TRACING MINING
TRAGEDY Of
Of STATE

About 80 years ago, party of
eager prospectors, lured by stories
told of hidden gold, started out
from somewhere in this part of
Washington to seek their fortunes
in the hills. Weeks and months
passed and finally one of them-a
man named Packard, returned
alone. He told a grewsome story
of howk the prospecting party had
been starving in the distant hills
and how the stronger ones from
day to day were compelled to kill
one of the weaker comrades and eat
their flesh.
Packard is believed to have been
subsequently hanged. Is there any
old Washington pioneer who can
remember the instance and its ap-
proximate date?

Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence to The Press
RICHMOND, Va, April 7.--Wil
liam H. Taylor, M. d., professor of
chemistry and medical jurispru-
dence at the Medical College of
Virginia, philosopher, scientist, lee
turer, author and coroner of the
city of Richmond for so years, star
tied the community by delivering
before his class a lecture on 1.-THE
Deadly Body" in which he denied
many popular beliefs regarding the
human body.
DR.. Taylor said that man might
as well look upon his descent from
the dog or the ass as the ape, add
ing, facetiously, that his audience
might take their choice, with much
satisfaction, when they came to
realize what a horde of scoundrels
their immediate ancestors of
northern and central Europe really
were. The ape, says this septua-
genarian, behaves as well as his
code demands, but the precursors
of the Anglo-Saxon race, despite
the fact that they knew better,
were a set of as arrant knaves as
the world has ever known. 4
Dr. Taylor declared that the hui
man body is not the exalted me-
chanism it is Wanted to be, es-
pecially by pious people. Critical
examination of man, he said,
shows carelessness and bad work
manship from head to foot. Many
machines and mechanisms con-
structed by man are better made
and better attain the objects
sought in their construction. He
took as an example the human eye,

ton has been lavished, and quoted

CASE
HARD NUT To
CRACK

Judge w. A. Huneke has beer
engaged all day looking into the
authorities and merits of the con
tempt proceedings instituted
against Judge Sullivan, P. c. Sulli
van and n. E. Nuzum in connection
with the making public of the sc
crets of the grand jury room.
Judge. Huneke is called upon t.
take stand on a question in which
there is no law bearing directly OF
the point at issue. Whichever
way he rules in the case it will be
setting precedent, declaring the
law in case in which at this time
there is nothing in the statute
books or the decisions of the
courts.
Hence Judge Huneke is de-
liberating the point with great
care, as his decision will have
great weight in the conduct of flu
ture grand jury Investigations.
For the purpose of consulting
the numerous authorities cited,
Judge Huneke has taken the con-
tempt proceedings against Judge
E. H. Sullivan and ~ E. Nuzum
under advisement. In the authori-
ties cited there is only one case
that relates to the punishment of
witness for violating the secrets
of the grand jury room.
Nearly all the citations given re-
lated to the secrecy of the grand
Jury as enjoined upon the members
OF the grand jury and the officers
of the court. The state held that
when a witness was called before
the grand jury he became an inte-
grail part of the official inquiry and
the rule of secrecy was as much
enjoined upon him as any officer of
the court.
Some surprise was created when
Frank Graves of the counsel for
Judge Gordon, appearing for the
men charged with contempt, said
that the lawyers for Gordon had
met after going before the grand
Jury and talked over their testi-
mony given in the grand jury
room. In this way the possibility
of the grand jury tripping up any
of the lawyers for Gordon, some of
whom are said to know all the
facts that the state would like to
get, is eliminated.
p. c. Sullivan was defiant in his
argument and challenged the right
OF the court to call him to time for
interrogating witnesses before the
grand jury as to what they testi-
fled to in regard to his client,
Judge M. J. Gordon He based his
argument on his rights under the
constitution of the United States
and the state of Washington.
Judge E. H. Sullivan, who adj
mits talking with Judge Gordon S
lawyers about his testimony in the
grand jury room, was one of the
men who helped to draft the pres
ent constitution of the state of
Washington in 1889. At the open
ing of the argument on the con-
tempt proceedings, Judge Sullivan
told Judge Huneke that he had Of
fetal duties to look after and was
excused.
