chase Of the Sioux Falls, 3. D., pack
ing plant, John Morrell & Co., limited,
of this city, have made a running broad
jump and landed square in the packing
field Of the West. Thomas ID. Foster,
president of the Ottumwa concern, and
John Fl. Morrell, manager, returned this
afternoon from Sioux Falls and verb
fled the reports of the purchase, which
had preceded them to Ottumwa.
The deAl Is the contamination Of D
material expansion that has been con
templated for some time by the Ottum-
wa plant, although the most absolute
secrecy has attended the various stages
OF the deal until the transaction was
actually closed. The Sioux Falls con-
Germ has been closed for some time ow-
ing to extensive litigation, and the new
proprietors assert that operation in the
new field will probably be commenced
by July /. The Morrell plant secures
the entire holdings of the big Sioux
Falls plant and in addition negotiations
are nov pending for the purchase OF
30 acres of additional property adjacent
to the packing house.
The head offices of John Morrell 81
Co, limited, will still be in Ottumwa,
the new purchase representing an ex-
pansion OF business and territory.

SOLVES MURDER OF
HIS TWIN BROTHER

zacaecas, Mexico, May 19.-Rendered
insane by the appearance of the twin
brother of his victim, whom he be-
lieved was the ghost Of the man he
had murdered, Antonio Aguillar fell to
his knees pleading for mercy and
babbled the story of his crime. Until
that moment the murder Of Eustacia
Gillar had been yelled in mystery.
E~ustacia's win brother, Juan, who
had been absent from home for years,
returned to the city yesterday and &C.
cidentally met his uncle, Antonio. The
latter did not know of the return of
Juan and when he saw him on the
street his resemblance to the murdered
man was so striking that he thought
that the spirit OF the nephew he had
killed had returned to haunt him.
Frustrating himself, he begged to be
killed. He was taken into custody and
is believed to be hopelessly insane.

In regard to Jurisdiction.
Hains lie Dazed.
The court clerk then instructed Cap
tain Hams to come to the bar and pro-
ceeded to ask him the questions usually
to be put to a ia about to be SEN
fenced. The prisoner seemed dazed
and seemed to have some difficulty In
understanding h questions. Lawyers
Mcintyre and Young, of the defense,
stood on either side of Captain Hams,
and assisted him in answering the
questions of the court clerk. W
In passing sentence Judge Garretson
said the defendant had a fair trial and
had been defended by experienced law
yers. A jury had found a verdict COM
mensurate with the requirements of
the law He sah he was not aware
that any errors of law had been com
mitted during the trial. Although there
had been a great deal Of sympathy in.
jected into the case. the law did not
allow a man to punish another for,
wrong he had suffered, nor to wreak
vengeance upon the man who had
wronged him,
After Judge Garerstson had imposed
the sentence, Captain Hams sat down
and dropped his head on the table be-
fore him. He seemed overcome with
emotion for a few moments, but soon
recovered himself and sat upright star

Judge Passes Sentence.
In passing sentence Justice Garrett
son said: ~t
That any person may assume to be
judge and executioner for a real or
fancied wrong done to him by another,
society cannot approve, and the law
does not sanction. Such a doctrine Is
abhorent to all right thinking men and
the practice of 1t Is subversive Of mod

claim to q right to mete out personal
Further comment Is needless.
The result Of his trial is it's own

The operation of an indeterminate
sentence such as that imposed upon
Captain Hams Is so fixed by law that

leased on some legal point raised by
his counsel, the prisoner must serve the
full length of the minimum term
named. which is eight years in the case
