SLAYER Of WOMAN
IS PUT ON TRIAL
State Outlines Case Against
r. B. Brown, Who Killed
Mrs. Annie r. Casner.

Philadelphia, Jan. 2s.-It was q
tragedy of passion that was told by
District Attorney Rotan in the court
of oyer and terminer this morning
when he outlined the charge against
Robert E. Brown for, the killing Of
Mrs. Annie r. Casner. After a jury
had been chosen and the youthful de-
fendant-he is only 23-had pleaded
not guilty through his counsel, Roland
Morris, the story was told.
Brown met Annie Hough at picnic
three years ago. Both were mill work.
ers. They were ardent and thought
less. The young mans wages would
not permit him to marry. but his
financial condition was no bar to the
intimacy of his relations with the
girl. They quarreled and she went
back to her former sweetheart, Geo.
w. Casner, .Tr., and finally married
him. After her marriage Mrs. Casner
realized she loved Brown and not
Casner. and she met Brown secretly.

United Mine Workers Pass Resolu.
tf0n on Recent Decision


Indianapolis. Ind, an. 2S-The
Mttchell-Gompers-M Morrison case, car
rying a Jail sentence imposed upon
union labor leaders for alleged viola
tion of an Injunction. served to in
crease the Importance of the general
question of the injunction in the pro-
ceedings of the miners convention. A
resolution dealing this subject, occu-
pied most of the delegates time today.
The resolution adopted follows:
THE United Mine Workers of
America most emphatically and re-
servedly protest against the sentences
and threatened Imprisonment of Sam
uel Gompers. John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison, officers of the American
Federation of Labor.
THE action of Justice Wright in
these cases can never be accepted with
any degree of justification by the Mine
Workers of America. We maintain
that there was no violation of the law
of the land by our fellow workmen:
and that all their acts complained of
were strictly within the rights as
guaranteed to every citizen of this
country by our constitution and or
ganic law. We hold that the Sherman
antitrust law was never intended by
congress to apply to labor unions. and
the construction placed thereon by
the federal courts is destructive of the
usefulness and only power of organ

Juror in Carmack Case Arrested fol
Perjury on VOir Daia.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 2S.-When
court opened this morning in the case
of Col. Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper
and John Sharpe, charged with the
murder of former Senator E. w. Car
mack, the charges against Jurors
Jackson and Leigh were called. jack
son is accused of being an habitual
drunkard and of having expressed an
opinion. 1t also developed that Juror
Whiteworth, one of the men accepted,
is in delicate health and that his ply
sical condition, as represented by his
physician. is such as to cause the
court grave uneasiness as to his abil-
ity to continue in the box through the
long trial. Under these conditions it
was considered possible that Judge
Hart will excuse him.
Juror Jackson was found unfit for
the jury and was dismissed. The state
objected to Whiteworth's dismissal
and the court ordered a physician
summoned forthwith. Juror Leigh
was arrested on charge of perjury
and bound over to the grand jury. He
gave $1,50O bond.

houn, who Is in the senatorial race,
was to get Judge yGrosscup's place.
AS before, Judge Grosscup denied that
he was about to resign.
The story that became current to-
day said that as soon as the deadlock
of the Illinois legislature on the elec-
tton of a senator was broken Judge
Grosscup would send in his resigna-
tion and that President Roosevelt
would at once announce the appoint
ment of Mr.. Calhoun.
H. H. Kohlsaat, who recently re-
turned from Washington, D. c.. and
was said to know of the contemplatej
changes, when asked concerning the
story, said:
Il do not know that Judge Grosscup
has any intention of resigning, but
do know that Mr.. Calhoun stands high
with the authorities at Washington
and that in case Of vancacy on the
Chicago federal bench he might have
the place If he wanted it, but | do
not know that he would accent such
position If it were offered"
Mr.. Calhoun said:
Il have heard 'rumors for some
time that Judge Grosscup was going
to resign, but whether he has done

formation as to what would be done
IN case he should resign and | have
