trict attorney.
Mrs. Scheck did not appear in thu
court room, being engaged as a witness
In the Stackpole trial in Judge James
court
Night Session
At the first night session, which was
held last evening, the court room was
hlled principally by men with few
women, who listened attentiVely.
The first witnesses called were Grant
Roberts, Deputy District ATTORNEY
Fleming and d. o. Bowling.
The latter was the barber who tes.
titled that he shaved Stackpole the
night before the tragedy and that he
inadvertently cut the defendants lip
The testimony brought out was that
the blood found on the defendants
handkerchief might have been from
that cut.
Miss Myrtle Flowers was next called
and stated that she resided at 522 San
Julian street, near the home of Mrs
Scheck.
The defense questioned Miss Flowers
regarding the callers Mrs. Scheck re-
ceived trying to bring out that she had
men callers at night and had other
lovers beside Stackpole. The questions
were repeatedly objected to by District
Attorney McComas.
DR.. Day Ruled OFF
! Fire Chief Lips was called and stated
that there was fire near the corner
of Maple avenue aid Ninth street and
that 1t occupied about thirty minutes
in extinguishing it.
Chief Lips was then excused with bis
| big record book and DIR. Day was called
kl,n 20 4 e.. Il
on the person of Stackpole. This testi-
mony was objected to and was not ad-
/ mitted.
Deputy District Attorney McComas
then blandly asked if the defense
couldn't hurry things up bit, or If the
court was to convene all night.
At this juneture p, p. O'Brien ar
rived ard was put In the stand and
read the charge against Mrs Seheck
and the proceedings at the preliminary
hearings.
Mrs. Seheek's Attorney
Paul e. Usher attorney for Mrs.
Scheck. was called and proved the most
deliberate witness of the evenings pro-
ceedings. The defense asked Mr. Usher
If Deputy District Attorney Fleming
introduced him (Usher)l to Mrs Scheck,
and he answered that ne did, and that
he did not think he had ever met Mrs
Scheck before.
Many objections were made to the
questions. and Deputy District Attor-
ney McComas announced that Mr..
Usher was the attorney for Mrs
Scheck and was struggling along as
best he could. Mr.. 'Isher admitted that
he had made suggestions to the district
attorney, saying that he was there to
protect Mrs. Scheck and that he thought
best to do so In any way he could.
The defense asked to have the pro-
ceedings called at 10 o'clock this morn
ing, but the judge announced that court
would be called at o'clock.

Of Democratic success this year in the

ing received over the State This con.
dition ia very noticeable At the recent
meetings. which the Repuhli SAM candi-
dates field i'll the Bullfmg dist riri,

The Republican candidates have I'M
itormly been received with apathy, and
even chilliness. While the Democratic
campaigners have been received with n
degree OF enthusiasm heretofore nm
heard Of in an @oiT' year.
aOne reason Tor the apathy among
Republican voters is that they ure. salts
fed with the record male by the Sparks
administration, which has been fair,
clean, honest and safe aud they do not
desire u change. They do not, in this
critical stage OF the States history,
wish to swap u certainty for an TN
certainty. They do not want to ex.
pertinent. The State is prosperous. 1t
is peaceful. 1t is important tint a tried
man shall continue to hold the reins Of
government. 1t is important that a
Governor representing oil the people. ms
Governor Sparks has proven himself to
be, should administer tie affairs oil
State, rather tllnn these delicate affairs
should be handed over into the Ia lnds OF
u without experience.
aCapital and labor, employer and en-,
ploye, rich and poor--all who have the
interest OF this growing and prosperous
battle born State at heart-want Johr
Sparks re .eleuted Governor. The pas
administration is unassailiuble. Not n
single charge Of any account has, or
can be made OF It, and the Republican
papers and speakers have been forced
10 ludicrous extreme in making caIn
paign arguments They ha ve all along
tried to. create interest in their cause
by using the somewhat magic name o.
President Roosevelt, but the voter
know that this is simply a State cam

cut little or no figure, and Tie aioresaic
