THE WEEK.

| Two events of the week have an inn
portant influence upon the business
| situation, inasmuch as they remove
much of the uncertainty which has
| served to retard enterprise and dis
courage activity. These events are
the Supreme Court decision in one of
the cases involving the status OF big
corporations under the antitrust law,
and the prospects of the restoration
| of peace in Mexico. These develop
| ments had the effect of greatly in
creasing transactions in the securities
| market. always the most sensitive, and
quick to respond to new conditions
| It's influence is also felt to n moderate
extent in the leading trades and in
dustries. For the first time i'm many
| weeks the reports from the leading
| trade centers are more buoyant in
| tone, though it would not appear that
| the actual gain i'm volume of transac-
! tions has been much, If any. This
| Improvement in business sentiment
| appears in the reports from the iron
| and steel trade where i'm spite of con
tinued contraction and price conces-
sions in pig iron, better feeling is
noted with some increased orders
from railroads. 1t also appears to a
| limited degree in the textile markets,
| which report some Improvement. not
WlthStnnIinp Tho
| ment due largely to the high cost of
production and the conservative pur-
chases by consumers. 1t is noteworthy
| that the more seasonable weather
stimulates n larger retail distribution.
and the continued fine prospects for
the crops have an encouraging effect
upon trade. The wheat conditions are
| admirable in every essential, while the
cotton outlook is also favorable The
shoe trade is conservatively improved.
| The copper market appears steadier.
| The issue of Panama Canal bonds is
expected to be an unqualified success
Railroad earnings in the first week
or May decreased l.3 per cent Bank
clearings outside of New York this
| week gained 0.3 per cent and 60 per
cent. over the two preceding yea IS;
| in New York there was Il gain Of
per cent. over 1910 and Il loss of Go
per cent. from 1909. The improve
ment in the export trade, which has
been one of the best features of the
past few months, keeps up At New
York in the fastest week exports were
Sl5,269.l40, or only $1,ll2,753 less than
the imports, while last year the ex-
cess of imports was $3,90S 500 and i'm
1909 was 3,30S,579
Production in nearly all lines of tex
tile is increasingly limited because of
the reduced margin of profit, and this,
too, concurrently with Il better tone
to reports concerning prospects for
improved trade. Warmer weather has
given some impetus to distribution of
dry goods at retail and in limited
way the effect of this is reflected i'm an
increased number of small orders for
Seasonable merchandise. The EXPORT
movement Of cotton goods continues
we'll ahead Of last year and more ac-
tive buying of printed fabrics has fol-
lowed the large purchases OF print
cloths week ago. Some factors of
strength have developed in the WOODEN
goods market, among them a notice by
the leading producer OF mems wear
that it could receive no more orders

Hon. w. H. Winchester, Judge Of
the district court Of the Sixth judi
cial district, after listening to argu.
ments on the returns made by Ward.
en- F. o. Hellstrom of the state penf-
Tertiary to a writ Of habeas corpus,
and nothing appearing to the con-
with. The prisoner was in attend.
ance at the hearing In the custody OF
penitentiary and set at liberty forth
ordered William Barry, sentenced to
the institution from Walsh county for
murder, to be discharged from the
trary at the time of the hearing,
the warden and the order of the
court was Immediately obeyed. Thus
ended one of the greatest criminal
cases in the history Of the northwest.
On January 3, 1901, Barry killed
his hired man, Andrew Mellem, In
the barn on the formers homestead,
by stabbing him in the neck with q
knife, severing tho jugular vein
the cal..ac q, tery.. Barry claimed
that Mellem had. wronged his sister
who was a mental defective. The
girl afterwards died in the state asy-
lum for the insane at jamestown.
Barry Immediately betook himself to
Langdon where he told the authori-
ties that he had killed Mellem and
gave himself up. He said that he
had tried to hang Mellem but was
unable TO do so and finished him with
knife. He was seen by several
parties who thought that he was act
ing queer or mentally unbalanced at
the time.
The information was filed Febru-
airy II, 1901. charging him with MUIR
der in the first degree, and the first
trial commenced July Is Of the same
year in the district court at Lang
don, Cavalier county. On August 10
the jury returned a verdict, finding
the defendant guilty, as charged in
the. information and fixed the penalty
at life imprisonment. At this trial
Barry was defended by! Tracy Bangs
of Grand Forks, and "Bill' Erwin, the
famous criminal lawyer of Minnesota,
and two other attorneys. The state
was represented by States Attorney
w. B. Dixon, and by John NJ Coch-
rane of the firm of Cochrane & Cor
lies of Grand Forks. Mr.. Cochrane
was afterward justice of the supreme
court of North Dakota. On August
~, 1901, the court pronounced sen.
tence in accordance with the verdict
rendered and sentenced Barry to hard
labor at the penitentiary at Bismarck
for the rest Of his natural life. He
was taken by the sheriff Of Cavalier
county to Bismarck and delivered to
the warden and commenced to serve
his sentence.
Barry then prosecuted an appeal to
the supreme court from the judgment
delivered by the court and that body
sustained the appeal, set aside the
Judgment of the district court and
awarded him a new trial. It also
ordered the district court to modify
its judgment In conformity with the
decision of the supreme court. This
decision was handed down December
80, 1902, and the district court modi-
fed its judgment March %, 1903 so
that under the first sentence Barry
