In an article signed by John Il.
Mann, chairman of the Republican
county central committee, and priv
aetely circulated all over the county,
concerning the record of the district
court ,ss heretofore published by the
Democratic executive committee,
showing that Reuben f.. Starr, candi-
date for clerk and recorder on the
Republican ticket, had been trled
and convicted of attempted bribery.
Mr.. Mann, makes, among others, the
following allegations.
He charges that the defendant in
the bribery case, Reuben Il Starr
was prohibited from making de-
fense, The fact is that the attorneys
for the defendant were j. $. Carna-
han and =. n. Wheeler, two Of the
most prominent attorneys in Mesa
county. All that money or the abb
est legal talent could do, in behalf
of the defendants, was done, to pre-
vent the jury from bringing in Ver-
dict of guilty, and all the evidence
the defendants offered in their behalf
was admitted by the courts save and
except the evidence of certain eN-
periments made on behalf of the de
| fendant. These experiments IL is al
legged, were made long after the ac-
tIon was commenced and had nothing
whatever to do with the facts at the
time of the attempted bribery. Geo
rye II. Barton and William Campbell,
two of the most prominent citizens
of Grand Junction, sworc that they
heard Mr.. Starr commit the crime,
and these experiments of the defend
ants simply went to the extent of i'll
\ Producing evidence to show that cer-
tain other persons had been unable
to hear conversation at the distance
Barton and Campbell Were from the
defendants at the time the crime was
committed, and IL was upon this point
thnt the supreme court reversed the
case. No evidence was ever offered
to controvert the evidence of Barton
and Campbell, which evidence was al
so corroborated by A. 4. Wharton
nor has anyone ever sworn To tho
contrary.
He charges that the case was dis
missed over the protest of the de
fendants.. THIS CHARGE Is ABSO
LUTELY UNTRUE.

THE SITUATION
ONEVE OF BATTLE

Special to The Sentinel.
Washington. Nov. with the
election day but a few hours away
the political situation has crystalized
to the extent that permits a survey
of the field, limited. however. to
the points where the battle has been
waged the fiercest. between the two
dominant parties. for the control OF
the siXtieth congress, and for the
state supremacy.
In New York state the campaign
has eclipsed all else. The vote for
local conditions to such an extent
that the returns Tuesday night from
there will furnish perhaps the most
interesting reading for those at thu
headquarters of both congressional
committees. The landslide for either
candidate for governor would carry
with it unexpected results as to the
congressional ticket. 1t is conceded
on a normal basis that the Democrats
will make gains.
Pennsylvania. also, offers another
interesting political situation. with
the governorship fights between Al.
ONO Emery, the Democratic Lincoln
party candidate, and former Mayor
Stewart. of Philadelphia. the Repub-
lican nominee. The campaigning has
been lively.
In the South the interesting points
are in Texas, Mississippi and Tennes-
see. In Texas the campaign against
the reelection of United States sena-
tor Joseph W. Bailey is making
things lively. In Mississippi. Repre-
sentative Williams. the Democratic
floor leader of the house, is making
the race in the governorship between
II. Clay Evans, the Republican can
didate and Representative NJ. p. Pat
terson, Democrat.
The Democrats in the state have
hopes of electing more than two
they now have in the ma
tional congress.
The districts where Samuel Com
The daily sentinel., 1906-11-05
MANN'S CHARGES
ARE GROUNDLESS

He charges that the defendantG,
''were fully and completely acquitted
of every charge against them" Every
one who knows anything about the
supreme court knows that il never
tries criminal cases upon the merits.
The only question which the supreme
court passed on in this case was the
question of law, and had NOTHING
WHATEVER TO DO WITH THE
GUILT OR INNOCENCE OF THE
DEFENDANTS, IN FACT, THE ST.
FUSED TO DISCHARGE THE DE
PENDANTS and remanded the case
to the district court of Mesa county
for new trial NOT A SINGLE CUES
TION OF THE GUILT OR INNO-
CENCE OF MIR. STARR WAS RAIS-
ED OR PASSED UPON BY THE ST.
PRENIE COURT, NOR HAVE THESE
DEFENDANTS EVER BEEN AC-
Quilted OF THIS CRIME. 1T IS
TRUE THAT THE ABILITY OF
THEIR LAWYERS AND THE LOOP
HOLES OF THE LAW, THEY DID
ESCAPE PUNISHMENT, But SUCH
ESCAPE DOES NOT MAKE THEM
HONEST MEN NOR DOES 1T QUAIL
IFY MIR. STARR FOR THE M
PORTANT POSITION OF CLERK
A few years ago n man by the
name of William Quinn wac elected
to the Office of county treasurer of this
county. At the time of his election,
There were grave charges as to his
character But OF NO SUCH SER
IOUS CHARACTER OF THOSE OF
WHICH MIR. STARR HAS BEEN
CONVICTED. Ten thousand dollars
to fifteen thousand dollars of the
present debt of Mesa county is the
result of having elected MIR. Quinn
and the only satisfaction which the
people had was in sending that guilty
man to the penitcntiary.. DO YOU

FOUND DEAD AT SOUTH BARTON.

Esrlv Yesterday, Sunday, morning the
fireman and engineer on the ''helper" dis
covered a mans body on the passenger
station platform at South Barton. They
stopped the loc omotive and notified Sta
tion Agent Berry of that place. he in
turn notified o H. Mossman, first select
man of Barton, who with Ii. p. Cook as
Justice went Immediately to South Barton
from Barton. They found the body un-
disturbed as it had fallen, having fallen
from the track toward the station, and lay
upon its face with hands and arms out
stretched On the right side OF the body
in the back and just above the hip Yves
hole in the clothing and the back was bro
ken. 1t was evident from the grease
found about this wound that the man was
hit by the locomotive or some part OF
the train while trying to board it when
the train was in motion and was killed
instantly by the blow in the back, and IN
| falling to the floor mis- face was badly
bruised. Papers about the body Identified
! the man as Theodore Frebotte Of st. Hya-
| cinthe, Quebec, and there were two tickets
on the Dody from St. Hyacinthe to Boston.
! There was also the address OF daughter In
| Woburn, Mass, and other parties. Ihs
! daug hter in Woburn was telegraphed tc
and the answer came back to snip the
body by express to Winchester, Mass
Conductor Goss, who was on the express
Saturday night, says he remembers two
parties with tickets from St. Hyacinthe tC
Boston, and that the younger of the two
was the worse for liquor although th'
older man was not as far as he remembers
and IT is evident that the BODY found II
that of the Older man, probably maj
sixty wears old. Overseer 0. ID. Owen ha(
the BODY taken to the undertaking room
of c. P. Jenness, where it will be kept until
shipped to Massachusetts. The theory
those who saw the body first is that th'
man fell off the train between Barton ane
! South Barton but received no injuries 81
the train was moving slowly and the snow
was deep. de then walked . to- '5outh
Barton where h@waited fer train, and
when the double header freight came along
tried to boar5e it and was killed. Mr.
Blake who lives near the station at South
Barton, says a. man cHne W MS noo''
between one and two-o O'clock that morning
, but was unable to speak English enough
to be understood and as Mr., Blske's famil
were sick with the meestesehe did NOT le
the man in. Erebotte then evfdsnti
went back to the station and wsssed,
r tracks in the light snow on the platforr
s indicated someone having paced the sout
side Of the station for some time. liner
were two suits of clothes and two suits
3 underclothes on the body besides an ovel
i coat, although no hat was found. Sno
" in the rubbers further convinced the on
h cials that he did not fall from the train
n that place as some had thought but wake
Is in the snow for some distance. No fo'
d play is suspected. .
