CASEY WILL Be
EXECUTED ON
DATESET AT
TRIAL
JUDGE SONIERS JOINS IN PETI-
TION FOR CLEAIENCY OF
MURDERER.

CARSON CITY, New, Aug. A.
Late yesterday the supreme court
denied the application of Patrick
Casey for a rehearing in his case.
This placed the matter up to the
board of pardons.
At O'Clock yesterday afternoon
the beard of pardons decided to
refuse clemency to Casey, allowing
the sentence of Judge Somers to
stand. This provides for execution
August l6, the anniversary of the
atroeious crime of two years ago
which led to the deaths of the
Heslips. 1t was cited in support
of the plea for clemency that Casey
was unconscious of what he was
doing, as he was drunk at the time,
but review of the testimony PROV
ed to the satisfaction of the board
that Casey deliberately placed him
self in a maudlin condition pre-
paratory to killing woman who
rejected his lustful overtures.
The board met in special session
to review the testimony and also
listen to the plea of Casey's attor-
neys, Diskin and Kunz. Diskin
made one of the strongest pleas
for a communication of sentence from
hanging to that of life imprison-
ment ever heard before the board.
An affidavit endorsing the plea
for clemency was presented by At
torney Kunz from Judge Somers.
Supreme Judge Sweeney from the
chair complimented the two at
torneys on the showings and care.
they had taken in this case.
Immediately after the conclusion
of the evidence and plea the board
Went into executive session. The
case occupied the entire morning
yesterday. The board reconvened

CONFESSION I'M
LORIMER CASE
MUST FACE CROSS-EXAMINA.
TION ON PART OF IlORINIER
ATTORNEYS.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 4.-Chas,
a. White, the Illinois legislator
who claims he was bribed to vote
for William Lorimer for senator,
completed his three days story on
direct examination before the Sen
ate Lorimer committee yesterday.
He has yet to measure witnesses
with counsel for I4orimer in cross
examination.
Most of the day was devoted to
telling how he spent the $1,000 Lor-
liner money and the $500 jackpot
money he claims, he received, and
in relating his attempts to have his
so-called confession printed. At the
erd of the day the manuscript was
put in evidence.
The story told at the first Lori
mer inquiry was varied by reputed
fusillades of questions from the
committee as to Whites motive in
accepting the brides and then ex-
posing them. White stuck to his
testimony that he was working all
the time for the good of the pub
lie The story was also varied /
differences with the testimony Of
James Kelley, general manager and
editor of the Chicago Tribune, as

testified yesterday that he asked
only $4,000 and not $4,000,
He told how he objected to the
contrast between it and said he
Offered to sell his story to the
Tribune. White said he did not
offer to sell it, but he would not
tell Senator Jones what he would
have used to describe what he had
done. The witness said he was told
that these words made no difference
anyway He said he went to the
Tibune with his manuscript because
Edwin R. Wright, president of the
Illinois state federation of labor,
suggested that he see Editor Nc
Cormick Of that paper.
White complained that he did not
| have counsel when he made the
contract, and that he was placed
in custody the very night he signed
it and kept in custody for nearly
eight months. When he protested
against it, White said, the officers
told him they had papers that
might surprise him.
He testified that he heard State $
Attorney Wayman of Cook county
tell the officers to keep him in
charge, and that he had hqsgd that
Wayman had the officers take him
on trips to Wisconsin, Minnesota
and Michigan, so as to keep him
from appearing before the grand
jury At times White said four
officers were with him.

cARlcATuRlNe AMERICANS.

The polite requests of Consul-Gen-
eral J. l.. Grimths, located in London,
that British playwrights make an oc-
casional exception and portray an
American gentleman, instead of the
caricaturc that customarily does duty
as IAN American i'm English plays,
is ono that will be heartily rc-echoed
i'm this country, remarks the Detroit
News. Unfortunately for us, the Eng
fish are fond of putting in the high
lights i'm their portraiture of stage
Americans. of representing the charac-
tcrs bearing the American label as vul-
gar Doors. ignorant and overtrich,
namboyant, loud and boastful Thus, a
sad impression is gained of us "over
'omc."
Mr.. Griniths rightly insists that the
American gentleman is quite as com
mon as the American boor. The sup
ply Of each type is pretty constant the
world over, even among the Hottcn-
tots, of whom il is said by travellers
that some are gentle and some are
rude But when all the truth has been
told. we do as much for the English
i'm the way of caricature. We do even
more for the Irish. as much for the
French and twice as much for the Ger
man. The presence of foreign char
actcr i'm any play usually means a car
feature, because of that natural, Ions
/ inherited prejudice against the for
oigner, the stranger without our gates
the sassenach, the gentle, the uit-
lander and the outsider.
But the misfortune Of our being per
sistently caricaturcd before British
audiences is not SO much ours as
theirsIt does not hurt us as much as
IL Injuries them. No nation can afford
TO live in prejudice against the for
oiguer. II bclittlos. il cramps, il
shrivcIs. IL narrows the horizon of life
The Englisllman who sees pictured a
caricaturc labeled IAN American" and
comes 10 regard that caricaturc as ty-
pical of all American life, of Ameri-
can feeling of American ambition, of
American culture, and of American
manhood has fooled himself badly. He
has been sold, deluded prejudiced. de-
ceiycd and robbed of the truth More
over his worse nature has been APP
pealcd %, his provgncialism. his cheap
! little prcjudices ana cnmities ON the
whole me is a worse man because of
his distorted ideas Of his ncighbor. Let
the British extract the beam from their
own ewes by Uurging their stage of thc
libel. And let us extract the mote
from ours by paying court to the true
manhood i'm foreigners whether as
portrayed on the stage of as met i'm
the daily walks Of life
IIumor there is in life. and good ma -
turcd fun with the idiosyncracies OF
ourselves and our ncighbors. Carica-
| turc has its place. But every time a
