SAVED BY "UNWRlTTEN LAW"
Mother and Son Acquitted for Killing
Betrayer of Daughter and Sister.

Mother and Son Acquitted for Killing
Betrayer of Daughter and Sister.
The jury at LaPlata, Md. in the
cases of Mrs. Bowie and her son, Hen.
ry, charged with the murder of HUI.
bert Posey, who had ruined the young
daughter OF Mrs. Bowie, under the
promise of marriage, returned a ver-
dict of acquittal Friday afternoon af-
ter being out less than five minutes.
Congressman Sydney E. Mudd, of
counsel for the defense, in his address
to the jury, disclaimed belief in the
insanity CT Mrs. Bowie or her son,
but he declared that, under the cir.
cumstances, they should not be held
responsible mentally Or legally for
their part in the tragedy. Touching
the unwritten law, Congressman Mudd
said:
"The family in this land of ours
is the nucleus and the nursery of the
commonwealth. The protection OF lhe
sanctity Of the family ties, the chas-
tity of our women, the development
and maintenance of a salutory and ex-
alted respect for the honor of nc~1er,
the sister and the daughter becomes,
therefore, a natural and essential fea-
ture Of the law of this land. In nearly
every state of this country there will
be found an exemplifcation and rec
ognition of this fact and an adoption
of this doctrine. 1t IS in this sense
that I confidently claim the protection
of what I have called the 'unwritten
law as an adequate defense for these
defendants.''

NEW LAWS OF TEXAS
Passed by Last Legislature Now Effec.
tive-Revo!ution in Statutes is
Practically Created.

With midnight Thursday night
large number of state laws passed by
the last legislature went into effect
in the state of Texas. The operation
of these new laws practically crates
a revolution in the laws of the state,
and the number of new ones is far
greater than that passed by any legis-
lature in the states history. Laws are
now in effect, some very curious ones,
providing the following:
Permitting medical colleges to deal
in human bodies; prohibiting insolvent
corporations from doing business
prohibiting cock fighting; making It
a misdemeanor to drink liquor on
trains; prohibiting issuing of free
passes or franks of any sort; against
lobbying; compelling man to support
his family; creating an eight-hour day
for telegraphers and full train crews;
abolishing negro school trustees; pro-
viding for licensing Of BARRIERS and
requiring insurance companies to in
vest Is per cent of their earnings in
this state. This last has practically
driven the companies from Texas.
All who sell pistols are taxed 50 per
cent of the gross earnings on all their
business. Brokerage houses, exchanges
and bucket shops are closed, as the
law does not permit wire service, and
railroads are required to furnish suf-
fcien: equipment: The list shows but
a few of several hundred laws passed.
Under the new laws a condition is
created without parallel. Provisions for
liquor license application makes ten
days notice required while the law is
now in effect, thereby annulling all Ii.
quor licenses and making saloons sell
at their own risk for the next ten
days.
The habitual writing of liquor pre-
scrip:ions by physicians is also made
punishable

BACKS UP ORCHARD.
Witness Dewey, in Haywood TRIAL,
Makes a Confession "to Help Along
Justice"-Vwo Arrests for Perjury.

Sensation followed sensation quickly
In the Haywood trial at Boise, when
the state commenced its rebuttal evi-
dence. Shortly after court adjourned
for the day information was sworn
10 and a warrant for perjury issued
IN a MAGISTRATES court against DR.. L.
L. McGee, a physician Of Wallace,
Idaho, who was one of the witnesses
for the defense
- The crowded court room, somewhat
bored by legal commonplace, sprang
to strained attention at the close OF
the afternoon session, when William
Dewey, witness for the state in re-
buttal. confessed to active, armed par
ticipation in the destruction Of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills at
Wardner on April 20, 1899, when two
men were killed and mob of thou
sand men participated in the riot.
Harry Orchard commenced his series
of crimes at Wardner. He confessed to
lighting one OF the fuses that started
the explosion, and he swore that Will
liam F. Davis, known among his fet'
lows as Big Bill" led the mob.
Dewey swore that not only did big
Bill" accompany the mob to Wardner,
but that he served out guns and am
munition to the union men gathered in
the union nall at Burke before they
went to Wardner, and was cne OF the
leaders of the column that advanced
on the concentrator before the work
Of destruction commenced.
Eight years have now elapsed since
that day of rioting. From that time, no
eyewitness except Orchard has been
found to tell the story or incriminate
himself until Dewey, now a resident
Of Goldfeld, Col, made his confes-
sion.
With eyes downcast and fingers ner-
yously picking the braiding around the
rim of a gray sombrero, Dewey told
it all. Repeatedly, he was requested
to raise his voice, and with quick
glance at counsel, he replied only to
sink back into a most inaudible tone.
Under the provocation Of a sneer1ng
cross-examination by E. F. Richardson,
he rallied. and even became combative,
but Throughout. the recital he gave
evidence of certain remorse.
Under the same cross-examination
he told why he had come to Boise to
confess at this time after eight years
of silence.
What promise Of immunity from
punishment was given you before you
decided to make the confession OF
crime"
What induced you to make this
statement now, after all these years?"
Were some of Richardson's Ques-
tions.
None" was the laconic reply to the
first two questions, but to the last the
witness said: Il read Orchards con-
fession."
"You saw how well he was treated
here, and decided to get little of it?''
sneered Richardson.
''It was nothing of that kind" re-
sponded Dewey quickly. 81 though; I
ought to help along with the doing Of
justice"
Another warrant charging perjury
against witness, who has testified for
the defense, was issued Monday morn
ing. C. w. Aller, formerly a tele-
graph operator and ticket agent at the
Florence and Cripple Creek railroad,
at Cripple Creek, is charged with the
offense. Both Aller and McGee will be
given an opportunity to furnish bonds
and the preliminary hearing will be
set to take place within the next few
days.
