HELD FOR MURDER.
Coroner's Jury Finds Boy Was Killed
for Life Insurance.

The coroner's jury investigating the
death of David Marshall, colored boy
who, it is charged, was poisoned for
insurance by Matte Troy, today re-
turned the following verdict:
The jurors found that David Marshall
came to his death by arsenic poison adj
ninistered by Matte, alias Mary Troy,
with murder intent, claiming that said
David Marshall was Willard Troy. her
stepson who has since been found to DE
living. The jury recommended that
Matte, alias Mary Troy, be held to trial
on the charge of murder in the first de-
gree.
The verdict is signed by Homer c.
Bowman, ]. Q. A. Peyton, G. w. Miller
G. A. Bigbee, D. NJ. Mitchell, Jerry
Reynolds.
The evidence already sufficient to
hold the negress on a murder charge
was made iron clad by the finding Of
arsenic poison in the stomach of the
dead boy by DR.. F. B. Dams, chemist
of Washburn college, to which effect
he testified today.
Mrs. S. c. Marshall of 1927 West
Twenty-sixth street, Kansas City, KaS-
grandmother of the Marshall boy, was
present at the inquest today together
with James Bailey, an uncle, and his
wife, Eva Bailey, who identified the
body at the Stonestreet & Hamilton un-
dertaking room after it had been ex-
humed a fortnight ago.
James and Eva Bailey, On the wit
ness stand, testified to the Troy woman
enticing the Marshall boy away and
later returning to tell them that he
had been left on farm near Chicago.
David Marshall was an orphan and
lived part of the time with his, grand
mother and part of the time with the
Baiieys at South Fifth street, Argen-
tine. He was in the last year of his
high school course even though he was
but 10 years of age. His relatives say
he was exceptionally bright. "It was
an easy matter for Matte Troy to en-
t1ce him away from u.s. said the
grandmother, by offering him a high
er education and all the clothes and
money he wanted His fate at the
hands Of his abductor was murder at
the Washam hotel in Topeka Novem-
Der and burial as Willard Troy that
she might collect $3.50 insurance from
the Metrol olftan Life Insurance COM
pany for which she was first arrested.
The grandmother exhibited an fnsur-
ance policy in the Metropolitan on
David Marshall, the lad who was
buried, for $145 which was taken out
when he was seven years of age This
is payable to her and the cornpany's
agent has said 1t would be paid.

DEFENDS TARIFF LAW.
BouteIle Predicts 1t Will Be Justified
by Results.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Admitting
that the Payne tariff law would have
to be justified by the results of its
practical operation Representative
Boutelle, ILL.,, a member of the COM
mittee, which framed the measure.
made a vigorous defense of the new
law in the house today.
President Taft had been criticized,
he said, because he had declared the
Payne act was the best tariff law ever
passed by congress, but, he added,
the result would justify that state
ment.
THE common sense and sagacity of
President Taft will be recognized by
his reelection in 1872 continued
Mr.. Boutelle. 1T has been said the
act gives preference to certain indi-
viduals and is the cause of the pres
ent high prices. 1t has been claimed
the tariff act has not brought prosper
ity and that it will retard prosperity"
When the Democrats applauded
these statements and laughed in de-
rision, Mr.. Boutelle sharply rebuked
them.

Democrats always applaud any tale

1.-THE Annual" Is Distributed
Among Students.

This is day that will long be re-
membered by the outgoing class of the
Topeka high school The morning was
given over to the mighty seniors"
who will receive their diplomas on Fri
day evening. The assembly room was
packed to overlooking with the students
of the school and parents of and
friends of the participants in the pro-
gram.
The students were bubbling over with
enthusiasm over the occasion and the
class yells filed the air with merry

that it lacked the dryness of the av-
GRACE high school attempt of his kind
In fact the attention of the audience
was held from beginning to Ind.
The feature Of the program which
made the greatest hit was a farce en-
titled, A Crane Street Night School"
and this kept the onlookers in a con-
tinual state of laughter. A play had
been planned which depicted a scene
at a railway station and necessitated
q cast of about Is persons-both boys
and girls-but it was found that it
would be impossi ble to get as large a
cast together for rehearsal and it was
decided to turn the entertainment over
to the boys. There was only a week
in which to prepare for the entertain
Inent but the result might have led one
10 believe that the participants had
been drilling for weeks.
The InaKeups were good, and each
member of the cast had the brogue of
the particular nation which he repre-
scented down to fine point. The cast

No. unless some other arrangements
are made. This is according to an an
nouncement made by Fred o. Morns'
president of the club, wednesday aft
ernoon. A bigger and better organiza-
ton will probably be formed. This
will be due to the efforts of Mr.. Morns
and others who have been making a
canvass of the old members and out
siders to learn the sentiment in the
matter
One of the first propositions to be
considered after the club is on work
ing basis will be the steps to secure
the Union Pacific shops at Argentlne
for Topeka, when they are moved.
The matter of the Shorey street ran

Something may be done toward re-
locating the fair grounds in the Vicln-
ity of the North side if such thing
is possible. The holding of a street
fair on the North side and securing
carnival company for an attraction, as
has been done, will also likely be taken
up.
Naturally, at the first meeting steps
will be taken for more permanent
and better organization than has ever
been effected before. To insure this,
rooms especially for the club should
be secured and this matter will be
taken UP. While the offer of the
Beaver lodge rooms for this purpose,
made by Otto Kuehne, the president, is
much appreciated by Mr.. Morns and
others it is not known whether it will
be accepted or not.
c. NJ. Morrow, the secretary of the
club, has been instructed to mail cards
to all the former members of the
club. announcing the time and place
of the meeting.
The announcement made by Mr..
Morns is causing great interest on the
part of the business men on the North
side and a large attendance at the
meeting is expected.
Mr.. Morns said this morning:
Lack of proper place to meet has
probably been chief among the causes
that the club has died down. While
we appreciated the use of the fire sta
ton, we did not feel that it was the
clubs home. However, this time
every effort will be made to secure our
own headquarters and we will organize
the club for keeps"
