YOUNG BOY FAILS
TO GET NEW TRIAL
Supreme Court AfHrms Verdict
Against Boy Who Killed
Stepfather.

Three Of the six opinions handed
down by the supreme court yesterday
dealt with criminal cases, the most
interesting of them being the appeal
of Lem Johns, the 16 year old boy
who shot and killed his stepfather,
John Sharp, at Moulton, Appanoose
county, April 8, 1910.
The boy was found guilty of man
slaughter in the district court and the
case was appealed on the grounds that
the action was entirely in self-defense.
The appeal also set up the claim that
the stepfather treated the boy brutal
ly and that the boy tried to avoid
trouble. The supreme court affirmed
the verdict of the lower court.
The court affirmed the decision of
| the lower court in the case of Frank
Bruno, who inflicted injuries upon w.
G. Crompton with knife, following
a quarrel, which resulted in the lat
ter's death. Bruno was convicted OF
murder in the second degree. The
question of the validity as evidence
Of the dying declaration of Crompton
was one of the big questions in the
appeal. The defense attempted to
prove that the wounds ordinarily
would not be fatal ones, and that
Crompton's declaration was made be-
fore he thought he was near to death.
In the case of Allen Cotter, against
whom Judgment was made In the
district court at Hiteman for seduc-
ton, the supreme court reversed the
lower court and ordered new trial
The high court holds that the Judge
instructed the jury wrongly leaving
it possible for the jury to decide that
the act was accomplished by means
of "caresses.', THE practical effect
of such a rule" the opinion reads,
would be to eliminate one of the dis
tinctive elements OF the crime of Sc
duction."
The supreme court held with the
lower court in the case of George
Young Of Madison county, convicted
on perjury charge. Young was tried
three times, and his last move was to
appeal. Young was convicted of Civ
ng whiskey to a negro who was an
habitual drunkard. He was accused
of this act in court, and denied the
charge, whereupon perjury charges
were filed and proven.

CHINESE REBELS
LOSE FIRST ROUND
imperial Troops Pour Bullets Into
Them for Nearly Three
Hours

HANKOW. Oct. 1s.-The first pitch.
ed battle of the Chinese rebellion.
which commenced this morning, lasted
for nearly three hours and resulted in
a decisive victory for the imperial
troops. Notwithstanding the fact that
the imperial army was outnumbered
three to one by the rebels they drove
back the revolutionists and dispersed
them with heavy losses.
No report has reached here as to the
exact number of the dead and wound
ed, but it is certain that it will be very
large and it is thought that this blow
will aid the government a great deal
in putting down the rebellion.

conspiracy with J G. Maybray and
others TO dcfraud numerous persons of
large sums Of money. Maybray, the
chief witness for the prosecution. WAS
on the stand TODAY for the fourth day
Of his examination.
The theory of the defense as deycI-
opcd by the cross examination of May
bray. is that the latter. in making the
claim that he was paving large sums
of money to Marks for protection
against intcrfercuce by the city and
county authorities and for assistance
from the First National bank in col
lcctiuG money from tho victims OF
swindlcs, was simply robbing his part
uers and putting the money into his
own pockets.
Mrs Maybrav followed her husband
on the stand. and testified that on a
number of occasions she accompanied
Maybray on visits 10 tbc Marks home
when, as he told her. he went TO pay
Marks money.
They went in an automobile and she
remained in the machine, a block from
the Marks home. but saw her husband
enter the gate.
Ira NJ. Day, employed in factory
near the Marks residence. told of see
ing Mavbray visit there frequently.
