CONSIDERS
&c. ORMSBy'S CHARGES
Undecided Whether to Investi-
gate Local y. S. At
torney's Office.

No decision as to whether or not it will
probe the administration OF the local
United States attorneys Office has been
reached by the Senate committee that is
investigating the administration Of the
criminal law. particularly the third de-
gree" methods Of the police. The men,
bers will get together within a day or so,
go over the charges and answers put be-
fore them in executive session and then
determine whether or not the committee
has jurisdiction or whether or not the
case warrants their attention.
For several hours last night the COM
mittee listened to the presentation of the
charges by George +. Ormsby, local
attorney. and to the answers to the
charges made by United States Attorney
Clarence r. Wilson. Not only did Mr..
Ormsby put his specific claims in writ
ing. but he also took with him before
the committee large number of docu-
ments. including court records and other
papers bearing upon them. Earl AM
brose, who at one time acted as the at
torney FOR Mr. Ormsby. was also present
during the hearing.
Mr.. Wilson reviewed at length what he
and his subordinates had done in court
he was subjected to many inquiries from
members Of the committee.
Senator Brandegee, chairman OF the
committee. refused TO-DAY to divulge the
exact nature Of the charges which have
been brought
III the committee decides to go into
the matter. they will become public at
the hearings" he said. Unless there is
an investigation, j don't think the charges
ought to go out over the community

.F|RST-DECREE MURDER
|SST|[L CAPITAL CRIME
Death Penalty Not Modified or
Altered by New Dis
trict Code.

The new penal code which became
operative January 1, 1910. did not
change the provision of the District
code which provides the death penalty
only as a result of verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree, accord
ing to the decision Of Justice Wright
IN Criminal Court No. 1. today, at the
trial of James Anderson. colored.
charged with the murder of Virginia
Johnson. also colOred.
The homicide occurred in Dingman
place, near Union station. July IL slast.
1t is alleged in the indictment that
Anderson stabbed the woman on the
left breast, INJECTING a wound which
is said to have caused death six days
later.
Plea Of Defense.
Former United States Attorney u. w.
Baker and Attorney James \. O'Shea are
defending the prisoner They raised the
point that the provision of the new penal
code permitting juries to qualify their
verdicts of guilty of first-degree murder
by adding the words without capital
punishment is in force in the district OF
Columbia and changes the provision of
the District code, which provides the
death penalty only. The question arose
when counsel for the defense asked a
member of the jury panel il he had any
tiary punishment for murder. Justice
Wright held the question inadmissible
and made the ruling mentioned.
The regular panel was exhausted
shortly after noon without securing
jury and the trial was adjourned until
tomorrow morning. Additional tales
men were summoned for tomorrow.
United States Attorney Wilson and
Assistant United States Attorney Tur-
ner are conducting the prosecution.

GETS PAINTING OF HORSE.
Kentucky Thoroughbred Adorns Of.
foe of Commissioner Judson.

A fine oil painting of Kentucky thor
oughbred is adjoining the mantelpiece in
the Office of Commissioner JuLson at the
District building today. The background
is a Kentucky pasture, with plenty OF
fine blue grass, while the animal itself
has chosen a particular corner In the
stone fence. where most likely a beauti-
full Kentucky maiden will be along soon
to feed her pet with a fine plump ear Of
Kentucky corn.
The manner of Commissioner Judscn's
acquisition of the painting is this:
He was out with Representative Ben
Johnson Of Kentucky q few days ago,
and the two began talking about horses

SHOCKING
To The Moral Sense Is The
Divorce Evil
"Lex' Again Takes Pen In
Hand On Subject
Mt. Vernon, O., Dec. %.


Editor Banner
With your indulgence, let me add
a few more words to my communica-
ton of the 21st inst, in view of the
report in your last evenings issue of
the action of the Knox county bar as
sociation in the matter of uncontest-
ed divorces. The claim put forth that
any action would reflect on the Knox
county bar is all rot. In other courts
in this state and other states such ac-
tion has been taken and both the
bench and bar have welcomed 1.-THE
only objection after its trial coming
from a certain class of attorneys who
make a specially of rapid transit"
divorces; and who are known in city
parlance as "police court shysters"
and Ambulance chasers"
The Knox county bar will simply
be placing itself in line with advanced
legal practice. Forty legal cases In
docket of cases of all kinds that num-
any community, and where can we
hope for better things in this regard
except from the legal fraternity?
To the credit of the local bar it can
be said that there are some honorable
members of it who use every legiti-
mate means to dissuade parties from
M hn %
but in the language of the day-there
are others.
The members of the local bar must
know that all over this country the
cry is being raised against dilatory
tactics in court procedure and yet the
local bar practiced this yesterday
when it refused to meet the question
| at issue face to face, but postponed
it to later day. Let us hope that
the holidays will aid in clearing the
vision and when the subject comes
up again there will be practically
unanimous vote to do something to
lessen the divorce evil and keep the
American legal fraternity, as voiced in
the last Ohio state bar meeting as well
as in, the national meeting.
Judge Taft's advice is good when he
said, BE a man first and a lawyer
afterwards and never let love of lucre
overrule the love of the law"
1t would be well also to recall
Coke's words, Reason in the. life of
the law; nay, the common law is moth
ing else but reason" Also Johnson's
saying, "The law is the last resort of
human wisdom acting upoa human
experience for the benefit OF the pub.
lic"; and above all the words of our
own Webster, Gentlemen, the lava
has hOnored us; may we honOr It,"

CONFESSION
Of SeIby Is Now Reported
As A Fact
Believed That Re,,,Was Used
As Tool By others

Centerburg, o., Dec. a3-'Rhe rumoE
that Glenn Selby confessed his having
had hand in the burglary and fire
at this place several days age, it is re-
ported has been verified as a fact.
AS was stated Friday in giving the re-
ports that were current concerning
the confession, Selby talked consider
ably, especially to Mr.. u. n. Mcclure,
whose store was burned after the
burglary, and, it is said, implicated
several other persons.
Thus far no other arrests have been
made in the case, but the officers are
working day and night to round up
those of the alleged gang who have
not yet been apprehended.
Selby is only about eighteaa years
OF age and was evidently OF too weak
will to withstand the pointed ques-
tions that were put at him by the in
quisitors. 1t is believed that ON ac,
count of his weak mentality that he
was taken advantage of by the others
and was used as tool by the more
criminally inclined to carry out their
nefarious work.
