place where he had been first shot.
The dragging of the wounded man, or
dead, had been witnessed by Il. b Hob
stad. who had heard the shooting but
did not see it. He arrived at a point
of vantage from which he might have
witnessed thy tragedy five minutes be-
fore, but he got there in time to see
a man whom he identified as Fondren
dragging Daggs by the heels. Hohstad
was about 900 yards away
When the dead man was found his
coat was punched up under his Shout
der. and there was a bloody trail back
to the place where he had been shot
In a clump of bushes near by was
found a blood stained memorandum
and a bloody pencil. In the book were
found the words, Bob Stewart shot
me"
The circumstances showed that
Daggs had fallen at the first fdsilade
and that he must then have been NOR
tally wounded. He was left alone by
the murderers for a few minutes while
they pursued Ditmore, who was evil
IDENTIFY trying to escape. though his jaw
had been shot away by a charge of
buckshOt.
The pursuit gave Daggs time to do
what not one man in a million would
have thought of. He took out the
memorandum book and inscribed the
damning sentence then threw the book
and pencil where they would not likely
be found by the murderers in their
hurry. but would almost certainly be
found in such closer inspection of the
ground as would be made by the au-
thOrities Daggs must have been shot
again on the return of the murderers
for one bullet pierced his heart.
The most strenuous objection was
made to the Introduction of this book
as a dying declaration. 1t was con-
tended that ii had not been shown that
Daggs was in articulo mortis when he
made that inscription, and it was fur
there contended that it had not been
shown that he had any religious belief
such as the common law contemplate
the maker of a dying declaration must
have. The objection was overruled by
Judge Kent.
The testimony regarding the admis
sion by Stewart of the murder was
offered by Deputy Sheriff Roy Troxell.
who arrested him at Florence. The
deputy sheriff said he found him in
saloon. He had been drinking, but was
not helplessly drunk. The officer said
that he did not begin the conversation
leading to the admission. but that
Stewart said. Il killed Jack Daggs and
am damned proud of it" Then after
a period of a minute he said. 4 seen

Stewart was so drunk as TO be unable
to understand what he was saying;
that he was in a condition in which
any vagary might seem To him TO be
q fact. The prosecution fell back upon
the old truism, in vino veritas. and
contended that Stewart was only drunk
enough to be recklessly truthful.
The jury compromised on a verdict
of murder in the second degree. and
the court sentenced Stewart to twenty
five years in the territorial prison
The papers in appeal We're prepared
by Attorney p. H. Hayes, who had
been appointed to the defense.

Special from United Press.)


 Durant, Miss, Nov. 2.-At o'clock today President Taft's train pulled out of Durant where it had been since 2 fin the morning. and rolled away to- wards West Point. The stop at West Point will be a short one and the first real stop of the day will be made at Columbus. Miss, where the President is due to arrive at 1I:25. An elabor- ate program has been arranged for his entertainment there.
 The schedule for today calls for a stop of three hours at Columbus and then the President will return to his car for the remainder of the day. He will arrive at Birmingham at 7:45 to- night.
 At Jackson. Miss, where he was en- tertained at a banquet at which wine was served, after a hard fight on the part of the Prohibitionists to make 1t cold water affair. they are fighting the whole matter over today and all because the President left his wine un- tasted.
 Politicians are wondering what pass ed between President Taft and former Governor Vardeman during their in- terview yesterday. Vardeman had been making uncomplimentary re- marks about Mir. Taft ever since he was elected and had frequently re- ferred to him as "a fat and slow-mind- ed person. The meeting between the two did not continue more than four or five minutes and it was said it was cordial.

Habit From the Dungeon.

Convicts who were forced to drag about a ball and chain at the galleys could often be detected when released by their habit of trailing one foot after the other. John Boyle O'Reilly, condemned to convict life in Australia for his Fenian sympathies, had also in after years a habit which told a like sad story. One who knows him said:
 When walking abstractedly and me chanically he always went a short dis tance and then retraced his steps. no matter how wide a stretch he had be- fore him. It was always three paces forward, turn and three paces back, exactly like the restless turning of a lion in cage. One day I asked him. Boyle. what was the length of your cell when you were in prison-how many pacesT'
 Three" he said. 'fwhy do you ask ?'
 Because when you are absentmind- ed you always walk three paces for ward and then retrace your steps"

CHIEF JUSTICE
 DEFENDS RIGHTS

New York. Nov. 2.-Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, walked to the polling place at Broadway and 52nd street today. to cast His vote in the municipal cleo tions. On his return to the Hotel Vic toria where he is stopping with his wife and daughters, he saw on a bull letin board the announcement that the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Dis trict of Columbia had affirmed the sen- tence imposed upon him by Justice Wright of Washington
 At the Victoria. Gompers said In re- ply to a series of questions: with all due respect to the majority of the court I cannot surrender constitu- rionally guaranteed rights because a judge will issue an injunction Invad- Justice Shepard's dissenting opinion is in defense of the constitution and these inherent rights. Minority opin- ions of a court in the past, when hu- man rights were invaded, have ulti- nletely prevailed, become the law of the land and generally the rule of life and have had an abiding faith that the rule in this case will prove the exception.
 'Tf must go to jail I shall have CT men have in the past been com Tclled to suffer in the defense of jus tice and right and in the cause of hu- manity and for the maintenance of human liberty.
 E "I intended to stay over here to- morrow to finish up my report for the annual convention at Toronto and also to attend the wedding of the daugh- ter of a very dear friend of mine, but I am going to change my plans so that I can get into Washington as soon as can want to be within the juris- diction of the court whatever disposi- ton is made"
 Gompers will leave New York to- night at o'clock for Washington.

Heavy Weather Point to
 Democratic Success

(Continued From First Page9
 In the big Republican stronghold, the Fifth district the Republican party leaders were lamenting the fact that out of a total of 1.1s3 there was cast over 66 per cent of the vote and only S40 would have to be cast to bring out the usual vote AL bert F. Veness Democratic candidate for alderman Is running well and his chances of cutting down the usual big Republican majority looks good
 In the Sixth district till 2:15. ss7 votes had been cast on registration of 1724.
 In the Seventh district ss7 out of ,15O possible votes had been cast
 The estimated Democratic plurality in this district was POO.
 In the Eighth district 500 votes had been cast in a registration of 1927. The Democratic majority at that hour was estimated at 50 on the complexion Of the tally sheets The voting appeared to be unusually straight. Practically to be found at the polls. In the Seventh at 2 o'clock. 912 votes were cast out of 1. 400 on the list The workers were keeping such close tabs was claimed that Buckingham was 112 ahead of Lee at this hour despite the fact that Mulyihilps majority was cut down to GA here two years ago. How
 
 not known Donnelly and Thomas seem to be running unusually well in this district Although Peter Detrich. the Republican candidate for alder man is making a good fight there is no doubt that James J. Conlin, the Demo cratic nominee will win by a hand some majority.
 There was more betting today than ever before but the odds were two and three to one with the odds Against Lee. No large bets were made but there were many small bets.
 The indications are that East Bridge port will give Buckingham a rousing majority and 1t would not be a sur prise if the standard bearer of Demo- cracy came across the river with a majority of 1.2o0.
 The greatest surprise Of the day is the activity of the friends Of Bucling- ham at the polls. The Democratic workers declared this noon that there was never a day in the history of the local politics when there was less harmony in the Republican party.

 The suit was brought in Duchess county because the Astors have their country residence there. The Ninth Judicial district, in which Justice Mills holds court. takes in Duchess county. and for that reason he had jurisdiction to sign the order appointing the referee in any part of the district.
 Justice Mills said yesterday morning that the referee had not yet made a report to him.

 Fall River, Mass, Nov. 2.-An ap- parently we'll founded rumor in circu- lation today credits the American Printing Company located here but owned by M. c. D. Borden of New York. as having taken over the i'm mense plant of the Gamers.

Y., with 24 machines, including also the cloth mills connected with the Duchess Print Works. It has been said for several months that the Gar ner property has been sold to a sym dicate but 1t is generally believed the rumor of tha report now in circulation may have been caused by the arrival in New York of the two daughters of the late William A. Garner, the form CT owner of the property. and his heirs. who have never made 1t a prac- tice of visiting here and 1t is thought their appearance in the city had to do with the sale of the property.

Cold Water Currents Flowing Along
 the Deep Sea Bottom.
 The bottom currents of seas and oceans. such as those which possibly bring amber to our shores. are strange ly disposed. The seiSneur of Sark some fifty years ago was shfpwrecked in his yacht near the island of Guernsey. He lost, among other things. a well fas- tened, strongly made chest containing silver plate. It was found a year later in deep water of the coast Of Norway and restored to him.
 In the really deep sea over a thou sand fathoms down there are well marked broad currents which may be described as rivers of very cold water (only 4 degrees or so above freezing point. They flow along the deep sea bottom and are sharply marked of from the warmer waters above and to the side. Their inhabitants are differ ent from those of the warmer water. They are due to the melting of the polar ice. the cold water so formed sinking at once owing to its greater density below the warmer water of the surface currents.
 These deep currents originate in both the arctic and antarctic regions.-Sir Ray Lankester in London Telegraph.

CITY MUST RAISE STATE TAX SOON

The City of Bridgeport has to raise SAC to meet state tax according to bill passed during the last hours of the last legislature. City Auditor Heating called the attention of the Board of Aldermen to the matter at their meeting last evening stating that the tax must be met by the 10th of this month On motion the matter was re- ferred to the Finance Committee. As no provision has been made by the Board of Apportionment to meet the tax 1t begins to look as If the city will have to stand the state off till after April l, 1910. when the general tax will be raised. The next Board of .Apportionment will then have to levy a tax rate for two state taxes 1909 and 1910 which will be equal to about one mill.

SLEEP MYSTERIES
 STILL UNSOLVED
Cause of Freakish Stunts
 Cannot Be Fathomed

Vienna, Nov. 2.-The Academy of Medicine has collected for some time past reports dealing with things peo- pie do in their sleep wisl a view of solving if possible the mysteries of the following:
 A locomotive engineer guiding his engine while fast asleep.
 Soldiers falling asleep while march ing.
 Bicyclist continuing to pedal for a considerable distance after falling asleep.
 Oaien. the famous physician. walk ing a distance of nearly 700 feet in his sleep and awakening only when he stubbed his toe against a stone.
 A lawyer writing plea of defense in his sleep and filing it away among his papers. He remembered the next morning that he had written the plea. but he didn't know where he had pigeonholed the manuscripts.
 A Hungarian count saddlinE his horse in his sleep and riding a couple of miles before he was overtaken by a groom sent after him. He was fast asleep when found on the road, the horse nibbling at the grass growing by the wayside-
 A student of chemistry at the Vienna university who made most difficult translations from Italian and French scientific books. sometimes consulted the dictionary while fast asleep.
 After considering the above phe- nomena. the academp is obliged to say that the problem of sleep Is as nlys- terious as ever. nothing absolutely cer- tain having been ascertained save the fact that the brain Is almost devoid of blood during the period of sleep.
 The academy had under observation a patient who lost part of his skull by shot. Through this hole it was seen that the brain lost color and contract aln Nha xr-pl Q up the brain cells were again flooded with blood to such an extent that the brain crowded against the hole in the skull.

 handed down its decision. Whatever this may be, 1t must ultimately lead to a victory for Labor and a victory for Labor will mean a victory for all the people. Should the court sustain the decision by Justice Wright. 1t will simply mean that an appeal must be taken to the highest court in the land to obtain a single determining word as to the justification of existing consti- tutional guarantees. Even should the highest judicial tribunal of our coun- try fail to maintain the right of free speech and free press. there is still a higher court, the court of the public opinion the conscience of the peo- pie. In the event of the refusal to sustain Labors appeal it will beyond doubt inauguarte a movement for the re-establishment of the right secured by the Magma Charta and embodied as the first amendment to the constitu- ton of the United States and the best constitutional guarantee of every state in the union."
