HISTORY OF TIE NOAH CASE
On April srd. 1908, Robert s.
!. Noah was informed against in
che dist1iet court cf Ward
county. for murder in the FIRST
degree.
. On April 18th he plead guilty
and the court submitted the
case to a jury to determine
what the penalty should be,
death or imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life.
The jury returned q verdict
declaring the death penalty
should be inflicted and Noah
was accordingly. sentenced to
be hung on Oct. 2Srd, 1908.
On the 23rd day OF October,
about an hour before the time
set for execution Noah's at
torneys appealed to the
supreme court for the purpose
of delaying the execution, but
with no thought that the ap.
peal could be made effectual
for any other purpose.
After the appeal was taken
nothing was done to perfect it
and the record was not sent to
the supreme court. go -.
80 While in Bismarck on the
legislative investigation of the
penitentiary in Feb. 1909. MIR.
Divet had occasion to inter.
view Noah in regard to certain
charges of cruelty to prisoners
made against some of the Of
icials.
j. Noah told Divet of his case
and: asked him to take, It. II. d up
and endeavor to save him from
Ebeihge hung.:.;':liAfit ::stftat time
Noah represented to Divet that
he had friends aud. relatives
who would raise funds to- pay
k'rsthe PROSECUTION of his Case Il
and :Divet fiaally:a9reed.to.loo
into the record and.see What
could be done for him: :' ~ .:::.
= At this: time the .:appeal.was
in: danger of~being Dismissed
because the record q 81 the case;
had never. .:bee,4,. .senta.so. :.the
supreme. court and a'Divet itin
mediately set about examining
the proceedings and getting
the record completed. = -
Upon examining the pro-
ceedings Divet came to the
conclusion that the plea as. en-
tered was illegal and that no
right existed to sentance the
defendant, aud that the court
committed prejudicial error in
instructing the jury that in.
flicted the penalty.
Shortly after this Noah adj
vised Divet that his friends
would not furnish the money
that had been promised and
told him he might cease his eff
forts in his behalf. Divet re.
piled that lawyers like doctors
never refused their assistance
once they had entered upon a
case whether they could re-
ceiye any pay or not and that
he would continue and present
the case to the supreme court:
About a month later Noah
was seized with the delusion
that his attorney was conspir
ing with the attorney general
tof the state to have him hung
and he ordered Divet to drop
his case. He also wrote a mum
Der of abusive letters to Divet
and to the judges of the SUI
preme court claiming that
Divet as his lawyer was selling
him out and working against
him. Divet believed that he
was not mentally responsible

Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
| Municipal ownership and government
control of private affairs, sometimes
called paternalism, is carried to a greater
degree in Vienna than in any other place
! in the world
| The city officials regulate the conduct
| of the citizens from the cradle to the
grave.
They fix the prices at which certain
commodities are sold. They determine
what wages shall be paid to certain
| classes Of mechanics and laborers.
They set the time when a man shall
be in his apartments at night. They ap-
| point representatives Of the public to
serve on boards of directors Of corpora.
| tions.
No one can open boarding house
| without the permission of the police, who
| decide the prices that may be charged
| the patrons. No one can rent a room
| or suite of rooms in an apartment house
until it has been inspected by an official
;. of the building department
All transactions are subject to the
supervision of the state. There does
not seem to be much complaint or dis
| satisfaction.
Municipal Industries.
The municipal government of Vienna is
also engaged in many business under.
| takings, both commercial and Industrial
in which it comes directly into competi-
tion with private individuals and cor
porations for the benefit Of the public. In
that. way it is able to keep down prices
and prevent monopolies.
| That is the theory upon which the sys-
| tenn is based. But there is difference
| of opinion as to its practical success.
For example. the city ofiicials regu-
| late the wages that are paid for the man.
ufacture of ready made clothing. shirts,
gowns, underwear. shoes and other ar
| ticles Of apparel. Dealers in such goods
are prohibited from doing custom work
or repairing.
A merchant who deals in ready-made
garments is not permitted to make them
to measure. A tailor who makes goods
to order is not permitted to sell them
ready-made. The same rule applies to
boot and shoe dealers.
The purpose is to protect the little
shoemaker, the sewing girl and others
who are earning their living without
capital in small way. The practical
operation of this system is said to be an
advantage to the working classes.
The law which authorizes officials to fix
wages paid factory operatives and other
employees is said to be an absolute pre-
ventive Of lockouts and strikes. At
the same time the rates Of wages are SO
low that the cost Of the product to the
public has not been increased to any
extent.
II must not be understood that the price
Of every article that is offered for sale
in haberdasher's shop Is fixed by city
officials. They do not go so far as that
except in the sale Of milk, bread. fuel
and other absolute necessities Of life.
No miIkman can charge more than a
fixed price. Every loaf of bread must be
Of a certain weight.

The city also owns a stone quarry
about thirty miles from Vienna, which
was purchased about thirty years ago
as a measure Of economy when the great
system of public Improvement was unders
taken. Millions Of dollars worth OF stone

buildings, and as little public construc-

worked for the benefit of private builders
and the stone is sold at f1xed prices
