II LESSON Of THE TRIAL.
Here re are, in the middle Of a second protracted trial which has cost
New York taxpayers hundreds Of thousands of dollars that might be put
for the children of the poor. Here is Mr.. Jerome employing every device
OF the skilled lawyer to track a human being to his death. Here is Frank
Garvan ceaselessly active in supplying his chief with fresh weapons in the
shape Of suggestions and reminders. AL for what? That one poor wretch
may meet death sooner and in more horrd guse than It would otherwise
appear to him.
Here are the forces Of the defense nghing the shadow Of death with
the shadow of madness. The suavey courteous Peabody, the shrewd and
smiling Dan (Cupid) oReily. the careessly competent Litle.on, and ever
behind him the feeder Of the defenses engine. the Caravan Of the Thaw
forces, Hugh Herndon.
Teton since the latter resumed private practice, has been so actively en-
gagged in handling the evidence and papers of the defense and in interview
ing the prospective witnesses that probably not ten persons in the cour,
room know his name " his important connection with the case.

This undertaking is intended
for the benefit of all the CONNER
cial interests of our city, not for

holders. No occasion in the hist
tory of Rock Island has been as
thoroughly or as extensively adj

from abroad will he very large
with proportionate benefits to all

who have contributed their time,

the exposition deserve the earn

NOTHING KNOWN OF
THE PROJECT HERE
Rumor From Rockford Involving Rock
Island Tool Company Seems
to Be Unfounded.

Rockford, ILL.,, Sept. 23.-(Argus Spe-
cial) -Secretary Coonrad of the Rock
ford Merchants association has re-
ceived a request from the Rock Island
Tool company desiring the location
here for wise factory. Conrad put
them in touch with the owners of the
old Forbes plant as to water power
and this appears to be the sort of plant
which will meet the demands.
President F. g. Young of the COM
pany. when asked regarding the fore
going this afternoon, said it was all
news to him, the matter never having
come before the directors, and any
move of the nature indicated being
therefore without authority.
The Rock Island Tool company is
one of the younger manufacturing
firms of the city and is doing a thriv-
ing business. 1t is controlled by Rock
Island men, and this and the fact that
it was recently voted loan of $4,000
by the industrial commission to build
a new factory, renders it altogether
unlikely that any removal project will
be seriously entertained.
