VENDING GETS LIFE TERM
Jury Finds Former Janitor Guilty Of
Child Murder.
EVIDENCE IS ORCUNsTANTIAI
Condemned Man says Fic should Have
Been Sentenced to the Electric
chair ~ TIE f. Guilty Of

LOUISVILLE ky. Dec. 2-Joseph
Vending tonight was found guilty by a
jury Of the murder OF S-year-old Anna
Kelner and his punishment fixed at life
Imprisonment. The Jury was given the
case at SO o'clock this afternoon and an
nounced their verdict at 1910. Vending
was talking to his wife. Mrs. Madeline
Vending. when the verdict was announced.
He remained perfectly calm.
II either killed the little girl or I didn't
said vending. They should either send
me TO the electric chair or turn me free"
The verdict came after a day spent ia
argument by attorneys and the reading OF
the instructions by Judge Gregory. Al
though there were four possible verdicts
the jury might have returned under the
instructions OF the court. the verdict was
merely murder"
Evidence CircumstnntiaI.
The evidence presented against vending
was purely circumstRntial Since his arrest
and throughout his trial he denied any
knowledge Of the fate Of the iIellner child.
Witnesses testified however, that wend-
ling, then janitor at st. Johns church. was
seen in the church the morning Alma Kell-
ner last went there to mass. The child
was never again seen. Alma Kellner was
/ the daughter Of Mr and Mrs. Fred Kellner
Of this city and niece OF Frank Fehr
millionaire brewer, who spent much time
and money in the search for the child and
/ in the prosecution Of Vending. 1t was
first believed the child had been kidnapped
and numerous rewards we're offered for
her return.
! on May 30 the mutilated body Of a child
was found in a cellar under the music
room at St Johns Catholic church The
body was accepted by the Kellner family
as that Of their child. Circumstantial evil
donce pointed to Joseph Vending, former
janitor Of the church, who had disappeared
on January IA. as the murderer.
Long Search for vending.
A search was started for him, which led
to New Orleans through Texas, and
finally 10 California, where he was cap
tured on June 80, the arrest being made in
San Francisco.
Chief OF Detectives Carney Of this city,
who conducted the search for Vending,
had almost given up the hunt when he
located Mrs. Cora MuneR, a Ailliner, at
Hume, Mo. Vending had known Mrs.
Munea in Texas and had proposed mar
riage to her.
Mrs. Munea denied any knowledge OF
Vending, but on his visit Captain Carney
found a postcard from Vending mailed
in California Carney telegraphed his in
formation to the san Francisco police and
the arrest followed.
Once back in Louisville, attorneys for
Vending, who is a Frenchman, attempted
to have the case tried in the federal court
and with six Of his own countrymen on
the jury. The federal court sent the case
back to the state court.
The trial began Monday and has been
one Of the most celebrated held in this
state.

Belief in Col. Roosevelt.

From various directions come in
ouiries for our opinion of Mr.. Roose-
velt's conduct in shaking hands with
Boss Cox after refusing to dine with
Senator Loriner. If Mr. Roosevelt had
refused to have anything to do with
bosses. he could not have accomplished
anything like as much. In twenty
years, let us hope, this will not be
true, but it is true today. Mr.. Roose-
welt has to trust his judgment about
when to strike an evil, as in the case
of the Loriner bribery. He cannot be
striking everything. If he did he would
hit nothing. He is to be judged by
his efforts to raise standards and by
the quality of his judgment about
methods. including the question Of
times, places and occasions. The gen.
eral opinion, like our own. is that his
record. extending over some thirty
years, speaks for him and speaks high
ly to his credit, from the time when,
at the beginning of his manhood, he
entered the New York assembly,
through his civil service work, his po-
lice conlmissionership his governor
ship, his two presidencies. down to the
other day when, assuming the civic
duties of man in private life. he
marched out to meet the predatory
bosses of the Empire state and shook
the control of the republican party
from their hands.-Colliers Weekly.

PARKER TO TRAIL ROOSEVELT.

Judge Parker is thoroughly stirred
up over the political conditions in the
country, and has been selected to fol-
low Colonel Roosevelt in his speech
making campaign in New York state,
to break down his influence with the
people. News of this comes in the
following form:
"Alton b. Parker of New York is
in dead earnest. He says the only
way to avoid Matchmaking this coun-
try is to defeat the Roosevelt ticket
Judge Parker is to trail Roosevelt
in the coming New York campaign,
speaking in the places where Roose-
welt speaks The fur is to fly in the
Empire state, where the campaign will
be one of the most bitterly fought of
recent years, and this is saying good
deal for New York"
Our sympathy with Judge Parker is
all that keeps US from smiling, for in
stead of undoing the work Roosevelt
has cut out for himself he is very like
ly to be undone. Allowing that Judge
Parker has equal ability, he lacks the
magnetism and the personal popularity
which lend force to all the opinions
Colonel Roosevelt sees fit to utter
This looks very much like starting
dark lantern in the trail of a comet
to lessen its flaming effect. Mr.
Roosevelt must be smiling to think
that the democratic party's best light
is of such weak illuminating power.

Prison Reform.

The problem relating to prison re-
form will be considered from many
pulpits in this state on October %.
These problems closely concern civiliz-
alton. They have vexed mankind
through the centuries, and the salts
factory solution has not yet been
reached. Progress is slow, but dis
cernible. The state reforrnatory to
be built in Cheshire is a step in the
right direction. Another thing that is
urged by people of experience is a
state farm where FOUNDERS and drunk
ards can be sent under an indetermi-
nate sentence. State control of the
jails is another proposition that APP
pears to have strength. Manifestly
our jail system is capable of great
Improvement. In addition to these
measures personal work among and in
behalf Of discharged or paroled pris-
oners Is urged. Increasing interest
and intelligent discussion are bound
to have results. 1t is significant that
leaders in the movement are wise men.
They are not swayed by emotion Or
sentimentality. They are leyel-head-
ed people who know the weaknesses
and temptations of humanity. as well
as the inadequate methods of punish
ment and reform now in vogue. They
are confident that betterment can be
made, and they should be encouraged
in their wort.--Bristol Press.
