was found guilty Of the murder of
Deputy Harp by the jury which was
out all night Dietz' wife and son
Leslie included in the charge, are ac-
quilted. Detz was sentenced to life
imprisonment. Judge Reid per-
cmptorially denied Dietz' request for
a retrial. Harp was killed october s
during an attack of 100 deputies on
Dietz' cabin when he resisted evic-

property.
Dietz took the sentence without a
tremor. Judge gave him ten days to
appeal to the supreme court AS he
was led from the court room, Dietz
shouted "If the lumber trust must
have n victim, | can stand it."
His wife wept and his son smiled.
Dietz when asked to talk said he
would not have been convicted had
he been allowed to tell anything of
the conspiracy against him. He said
he was right when he defended his
home.
Mrs. Dietz and her son will be tried
later for assault, the charges grow
ing out of the troubles at Cameron
dam.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST CAPITAL
NURSE OF DIR. LATSON
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE TODAY

New York, May 13.-Alta Marhe-
ka, a nurse aide of DR.. w. C. Latson,
who was mysteriously shot to death
in his Riverside apartment here, at
tempted suicide today by gas. She
was found unconscious in the bath
room of the house in which she lived.
She will probably recover. Latson
taught her and others who were in
fluenced by his accultism that there
Is no such thing as death. When
he died she said he merely changed
his life's form and that she would re-
join him. Her rooms bore many
notes and epigrams showing that she
loved the doctor deeply. Despite her
assertion that the doctor killed him
self, it is certain that another hand
sent the bullet into his brain.

TAFT ATTEMPTS TO
RECONCILE ROOSEVELT

Washington May 13.-In the Sc
lection of Henry Stimson of New
York as secretary of war, vice Dick
inson, resigned, is seen here today as
a move on Tafts part to attempt a

1t is believed THAT Taft consulted
Roosevelt and Root before selecting
Stimson. The reports that Dickin-
son resigned because of friction with
Knox over the Mexican situation is
discredited.

REFUSES TO SET ASIDE
 VERDICT IN HORSE CASE
judge Reed Hands Down Long Memo randum of Decision on the Motion.

On Tuesday Judge Reed handed down decision denying the motion to set aside the verdict in the case of Thomas Howe vs. George c. Raymond and others, known as the Knoll Re- ward case. In the memorandum he says:
 This case has been in the courts for more than 15 years and tried to the jury4 three times. It is stated that at the second trial the jury stood 10 to ? in favor of the plaintiff. If it is so then 34 out of 36 men have found in the plaintiffs favor. That alone would cause me to hesitate before setting this verdict aside and thus necessftate another trial.
 It is perhaps not extravagant to say that it Is nearly as important that the case be disposed of. as how it Is dis posed of.
 If the verdict is a conclusion to V hich 12 honest men, acting fairly and intelligently, might come, then turbed. It is only when the verdict is manifestly and palpably against the evidence, so much so as to indicate that the jury was swayed by passion, ignorance, partiality or corruption, that it should be set aside.
 Whether the transaction was a fraud upon the defendants by Reynolds, the payee of the notes, is only one element trolling element Is. whether the plain tiff took them with the knowledge of the fraud.
 It Is claimed that he knew of Key holds methods from the fact that he had knowledge of a similar transac- tion in New London, where men were asked to subscribe and form a com pany like this, and that notes were given in the same way, and the same kind of blank agreements filled out as in this case. But there is no evidence that I recollect to show that these notes were fraudulent.
 The jury probably thought that af- ter signing and issuing these notes 1t would be no great injustice that they should pay them, and on the whole cannot say that in this they have shown either passion, ignorance. par tiality or corruption
 The verdict was for s1,332.4s. It is not improbable that the case will be taken to the supreme court, where 1t has been before.
