MRS. STANNARO CONFIDENT
AS HER TRIAL GETS UNDER
WAY IN ONTONAGON
Woman Accused of Poisoning
Husband Is Sure Jury Will
Say She Is Not Guilty.
LIFE STORY WINS FRIENDS
People In Her Section Withhold
Judgment and Want Her To
Have Fair Trial.

ONTONAGON, Mich, Oct. 1S.-Not'
withstanding that the shadow of a
crime was hanging over Mrs. Laura
Stannard when her trial on a charge
OF poisoning her husband. started In
earnest this morning, she was conf
dent that the jury would remove the
dark suspicion that has rested upon
her for some time by returning YER
dict of not guilty.
The developments since Mrs. Stan
nard was arrested have been the most
interesting topics OF conversation In
this district, where Mrs. Stannard has
been known from girlhood. There are
many intricate elements in the chain
of circumstantial evidence the prose
cution has wound around her, and the
general sentiment Is that Judgment
should be withheld pending a fair and
impartial trial. The prisoners lie
story, replete with interesting details
OF her struggle against the obstacles
that had been placed in her path by
her husbands drinking habits, has
aroused general sympathy.
The Jury was secured easier than
was anticipated, the defense making
no peremptory challenges. Thirty
men were excused for cause and the
state peremptorily challenged seven.
The Jury contains six Americans. four
Scandinavians and two Germans hVe

WICKERSHAM WOULD
APPLY PAROLE TO LIFERS

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 18.-In the
battles Of economic forces for supre-
macy, the law must be obeyed, even
though 1t seems to favor one class as
against another. This view was ex-
pressed by Atty.-Gen. Wickersham in
a speech before the American Prison
association here last night.
Punishment In some form, declared
the attorney-general. is still necessary
to prevent crime. "This Is especially
the case" he addedA "in a community
and at a time when divers economic
forces are struggling with each other
for mastery in the state, and where
laws are enacted through the infiu-
ence Of one class or classes to con-
troll the action Of another class who
are unwilling to accept them as
rules OF action, because unconvinced
of the wisdom Of justice OF the legis-
lative policy which they embody."
Modern penal legislation, he said,
Is based on a recognition OF the ex-
pediency of endeavoring TO reform
the criminal and so great stress
has been laid on that feature In deal
ing with criminals. that I'VE some
times forget that In order that pun
ishment may act as deterrent upon
others Il must appear as badge OF
disgrace, and not simply the bestowal
OF benevolence."
Mr.. Wickersham favored the ex-
tension of the parole law to include
life prisoners. He regarded II as an
incongruity that prisoners sentenced
IN long terms for vicious crimes
should be eligible for parole, when
the man convicted of second degree
murder must remain in prison for life.

VEN|REMEN IN >M'NAMAR
TRIAL VANISH RAPIDLY
Both Sides Use Fine-Tooth Comb
In Selecting Jury To Try
Labor Leader.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 49,
Despite the fact that six veniremen
nave already been passed by the de.
tense In the Mcnamara case for
cause, 1t was made absolutely certain
by today.s developments that only one
John w. Roberts, has possible
chance Of remaining through the trial
His fate is still undecided as far as
the state is concerned, but he prob
ably, will be challenged because he
told Darro wthat, after experiences
with the operation of non-union
glass factory and after personal in
Vestigations in Muncie and other In
diana cities, he was convinced the
best men in the trade are within the
union ranks. Therefore he union
lied his factory. He also said that
inasmuch as capital Is organized,
labor should have exactly the same
right.
The defense today impeached ven
ireman H. Y. Quackenbush, who swore
he never had an opinion of the guilt
or innocence of Mcnamara, or as to
how the Times was destroyed. The
defense produced witnesses who al
legged Quackenbush openly asserted
that unions are inimical 10 the world g
progress, that the McNamaras are
Guilty as hell, and ought to be tried
and hanged and II he had his way they
would be given short shrift,
Attorney Darrow stated TO the
court that he could prove these
thinga, and asked that Quackenbush
be excused for cause.
The state viii endeavor to remove
Robert Balm, A. r. Mcintosh, T. w.
naming veniremen, for cause when
given an opportunity to examine
them. Failing, II will challenge them
peremptorily.
Adams Is pioneer of the original
Alaskan gold rush. He reads Social
ist newspapers and told Attorney
Darrow, when asked II he was opin-
donated against unions, that working
men had the right to organize all over
the world, or they would be discrim-
mated against.
Mcintosh is a former member Of the
bankers union and now a proprietor.
He told Darrow. he believed. from his
knowledge of labor conditions, that
he could hardly expect, as a fair jur.
or, not to discriminate against the
state.
Later he amended this, saying he
would trv to give a fair trial. The
state will try to remove him for
cause.
Balm, also is a carpenter, and for
mer union man. He Is considered a
union sympathizer and therefore in
imical to the state. Mckee Is report
ed to have expressed the opinion that
II was impossible that II was dyna-
mite that destroyed the Times.

Der OF those remaining on the present
venire desire to remain on The jury
because they are men who, at this
season Of the year have little to do
and thew also realize that this prob
ably will prove the most sensational
criminal trial Of the century.
Judge Bordws!l, realizing the I'M
portance Of securing a fair and I'm
partial Jury, Is giving both sides the
widest latitude ever gi"en in case

Charles F. Swan, how business men

that he could get rid of some OF II.

is FIRST REAL BATTLE

HANKoW, Oct. 1s.-The h.rst real
battle OF the rebellion is In progress
north OF here where the rebels have
commenced fierce attack on the i'm.
perial troops. Since dawn, heavy fir.
Ing has been continuous. Many
wounded are being brought into Han
kow, attended by a Red Cross detach.
ment organized among the foreign
residents.
The imperial force consists OF
about 1000 men who occupy a strong
ly entrenched position. They were
waiting for reinforcements before at
tacking the rebels but the latter took
the initiative and at sunrise marched
from their camp In front OF WI Chang
and made simultaneous attack upon
the imperial troops and the gunboats
In the river, which they shelled from
long range. The warships replied but
very ineffectively and were finally
driven to take refuge behind the for
eign fiotilla. Two of the Chinese
boats were badly damaged and are
reported to be in a sinking condition.
There are persistent reports here
that Nanking and Kiu-Kiang have Ial-
len into the hands Of the rebels but
confirmation Is impossible to obtain.
The clash between body OF Ger
man marines and the mob, which oc-
CURED here yesterday, has had very
bad effect. II is difficult to ascertain
exactly what caused the trouble but
several Chinese were killed by the
marines and there Is grave danger
that the natives will attempt re-
prisals.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 1S.-The people
are greatly excited here over reports
of great rebel successes and an upris-
ing is imminent. The American ana
British consuls have teleghaphed for
warships to protect the foreign con-
cessions and numbers OF the white
residents are preparing to leave the
city.
The imperial troops who hold the
Woo Sung forts are strongly disaf-
fected and II there Is an uprising In
the town 1t will probably be followed
by a mutiny In the forts. Practically
all communication with the interior
