"TAKE ME UP and

Wife Murderer Strangles, Beg
ging for Hangmen to Try
the Trap Once More

WALLA WALLA. May 13.-Moaning
me again, boys" Richard Quinn, a wife
murderer of Everett, Wash, dangled at
the end of the rope beneath the scaffoId
at the prison this morning and slowly
strangled to death, it being 22h min
utes from the time the trap was sprung
until he was taken down.
The horror was no fault of the hang
man. however, as the cords in the back
of Quinn's neck were abnormally large.
and he held his head back and tensed
the muscles as the trap was sprung
Attendants werel startled a moment
later, when Quinn's legs began to
twitch, and then Mortified by his groans
of Boys. this is awful and For
Gods sake, take me UP and drop
me again, boys" SO conscious was
was he that he was able to unbuckle
the straps about his arms and drop
them to the ground. After aNrnoment.
his words became more inarticulate.
and shortly he ceased to sway and died
after % minutes.
Quinn was one of the nerviest men
who ever went on the scaffold here.
He refused spiritual advice. He spent
the night writing letters. ate a hearty
breakfast and as the jailers came to
lead him away, he asked for smoke.
This was denied him and he ran up
the stairs as gayly as though death was
not ahead From the scaffold he said
he was innocent. as the shooting of his
wife was an accident Quinn was the
thirteenth man to be hanged here, and
a peculiar coincidence was that this
was Friday, the thirteenth day of the
month.

RESPECT FOR LAW
is LESSON IN VIEW
After individuals Are Landed

Dissolved
PROSECUTORS BELIEVE
EVIDENCE COMPLETE

nEFORE bringing. the case
/ of the fish trust to the grand
jury, Attorney General
Webb and District Attorney
Fickert made thorough study of
the Cartwright law.
This law attacks trade combin-
ations in two ways-by prosecut-
ing its members criminaIly and by
enjoining in the civil courts any
continuance of such combinations.
''The criminal feature" said
Fickert. "is the stronger, for it
gets right at the conspirators.
Such combinations act subtly and
secretly and may not be greatly
hurt if first dissolved. But when
the conspirators have been taught
to respect the law the secondary
action is likely to stick"
Personal Penalty Needed
This view was also expressed
by Attorney General Webb, who
added:
1T isn't blood we are after in
this thing. But we feel that if
the men themselves who form
these combinations have person
ally to pay the penalty, the law
will then be held in respectful
fear. And that is what we want.
"The fact that there must be
such conspiracy among whole
salers to uphold prices seemed to
me self-evident on it's face. For
why, otherwise, could fish which
is at our very gates come to be
sold at extortionate prices? 1t
was to verify this suspicion that
l suggested that the senate COM
mittee take it up. 1t is now
completely verified so far as I am
concerned. in the evidence coming
to light since then"
Besides giving the services Of
members of its reportorial staff
exclusively to this work during
the last month, The Call has
employed John B. Markley, an in
vestigator widely known in the
east.
Investigator a Fighter
Markley. a relative of General
Markley, retired, fought with the
famous Sixth United States in
fantry at San Juan hill and the
actions about Santiago during the
Spanish war and later against the
ladrones in the Philippines, where,
as a sergeant, he was for some
time in command of a company of
Filipino scouts. On leaving the
army he took up investigating
work with such success that it is
now his profession.

COSTLY KITE FLYING.

1t is proverbially expensive for the
United States government to do al
most anything, but no one suspect
ed that it cost Uncle Sam as much
as $500 to engage in the innocent
amusement of flying a kite Satur-
day congress passed a bill reimburs-
ing a man in Virginia to the extent
of the above amount for the loss of
'sorrel horse, 131 Il years old, Is p
hands high and weighing 1900
pounds, which got tangled up in
the wire of government kite being
used by the agricultural department
for weather observations and ruined
itself
The kite came down in a pasture
where the horse was, and the two
got mixed up with alleged disastrous
results to the horse. 1t took a dozen
afidavits, a printed bill and report
and some oratory on the floor of the
house to induce Uncle Sam to pay
for the injured animal.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

THE local newspaper is ever
ready to assist in the promotion
of every move for the improve
ment and benefit of its town and
community, therefore it justly
deserves every favor given it.
That is true. The local newspaper
will do for a community, and cheer
fully and literally, what an outside
paper would not think of doing.
That is why appreciation and sup
port of the home paper should be
the pride of every man in the COM
By support" we mean le-
ultimate patronage-not literal sup
port" There are very few papers
in Georgia that want or would have
in the way of charity. They
do more for their communities than
their communities do for them.
What would Albany be without the
Herald, Triton without the Gazette
and Dublin without the Courier-Dis-
patch? And the same may be said
Of any town and newspaper in the
state.

Is religion worth such manifesto

The numerous Protestant denomina-
tions-Catholicity, Judaism, Hindoo-

etc-offer a balm for those tempted
to despair; consolation enough to
raise up the most forlorn, the utterly

1t is pitiable to think that en-

because one form of belief does
not supply that comfort, peace of
