Opposed to Capital Punishment.

you say that you are opposed TO cap
ital punishment in ordinary murder
cases?'
YES. I don't believe society has a
right to take away from man that
which it cannot give him. Capital pun

IRENE cases l have already spoken of.

Money Lender Showed Aside.

The defense, called upon to exercise its
eighth challenge. excused Z. F. Crow,
who had qualified at the morning ses-
sion.
The attempt to fill Crows seat soon
led TO a spirited clash of counsel In which
Judge Wood took hand to the extent
of compelling James II. Hawley of the
state to take his seat when ne was about
to speak in answer to a remark made by
Richardson of the defense.
George Rivers, a rancher. with positive
views as to the guilt or innocence of the
accused. had been under examination ten
minutes or more before Mr.. Hawley chal-
lenged him for cause. Judge Wood turned
to the defendants counsel table for con-
sent to the release of the proposed juror.
Richardson said;

qualify him. We have no objection"

Position of Prosecution.

''-rhere was no misrepresentation on our
part" declared Senator Borah of the
prosecution. This juror said ne was
ready TO inflict the death penalty in
cases where there was an organization
whose purpose it was to attack society by
assassination. We are prepared to rest
our case on that.
The Juror was asked a few questions,
the answers to which indicated that his
views had undergone no change since the
morning session. He declared that in
eases of war and organizations opposed
TO society, he believed in the inffiction OF
death as a measure OF self-defense.
Counsel for the state consulted togeth-
er for a few minutes and Senator Borah
announced:
I'VE will not interpose challenge"
1--WE will not" retorted barrow OF the
defense.
Thus the matter ended and Tortrtel-
lotte remained at No. 6. TOurteilotte was
born in Connecticut, but his fathers farm
was in three Establishments, Con-
necticut and Rhode Island.

Opinion here is divided as to the
justice of Judge Evans ruling in or

holding to the view that the case

There is no doubt but that the
states case att the present trial was

Blydenburgh purchased poison was a
severe blow to the, states case.

TRAIN CREW BLAMED.
Second Freight in Webster City collis-
ion Responsible for Weatherford's

Special TO Times Republican.
Webster City, Sept. 14.-Coroner w.
w Wyatt OF kamrar, held an inquest
over the remains of S. j. Weatherford,
who was killed yesterday in a collision
between freight trains on the illinois
Central After hearing all the testi-
mony the jury found that the first train
had it's tail lights burning and was
clearly within it's orders by stopping
at the water tank. In the absence of
any, orders to show that the second
train had clear rights to the main
track, the jury finds that the blame
for the wreck rests with the engine
crew and conductor of freight No. 50,
for running their train into the city
at such a rate of speed as made it i'm
possible to stop it in time to avoid
the collision. The train crew testified
that their train was not moving over
more than twelve miles per hour, but
1t is certain that it was either NOV
ing faster than this or that the engi-
neer had very poor control of his
brakes.

take up literary work. for which he
has been offered a salary of $3.50 per

net over $1,000 per year. The calls
have come, three from Missouri, two
from Texas, three from California;
two from Arkansas; two from Arizo-

Cincinnati. In connection with these
he has an offer from the American
Christian Missionary society, which is
the national organization OF the
church, proffering him the travelling
lectureship in the interests of the
Christian church Centennial, which
will be held in 1909 in Pittsburg, Pa.
He says the average pastor Is too
much regarded as hired man. with
no time which he dare consider his
own; that the self-respecting man
soon tires Of this, but is helpless unless
qualified for something else"
Mr.. Smith has learned trade, and
thinks Of returning to that if he can
not find pastoral work to his liking.
He once quit pastorate to get out OF
debt, and at that time commanded
double the salary he ever received
