ship.
Gardner was here with the Repub-
liean spellbinders, and was asked what
he thought of the attitt,le of Wood

''Cannonism is dead. What is the use
of ~distiguring the corpse? Everything
should be at an end after interment.'

ing to his own admission, that there
wasn't any necessity for those In the
lower house who had heretofore sup
ported Cannon to come out at this late
hour and denounce him when his
bones are dried"

Howell said at Lakewood:
Il am unalterably opposed to the
election of Speaker Cannon. l have no

their Wishes

ITO obtain Legislative results and in
the interest of party harmony, 1 be-
lieve that Mr.. Cannon, il he should be
a candidate. should not be elected

DO it without letting the v-orkingsbalance

Indictments Attacked.

Some time was spent IN attacking the
form of the Indictment. it being argued
that its charges were not specific enough
for criminal prosecution. Attention, also,
was given to the argument that con-
spiracy. as referred to in the Sherman anti
trust law, was not continuing offence, y
existing without overt acts, in furtherance
thereon. and which could be ended only by
the accomplishment Of the object or the
affirmative withdrawal OF the COnspira-
tors, as Mr.. Bowers claimed in his brief
He said that it was non-continuous Of
fence. which was renewed when an overt
act was committed hereunder, and as none
such had been committed within three
wears of the time of the indictment
Kissel and Harmed should not be prose-
cuted.
Mr.. Guthrie said it was a principle oi
criminal law that the act and the criminal
intent must occur. The theory of the gov
ernment. in this case. he contended' was
that mon were liable criminally for past
intentions of ten or fifty years ago.
