nicely done, | know you will gladly
send me another copy. He was de-
lighted to get such n clear and clean

While our friend was about it We
wish he had also given the President
the article printed on thefourth page
of the same paper "eaded TAFT s
Vaudeville Show" ha, ing to do with
the Eastern District iudgeship. in
which the Washington correspondent
of the Richmond Iimes-Dispatch
speaks of the matter as having de-
generated into q regular vaudeville
performance. in which there appear
ring-masters, hOrse-traders and pO-
lies, describing Messrs. Wickersham
and Taft as being the shOwmen, the
friends of the candidates the Jockeys
and the applicants the horses. We
think the President would have en-.
joyed the humor of this even if he
could not feel delighted at the sorry
spectacle that has been made of the
whole affair

Connor or District Attorney
Skinner-President Getting
Very Tired of Scramble.
Writing about the Eastern District
Judgeship Thomas J. Pence in his
Washington correspondence to the
News and Observer of yesterday says
this:
Judge II. &. Connor, of the State
Supreme Court, or District Attorney
Harry Skinner will succeed the late
Thomas K. Purnell as District Judge
in Eastern Carolina. That was the
authoritative word that came from
the White House today, and it rep
resents the attitude of Mr.. TAFT at
this time.
For two months the President has
had the politicians OF the State guess
ing as to what he would do in filling
this Federal judicial vacancy, and
today for the first time he made
known the fact that he has eliml-
mated all the twenty-odd candidates
save two and is about ready to an
nounce disappointment. Judge Con
nor is Mr.. Taft's first choice and will
get the appointment unless the Re
publican leaders who are opposing
his nomination succeed in knocking
him out.
The fact that Judge Connor is the
Presidents choice among the Demo-
cratic candidates is no news. the fact
having been published in this cores
pondence two weeks ago. But the
fact that Harry Skinner is the Presl-
dents selection among the Republl-
cans comes as something of Il sur
prise. Mr. Taft has remarked hall
dozen times that no would not ap-
point to the Federal bench any man
who had been IL Populist, and this
situation. it had been thought, elimi-
mated Skinner. Again, it was thought
that Duncan's opposition would keep
the District Attorney out of the
running, but according to a man who
is close to Mr. Taft he is not going to
be Influenced by any of the bosses in
making the appointment. In fact,
the President is quoted az saving
that he did not care about this kind
of approval
Yesterday r. 7. Hicks and Iredell
Meares were looked upon rs the most
available of the Republican candi-
dates. but today's authentic infor.
nation from the White House puts
them way back in the race on HI
equality with the other starters.
1t is felt certain now that in ap
pointment will be made this week
The President il tired of the scramble
The Starsad this afternoon that the
North Carolina iudgeship is a regular
nightmare to the President every
time it is mentioned.
National Committeeman Duncan
went TO New York last night. and was
not on the scene today. That Mr.
Duncan will not take kindly to the
suggestion OF Skinner'- appointment
goes without saying.
He would much prefer the appoint
ment Of Judge Conner.
But the fact that the President has
picked Skinner as the best OF the Re
publican material for the iuhgeshiI
shows that he is paying precious
little attention to the Republican
bosses.
Skinner has made his fight for the
iudgeship independent OF every Re
publican leader in the State. HI
couldn't get IL Republican of any
prominence in the Stat" to back hi'
candidacy, and had to rely OIL his
own efforts in furthering his cause.

DAMAGING EVIDENCE
. IN KALEIKINI CASE
Or. sinclair Says Man
. Is Not a Post
EpiIeptiC

The defense in the Kaleikini MUIR
der case was given hard blow this
morning when DR.. Sinclair In his re-
ply to a lengthy hypothetical ques-
ton asked by County Attorney Cath
cart stated conclusively that Kalei-
KIM is not a post-epileptic and that
the wife-slayer knew what he was
about when he fired the fatal shot.
The hypothetical question took an
hour to PROFOUND and covered all the
life-history Of the prisoner and also
OF his mother. DR.. Sinclair had been
called as a witness by the prosecution
in rebuttal to answer this question.
The Doctor said that an epileptic
az he advanced In years became con-
stantly more irescible and violent I'M
til at least he reached the stage of
post-epilepsy, when he was liable to
commit acts OF revolving nature. He
is inclined to be violent and danger
Gus and when in one of his spells his
tendencies are always murderous. He
wants to kill anybody and everybody
and does not discriminate as 10 the
victims Of his mania.
In this case" said the Doctor
where he reached over the shoulder
OF one girl to shoot his wife, 1t was
not the act of post-epileptic. If he
had been IA post-epileptic, he would
have shot the first girl as the nearest
one to him and then have killed hi
wife.
Also, the fact that he stayed b!
the body and felt OF the hands show
ed that he was not a post-eplieptic
He knew what he was about, Also
he had some memory OF the deed
which a post-epileptic would not hay
had" n
