lists no love on the part of the attor-
ney for Mr.. Bursum or his friends,
and 1t is moreover quite certain,
judging from past acts on the part
of Attorney Field that he would not
hesitate to place Mr.. Bursum in an
embarrassing position whenever pos
sible.
To the people at large-the men
who pay the costs-it certainly viii
look rather peculiar that Attorney
Field did not at least make some
move to place the proper authori-
dence which he says he possesses
rather than see the territory pay
back money to a man the attorney
says is guilty as charged.
Being in possession of such evil
dence, as the attorney says he was,
his standing as citizen demanded
that he should give it to the proper
authorities even though his stated
duty to his client demanded that he
refuse to use it.
Reflection on Officials.
The statement of the eminent at
torney in the morning paper is rath-
er a severe reflection upon the at
torney general, the judge and the
referee in this case. as well as upon
himself as an exponent of good gov
ernment and good citizenship.
While the morning paper avoids
editorial approval of Attorney Fields g
statements, at the same time, the
personal relationship between the
eminent counsel and the morning
parer are 80 well known as to indi-
| cate that the morning paper is still
conducting the personal fight against
II. O. Bursum, which II began with
the publication of the so'called ex-
pert report, nearly two years ago
They All Sat Still
If any ones pride has been iniur-
ed, it is to be regretted but the fact
remains that no attempt was made
in open court when the case was
called. to prove that H. o. Bur.
| sum was guilty of the many charges
| against him.
The experts report may not have
entered into the case, but the time
: for Mr.. Field to talk was when evil
dence was demanded and not after
judgment has been rendered.
Good government and good citi-
zenship demanded it.
Believes Him Honest.
The Citizen as previously stated on
a great many occasions, believes that
II. o. Bursum is and has always been
honest and upright in public and
private affairs.
The Citizen does not believe the
enemies of Mr.. Bursum could have
, made a case against him had they
appeared in court with evidence,
which they did not
However, the case has been de-
cided with Mr.. Field present in court
ana If the eminent attorney had any
evidence and did not use It, a better
/ explanation will be needed than
mere Interests of my client" good
government or good citizenship.
Tries His Cases in Court.
Mr.. Bursum has always tried his
cases in the courts in preference tc
the newspapers whereas in giving
publication to such a statement as
the one published i'm the Mornine
Journal, the well known attorney Is
only following out the method Of that
organ in trying men in its newspa-
per,
The Citizen is very glad that its
casual remarks-not directed at him
at all-stirred the eminent attorney
| Mr.. Field, to such a pitch that he
saw fit to place himself on record
with such a. monument to good gov
ernment as the suppression Of evi-
dence when both parties to the sui:
were anxious to hear it.

MOTHER STRANGLEDHER
THREE YOUNG
CHILDREN
After Killing Them. She Con.
feSsed to Her Husband and
Was Arrested,
Is EVIDENTLY INSANE
FROM SEVERE ILLNESS

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 24.-Mrs.
Bertha Mund, aged 27 years, early
today strangled her three children,
Christopher, aged s; Helen. aged 2,
and Freda, aged eight months, to
death. She then went to the Penn
sylvania railroad yards, where her
husband, Frederick Mund, Is employ
ed and informed him. She was ar
rested.
There is little doubt that the wo-
man is insane, as her condition since
her arrest bears out the theory of
insanity, which was advanced by her
husband as a cause for the act. They
had lived together i'm the best of
spirits and she had been greatly de-
voted to her family, but illness prob
ably caused her mind to become un-
balanced. She does not appear TO
realize that she has done anything
wrong and feels no compunction
whatever.
Strangled In Bed.
The bodies of the three murdered
children were found in their beds
where she told her husband she had
left them. The boy. Christopher,
had evidently struggled to escape
from her fingers, but she had held
him by the throat until death en-
sued. There were no marks of any
great struggle around the bodies of
either of the younger children and
it is evident that her story that she
strangled them while they slept is
true.
Her husband is overwrought with
grief at his wife's strange action,
but excuses her on the belief that
she is insane. She is the daughter
Of a prominent Pennsylvania family
Her mother was insane for a time
during her grlhood, but 1t was per-
sumed that her insanity, due to a
blow on the head, had been entirely
cured and It was not believed to be
hereditary

WITNESS SAYS PRICES

New York, Sept. 24.-Two books,

actions by which the Standard OIL
company of New Jersey took over
the control OF nineteen other com
panies. formerly allied with the
Standard oil company of Ohio. cam

Frank b. Kellogg, government coun-
sci, who hopes by those books to
prove that the Standard company OF
New Jersey is really reorganized
company which was dissolved by the
government fifteen years ago for re-
straint of trade. John n. Bensinger,
transfer clerk in the employ of the
company's liquidating trustees be-
tween 1892 and 1899, when the re-
organization was effected. testified
that he left the books in the vaults
of the Standard building, No. %
Broadway, in 1900, but a search Of
the vaults failed to reveal them.
Men or Books.
Kellogg will Insist that either the
books be produced or the men who
took them from the vaults. He says
that it would be an impossibility for
anyone to take the books from the
vault without certain officials of tho
Standard OIL company knowing of
their removal. and he proposes to
/ nave either the books or the men
who took them, and If the latter are
produced he proposes to learn from
them their reason for. removing the
records, and II possible, what those
| records contained.

concerning the provisions OF the con.
