came as great surprise and shock 10
his friends and relatives. He had been

abroad about New Years time, and so
far as his iutlmates knew he was in the

for Europe had any word been received
that would indicate that he was suffer

Professor Agassiz was tho greatest au-

In 1875, Professor Agassiz went to ART

MURDER IN THE THIRD DEGREE"

(From the Wilmington Times)
One Of the most ridiculous travesties
Of it's kind evar noted in a Vermont court
came to light here a few days ago, when
the jury in the Eddy trial returned YER
dict Of murder in the third Degree"
crime which does not legally exist in this
State, and was sent to deliberate again
more intelligently.
After listening to the evidence. the de-
finitions of the law and the lucid argu-
ments of the attorneys on both sides-at
least eight days filled with facts AMI
reasoning-these Il men were unable
alone to appreciate just what the law
consisted of; incapable of distinguishing
between a conviction for murder in the
second degree and one for manslaughter,
until their mistake was corrected,
The law defines clearly the varying de-
yrees of the offence-murder In the first
Iegree. murder in the second degree, or
manslaughter The penalty for the first
named crime Is death; that for the second
aegree murder is life Imprisonment. Then
section o.e9S. chapter rs. states that:
A person who commits granddaughter
shall be imprisoned in the State prison
for life, or for not less than one year.
or fined not more than one thousand dol
lars.
Thus, If Eddy had been found guilty
of murder in the second degree. he would
spend the remainder of his life. unless
pardoned, In the State prison. Being
found guilty of manslaughter, he may be
imprisoned for one year, or 20 free on
payment of a fine not exceeding $1,000
the presiding judge being empowered by
the State to exercise his discretion in re-
gard to the penalty.

CALLS CLAWS
A HANDY TOOL
Counsel for Ballinger Character
ICES Roosevelt Administration
1.-The Reign Of Men,

Washington, March 27.--The Balm
Ser-Pinchot investigation entered
Upon new stage yesterday. The
prosecution" so-called. rested after
he Joint committee had refused to
all Secretary Ballinger as one of It's
witnesses and after Louis Brandeis,
attorney for former Special Agent l..
r. CLAWS, had spoken very bitterly
about that decision.
The opening OF the case for Bal
finger was made by the Tennessee
attorney. j. J. vertrees. who voiced
his opinion OF ex-Forester Clifford
Pinchot. and especially Of Mr. CLAWS
In exceedingly pointed language. He
described Mr. CLAWS as a man who
had acted as detective so long that
he had formed the habit OF denounc-
ing people. He was a handy tool, the
attorney declared, to Mr.. Pinchot who
used him in the campaign of vitupera-
ton and detraction against the sec
rotary OF the interior.
Mr.. Vertrees's statement spaTkled
with epigrams. In one OF these. re-
ferring to the acts of officers Of the
Roosevelt administration. the attor-
ney said: "Then was the reign OF men,
March 4. came the reign of law.
AIMED AT ROOSEVELT.
Although Mr.. vertrees was particular
ly referring to Messrs. Garfield and Pm
thot some memberS OF the committee
were inclined to construe the statement
as a fling at Mr.. Roosevelt and so ex'
pressed themselves.
The growing bitterness between Attor-
i.tys Eertrees and Brandeis manifested
itself in several sharp exchanges.
The demands of Mr.. Brandets, first.
that Mr.. Ballinger appear as witness
to be examined for the prosecution,
and later that he be required to appear
as the first witness for the defense"
caused lively discussions between coun-
sci and among members Of the commit
tee. The first request was unanimously
denied. The second request, made during
the afternoon was considered in execu-
tive session for 40 minutes. at the end OF
which it, likewise. was denied
COMMITTEE BADLY SPLIT
The vote on the second proposition
stood to and was taken to indi-
cate by many how hopelessly the
committee is divided and as presag
Ing in the end a majority and min
ority decision. Representative Madi-
son of Kansas, insurgent republican
voted with the democrats.
Senator Purcell. democrat of North
Dakota, voted with the republicans.
Representative James put the mo-
ton that Mr.. Ballinger be compelled
to take the stand as the first witness
on his side of the case and 1t was or
this that the vote was taken. Senator
Purcell declared that he thought Il
only Just, as lawyer. that the de
fence be allowed the same liberty OF
calling witnesses and arranging the
order OF its testimony as was granted
the prosecution.
Secretary Ballinger probably will
not testify until toward the end o
the proceedings.
