'Section "A. No person shall be
eligible to a seat in the general as
sembly while he holds any office or

The Observer saw Mr.. Johnstone
and asked him if he wished to say
anything in regard to the question
raised. He said he did not; that ne
had not intended to take any notice
Of it.
Knowing that Mr.. Johnstone is not
man to violate any law Intention
ally, and that he is man who has
clear ideas Of his duty, he was asked
his view of the law or constitution,
50 far as it applies to his case. Ills

eff It were question between the
craftsmanship of the board of trus-

would not hesitate, but would with
draw from the board, for the reasony,
and the only reason, that my seat IN
the legislature was given me by the
people of Newberry county before,
the position on the board Of trustees;
and however much I value the conf
dence and esteem Of the board Of
trustees I could not consent to barter
away the position given me in the;
legislature by the people Of Newberry
county. But have not regarded, and
do not now regard, myself as dis
qualified from holding either posi-

the opinion of the best lawyers with
whom 1 have consulted, does not come
within the prohibition Of the consti-
tuition. When | was asked last sum-
mer to become a candidate for the
legislature I consulted with what |
regarded as good legal talent, and
thev confirmed the views that had
already been expressed. The trustee
ship which I hold under the Clemson
Will not being a disqualifying posi-
ton under the constitution, the
craftsmanship Of it cannot be, because
it is no new office and only held at
the will of the board and by reason
Of my being trustee. If 1t were a
new position, not growing out OF the
trusteeship, and giving any new pow
ers not conferred by the board them
selves, such new powers would make
the trusteeship itself vacant. To IL
lustrate: A member Of the legisla-
ture is appointed chairman of the
WAYS and means committee, for in

There being two separate provis-
ions Of the constitution one holding
that no person shall hold two offices of
honor or profit at the same time, and
the other being a special provision in
reference to members Of the general
assembly, it would seem that in this
case it is quite plain and no doubt
the legislature at its next session will
be called upn to settle this question
in order that there may be a preced-
ent by which such other cases may be
governed.

Accusing PIRintin of Planning
Number of Bold Rob-
berries.

After he had spent the greater part Of
two days on the witness stand the exami-
nation Of Tom Denuison in his libel suit
against the Daily News closed at 4 OF clock
yesterday afternoon. A few minutes later
the plaintiff closed his case and the de-
Tense led off with a deposition from Sher-
man W. Morris of Des Moines, an ex-con-
vict, in which Morris charged Dennson
with planning a number of robberies for
him (Morrls) to commit for a division of
the proceeds. A part OF these, according
to the deposition were successful and some
were not.
The reading OF the deposition by Attorney
w. r. Patrick for the defense was the only
incident of special interest to break the
monotony Of the days proceedings. While
the testimony was being read Dennison sat
with his attorneys and laughed heartily at
some of the passages as they were read
The reading Of the deposition was not com
pleted when court adjourned. +a
The first half hour of the afternoon ses-
sion was taken UP with the redirect exam
ination Of DenGison. Attorney Connell read
from the affidavit used by Attorney Van
Dusen for the News Tuesday a portion Of
1t which declared ]. H. Mcdonald had come
to Dennison, the afiant, and had told him
unless Dennison let him (NdcDonald) IN on
his policy game he would employ l. J. Dunn
and close the place up.
What became of this afidavit?" asked
Mr. Connell.

His attorney went into detail as to the
effect the various charges made in the OBJ
jectionable article had on him.
Which of these charges affected you the
most?"
THE charge OF putting that bomb on that
mans porch and trying to murder women
and children"
Mel Uhl, former manager of the Daily
News, was the last witness for the plain
tin He was put on the stand by Mr. Con-
nell to testify as-to the circulation OF the
News at the time the article was published
Attorney Patrick then took the stand and
read from the deposition of Sherman w
Morris of Des Moines. The reading was
done without objections from DenniAon's
attorneys.
Morris said he met Dennison in his gam
bling house in Salt lake city through the
medium of letter Of introduction from
Charley Prince a safe blower in the Utah
penitent'ary, whom Dennlson frequently VS.
tied He said shortly. afterward he had a
conversation with Dennison with reference
to holding M another gambler.
This gambler" he said, had no safe
and he used to bring his money down TO
the house Denhison was interested In and
deposit It in the safe. Dennison suggested
that I take HIS bank roll away from him.
1t amounted TO about $500"
He said the robbery was never com.
mitted as the man began to deposit his
money In a bank shortly afterward. He
had forgotten the name Of the man. but
