SILvERS WINS
IN HIGH COURT
CASE BROUGHT TO SUPREME
TRIBUNAL BY w. b. FLOYD IS
DECIDED AGAINST HIM.

The action OF the supreme court yes
terday In Affirming the decision of the
lower court In the case of Silvers VS..
Floyd, recalls suit that attracted
some attention when tried in the dis
trict court OF Wapello county because
of all that was brought out during
the hearing. 1t will be recalled that
w. V. Silvers had control of q build
Ing on East Main street which he
claimed to have rented to Schonweb-
Der and Floyd, The former operated
a saloon in the lower portion of the
building, while Floyd was said to oper-
ate gambling house in the upper
floor OF the, structure. The action Of
the grand Jury in probing number
of gambling houses, caused the gamb-
ling house to close and the saloon was
sold by Schonwebber to person
named Green. The rent had been met
by the two former occupants and after
the sale Of the saloon, Green and
Floyd paid the rent one-half the
amount by each person for a time.
Two months after the saloon closed,
Floyd refused to pay the rent for the
building and w. v. Silvers brought
suit for two months rent at $55 per
month. Floyd resisted the claim and
said that Silvers rented the building
for gambling purposes knowingly.
This was denied by Silvers and the
question was one Of the chief features
Of the case and had much to do with
it's going to the supreme court after
Mr.. Silvers won the case in the dis
trict court. The af1rming Of the lower
court will close the case in which the
costs have piled up In addition to the
principal sued for.

An old citizen, whose memory goes
back many years, writes as follows:
Editor Hawk-Eye: Not Wishing to
start a controversy, thought would
add my testimony to what has been
said concerning the first ride to Of
tumwa on engine No. O. think Broth
er Whitney made too early trip. Per-
haps he was asleep on the box and has
forgotten the date. I, with four others,
walked from Eddyville to Agency and
we passed through Ottumwa on or
about May 20, 1859, and am sure
there was no railroad there. Neither
was there any train from Keokuk. We
were anxious to get the nearest train
to Keokuk or Burlington and went on
to Agency.
Respectfully.
r. G.. STEPHENS.

Jury Flup3 1N1 mculEl
nENay MURPHY IS SANE.
verdict Rsaehsa ~ Two Aenvtesi
Five Gxpssts Called The
Prisoner Mad.

Michael Henry Murphy is sane. He
knew when he fired bullet through
the hesrt of Anatelia Wunderle. what
he WAS doing. and he must snswer to
the law for the crime. lt took . jury
in the West Side court yesterday only
two minutes to arrive at this conclu-
sion, despite the fact that five experts.
who had sat in the witness chair. de-
clared the slayer of Miss Wunderle 10
be insane.
The mothers story of Murphy's
cruelty to animals. his inability to take
proper care of himself until he was Z
years old. and his queer haiti of pick
ing up imaginary straws evidently did
not weigh heavily with the twelve.
The jurors were given the case before
noon. They filed out slowly. The At
.orneys for Murphy wsrs jubi!snt. for
FIVE Of the lesdins slienists IN che city
he'd declared Murphy inssnA Hssdly
he'd the bsiliR left the jury sDm when
there was . rspping on the door from
within. The verdict had bsen reached.
Judge Bliss already had left the court
room. however. and it was 2 o'clock b. :
fore the decision Of the twelve was
opened.
"Sane!' it read.
The aged mother Of the prisoner al
most swooned. Her son. Edward, placed
his arm about her and led her from the
courtroom. Into the dull eyes Of Muir
ply. the slayer. came light as though
suddenly he had realized what the YER
dict Of the twelve meant; that be nov
faces desth for his action that Sunday
morning when he ran down tls steps Of
his home. accosted the woman who had
spurned his love. and. smiling, shot her
in the back.
! Judge Bliss set the case for next
Monday. On that day Murphy will be
called to face jury on charge of
murder in the first degree. To this
charge it is not believed he has any
strong defense. He has not denied the
crime. and there srs score Of wit
nesses who will tell how he shot the
girl to death ~ she walked home from
church.
The case will be bitterly fought.
