MURDER CASE
UP TO JURY
FINAL ARGUMENTS IN CASE
AGAINST Q. +. NEWCOMB,
SLAYER OF MARTIN KVAL-
SHAUG, CLOSED THIS Az
TERNOON-QUBCK VERDICT
EXPECTED,

Following the completion of
the argument OF Prosecutor Ne
Murray shortly before 3 o'clock
this afternoon, Judge Chapman
gave his final instructions to the
jury and the fate OF Charles F.
Newcomb, self-confessed SLAYER Of
Martin Kvalshaug, now rests with
the twelve men.
The attorneys on both sides ex
pect the jury to return a verdict
after a short deliberation.
Judge McMurray wound up the
trial with an eloquent appeal to
the Jury. He denounced the in
sanity plea as trumped up and
manufactured.
Plea For Innocent Children.
I'm order that all the rest of
the innocent children in this
state may be saved from a similar
fate as that OF those poor little
ones of Martin Kvalshaug, l ask
that this defendant be given his
just deserts.

ence that is in store for those
poor, innocent little babies. for

Attorney A. A. Howell address,
ed the jury this morning, making
the final plea for the defendant.
He asked that they bring in some
kind of verdict and not to dis
agree under any circumstances be-
cause Newcomb's father could not
stand another ordeal like the ono
he has gone through.

said. 1--WE ask that he be de.

nor does his poor old father, but

Strain Tells on Newcomb.
The strain of his trial is at last
taking effect on Newcomb. He
shifts about in his chair continu-
ally and during the arguments
this morning was noticed to smile
slightly and thump ON the table
with his knuckles. His face Is
heavily lined and much more pale
than usual.
While Attorneys Howell and
McMurray were making their fina,
arguments for and against the
defendant, respectively, New

Not
a Candidate

Henry A. Rhodes. one of the
trainers of the new charter, who 1t
has been reported would likely
be a candidate for mayor under
the new government, declares
there is no ground for such re-
port, and that he will not be a
candidate under any circum-
stances.
Mr.. Rhodes says he has often
asserted that he would not be
candidate for any place under the
new charter, and he insists that he
means exactly what he says.

When the wizard" died, peo.
pie who are big in the railroad

were made that Hawley might b.

squelched.
Then, the other day, the coun-

Hawley had gotten control of the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas, the
katy" railroad, right from un
der the noses of the men who
thought they owned it.
This road, one of the most de-
sirable properties in the south
west, provided Hawley at once
with an outlet for his other roads
to the Gulf of Mexico, and gave
him the great and rich soutL west
to draw on for freight to the
north and east.
Hawley is known to his friends
as the bachelor of Broad street."
His office, high up in the Broad
Exchange building. has been q
center of speculation and finan-
cial strife in the past. Hawley
himself, lacking sentiment, can
see farther In business than airy

But they were sadly disap-

The good old days are gone when
Easter eggs were tied up in bits of cheap
calico and dropped into boiling water
for transference of the calico pattern
to- the eggshell. Young folks of today
scorn such homely devices. In fact. eggs
intended merely to look at are a back
number-even the wondrous Kaleidoscope
affairs made of candied sugar which once
entranced our youthful eyes are not ac-
ceptcd with enthusiasm by the young
sters of today. Twentiethcentury eggs
must hold something worth while. and all
the new Easter eggs are arranged to
open like boxes. OF course, the most ac-
ceptable Easter egg will contain a So
gold piece: but the average small boy
and even an eggful OF candies will not be
despised. Easter eggs for little girls con-
