UNWRITTEN LAW
A GOOD DEFENSE
Mrs. Bowie and Her Son Ac-
quilted of Murder of HUI
bert PoSey in Maryland.

La Plata, Nd, July 12.-Five min
utes after retiring a verdict of acquit-
tai was returned by the jury in the
case of Mrs. Bowie and her son. who
were tried for the murde' of Hubert
Posey. The case ives given to the
jury at 1925 p. m, and the court then
took a recess.
State Attorney Winners statement
last evening that the prosecution
would be satisfied with a verdict of
manslaughter was a surprise, and was
met by the demand of former State
Senator Posey, for the defense, that the
jury either acquit or find accused guilty
of murder.
DEPENDENTS Not Insane.
Congressman Sidney E. Mudd, of
counsel for the defense, III his address
to the jury, disclaimed belief in the
insanity of Mrs. Bowie or her son,
though he declared that under the cir
cumstances they should not be held re-
spOnsible mentally or legally for hay
ing killed Posey when he refused to
marry Mrs BoWie's daughter after be-
traying her.
The family in this land of ours is
the nucleus and the nursery of the
commonwealth. The protection of the
sanctity of the family ties, the chastity
of women, the development and main
tenance of a salutary and exalted re-
spect for the honor of the mother, the
sister and the daughter becomes, there
fore, natural and essential feature of
the law in this land. In nearly every
state of this country there will be
found an exemplification and recogni-
ton of this fact and an adoption of this
doctrine. It is in this sense that I con-
fidently claim the protection of what /
have called the 'unwritten law as an
adequate defense for the defendants

witnesses in the Haywood trial, was re-
called by the state when the case opened
this morning at o'clock. He was asked

lively that he had talked to Orchard or
planned with him the killing of Sherman

about Orchard. He had no way of know

The first Haywood heard of the assas-

claimed the crime was a elimination of
the troubles in the Occur d'Alenes. The
papers also reported that a union card
had been found in the effects of Thomas
Hogan, who had been arrested on sus-
piciOn.
At miners headquarters there was con-
siderable discussion as to who Hogan
was, the consensus of opinion being that
it was Orchard. who had used that name
in leaving Cripple Creek to seek employ
ment elsewhere.

EXISTENCE.

Ottumwa, Ia, Oct Tin the arrest
yesterday of Walter Moore, the OF
tumwa police declare they have taken
the smoothest burglar that the city
has ever known. Burglaries for over
a year are laid at his door and the pc
lice accuse him of twenty successful
raids since April LIST last.
The case is peculiar one. Moore
who comes from one of the oldest and
most respected families of the city
claims that he is morally impeccable
when not under the influence of co
caine. He adds that when he is full
of dope he does not know what he Ii
doing and that all the thefts which
can be laid at his door were done
while under the influence of the drug
The police take no stock in this
Jekyll Hyde theory, but assert that
Moore is not only conscious but crafty

The large crowd which was at.
tracted to the Central M. E. church
Sunday morning to hear the first ser.
mon by the new pastor, Rev. Eugene
Allen, necessitated the opening of the
Sunday school room to accommodate
them. 1t is generally conceded that
Rev. Allen has a large place to fill
in succeeding Rev. Somerville, both
physically and spiritually, but from
the impression which he left with the
congregation Sunday 1t is evident that
he is equal to the occasion. With his
tall and well built form, his appear
ance on the platform Is quite pleas
ing and his graceful and easy manner
of delivery wins immediate favor with
his hearers. His sermons both morn
ing and evening were full of good
thoughts and the teachings he brought
from his text were expressed in the
simple but forceful style.
In the morning Mrs. Davies render.
ed beautiful vocal solo and Rev
Allen preached on the Spirit Filled

stories Differ.

Dr. ]. E. Morgan tells'a story of the
plentiful supply OF game which he and
Berry Aldrich of Fremont found while
on their hunting trip near Celia, Nebr.,
last week, which differs somewhat
from the report of others who have
covered the neighboring country this
summer. The doctor and his compan-
ion returned week ago from their ex-
petition and say that during their ten
days of hunting they killed 1853 chick
ems, 13 rattlesnakes. 8 adders, jack
rabbits and is trout. These figures
cast an air of insignihcance upon the re-
port OF the crowd who returned a few
days before from Nebraska. including
the Walton boys, Perry Asher, Joe
Taylor. Frank Roberts and Chas,
Brooke, for they claim that hunting
was not very fruitful and assign as
the reason that an early fall of 10 or
~ inches of snow in June killed most
of the brood and eggs. This crowd OF
fellows of course went into the west
ern part of the state and probably did
not have SO good location.

the close of the day and paid off his
employees for the weeks work Soon
after his return to his home in the
evening he was again seized with a

that he was in critical condition

that he expected the end Physicians

gentleman could not long endure the
spasms of illness that came at inter
walls during the night. He passed out
quietly at one-thirty o'clock Sunday

bers of his family.
The cause of death is attributed to
Bright's disease, from which he had
been a sufferer during the past
eighteen months. He was rs years

A JOINT MOVEMENT.
Pres. White and sec'y Perry Home
From Conference on the Above.

President John p. White and Secre-
tary Edwin Perry returned last week
from indianapolis, where they were
summoned to preliminary confer
ence of mine workers and operators
held during the early part of the
week for the purpose of opening nego-
tiations for a joint conference pro
posed for the near future. The OBJ
ject of the conference will be to es-
tablish a foundation for "joint
movement" relative to the contracts
which since the last general meeting
were made by the separate states, in
dependently of the joint board. The
comparative states" or districts of
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois were represented from the
former organization. Iowa has not
before been admitted to the organi-
cation, as the states named have al
ways been instrumental in fixing rates
but If the new joint movement is per
fected it is more than likely that Iowa
will have place therein and will have
voice in the work that comes before
the body.

When you have an article or prop

to you and ask you to raise your
price in order that they may compete
with you in the same field, you are
naturally led to believe that you are
causing the other fellow worry or
trouble.
Gesman Bros. have recently re-
ceiyed a number of communications
from land agents having property near
their Texas holdings, asking that they
raise the price of their land to $500
per acre, the prevailing price in that
section The Gesmans have been Of

the preacher is to preach the book,
its teachings and specific instructions
to mankind. Not oratory, art, litera-

arise a personal conversation will
generally remove all misunderstand-
