JACKSON AFTER ORR.
He Tells the Atchison Representative
TO Go Slow.

3.
Former Attorney General Jackson has
issued the following statement in reply
to the second Orr resolution introduced
in the house of representatives:
Among the other willfully false
statements made by Orr in the resolu-
ton brought up in the house yester-
day, and the willful Justification of the
auditors reports and other records
made by said Orr in said resolution,
was an attack on Hon. G. w. Trickett,
the assistant attorney general who, in
Attorney General CoIemans admins
tration, began the first real work of
law enforcement in the state. This mat
ter was completely threShed out in the
courts at the instigation of the law
breakers of Wyandotte county long ago
and there is no excuse for airing it
again now, except for cheap political
clap-trap, of which Mr.. Orr seems en-
tirely capable.
THE man who made the charges
against Mr.. Trickett. before was found
by the supreme court of the state to
be liable to diSbarment and the court
held that it would disbar him except
for his apology and the belief that he
had been miSled. 1t may be we'll for
Mr.. Orr to consider that this man had
not openly acknowledged upon the floor
of the house that he had violated his
oath of office and his oath as practic-
ing lawyer, or the court might not have
been SO lenient.
Mr. Trickett states that his total re-
ceipts in cash. less expense, for secret
service, have been less than $1,000 and
that there are still old claims for fees
on the records of Wyandotte county
which he would be glad to assign for
the sum of $4,000, and that he will make
a deed to Mr.. Orr or to any other per-
son for $4,000 to every piece of real es-
tate that has been sold to satisfy costs
and charges in Wyandotte county. The
county was interested in these fees as
well as Mr.. Trickett. Mr.. Trickett
prosecuted over 1,400 cases in four and
one-half years for which service he re-
ceived not exceeding $14.50 per case.
This, however, is not all the compen-
sation Mr.. Trickett received for his
work in favor of law enforcement. In
addition to what is stated above the
enemies of law enforcement burned two
pieces of property belonging to MIR.
Trickett; set fire to his house and the
same was extinguished at o'clock in
the morning; several attempts were
made to dynamite his home and Mr..
Trickett was compelled to employ Sc
cret service men to guard his house day
and night. The anxiety caused by this
personal attack on Mr.. Trickett caused
his wife to become seriously i'll and for
more than a year she was under the
care of q doctor and trained nurse.
These are few of the compensations
man receives for prosecuting liquor
cases under the old regime to which
Mr.. Orr seems so anxious to return

NAN EWING IS FREE.
Jury in District Court Acquits Her of
Murder.

Nan Ewing, the morphine fiend tried
for the murder of Joseph Rice, an old
soldier, by giving him a dose of the
drug. was acquitted by a jury in the
district court at o'clock last night.
The jury was out three hours. The
first ballot on murder in the first de-
gree stood nine to three for acquittal.
The verdict of not guilty is consid-
cred decisive victory for the two
young attorneys, George T. McDer-
mott and Hugh Mcfarland, who were
appointed by the court to defend the
woman. They fought the prosecution
throughout every step for five days
and old lawyers could not have done
better
On the other hand, the case is the
first which the new county attorney,
Ernest Simon, and his assistant, James
A. Mcclure, have lost They are good
losers, having expressed themselves
as satisfied with the verdict inasmuch
as the jury is the judge in such cases.
But the state could not reasona bly,
expect conviction under the charac-
ter of testimony obtainable. The only
evidence that Nan Ewing ever gave
Rice morphine was the testimony of
George Stovall. whose visage Attorney
MeDermott described as the most
vicious he had seen in any American
CITY, This witness denied in the pre-
liminary hearing that he knew any
thing about the case although he ad
mitted he had been in the house at
127 North Monroe when the old man
died. In this trial, he took the stand
with detailed story of the poisoning
Even then he would not say that the
woman intended to kill the old soldier
but wanted to put him to sleep SO she
could rob him.
The other evidence which the state
had was the confession of Nan Ewing
made in the county Jail. This the de-
Tense showed had been Influenced by
the promise of morphine if she went
to the penitentiary and by the knowl-
edge that it would free her husband
from suspicion.
The greatest weakness found in the
states case was that no autopsy had
morphine poisoning and the defense
showed that the death might have oc-
CURED in the same way from a dozen
causes. Moreover, they set up by ex-
pert witnesses that even if Nan Ewing
had given the old man morphine she
was irresponsible for the act and
virtually insane. having been on a
"morphine spree" at the time.
Nan Ewing had been locked in the
date of Rice's death and her arrest.
On October Is, 1910, she was given
her last morphine cube and voluntarily
quit the drug by telling the jailer new
ed to brig her another. On the wit
ness chair which she occupied for
full day during this trial, the woman
swore never to touch it again and new
er to take another drink of liquor.
Whether she will return to her hus-
band, who induced her to confess in
order. that he might go free, is not
known. She was taken away from
the Jail by Gland Stroud. a son by a
former marriage
