Interesting Homicide Case
in Union--Trial of Young
Doctor for Killing Negress.

Union special in The State of
10th instant: The trial of DR..
w. l.. Linder, prominent young
physician of this city, who in
the latter part of last November
shot negress named Lucy Lip
sey as she was coming out of
Swygerts store on Main street,
was begun here this afternoon.
AS will be recalled, on the 25th
of March preceding, the woman,
Lucy Lipsey, went to the pri
vate office of DR.. Linder and al
ter a short conference when he
responded to a knock at the door,
she drew a revolver and fred at
him point blank, severely wound
ing him in the side so that for a
while his life was despaired Of.
The woman was arrested and
when arraigned her defense was
insanity. At the June term of
court she was tried and found
guilty of assault and battery
with intent to kill, but on ac-
count of her health the Judge
only gave her two years in the
State penitentiary.
At this trial some very sensa-
tional testimony was brought
out in the form of letters from
the woman. She was afterwards
released on bond pending ap
peal TO the supreme court, but
before the decision was rendered
she was shot by DIR. Linder on
Main street. Some time was
spent in selecting jury and an
extra yenire was drawn as the
other jurors we're out on cases.
DR.. Linder's plea was self.de-
fense, evidence bein g introduced |

Company A has been in existence
much less than year, yet it is max
ing it's presence felt, and wishes in the
future to accomplish more, and 10
do this it has been considered wise to

what provision is made for them by
the United States and the territory,

M'CUTCHEON REPORTS ON TRIP

The Hachita, Fremont and other

A few miles further on and the Par.
adise district, with Rhodes as a cen
ter, sweils the population and the

districts are found gold, silver, copper,
iron, lead and other minerals, the
greatest wealth being in gold, copper
and lead.
Douglas in Seven Years Growth.
One hundred miles beyond Hachita
Is Douglas. Seven years ago the
present site of Douglas, in the Sui
phur Spring valley, was prairie, and
not house. Today Douglas is hust-
ling, growing city OF about 10000 in
habitants, the port of entry for the
mineral producing part of the state OF
Sonora drained by the Nacozari rail
road: has two great smelters aud
many other industries, and its people
look to FL Paso as tho. most favorable

RAILROADS

Chairman Bartine Ad-
dresses ColdfieldcrS
on the Subject

GOLDFTELD, Sept. 1.-Judge Hen
ry F. Bartine, Chairman of the Ne
vada Railroad Commission, appeared
before the Goldfeld Chamber OF
Commerce Saturday afternoon and
discussed the railroad situation in
Nevada at length. He stated during
his address that the Tonopah & Gold
field Railroad Company would Le
forced to reduce its passenger rate
from to cents per mile, and the
Tonopah & Tidewater and the Las
Vegas & Tonopah would also be
forced to grant reductions in passen-
ger rates.
Judge Bartine further declared that
within a short time he believes that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
will force the Southern Pacific Com
pany to grant Reno at least an inter-
mediate terminal rate and grant 9th
er points along the line a similar
rate. He stated that this will do
much to lower freight rates into
Goldfield and will assist in the more
rapid building up of Nevada.

RICKEY MUST STAND
TRIAL FOR FELONY
judge O'Brien OverruleS Demur-
rer of Defendants Attorneys
and Orders That He Be Tried
for EmbIeZZIement

The case decided by Judge O'Brien
is similar in every respect to the
cases in this district which are now
under consideration by Judge Langan
who will also be called upon to
render a decision on whether the
demurrer will be sustained or over
ruled.
The cases, as stated before, are
almost alike in every way, the same
contentious being made in both of
them. Judge Langan stated when in
this city a short time ago that he
and O'Brien were taking up the main
points in the cases together and that
they would render a decision shortly
From this it would be presumed
that the demurrers filed against the
against Hickey and the other officers
of the Statet Bank and Trust COM
pany would stand and that when
the decision of Langan is rendered
he will also overrule the demurrers.
This action menas that the defend
ants will be Immediately be brought
to trial for the felony charged against
them and it is understood that Hickey
will be arraigned for the purpose of
making his plea in the Tonopah
court at an early date.

HICHERC COURT
TO DECIDE
SummerfieId Divorce
Case to be Taken to
Supreme Court

A motion was made in the District
Court yesterday by the attorneys for
the defendant in the Summerfield di-
vorce case, Mrs. Summerfield, the
jury in which proceedings returned
its answers Monday, giving neither
side the right of decree of divorce,
to the effect that the verdict OF the
jury be ignored and that decree be
granted their client, Mrs. Summer
field. The plaintiffs counsel then
moved hat he verdict be set aside
and t he entire matter be submitted
to the court.
These two motions the court de-
MED, determined to let the eAure
controversy rest upon the results of
the action of the jury. AS it stands
now neither party to the case will
be able to secure divorce and is
thus prevented from marrying again.
1t remains for either party to carry
it to the higher court by appeal or
to move for a new trial upon grounds
which would need to be established.
In the absence of any such action
and the case is permitted to rest as
it is, another trial is impossible. un-
less the grounds for action are in
volved in the suit just tried.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Summerfield, will
be compelled to pay the costs of this
action and had not Mrs. Summerfield
made contingent fee contract with
her attorneys, he would have had
those costs to meet IL is understood
that the alimOny to Mrs. Summerfielj
allowed during the progress of the
case, will now be discontinued.

Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1908-09-02

Yesterday Judge O'Brien of Tono-
pah handed down decision in the
demurrers filed by T. B. Hickey in
the criminal cases brought against
him in Nye County and overruled the
same and ordered that the defend
ant, Hickey, be brought to trial.
The ruling is lengthy one and
covers the ground thoroughly, pre-
senting many citations from other
courts of the land and proving con-
clusively that the defendants in the
charges that have been brought
against them for embezzlement as
officers and directors of the State
Bank and Trust company, inso1vent.
The demurrer was brought on
several grounds among them being
that the banking Act of 1907 is un-
constitutional owing to the fact that
it advocated special legislation. That
it did not specify the nature Of the
deposits taken by bank known to
the officials to tie in an insolvent
condition and which act should allow
an Indictment for embezzlement to
be returned Also that the defend
ant, Hickey, received no deposits in
the bank directly and is not respon-
sible for the actsSpf his-ashiers and
hn hn
is charged with embezzling never
touched his hand but was received
by other parties. Further that there
was no provision in the statute max
ing the receipt of moneys by an
officer of the bank a crime against
it's head. In referring to the last
Judge OBrien says:
"Counsel's last contention is that
the indictment is fatally defective, be-
cause it alleges that the deposits was
not received by the defendant per-
sonally, but by clerk or teller who
was the agent of the corporation.
This position is untenable because
the indictment charges, in express
terms, that the deposit was received
by the defendant Hickey in his Off
cial capacity as president of the
State Bank and Trust company act
ing through the agency or instru-
mentality of the receiving teller CT
the corporation. In other words, the
indictment alleges that while the
physical receipt of the money was
made to the paying teller, still it
also alleges that the receiving teller
in receiving the deposit acted in be-
half of and under the authority and
direction of the defendant. The
question, therefore, of whether the
defendant would be criminally liable
or not for the act of the receiving
teller if he did not authorize and
direct the receipt of this particular
deposit does not arise and can not
be determined upon the demurrer.
The indictment charges the defend
ant Hickey in clear and unequivocal
terms with having received the de-
pOsit in his official capacity as pres
ident, knowing the bank to be in
solvent and this brings the case
squarely within the provisions Of the
statute and the indictment is there
; fore impervious to attack by de-
! murrer."
