NO new TRIAL
Ericsson and Black Must De-
pend Upon Supreme Court.
Judge Whitcomb Denies Their
Application for New Trial.


new trial for H. c. Ericsson of To-
peka and @. w. Black of Council
Grove. convicted Of libeling Judge P.
b. Gillett Of Kingman, will be denied
according to the announcement of
Judge George H. Whitcomb, who heard
the trial of the case and later heard
arguments on motions for a new trial
and for an arrest of judgment.
In a lengthy Memorandum of his con-
illusions, copies of which have been SEM
to attorneys la the case. Judge Whit
comb cites us authorities, and an
nounces his ruling. The denial of the
motion will mean an appeal to the
supreme court, and as soon as the
ruling is entered on the books Judge
Whitcomb will be asked for stay of
execution until the appeal can be per-
fecteo.
Ericsson and Black, charged with E.
G. wilcox, county attorney of Harper
county, of Hbeling Judge Gillett,
were convicted here after one of the
most bitterly contested cases in the
history of the county. The accused
men were charged with a deliberate
plot and conspiracy to libel the King
man Judge The plot included aftida'
Wits of the jurist's alleged intimacy
with Leta Foster, a 17-year-old girl
according to the charges, that were
introduced in evidence, and the truth
of the affidavitS were assailed and, to
the satisfaction of the jury were dis
proved. The state charged that the
conSpirators, including the three men
tried, H. c. Medlock of Topeka and
Mrs. Charlotte Thomann of Summer
field, were leagued together for the
purpose of humiIiating and disgracing
the Kingman judge.
1t was on Kansas Day that the trou-
BILE started. Leta Foster was taken to
the National hotel, according to the
evidence, and later aff1davits to the eff
| feet that she had visited Judge Gill
let's room were made. The state
charged that Miss Foster did not en-
| ter Judge Gillett's room, and that the
affidavits were wilfully false. The af-
fdavits were sworn to before r. w
Eaton, a notary public, and later were
taken out of the city.
The trial of the case was held the
| middle of June, last, and lasted nearly
! two weeks. Some of the best legel
talent in the state was ranged on each
! side, and every bit of testimony Of
fered by either side was contested.
In handing down his conclusions
Judge Whitcomb decided that the
communications made to County At
torney Ernest r. Simon were not pri-
vileged~ as the defense urged, and that
even if they had been privileged the
defendants were not injured by the
county attorneys testimony, which he
held was in line with the testimony
of the defendants themselves. This
was the main point of contention.
1t is likely that the ruling in the
case will be handed down officially
today, and in the near future sentence
may be passed on the two men whom
the jury found to be guilty. The pen
atty that may be imposed under the
law consists in a fine, or imprison-
ment. or both. The offense charged
is not a felony and cannot be punished
by term in the state prison.

SAME OLD STORY.
This Norton Man Had BoIted Stubs
Before.

Governor Stubs returned this
morning from Jewell county where he
spoke at a big picnic with an esti-
mated attendance of 5000 persons.
He said he had q great time and shook
hands with more people than he has
ever done before in one day.
Going up to Jewell county, funny
incident occurred on the train.
A well known citizen of Norton in a
tantalizing way said to him:
well, governor we are going to
get you this year sure"
The governor is a good hand in
cases of this kind and he replied:
well, judge, / have been licked so
often during the last ten years, that I
rather enjoy it. BY the way, did you
vote for me two years ago."
The judge frankly admitted that he
didn't
did you ever vote for me?"
The Judge again frankly admitted
that he did not.
Tho governor saw the judges en-
barrassment and laughinly said to him
that he thought he ought to take off
the straight Republican League"
badge he was wearing until he could
say that he had voted once in four
years at least for the Republican can
didate for governor.
The governor admitted yesterday
that the incident occurred, substantial
iy as it is related, and added:
Now that is the real situation in
Kansas. The fellow who is blowing
most about his straight Republican
ism is the fellow who has been boiling
the Republican candidates"

TOMORROW THE DAY.
When the Straw Hat OhiciaIIy Gives
Way to Felt Headgear.

Saturday is the last day of the straw
hat season for eight long months, so
be ready to discard the straws and get
a new hat or dig up that old one you
wore last spring and have it put in
shape to wear.
1t doesn't make any difference about
the condition of the weather, Septem-
Der 1 is the time to put on a light felt
hat according to the dictates of FASH
ion. 1t is also the time to discard
those ice cream suits for something
darker.
Topekans are disagreed as to the
time to take off the light ones and put
on heavier ones. However, it is the con-
sensus of opinion that it will not be
necessary to do that until later-the
rule regarding straw hats and ice cream
suits being held not to apply. But the
time is coming soon now-for the
sunny one declares the warm weather
will soon give way to the hazy days
and then to the cold--when the light
cnes will be insufficient 10 keep the
average person warm.
So discard the straw hats and ice
cream suits, and be ready to don high
tops.

POLITICS AT FESTIVAL
Big Crowd Out for First of Three
Days Entertainment.

Frankfort Aug. 30.-The three
days session of the annual fall festi-
val began here today under the most
favorable circumstances, the only I'M
pleasant feature being the excessive
heat. An unusually attractive collec-
ton of amusements have been gather
ed around the city park where the
activities are centered. The program
provides for a Women's Suffrage day,
a Democratic day and a Republican
day. The ladies had charge of the
speaking program today, Mrs Lucia
o. Case of Topeka being the chief
speaker. She was given the closest
attention by a large audience.
Judge William H. Thompson, Dem
ocratic candidate for United States
senator, will DE the orator tomorrow,
and Colonel William F. Sapp will tell
about the Baltimore convention. The
Republican speakers have not yet been
announced. The attendance today was
in excess of the first day for any pre-

New YORK Stock rTarket.

Wall ST., New York, Aug. 30-STOCKS-
The extreme idleness of today's stock
market clearly reflected the influence OF
the approaching holiday. although the
Texas Indictment against Stanard Oil COM
panies and officials reported frost In the
Canadian belt, spreading opposition to
Canadian Pacific stock increase and the
Indictment of the president of a large New
England textile mil on labor conspiracy
charges offered food for reflection. Lead
ing issues held firm, however, the most
conspicuous being Louisville and Nash
vile whose heaviness expressed disap-
pofntrnent Of share holders at the 20 per
cent capital increase. TobaccoS were again
decidedly weak.
Bonds were irregular.
Stocks were dull with an irregular ten
dency at the opening of today's market.
Steel selling extra dividends gained
slight fraction with losses in Copper,
Northern Pacific and Louisville & Nash
VILE
Apart from its extraordinary dullness
the market presented no features other
Nashville and an abrupt decline in wooden
preferred.
Business was nominal around midday,
but the undertone was better with Union
Pacific in favor.
Some inactive specialties moved widely
including Omaha and Baldwin Locomotive
but the balance of the list was at a stand
still.
The market closed firm. Buying orders
were concentrated in few stocks in the
last hour. Union Pacific, Reading and
Erie moved up sharply. Elsewhere the
movement was perfunctory.

Aged Woman Badly Burned.

Erie, Kan, Aug. 30.--Mrs. Harriet M.
Tanner, aged 80 years, was the victim
of a very serious accident. While at
tempting to fumigate the house in
which she and a lady companion live
alone, her skirt caught fire and her
clothes were burned almost off her.
Her arms and lower limbs were very
painfully burned. Mrs. Tanner is a
widow and in spite of her age has
been doing her own work and getting
up town every Gay to do her shopping.
The prospects for her recovery are very
hopeful.
