Then, the letter states, the
shade of the dead girl babe the
writer go to Mueller and bid him,
for the salvation of his own soul,
go before the judge and tell his
guilt.
The spirit, now in purgatory, ac-
cording to the writer of the letter,
then said that Mueller had been
planning to kill her for several
weeks before the murder was ac-
tually committed, and spoke of his
conduct toward other girls, whom,
1t said, he had wronged.
The letter referred to many
things supposedly known only to
Mueller and the dead girl.
The murderer was given the let
ter to read at the time it was sent
to him, and after he perused it
said to Warden Price: perhaps
she Is right" From the day he
read the letter Warden Price says
that Mueller was a changed man.
The letter is now in the pos
session of States Attorney Bussey.

Mueller, the man who shot to

from her spirit in the land Of
shades.
Hardy, grim-nerved, defiant
through long months in jail, the
prisoner appeared a cringing shad-
ow of the man He had pleaded
guilty at the bar and the judge
had sentenced him to life in pris-

not quite forsaken him, and his &C
tion amazed his lawyers and the
court.
No Witness Against Him
There was no witness against
him. No one had seen the killing.
But it was learned that, alone In
his cell of nights, he had met an
Saccuser that he could not defy, and
the accuser was spirit In a dream

313, in which it was held that an own
er of land abutting on a street, the
fee being assumed to be in the muni-
cipality could recover for the des-
truction of trees in front OF his lot
caused by the defendant in negligent
ly permitting gas to escape from it's
pipes under the highway. The opin-
ion in that case by a bare majority
of the court is not without force. The
reasoning is that the right of the
abutting owner to maintain trees in
front of his lot is in the same class
as his right to light, air ard access
to and from the street, and that con-
sequently he is entit1ed to recover as
much for an invasion of the one as
of the other. Assuming the facts to
be the same as in the case at bar, we
cannot, however. adopt the conclusions
stated.
while agreeing with counsel for
plaintiff that the planting and main
tanning of trees along highways by
abutting owners is to be encouraged,
especially in this Territory, still that
is a matter that this court cannot take
into consideration in determining the
constitutionality OF the statute in
question.

CUT WORMS
IN RICE
TWENTY ACRE FIELD IN PALAMA
DESTROYED BY INSECT PEST.
GUAVAS AND PEARS ATTACKED.

An unusual amount of damage is
being done in this city during the pre-,
sent season by the cut worm. There
are many plants which are feeling the
effect of this insects attack but rice
is said to be suffering most severely.
This is only natural on account of the
fact that the Orientals, who handle the
entire rice crop here, are extremely
reticent in regard to giving information
to the government officials of the Ex-
pertinent Station, who are trying to
combat the various pests.
