There is full docket for
this term, but the greatest interest will
probably center in the DeLong murder
trial. which is the first case to come
up, the trial being set for Wednesday,.
The accused is Clark Williams, SON
in-law of the deceased DeLong. l.. j.
DeLong an old resident of this vicinl-
", died of cramps and conVulslohs III
business house in this city on the at
ternoon of September S, 1904, after
drinking some whiskey very shortly
before SO far as known, the first in
timation that he was sick was his sud-
den cries of pain, while in converse
ton with some friends. He went into
commissions in a few moments, rapidly
sinking into Inconsistencies, and died
without being able to make any state
ment There was strong suspicion OF
poisoning at the time, altho some
thought it was case of suicide, which
theory was however dropped by every
body. Talk became rife, and suspicion
grew, until after a week or two, the
body was disinterred, and the stomach
removed, and examined by chemical
analysis, by three local physicians, VINO
pronounced that death had been Iae
result of strychnine poisoning. linen
the question arose, who had admins
tered the poison? Suspicion was final
ly settled on Clark Williams, son-ln-
law of deceased. The case was up Tor
consideration before several sessions
of the grand jury, before the evidence
was considered sufficient to warrant
an Indictment, but finally an indlct-
ment was reached in December, l9o5.
Williams was Immediately arrested,
and released on bonds OF $lO,UoU,
which he had no difficulty in securing,
as his previous good reputation was so
generally recognized that number OF
we'll to do men volunteered their SER
vices as bondsmen. The case would
| have been tried at the last February
| term of court, but for the serious ILL
| ness of Mr.. Williams at that time. In
the latter part of January, just preVl-
| Gus to the session of court, Williams
was seized with appendicitis, making
a critical operation necessary, and for
weeks, his life hung in the balance. He
finally recovered, and by agreement,
the trial will be held as above stated.
A popularity about the case, is the fact
! that nearly the entire family and
| friends of deceased seem to be in SYM
pathy with Williams, refusing to be-
lieve him guilty, and his neighoors
generally, seem to feel the same way,
and many of them offered to go on his
bond. The prosecution seems to have
been pushed by brother-in-la who
reputably has had some kind of a
grudge against Williams. OF course
public opinion is somewhat divided but
| the prevailing sentiment just now
seems to be in favor of the accused.
