Joe Conroy is one Of the strongest
speakers on the democratic list. He
has the command of language which is
the admiration Of all his hearers. But
Joe does not take campaigning serious
ly. He admits that IT is an effort to
fool part Of the people part Of the time
or until after the election The other
evening he admitted that when he went
to Ainsworth he told farmers there that
it was an outrage that the republican
pure food inspectors made them live
up to the law in every particular while
In some of the northern cities he told
his hearers that their babies were die
ing because the republican pure food
inspectors were not more active. Joe's
republican friends think that is typical
OF the democratic campaign all over the
country.

JURY FREES DETSCH
STORY THAT he THOUGHT FER
Rec A BURGLAR ACCEPTED.
WlFE's NAME PROTECTED
Defendant Denied Police Claim That
He Was Actuated by Her Mis-
conduct with Man He
Killed.

Philadelphia.-Af a trial of three
days Andrew Jackson Detsch. who was
charged with numbering Harry Ferree
in boarding house in this city last
November, was acquitted late Friday
afternoon.
The jury was out nearly three hours.
The announcement of the verdict
caused an enthusiastic demonstration
In the courtroom. The killing of Fer
rec was sensational and. owing TO the
peculiar circumstances. the case Gre
ated great interest. Detsch claimed
he killed Ferree in mistake for a
burglar and the jury took this view
of the case.
Detsch. who is 2S years OF age. lived
with his young wife and child In an
uptown boarding house. On the night
of November policemen heard shots
and traced them TO the house. They
forced an entrance and on the third
floor hallway. in front OF the door OF
the Detsch apartments. they found
Ferree dead with three bullets In the
body. lie was in his stocking feet
Ferree was about 80 years of age
and had occupied a room ON the sec
ond floor. Detsch told the policemen
that he heard some one trying 10 get
In the room and. thinking Il was n
burglar. shot four times through the
door.
The police were inclined TO accept
this explanation, but in searching the
effects OF Ferree they found many let
tiers that had passed between Fcrree
and Mrs Detsch and n number OF sug-
gestive photographs. The police then
charged Detsch with having delib-
erately killed Ferree. They contended
that Detsch learned OF alleged mis-
conduct between his wife and Ferree
that Detsch caused hts wife TO lure
r'erree to her room, and that Detsch
ared the shots when he heard Ferree
place his hand on the door knob.
Detsch maintained during the trial
that he did not know that the man
outside the door was Ferree and that
he thought he was shooting at a
burglar.
He fatty denied that at the time he
suspected his wifes chastity. and re
fused the opportunity TO plead the
"unwritten law" preferring TO pro
tect his wife's reputation at the risk
