ed in the case with the Home Savings
Bank of Iowa Falls by a reversal of the
last verdict by the iowa supreme court.
The case involves $1,000 and dates back
to the regime OF Edwin o. Soule, the
cashier of the bank who looted it and
later served a light term in the peni-
tertiary While Soule was cashier OF
the bank, he borrowed $1,000 of Otter
bach. When the note became due OF
terbach presented it to Soule who paid
him $1,000 in cash. The bank contend
ed that the $1,000 Soule paid Otter
bach in the settlement of the personal
loan was the banks money and was
stolen by Soule This contention, the
supreme court holds is good and Otter
bach loses out The district court
judges ruled in favor of Otterbach but
the higher tribunal takes a different
view of the case and entities the bank
to hold the $1,000 in litigation

E. S. Blydenburgh, Serving Sen
tence For Wife Murder,
Granted New Trial
HARDIN COURT is REVERSED
Under Ruling by Supreme Court, Sec.
ond Conviction Will Be Difficult -
Evidence Failed to Trace Poison to

Point.
Special to Times Republican.


!, Des Moines, July 5.-As forecasted in
| these dispatches several weeks ago, E..
| S. Blydenburgh. now serving life
| sentence for wife murder on conviction
in the Hardin county courts, has been
granted a new trial. His conviction was
reversed by the supreme court which
! indicated by its argument in the case
that the state will have extreme diff
Guilty in again convicting Blydenburgh
of the crime of wife murder
He was sentenced to life imprison
ment and appealed to the supreme
court. The court a few months ago af-
tirmed the decision of the lower court
Later a motion for rehearing was filed
and the court decided to grant the re-
hearing. Many new phases of the case
were presented at this hearing and the
court by unanimous vote reversed the
judgment of the lower court aud gave
Blydenburgh a new trial.
Judge Weaver wrote the opinion of
the court in reversal of the judgment
under which Blydenburgh faced life
behind prison bars. Judge Bishop dis
sentlng from some of the views of the
majority, but concurred in the judg-
ment of reversal.
Blydenburgh was school teacher
and was IS years of age when he mar
ried his wife, Jennie, in October. 1902.
She had much property and was much
hat he 4;
ments as to property, it is said, and are
ter she returned from church on May
"a, 1908, and partook of dinner which
sch had prepared she was taken sick
and died five days later. Her remains
were taken TO Ohio and buried and OH
June % were disinterred and an exam
ination disclosed that the vital organs
were clogged with arsenic.
Blydenburgh was charged with her
murder and was found guilty 1t was
shown that he had bought rough on
rats two months before she died. On
the trial the state did not trace the
poison used. 1t contended itself with
trying to prove that rough on rats has
arsenic in it. This was the vital error.
In the contention of the attorneys for
Blydenburgh that it was incompetent
merely to show that other samples of
the drug were poisonous and had ar
senic in them. 1t was essential that the
poison used to murder Mrs. Blyden-
burgh be traced. Because it was not
the supreme court reverses the judg-
ment and gives Blydenburgh another
chance for his liberty.
The court says that there was no
evidence to show that the defendant
had purchased, procured Or had arsenic |
in his possession. That he had bought
rough on rats therefore and samples of
this drug afterwards examined were
found to contain poison was not suf-
fcient to connect him with the poison
that ended the life of Mrs. Blyden- !
burgh, if indeed, she did not die of
natural causes.
The testimony shows that she was
with a fluid which was
strongly impregnated with arsenic.

mold found was an ingenious piece of
work 1t was constructed in cigar
box with the use of fine grade Of ce-
ment. The mold contained 10 dies, one
for 25-cent piece and II for nickles,
so that IS cents could be turned out
at one casting. In the center was a
round hole into which the metal was
poured and from this center was a tube
running to each Of the dies. 1t is sus-
pected that the many spurious nickeis
with which the slot machines have
been worked outside of the city of late
were made in this mold. The mold is
now in the possession Of the govern
ment agents in the city and they are
endeavoring to locate its owner.

BIG SALARIES.

If the bill passes relative tc
the Nye county officials the
District Attorney will be the
highest salaried official in the
state, as his salary will be $500,
nearly four times as much as the
Attorney General of the State
receives at the present time
The bill will no doubt become
a law, as it is considered a local
measure, and the members of the
legislature are allowing the diff
ferent county delegations to en-
act laws to suit themselves in
their own districts.
In his speech explaining the
bill, Assemblyman Ray stated
that the fee system that is
practiced at present made it
possible Tor the District ATTORNEY
to bankrupt the county by fees
without going outside his duties.
For the conviction of each vagrant
there is a fee allowed the District
Attorney Of S23. tits the custom
however, TO allow vagrants to
depart.
This salary, however, is not
considered large by the members
of the bar in that vicinity, as
there are a number of men who
make more than the salary paid
the District Attorney.
The Judges salary for that
district will be $4,000 when the
new law regarding the redistrict-
ing the State is passed.
Judge Breen of that district is
said to have been offered
salary of $4,000 if he would
continue in the Office, but he will
resign and resume his practice
and the development of his min
ng interests.
