BLYoENBURGH MAY co FREE
Twice Convicted Wife Slayer May Not
Be Retired.

8 DO JhSItIS0s
r. H. Noble, who as county attorney,
Of Hardin county prosecuted and CON
victed 3. 8. Blydenburgh on the charge
Of having murdered his wife by adj
ministering poison four years ago In
Eldora. In discussing the granting Of
a new trial to the imprisoned man by
the supreme court, stated that in his
opinion Blydenburgh would not again
be prosecuted.
The point upon which the supreme
court ruled was whether at the trial
sufficiently CONCLUSIVE evidence had
been .adduced to show connection be-
tween strychnine purchased by Bly,
denburgh from an -Eldora druggist a
month or more before the death Of
his wife and the alleged crime. The
supreme court held that the testimony
had not, in its opinion, shown connec-
ton between the purchase Of the pol
son and its alleged administration to
the deceased.
The court has passed upon the con-
troverted point favorable to Blyden-
burgh and the next move will be to
obtain his release under bond for re.
trial. In the opinion of Mr. Noble,
the authorities will not press the
criminal action, and in thesend Blyden:
burgh will 60 free because OF the re.
fusal to incur the large expense OF a
new trial. Blydenburgh was tried and
convicted in February, 1903. He was
sentenced for life and has been in the
Anamosa penitentiary ever since.

The Oklahoma Constitution.


The plot to hold up the Oklahoma
constitution and prevent the admission
of the State before the next presiden-
tial election is clearly in process of be-
ing carried out, and the plant which
is engineering it is located in Washing
ton rather than Oklahoma. The osten-
sible reason is that the constitution has
gerrymandered the State in favor Of
the democrats, which is of course very
shocking to republican ideas of propri-
ETY., such thing as republican GER
rymander never never having been
known. But the real reason is that
the new State would probably fall into
Democratic possession and add seven
votes of. that political color to the cleo
toral college a year from next Fall. If
it had been supposed that Oklahoma
would prove to be SO strongly demo-
cratic, the last congress would have
withheld its enabling ordinance at least
until after the next Presidential cleo
ton. New States are desirable only as
they are republican in politics. Spring
