 TO the Editor of The Couraut.
 In reading the editorial comments ot the Courant on the letter of Professor Henry w. Famam many readers well draw thc inference that thc 'iuycsti- gatiug committee" were inconsistent fin their action and unfair to Mr, I.il- ley, when the contrary is true
 At tho trlal before tho committee and at Mr. Lillcy's request, the com- mittce issued subpoena duces tccun in blank, and gave it 10 him to all in tho names of his witnesses He turned the blank subpoena over to the attor- noy of the Lake company, who filled in the names of tho witnesses they wished to have summoned Not only this. but the questions Co be asked tho witnesses wcro prepared by tbc attorney of tho

JOHN F. VIVIAN

Chairman John F. Vivian of the re-
publican state central committee wishes
it known that an estimate of the re-
publican vote in Colorado, printed in
the Denver Post of Tuesday, October
27 and purporting to be from him was
absolutely false. Mr.. Vivian believes
from conservative figures of the can
vass made by the different county
chairmen that the republican state and
national tickets will have at least
$4,000 plurality and over $4,000 if the
full republican vote is polled. If re-
publicans do not shirk their duty on
election day, if they go to the polls
and VOTE there is no doubt of republi
can victory by the usual pluralities.
There is absolutely nothing in the sit
uation to indicate anything else. On
Sunday Mr.. Vivian will issue an of
fetal statement, giving the figures as
he expects they will be. They will en-
courage every republican to renewed
effort. They indicate victory along the
line.

THEN A TRAGEDY

SAGUACHE, Oct. 30.-Nesario D..
Herrero, aged 65, last night shot his
wife, aged so years, with winchester
shotgun, and blew the whole side of
her head off. 1t is thought that tho
tragedy occurred about nine O'Clock.
The body of the dead woman was
found by neighbor who called late in
the evening to borrow violin. Seeing
light burning the caller did not hes
itate to knock at the door. After
knocking several times and seeing the
door was unlocked he went in and
found the lifeless body of the old lady
lying on the floor. Nothing could be
found of the old gentleman as it was
learned later that he had gone down
town. A few moments later, however,
he was found in his house bleeding very
badly from wounds on his neck where
he had tried to take his own life by
cutting his throat with . dull butcher
knife.

Wife NOT GUILTY
OF BREAKING Law

FORT COLLINS. Colo, Oct. 2S.-
Word was received here today by At
torney Charles M. Neff that the state
supreme court had granted suppressed
eas in the case of George Sauer, who
was fined $500 on May 8, on the charge
of bootlegging.
In granting the writ the court for
the first time in the history Of the
state passed on the question ~ to
whether man can be held responsible
for sales of liquor made by his wife.
The decision means that the husband
is not responsibel unless he coerces
the wife into selling liquor, or unless
she acts as his authorized agent or he
ratities the sale or permits her to sell
continuously without attempting to
hinder her.
Both Sauer and his wife have been
arrested on the charge of selling liquor
The case against her was dismissed,
while he was declared guilty.
