BIsSETT IS GUILTY
HIS WIFE swooNs WHEN SHE
 HEARS VERDICT.
Railroad Man of Birmingham Convict ed of Killing His sfster-in-Law Jury Says Life
 Term.

Birmingham, June l4-(Special.) )--- The jury in the case of Frank Bissett, Jr., charged with the killing of his sis ter-in-law, Mrs. Maggie Patterson, brought in a verdict of guilty this af- ternoon and fixed his sentence at life in the penitentiary.
 Mrs. Bissett was in the court room and swooned when the verdict was read.
 Bissett was formerly an engineer on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and is well known, having been rear- ed in Birmin gham. About a year ago he shot and killed his sister-in-law Mrs. Patterson.
 Judge Green in the criminal court this morning charged the jury In the case of Bissett The charge was a lengthy one and covered in detail the phase if insanity.
 Said Judge Green. The defendant, however, does not deny the killing, put sets up the claim that at the time ne committed the deed he was insane as the result of a mental disease and in consequence thereby should not be held responsible for that act
 "A mere emotional insanity is not a defense for crime. The insanity must be a. mental disease. The very corner stone of the plea of insanity is that there must be disease of the brain, 
 and not a mere mental or moral idiosyncracy or peculiarity. or a moral obliquity."
 "Ecery man is presumed to intend the material and probable consequences of his own act, but the law In its hu- manity recognizes that disease some times lays its biighting hand upon man and so empowers his entellect and req son as to make him unable to perceive the nature and quality of his acts, powerless to distinguish between right and wrong, or to control his will and choose the right and eschew the wrong, and therefore this involves the legal responsibility of one charged with crime. when the defense is insanity"
 The charge was listened to atten- lively by the jury and the large crowd of people in the court room.
 The jury retired shortly before II o'clock and at o'clock was taken to dinner

DENY SCHMITZ BAIL
CONVICTED FRISCO MAYOR GOES
 TO PRISON.
While Incarcerated. He Is Executive in Name ORly and Supervisors Must Appoint an Act-
 ing Mayor.

San Francisco, June l4.-Bail was today denied Mayor Schmitz and Judge Dunne ordered him taken to jail.
 The Mayor this morning asked Judge Dunne to release him on bail until sen tence is pronounce Thursday. June 27 The request was, however. not grant ed.
 In refusing bail, Judge Uunne said:
 Tn every criminal case after convic- tion by a jury, the defendant is or dered into the custody of the sheriff Any other disposition of this defendant certainly would have to be proceeded by & proper and formal showing. That is consideration should not even al- low the prosecution to waive" x
 After bail had been denied. Schmitz. in the company of Deputy Sheriff Don Reban jumped into an automobile pro vided by the city for the use of the Mayor and sped rapidly away.
 According to statement made today by Acting District Attorney Heney. Eugene E. Schmitz. being convicted. becomes mayor in name only. Though unable to perform the duties of his office, under the law of California, Schmitz. 1t is said. still retains the of- flee.
 few years ago a law was placed on the statute books of the state that a convicted person could not be busted fro moffice until such conviction had been upheld by a higher court. As cases move slowly on appeal, it is con- sidered likely that the higher court woul dnot pass on this matter until after the mayors term of office has expired.
 Under the charter, however. Schmitz by reason of his confinement in prison, should he be sent there, would be un- able to perform the duties of his off, flee. Under the circumstances the su- pervisors have no power to oust him, but must select some one of their num- Der to act as mayor during Schmitz's s disability. As chairman of the fi- nance board, Gallagher would become acting mayor. leaving the government practically in the hands of the prose cutors, who, while they may be em- powered to install new officials. may succeed in effecting extensive reforms in the civil government

We put the cart before the horse Three millions of poor black people, with some centuries of ahject slavery and many ages of barbaric night behind them, were not equal to using the free dom that came to them so suddenly. and especially the ballot, with pru- dence or intelligence. How could they? I don't blame them in the least. On the contrary. I sometimes wonder at their restraint As during the sec tional war, they were faithful ser wants, remaining at home and tilllng the field and taking care of the wo- men and children, so. since the war. according to their lights, they have tried to be good citizens. 1 glory in every step of progress they have made and they have made many strides from that day to this. and my heart goes out to the black man wherever l see him honestly struggling to raise his children to a condition better than his own"
 Of the progress of the blacks in the South and their present condition, MT. Watterson said:
 We may not escape our manifest destiny Neither of us can get rid of the other Schemes to that end, how ever ingenious are wholly visionary. Since this is so, let us take account of what has been done these forty years of freedom.
 q stand here tonight to declare that the world has never witnessed any such progress from darkness to light as that which we see in those districts of the South where he has had a decent op- portunity for self-advancement. Look at Jamaica, nearly a century eman- cipated, the negro Is at standstill; look at South Africa, riches piled on riches, the negro still is savage and less considered than the animals--yet 1t is England that piques herself on what she has done for freedom and the black man.
 Let the negro go to any New Eng land community and try to get em- ployment. Barred on every hand; plenty of demand. but no work. There are regions North and West which never knew slavery and were unit for the Union where the negro Is re- fused admittance. He is told to move { on. He is. what the President described the other day as an undesirable citi- gen.
 The south for the Negro.
 Turn Southwark; plenty both Of work and wages for all who bring tranquil minds and willing hands. Bad people, siothful people, get on no- where But nowhere on the inhabitable globe has the liberated slave fared so we'll; nowhere has he so fair an out look as in the Southern States of North America. Why? Because we know one another and no matter what any body says to the contrary. there is common bond of sympathy between us. Never should the black men of the South say that he is the weaker in the race toward perfection, and for long time must look to the white man for help of many kinds. It Is through these reciprocal obligations and inter ests that the two races will reach an institutional system of living and do- ing entirely satisfactory to both.

 Following McClaughry came Frank Isaacs, register clerk in the San Fran cisco postoffice, who further identified the records introduced in evidence. On cross examination Isaacs said he was subpoanaed by a PinkertOn.

 No sir" laughed the witness.
 The next step in tracing the letter was the introduction of Miss Pearl Moore of the Denver post office. Miss Moore identified an entry which she wrote in the received registry book which showed the receipt of letter from "J. Wolff. If25 Stout street Den yer" addressed to U. Dempsy. San Francisco"

HON. John S. Wilson, who has just

throughout the state as an able law

He has been solicitor Of his circuit

Latham, and Is still favorably remem-
bered by many Of his old school mates,
who thought much of him then, but
who have not seen him since. From

PORK RAISERS IN LUCK.

The cold snap Of the past few days
has been grateful development to
those who still had fat hogs to kill,
and OF these there were quite a num-
ber scattered all over the country.
Almost everybody who had hogs,
slaughtered a part Of the stock on
hand during the cold weather preced-
ing Christmas. holding the balance
along so as to have fresh sausage,
livermush spare ribs and back bone
later on; but with the warm weather
that followed Christmas. people dare
not do any more slaughtering for fear
Of losing their meat.
There has been not a little COM
plant during the past few weeks.
Some OF the people have been pinch
ing, If not exactly on account of the
scarcity Of corn. then because OF a
feeling that corn was being fed on no
profit except to prevent loss.
With the change OF the weather on
last Sunday. people began to look for
ward on Monday and Tuesday to re-
commencing the slaughter and thou
sands of hogs have been sending up
their last squeal during the past few
days.
