DEMOCRATS FAIL
IN JUDICIAL. WORK
Records of Supreme Court
Justices Contrasted to
Disadvantage Of the
Den1mies
REASON FOa new COURT

Denver Nov. ia resume of the
work done by the Colorado supreme
court from January, 1909, the date when
the democrats gained control of that
body, to the present time shows that
it has written $50 opinions of which
number 229 We're written by Judges
Campbell and Gabbert. Three hundre |
and ten were written by the five demo
cratic judges, thirteen were written By
Judge Garrigues and in twenty-cight
cases they We're signed per curiam. Di-
vided among the judges the opinions
were written as follows: Per curiam
IS, which means that all the judges
concur without allowing the author OF
the opinion to be known; White, 10
Daily 90, Steele As, Hill 72, Musser a,
Campbell Ill, Gabbert lis and CARR
CUES Is. 1t must be remembered that
Gabbert is the chief justice and as such
has to attend all hearings of every kind
and nature 1t should also be remem-
bered that Judge Campbell has been
i'll for over seven months and has not
been in attendance.
Notwithstanding the fact that Judge
Campbell has been i'll third of the
time in which the court has been in
session these two men have come with
in 81 of writing as many opinions as
the five democratic members
Judge Steele died a little over year
ago and at the time of his death had
written as many opinions as Campbell
and Gabbert up to that time. Justice
Garrieues has shown in the short timn
he has been in office his disposition to
dispose of work which is Characteristic
of him. He was only elected at the
last election. But the other judges are
only writing a little less than half the
number that are being written by the
republican judges A study of the fig
ures will show that the reason the court
is running behind and that there is a
demand for the court of appeals is be-
cause the democratic members are eth
er unable or unwilling to deliver the
goods when it comes to the work. Were
the democratic members to do the same
amount of work that Judges Campbell
and Gabbert do the court would be
gaining on the docket instead of losing
and the court of appeals would be un-
necessary.

early this morning paid the penalty for
the murder of his young wife last July.
He declared to his spiritual adviser,
Rev. John J. Fix, that he had made his
peace with God and was ready to mee.
the demands of justice. He made tbs
following confession of his guilt which
was given to the press soon after the
physicians had pronounced life extinct.
81 confess my guilt of the awful
crime with which was charged. MANY
of the details as published in the news

remains that committed the brutal
crime, for which am now truly sorry.
I believe / have made my peace with
God, whom am soon to face and ssk

MAJOR DeLAN WINS BOND SUIT

Major S. ]. DeLan of this city has
been successful in his suit in favor of
a number of eastern clients in the col
lection of a large amount of state war
rants issued in payment. of the Pea
body war debt of few years ago. The
people of the state by their votes au-
thorized an issue of bonds to take up
these warrants amounting to nearly
million dollars. but the Denver Post
claimed that the constitutional amend
ment authorizing the bond issue had
not been legally carried and secured en
injunction against the issuance of the
bonds
Judge Greeley w. Whitford last We'd
nesdav set the Injunction aside and It
is said that the bonds will now be
issued without further delay. This
splendid victory will mean much to
Major DeLan who has many friends in
Glenwood and Garfield county who will
be glad to hear of his good fortune.

GLENwooD SPRINGS, COLORADO SATURDAY, \
ROSE M'DoNALD RETURNS
FROM UTAH

Miss Rose Mcdonald has recently re.
turned from her ranch near Roosevelt,
Utah, in the Uintah reservation, and
she is more than ever pleased with that
country and the development it has
made in the past few years. She says
oats>yicld from 60 to 100 bushels to the
acre on that new land and that wheat
and barley and other crops yield heav-
lily.
A great industry in that country is
bee culture and Miss Mcdonald says
it is not unusual for colony of bees
to produce from $50 to 200 pounds of
honey in a season. The valley around
Nernal is wonderfully productive and
Miss Mcdonald expects that soon it
will rank second only to our own "a
nous Grand valley. 1t is expected
that some changes in the county lines
will soon be made and that Roosevelt
viii be made the county seat of Washoe
county.

Mamie Mitchell Convicted Of Stealing
I Cattle. ..burdette Smith Guilty Of
Murder in Second Degree
j. B. MCCORMICK NOW ON TRIAL

low voice recited the details of the
terrible tragedy of last August when
the prisoner, in her home and in her
presence, lifted shotgun and shot to
death her husband and his father, after
threatening to do so but half hour
before, threat which she says she did
net believe he would carry out.
Rev Horace Mann, who was the first
person to reach the Smith home after
the tragedy, and DR.. and Mrs. Beale
who were present at the death of Mr..
Smith little over an hour after tine
shooting. were witnesses for the prose-
cution as was also Roy Cuttings, a play
mate of the prisoner. Mr.. Cuttings was
at the Smith home but a short time
before the tragedy took place and
heard the dispute between the boy ard
his father which brought on the killing.
He recited the threats which the bov
made to him against his father, but
savs he did not think the boy would
act upon these terrible threats. He
haG not gone far toward his home when
the tragedy occurred and he heard the
"a, 4. shot
FT,ertdtte Sinisii, The iprisones, has
been an epileptic for years and Judge
Beardsley, his attorney, claimed the
boy was not responsible at the time Of
committing the act. The prisoner In
his own behalf claimed on the stand
that he had no recollection of killing
his father, but this claim was disputed
by Mr. Mann and Mrs .Beale, both of
whom testified that he tried to discuss
the matter with them and explain the
deed soon after they reached the house.
but neither of these witnesses would
listen to him as they were busy in ad-
ministering to the immediate needs of
Mr. Smith.
The jury doubtless took into consid-
Grafton the physical condition of tho
prisoner who is not yet 16 years old,
and brought in a verdict of murder in
the second degree, leaving the penalty
to be fixed by Judge Shumate.
AS the Post goes to press the case Of
the People versus J. B. Mccormick is
on. The defendant is accused of de-
frauding George SEWERS of $1,000 in an
insurance deal. SEWERS claims the de-
fendant sold him stock in one insurance
