HELD GUILTY
AGED ROCKWELL MAN is CON-
vicTED OF MANSLAuGHTER
BY JURY TODAY.

Rockwell City, Nov. 21.-The jury
in the Brown murder trial returned a
verdict shortly after midnight this
morning, finding the aged John M.
Brown guilty of manslaughter for the
killing of his daughter-in-law, Emma
Brown. The case went to the jury at
nine O'Clock last night, and it is said
reached an agreement some time be-
fore the court was on hand to re-
ceive it.
The feature of yesterdays proceed
ings was the testimony of the aged
defendants wife. She made rather a
pitiful spectacle as she was wheeled
to the jury box in her invalid chair,
and it is difficult to measure its effect
upon the Jurors. She told her story
with as much spirit as was left her az
ter her ordeal of the last few days.
Her narrative was calculated to sup
port the theory of the defense that
Brown killed his daughter-in-law to
protect both his wife and himself from
death.
In her direct testimony she corro-
borated the statements made by her
husband while he was on the stand.
She said she heard Emma coming up
stairs and crawled and pulled herself
into the closet and tried to shut the
door, but Emma ierked the door open
and grabbed her by the arm saying,
Il will stab you to the heart" She
cried Murder, murder, Brown" and
her husband came in She saw him
raise his Indian club but did not see
him strike the dead woman. Emma
turned on the old man, said the wit
ness, and threatening to stab him to
the heart crowded him out of the
room. The next she remembers of
seeing was Emma lying dead in the
doorway. Mrs. Brown testified that
she did not see any knife or other in
strument in Emma's hand. Mrs.
Brown left the stand at 2:30 and the
defense rested.
Ida Calmer was called by the state
and testified that she was with Mrs.
Tenary in the room of Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown and did not see the knife testi-
fed to by Mrs. Tenary.
Mrs. Ida Johnson Burleigh, niece Of
the murdered woman, testified as to
Emma Browns physical condition pre-
vious to her death. Had great diff
Guilty in getting up and down stairs;
was weakly and had frequent sick
spells. Never heard Emma use pro-
fame language told Of by the accused
and his wife.
w. d. Long, undertaken, recalled,
testified he saw no knife in the room
when he, cleaned the blood from the
floor.

DISCRETION LAW is UPHELD
SUPREME COURT SUSTAiNS VA
LIpITY OF STATUTE.
Judge Wright Made Error in Direct
ing Verdict For F. D. OVora-
eek of Story County.

Des Moines, Nov. 22.-The Iowa
wife desertion law was sustained by
the supreme court Saturday in the
case of the state against Frank d.
Dvoracek from Story county.
The law, was attacked by the attor.
neys for DEoUscek on the ground that
it's terms dwere indefinite. The SUI
preme court decided that its terms de-
fined omission to act with as great ac'
curacy as in the nature of things
seems possible.
II is held by the court that the venue
of proceeding under, the wife desertion
act is in the county where the duty OF
providing for wife and children should
be discharged. /
In the Dvoracek case the wife and
three children were in Story county
while the husband prosecuted was in
Fort Dodge. The indictment was re-
turned in Story county. 1t was attack
ed on that ground and the supreme
court finds that it was properly return
ed in Story county as the wife and
children who had been deserted or
whose sustenance was not provided
for by the husband lived there.
Dvoracek and his wife were married
I'm 1896. In July, 1906, he left home
was the allegation in the indictment
The wife desertion law went into eft
fleet July 4, 1907. After that date i
was alleged that the husband did no
provide for his wife and children
Though he was getting 1925 as black
lsmith in Fort Dodge.
On the showing that the HUSBAND
lived in Webster county while the wifi
lived and the indictment was brohgu

destitution in the statute was made
auate and that the offense was nc
definitely defined by the law, Judg

Dubuque, Ia, Nov. 23.-Willard H..
Torbert, recipient of the famous Tor
bert letter from A. B. Cummins, in
which the governor denied he was a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, has buried the Ratchet and has
issued q strong statement urging har-
mony and good will in the republican
party in Iowa. Among other things
he says:
exit discord and strife; enter har-
mony and peace of the olden days for
the republican party in Iowa, in every
camp of republicans everywhere. To
day the republican party OF Iowa mas
membership without affixes or SUI
fixes. There are no Cummins or anti
Cummins republicans; no Lacey or
anti-Lacey republicans; no standpat-
tiers. nor progressives-all simply
standfast republicans. Hereafter the
energies of the republican party VIII
not be devoted to one faction of the
party against another, but all united
in a common purpose to clean up and
tear out the heresies and yagaries o.
the opponents of the republican party,
whether the leader be Bryan or Hearst
or Debs or some undiscovered doctrin-
aire.
Influence of Harmony Conference.
at may not be amiss to emphasize
the causes that have led up to this
beatitude for the republican party IN
Iowa. All republicans will recognize
that the harmony conference in Des
Moines was a potent factor;I also the
converting by Governor Cummins OF
the special session of the legislature
to amend the primary law so that re-
publicans. might signify their prefer
ence for the senatorial candidate
strictly within the republican lines
and whoever should have the majority
of republican votes for senator should
be the candidate of the entire party
for senator. 60. 49, D.. ,
When the governor was deadlock
ed in the special session as the nomi-
nee for senator, all must recognize
the graceful way in which he accept
ed the situation, as they must recog-
nize the wisdom of Major Lacey S
shibboleth. Let no harm come 10 the
republican party.
THE canvass for the Senatorshlp
thus proceeding without any acrimony
or bitterness in discussion was settled
emphatically by an overWheimlnsly
majority for Governor Cummins. /

Dies Moines, Ia, Nov 21.-Gover-
nor Cummins, as one of his last acts
of mercy before resigning his office,
today pardoned John Steele, of Mon

standing.

1T is possible to gauge the indus

this shows the state of the steel and

Is apparent that the spot buying of
coke is very much better than IL has
been for q year, sufficiently improved,
in fact, to warrant an increase. in pro-
duction. 1t is enough better, for de-

10 enlargement and expansion are
