KERN AND BR|STOW
 PASS C0MPL PL|MENTS

Washington, July 2S.-Senator Kern of Indiana, speaking today on reso, lution to add several employees to the pay rolls, charged that "spoils sys- tenn had run mad in the Senate, where republicans so systematically divided patronage that members often were awarded "half a man. Senator Dixon republican, retorted that the demo- cratic House had discharged all re- publican employees.
 A resolution putting 16 messengers on the Senate rolls caused the trouble. Senator BristoW said it would result in economy rather than extra expense and would reduce the number of Sen ate employees.
 Well, economy was an issue in the last campaign said Senator Kern If these men are working for commit- tees that never met we ought to abolish the subterfuge and make it plain that we are providing employees not for com mittees but for the individual benefit of senator's"
 Many personalities enlivened the. struggle. The activity of Senators Reed and Kern, democrats, evoked a sar- castle rejoinder from Senator Bristo,v of Kansas, that it was unfortunate the Senate had had to struggle along so many years without the wisdom" of the two new senators. "I desiro to say now to the senator from kansas" retorted MT. Reed, that l ina zine IS poor old cpuntry'of ours that ran before Kansas was a state and lnal s.,.
 the senator from Kansas rose like d sun of intelligence anoNe the ho,lA,ni of the intellectual light that, has en- veloped us, will struggle on when tho clouds and shadows gather oyer the United States and they stand by his tomb weeping rivers of tears"
 When the debate had concluded inc Senate passed the resolution.

under arrest. Caseday then took
charge of Snyder and returned to-
ward Monument. Soon after the de-
fendant started from Hamilton to-
ward Monument the defendants, EN-
NETT Shields, Earl Shields and Albert
Green went together in a buggy to
Monument. On returning to Monu-
ment with the prisoner, Caseday at
once sought Albert Green and found
him in saloon, took him out in the
rear of the building and had pri-
vate conference with him out of the
hearing Of other persons. He di-
rected the man with whom he had
left the rife to return it to Emmett
Shields. Soon after, meeting EN-
NETT in the saloon, the latter asked
him for the cartridges belong to the
rife. Caseday produced them and
when Emmett asked him if that was
all, the former calculated: For
Gods sake amt that enough?" The
parties held number of private con-
ferences in and about the saloon in
Monument and later in the evening
about 8 o'clock Caseday started with
the prisoner to drive to Hamilton,
following two other men who took
with them the body of Green. Ar
irving in Hamilton all the parties
stayed there until between 2 and
o'clock the following morning Also
in Hamilton there were frequent con-
ferences in private between the de-
fendant Caseday and others of the
defendants. Emmett Shields was
heard to state that they would never
get to Canyon City with Snyder. He
and the defendant Hinton also solici-
ted various persons to assist in hang
ing Snyder. There is testimony
tending to show that although Case
day had assistance in bringing Sny-
der as far as Hamilton he represent
ed to the assistant that they would
stay all night in Hamilton and go to
Canyon City the next day, but disre-

try it fairly and impartialIy; would
not allow his previous conceptions to
influence him If taken as a juror;
that his opinion would not have any
influence whatever in making up his
verdict; that the view he had was not
formed from talking with witnesses
or jurors who had participated in the
trial of Hinton, but arose from talk
ing with people about the case and
from reading the papers. The court
ovcrruled the defendants challenge
for bias of this juror and afterwards
the defendant used upon him his last
peremptory challenge.
The juror Cook was slightly ac-
qualnted with the defendants Caseday
and Albert Green, but not with the
defendant Shields. He had heard OF
the killing of Snyder and read about
it in the local papers; had talked
some with other people about it but
had not expressed any opinion him
self. He was absent in Portland dur
ing the trial Of Hinton, had moi
formed an opinion as to the guilt OF
innocence of Caseday and stated that
he would not take into consideration
what he had heard or read of the evl.
dence in the trial against Hinton, but
would go by what was produced II
the present trial; that he would no
consider the fact that Hinton ha(
been convicted unless the evidencC
showed a connection between Hintor
and Caseday, in which event he woult
give some consideration to the con.
viction of Hinton but on examina.
tion by the court he answered thai
he would surely go by the directions
of the court not to consider the fact
that Hinton was convicted.
Bert Howard was not acquainted
with any of the defendants; hat
heard of the killing of oliver Snyder
had heard the name Of the defendant
used in connection with 1t only as 8
deputy sheriff at the time; had read

the county paper and had participant
ed In the discussion of the reports but
had not taken enough interest in the
matter to inform himself as to the
facts for his own satisfaction and
had not expressed any opinion as to
the guilt or innocence Of Caseday.
He was present in Canyon City about
15 minutes while some one Of coun-
sci was arguing the case of Hinton
to the jury, but who it was he did
not remember.
The court overruled the chal-
lenges for cause made by the defen-
dant against the Jurors Cook and
Howard and permitted them to par
ticlpate in the trial Of Caseday. "a
challenge for actual bias may be
taken for the cause mentioned in the
second subdivision Of section 121;
but on the trial Of such challenge,
although it should appear that the
Juror challenged has formed or ex-
pressed an opinion upon the merits
of the cause from what he may have
heard or read, such opinion shall,not
of itself be sufficient to sustain the
challenge, but the court must be sat
isfied, from all the circumstances,
J that the juror cannot disregard such
opinion and try the issue impartial
ly." L. o. L. Sec. 1873. The defense,
to sustain these challenges, relies
upon the case of State " Miller, 46
Or. 4S5. In that case some of the
talesmen testified that they were in
court at the former trial when the
widow of the decedent gave her testi-
mony; that they had talked to good
many witnesses who gave testimony
at the former trial and also to some
OF the jurors who returned verdict
of guilty therein; that they detailed
as nearly as they could the facts in
volved and having confidence in
what they said, the Jurors had formed

Shields and A. M. Crawford, attor-

Joseph H. Caseday was jointly in
dicted with Emmett Shields, Earl
Shields, Albert Green and Ben Hin
ton for the premeditated murder of
Oliver Synder, The better to COM
prehend the situation it is proper to
state that Canyon City, the county
seat, is located near the center of
Grant county About 80 miles to the
northwest is the village of Hamilton
and Monument is situated about nine
miles further in the same direction.
Some miles still farther on that
course on the evening of December
"a, 1909, in an alteration in a sheep
herders' cabin, Oliver Snyder killed
Arthur Green and at once fed, Sc
creting himself in the woods on the
adjacent hills Mr. Beymer, an eye
witness, notified the officers and
summoned help. The defendant
Caseday at that time was acting as
deputy sheriff and hearing of the
homicide, took with him a justice of
the peace for the purpose of holding
an inquest, borrowed a gun belong
ing to his co-defendant Emmett
Shields and proceeded toward the
scene of the killing. Arriving at
Monument and learning that Snyder
had given himself up, the defendant
left the rife and went on until he
met some men bringing in the body
OF Arthur Green and having Snyder
