HIS DEAD RoDY WAS RECOVERED.

HIS DEAD BODY WAS RECOVERED.
posed to have started together for
home. Gardiner was never seen again
alive, but there was evidence of a
struggle having taken place at BaIlyin-
darragh bridge. over which they would
have passed.
At this spot Gardeners broken UNI
brella was picked up the following
day, and his dead body, with a mum
Der of wounds, was recovered from
the river about LOO yards below the
bridge.
The police Investigations succeeded
in discovering a hair on the parapet of
the bridge, which from it's appearance
was stated to have been from the mus
tache of the victim.
They also found a thread near the
hair, and this, it was alleged by the
crown, was from the tab Of the coat
which the prisoner was wearing at the
time
An important Ink in the chain Of
circumstantial evidence was a black
whisky bottle.
This, it was stated, was sold to Gar
diner at Lisnaskea during the day pre-
ceding the night on which he met his
death, and it was not seen again until
produced and opened by the accused
at time subsequent to that at which
the murder was stated to have taken
place.
The medical evidence showed that
Gardiner was not dead when he was
thrown into the river by his slayer,
whoever that may have been.
Only one of the injuries on his body
was proved to be wound made before
death, which might have been inflicted
by blow from a full bottle, but could
not well have been caused by an empty
one.
Professor Barklie, analyst, stated
that on the trousers, the shirt front
and the tie of the prisoner he discover
ed small blood stains, which, however,
he could not surely determine to be hui
man.
For the defense evidence was pro-
duced to prove that rowdy scenes had
occurred at Ballyindarragh bridge at
time after the appearance of Criggan
at the house of friend, where he
brought out the much discussed whisky
bottle.
About this time cries of distress were
heard by those there, coming from the
direction of the bridge. SO far as the
thread was concerned, it was shown
that it was from coat similar to those
worn in this part of the country by nu-
merous people.
In reference to the hair found-four
days after the murder-a number Of
witnesses declared that the inhabitants
instead of going to a barber shop
obliged each other by cutting one an
others hair at the bridge.
Only the day before the tragedy the
deceased cut the hair Of a neighbor at
this spot.
After three-quarters Of an hours de-
liberation the jury found the prisoner
not guilty, and he was thereupon dis
charged.

OUR PoPUTTsr PRFsIDENT


Inc Democrats are claiming that
President Roosevelt has stolen. more of
their thunder in declaring for a gradu-
ated income tax, and both Democrat
ana Populist read that portion of the
presidents message relating to this sub
1ect with great interest
But the old time Populfst will read
with even greater satisfaction the stand
taken by President Roosevelt on the
subject of coal lands. The Populists
used to argae in favor of government
ownership of coal mines and that they
ought to be run in the interest Of the
people-just how, they did not state.
Now comes President Roosevelt not
only advocating the same thing. but
he tells in a few sentences how to do
It, and he has already taken steps to
bring it about
This is one of the most radical de-
partures from old time ideas that our
original president has taken The foun-'
dalton for it was laid when it became
evident how certain railroads OF the.
east absolutely control the anthracite
coal fields of Pennsylvania and are able
to hold UP the public for coal. Later
when Senator LaFollette raised a rum
pus about the Indian Territory coal
lands being sOlds it became evident
that western roads were trying to
secure the same hold On the BIZ
luminous fields that the eastern raods
have on the anthracite fields, and the
sale Of the Indian Territory lands was
stopped. Now it is discovered that
there has been fraud in connection with
securing title to coal lands in Wyoming
ana Utah, and something is doing out
there.
This has all brought about President
Roosevelt's action in holding back the
coal lands from sale. to private parties,
and his declaration in favor of holding
them in the possession Of the govern
ment. He does not propose that the
government shall work them, of course.
He proposes to lease them to private
under such. terms that they
may bring the government royalty, |
and so that the government shall abb !
soIuteIy control not only the production
Of coal itself in the interest Of the peo-
pie, but also the means of transporta-
ton. The mines. declares the president,
belong to the people and ought to be
operated in the peoples interest
