SORROW FOR PROLIxITY


Ruef expressed his sorrow that his
transcript on appeal was so long
j. 600 pages with $500 pages of brief
-but cunningly charged the prolixity
TO the Vaccinations Of the prosecution.
He said:
II is apparent that the court IS
entirely justified in its reference
10 the herculesn task of consider
ing this immense record, and that
during the limited time it was i'm
possible for this court to study a
Svsrenatics lly and as thoroughly
as il might have desired the 10000
page record and the $500 pages OF
record. Yet. IN justice, should ap
pellsnt be deprived Of 2 full and
thorough consideration Of his case
because OF the unfortunate length
Of the record
Ruef cited instances in which he said
the decision had misstated the evi-
dence. particularly in regard TO the
clear summary made by Justice Cooper
Of the part the United Railroads played
in paying the bribe money to Ruef.
The appeal stated that many points al
legged by Cooper did not come up in the
testimony at the trial.
OBJECTION TO OPINIONS
The fourteenth amendment to the
constitution was invoked by Ruef al
the close Of his appeal. in which he de-
clared that he was deprived Of his lib
erty without due process Of law and
denied the protection Of the law. This
denial of rights came, he declared,
when the court refused 10 grant him a
new trial on account Of errors because
il held the evidence was strong enough
TO indicate his guilt: that in that de-
cision the court had established rule
by which greater amount Of prejudi-
ciaI error would be required to reverse
the judgment Of conviction against a
6esendant whose guilt was highly prob
able than against one whose guilt was
less proba BILE; that the court IN the
Ruef case ruled not in accordance with
the law, but on its opinions Of his
guilt. and that he was not accused Of
any crime because II was not shown
that the supervisors had any power to
grant a franchise to the United Rail-
roads for an overhead trolley.

Lieutenant Hofrichter Confesscs
He Tried to Murder Supcriors
to Gain Promotion.

Vienna, April so.--Thc mystery OF tho
Wholesale poisoning plot directed against
recently promoted officers of tho Austrian
army. ono OF whom died as n result, has
been cleared by the confession OF Lieuton.
ant Adolf Hofrchter, who yesterday ad-
mttcd that he had sent capsules contain
Ing prussic acid to ten members OF tho
general stan with the object OF poisoning
them. Tho capsules were accompanied with
o circular recommending their usc for Ill

addressed, took tho preparation and died
Immediately.
Hofrichter's vito Is suspected OF COM
pllcty In tho conspiracy, and is undergoing
an examination by the magistrate.
In his confession the lieutenant declared
that his sole motive for the polsonings was
n hope of becoming staff officer through
the death of his supcriors.
Tho prisoner Is now liable 10 sentence
OF death lifo imprisonment, which the
Australian military law prohibits except
when an accused person makes a formal
confession.
Suspicion was directed against Lieutenant
Hofrichter, who was arrested November q.
by the discovery that hts handwriting close
~ resanbled that on the envelopes In which
the capsules were sent. He, with sixty
others, had talten examination for pro-
motion TO the rank OF captain. Thirty sue
ceeded. leaving Hofrichter third on the un-
successful list.
The police found that he was in the sub
urb where tho poison packages were matlsd
on tho date shown on tho postmark. 1t was
also discovered that no had also purchased
| pruss!c acid, saying he needed 1t in pho
| tographic work. A chemist in tho village
where Hofrichter's home is swore that inc
| lieutenant purchased empty capsules similar
! 10 those sent to the officers. Confronted
with these facts Hotriehter broke down and
confessed.

 The continual advance of the boil lweevil into Arkansas has been source of worry to plant CTS all over the state," said one of our prominent planters today, and the news that the contin- ued spell of cold weather has knocked the insect out for a sea son certainly sounds good to our ears.
