BOISE. Idaho, July 27.-As soon as
Judge Woods instructions are conclud-
ed, the Haywood case will go TO the
jury No one looks for an early YER
dict Few think there will be anything
but a disagreement
Senator Borah concluded the last ar
gument for the prosecution last night
His utterances were so bitter. his pic
ture Of the murder of former Governor
Steunenberg so startling that Mrs.
Steunenberg, the murdered mans
widow tainted and had to be carried
from the court room. Haywood's aged
mother was also unable to stand the
tension of the hearing and was absent
the greater part of the day. His in
valid wife and IL year old daughter
were at his side, however, from the
moment court opened until il adjourn
ed for the night
Haywood sat like an image during
Borah's address. Not a muscle of his
face twitched as the speaker denounc-
ed him, demanding that the jury con-
denim him to death on the scaffold.
Charge Of Judge
The frantic oratorical efforts of at
torneys for both the State and defense
were set at naught to-day by Judge
Wood, who, as presiding judge, had
the last word TO say The courts
clear exemplihcation of the law in the
ease took out the flights of Darrow
into the realms of Socialism, and Bo-
rah's impassioned plea for the flag,
and again reduced to dry facts the real
kernel of this, the most famous Of all
murder cases, the fact that Haywood
was not on trial because he was an
bhicer of the American Federation Of
Miners, or because of any trouble in
Colorado, but for the murder of Frank
steunenberg, Idaho's former governor
Judge Wood has issued instructions
that are probably the most voluminous
In the criminal history of the country.
The court read them carefully. sum-
ming up the $1,000 and odd words, 1t
can be stated that Judge Wood o. in
sisted that the jury must convict, If at
hll, after every reasonably doubt has
been removed.
Orchards Testimony
Plunging into Orchards evidence.
Judge Wood went to great pains to
show that It must be carefully weigh
ed. He said
"The jury is instructed that Orchard
claims that he had an accomplice in
The commission Of the offense charged
In the Indictment. A person cannot
be convicted of crime upon the testi-
mony Of an accomplice unless such ac~
complice is corroborated by other ed
dence, which Of itself tends to connect
the defendant with the commission Of
the offense charged and the corrohora-
tlon Is not sufficient If It merely shows
circumstances attendant upon the
commission of the offense.
"The jury Is instructed that they are
entitled to take into consideration all
the facts and circumstances as far as
secured from the evidence occurring
subsequent to the first witness, Harry
Orchard.
II you believe from the testimony
herein that Orchard was induced or
Influenced to testify In this case by
hny promise his testimony should be
received by the jury with caution and
scrutinized with great care.

that that ought to be a good country
for hunting.
ut certainly is" said the hunter
proudly. 81 killed one of the finest
bucks yesterday l ever saw, and he
weighed over 200" 1t was the season
when deer may not be shot without
subjecting the hunter to heavy fine.

warden, land do you know who you
are talking to-"
Being assured that he did not the
officer said:
"Why, am the chief game warden
of Colorado"
The hunter was only taken back a
moment, when he said:
"And do you know who you are talk
ing to-" The warden did not know.
"Well, sir" said the hunter, appar.
entity much relieved, you are talking

NV Pneumatic Snake.

Last year, in company with an emil

out Pimlico road for drive in a new
touring car. On the way we found a
snake, an ophidian reptile with elon-
gated body, intoxicated scales, no
limbs. and remarkable dilated
mouth, fitted with tongue, at the
termination of which were two fila
ments. My companion, who has own
ed many snakes, declared that this
was hoop snake. 1t was exhausted;
nearly dead, in fact, with much high
rolling, and in mercy we took 1t into
our automobile The snake became
so fond of us we could look him in the
eye without a CULVER. About four
miles beyond the roadhouse we ran
into a lot of glass and punctured
tire. There we were, far out Of town.
with mighty slim chance of getting
back by any others means than the
trolley. Our snake, which in the
meantime had recovered his health
evidently appreciated the difficulty
fo@ while we had the wheel lacked up
to make an examination he glided up
to us, take long breath to fill him
self with wind, and naively coiled him
self around our wheel, making an
ideal tire and enabling us to return to
Baltimore in time for lunch.-H. e.

"NeqIect and Dust.p


a master mirror in silent room
Became the sleeping spot of damp
and dust;
No face looked in It's mystic depths to
bloom
With smiles, and soon neglect and
rebel rust
Destroyed it's truthful speech
Then unto all and each
That came Within it's reach
It gave bhghting lie;
The young seemed bleared OF eye.
And grim and sadly worn;
The old beheld their torn
And withered brows and gave
Themselves to dark despair,
Thinking that soon the grave
Would have them as its share.
And thus the mirror told its blighting
Lies,
And filled its patrons with deep
disgust;
It took their happy songs and taught
them signs,
Serving it's tyrant lords, Neglect and
Dust.

FLEEING THIEF SLAIN.
Member OF Posse Finds Victim Is
His Brother.

Hagerstown Especially The town
I of Williamsport, six miles from this
city, was thrown into state of ex'
element over a tragedy following
an attempt to rob the store of Harry
Bloomberg on the corner of the main
square of the town between 2 and 3
o'clock A. NJ
Emory, alias Hogan Kreps, was
shot and almost instantly killed by
party of prominent citizens, who
say they caught him in the store.
Kreps was shot in the back with a
shotgun while fleeing down the prin-
cipal street, and after running
short distance he fell in an alley
near the Wabash Hotel and expired.
Death was caused by internal hemor-
rhages produced by the shot wounds,
according to the statement of DR..
E. H. Gather.
The attempt to rob the store
aroused a number of citizens, who
were awakened by the robber smash
ing a glass in the window. A shot
was fired by a citizen to brighten
him, and he left, but returned in
short time and entered the store
while some men were watching.
Summoning the proprietor, posse
of citizens closed in around the store
and the robber, who found that he
was caught, leaped through a win
dow, and though commanded to
halt, dashed down the street. He
was pursued by the crowd and ran
nearly a block amid a fusillade of
shots. Somebody in the crowd had
shotgun and fired, the shot result.
ing in Kreps' death. He was found
soon afterward by his brother and
several other citizens. He had BEEN
peppered with shot in the back and
head.
Kreps was about thirty-seven years
old, and has several brothers living
here. His brothers denounce the
shooting as being uncalled for, and
are urging an investigation of the
case, which is being made by Sheriff
c. H. Deibert and States Attorney
A. ]. Long. A coroner's jury was
summoned and will hear testimony
of witnesses to ascertain, if possible
who killed Kreps.

The Use Of Slang.

AS we see it, the one valid objection
to slang Is it's use by persons who are
slangy and nothing more. In such q
case it ceases to be expressive. Pep
per and salt crudely applied do not
season, but sicken. AS eondiment &c
written speech, especially, it calls for
the educated taste of the expert. The
writer who would use it effectively
must make it plain that his stock OF
English is pure and abundant. Its
skisful employment on the editorial
page of The Sun is Joy to the jaded
reader; in the hands of the gentlemen
who provide the yellow" press with
esoteric essays on sport it is apt to be
a WEAKNESS to the flesh.-Life.
