ACED ATTORNEY
is HELD GUILTY
CHICAGO JURY FINDS HE CON-
SPlRED WITH OTHERS TO
KILL RICH WOMAN.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Moses D. Brown,
the Oldest attorney in Chicago, and
Austin F. Kelley and R. Mclaughlin,
charged with conspiracy to murder
Annie M. Nolin, were found guilty
by jury in Judge Windes' court yes
terday. Kelley and Miss McLaugh.
lin were sentenced to indeterminate
terms in the penitentiary, while the
aged lawyer, who, 1t is said, had been
led by the others, escaped with a fine
of $1,000.
Assistant States Attorney Ritthouse
scored Kelley and Brown in his ar
raignment, declaring that the woman
had furnished the brains and nerve
In the attempt to poison Mrs. Nolan.
Mrs. Nolan was old and ailing and Sc
cured Miss Mclaughlin as nurse. She
would pay nothing for the nursing, but
decided her property to her nurse to
go to the latter at the owners death.
Brown drew up the deep and Kelley
became lodger at the home of Mrs.
Nolin. Then the conspiracy to hasten
the change In ownership of the estate
was formed, and poison in small doses
was administered to the patient.
When the situation came under po-
lice observation and arrests were
made Mrs. Nolin was, still alive, but
very i'll. She is nov in a sanitarium.
The prosecutor in addressing the
jury declared that Miss Mclaughlin
had been known under seven different
names in as many states. She was
once the wife, he said, of a general
passenger agent of the Baltimore G.
Ohio railroad, man named Laughlin
whom she dragged down, squeezed
dry and divorced.

The republican and democratic par
ties owe the origin of their party en-
gblems, the elephant and mule, to
Thomas Mast. 1t was back in 1874,
when this cartoon first appeared in
Harper's Weekly, during the strenu
GUS campaign in which President
Grant was strongly backed for third
term, that Mast first brought these
two animals out of the jungles and
made them famous. AS a matter of
fact, the donkey antedates the repub-
lican elephant by more than four
years, for it was back in Harpers
Weekly for January is, 1870, that the
long-eared animal dropped off the tip
of Nast's pen, but in this first appear
ance it got no such dignified name as
donkey 1t was just plain jackass. 1t
is curious development that has

made the jackass of 1870, which was
then the derision of the opposition, to-
day the accepted emblem of the party.
The rancor of it has been lost in the
interim and the party now is vain of
its symbolic possession. The long
despised barnyard prima donna had at
last come into its domains and today
carrying weight for age, it cuts out a
fine pace for the elephant in the ma
tional handicap.
Thomas Mast, the father of the
American cartoon was not only a
cartoonist but an artist and thor
ough politician of marked partisan
ship. When he died four years ago
at Guayaquil, Ecuador, he was in the
United States consular service. For

Vain Appeal to Vatican Last Hope of
Father Wrenn, Unfrocked Year
Ago at Sioux City.

Sioux City, Aug. 1.-THE Rev. Faith
er Francis Wrenn, upon whose appeal
the congregation of the propaganda IN
Rome ruled adversely yesterday, was
unfrocked by Bishop Garrigan a year
ago on charges of conduct unbecoming
a clergyman. He then was in charge
Of parish at North Fonda.
Details Of the charges never have
been given out, it being explained that
they are unfit for publication.
The case has been fought through
all the church courts here, the action
of the bishop being upheld in each in
stance. Father Wrenn then appealed
to the vatican, and some months ago
went to Rome to personally assist in
the presentation Of his defense.

New York, Aug. 12.-Amid the great

overwhelmed bulls were for a time
obliged to cease buying. This pre-

FRED M. C. cHoATE, ASSOCIATED

Des Moines, Aug. 12. - Fred M. G.
Choate, who lost in his sensational ef-
forts to get the custody of his little
girl in the district court yesterday,
tried to commit suicide this morning
by severing an artery in his left arm.
He was taken to the Office of DR..
Lambert, his brother-in-law, with
whom his wife has stopped and where
an effort is being made to save his
life.
Choate Loses Suit.
i Choate, who is a prominent patent
attorney and who is said by his wife
TO have been associated with Elihu
Root at one time, married the daugh-
ter of a wealthy Hampton, Iowa, par
.ents while she was making her home
In Boston. She made several trips
abroad with him, but their married
life was not happy, and she left him
recently, coming to Des Moines to
make her home with her brother, DR..
Lambert Choats. who is a cousin
Of Joseph H. Choate, former ambassa-
dor to England, followed her to Des
Moines and brought habeas corpus
proceedings to regain the custody Of
their child. The suit was decided yes
.erday in favor Of the woman.
Threatened Suicide.
Last night Choate telephoned to his
wife to come and see him at once at
his hotel or he would commit suicide.
His wife said she would come at once,
then she sent friends to deter him
from his rash threat. Choate was
placed under surveillance, but he
eluded his guards during the night and
did not return to the hotel until this
morning. A few hours later he made
the attempt at suicide, and he is now
in critical condition.

great measure his pictures were des-
tined to become a sort of national gal
lery of pictorial history. AS time sped
on, many of his pen sketches came
each to represent some distinct step
in a struggling nations progress. Mast
was always politician. At first a
little one; in the end great. Mast was
radical in his opinions and pictured
these In so clear manner that he
converted much of the country to his
belief and had marked influence on
American politics in his day. The
elephant was meant to symbolic po-
litical greatness; the donkey demo-
cratic wisdom and loud braying, for
Mast was first of all a republican. His
cartoons were usually based on bitter
est satire, ridiculing the opposition
and holding UP the favored side in a
pleasing way.
