THE UNWRITTEN LAW is
UPHELD; HUSBAND FREE


Carthage, Mo-, March 27.-The un-
written law has been upheld again, this
time in the Sanderson case. The jury
deciied that Arthur Sanderson, charged
with the murder of DR.. Solomon ID.
Meredith in Carthage January 2 is not
guilty.
Mrs. Sanderson, in defense Of her
husband, testified that DR.. Meredith.
who had been their family physician,
had made love to her when she went
to his office to consult him.
In the arguments of counsel for the
defense a parallel with the Thaw case
was drawn and the unwritten law was
brought out. Attorney Shannon said
there was evidence of an exaggerated
S in that the defendant thought him
self providentially called upon to avenge
the ravishment of his wife. He de-
clared that DR.. Meredith deserved the
fate he met.

SAYS RIFLES WERE
SOLD TO JUNK DEALERS

Washington, ID. c., March 21.-That
soldiers invariably were able to secure
extra cartridges and sometimes had ex-
ira rifles as we'll was asserted by Will
liam Ryan, corporal in Company X,
Twenty-sixth infantry. in the Browns
vile investigation before the senate
committee on military affairs.
Ryan was at Brownsville prior to
the coming of the negro soldiers OF
the Twenty-ifth infantry. He was
serving as the artificer under the quar-
termaster sergeant, at whose orders he
said he sold 1000 rounds OF ammunition
TO q junk dealer in Brownsville. linden
the same mans orders he said he had,
defaced the numbers on six Krag-Jor>
.gensen rifles; these guns were held out
,at the time the order was issued for
the surrender of all Krag rifles. He
claimed that he did not know what had
become OF these guns and declared that
he did not consider that he had done
wrong in aiding the sale OF the gov
'ernment property.
When the session adjourned for the
day, Thomas Taylor, a former member
of Company B, Twenty fifth infantry,
was on the stand. The expert ex-
animation OF shells picked up in,
Brownsville is declared to show that
his gun was used in firing eleven OF
these shells. Taylor denied that his
gun q been fired since his company
left Fort Niobrara a month prior to
the shooting.
The cross examination OF Ryan was
taken up at the afternoon session. In
detailing the sale of cartridges to
Fields, the Brownsville junk dealer.
h witness said he had placed the
original government package in a
Krag-Jorgensen box. He said that he
had no idea why this p~recaution was
taken.
The extra guns which We're in the
possession of Company K, Twenty
sixth infantry, he said were obtained
in some manner while the company
was in the Philippines. Originally
there had been twenty In the lot. He
thought that Captain Kilborne, the
company commander, had given some
of them away, that one a been sold
by Cheesman and that Captain Kill
bourne still has one. He said he could
not say what had become of the 9th.

Nothwithst+ nding his excitement
Teddy went at his work very judi
ciously. His plan was to swing the
boat up by the tackles hauling al
ternately at the bow and stern and
making each line fast to its Delaying
pin before he went at the other, until
she was free of the chocks and high
enough above the floor for the trap
door to open. then, keeping a couple
of turns of the ropes around the be-
LAYING pins so that the boat would
not get away from him, to lower her
first at the bow and then at the stern
until he had her safe in the dock be-
low. This was good plan. but 1t en-
countered serious difficulties In exc
cutting 1t. The bow came up all right,
but for the life of him he could not
bulge the stern. This was discour-
aging, but Teddy was a lad of expe-
dients and had not lived all his life
on the seashore without learning
something about rigging. There We're
plenty of blocks and ropes lying
around, and it did not take him long
to rig a snatch block to a bolt and to
the end of the line he had been haul
ing on. With this double purchase
by putting out all his strength, he was
able to raise the boats stern.
1t was the queerest thing in the
world, he thought, that the stern of
that boat should be so heavy. 1t
seemed as though it were made Of
solid iron. At last he got the boat
clear of the chocks and got the line
made fast just in time to meet the
jerk on 1t that came as the boat, now
hanging free by the falls from the
ridgepole of the roof, swung across
nearly the whole width of the loft with
