MAC FARLAND'S
STORY ATTACKED
BY LEHLBACH
First Assistant Prose
.cut0r Makes First
Argument for State.
tcontinued from Second Page,

=
First Assistant Prosecutor Fred r
Lehlbach. gave the first argument for
the prosecution, speaking for half an
hour. He said in part:
'.In opening the case for the State
1t becomes my duty to outline the
evidence upon which the State re-
lies to sustain the indictment for
murder. will not attempt to antici-
pate or meet in advance the defense.
There are no eye witnesses in this
case, except babe too young to
. know what was happening.
Murder by poison is the most in
sidious, the meanest, the hardest to
guard against; it is a form of murder
different from the act of violence In
that It is necessarily a result of plot
ting and planning and involves neces-
sarily preparation and hiding of
tracks of the perpetrator; and it does
not depend upon fixed time or a
fixed place when and where death
shall occur. The poisoner lays his
plans and weaves the web UNDER
handed like; for an instance, the
case of the poisoner who takes from
box of quinine pills a few and sub
stitutes for them like pills of deadly
poison and then sets the box within
the reach of the victim. Then he
only bides his time, not knowing ex-
Rctly When or where the victim falls
prey to his design But nevertheless
is he guilty In the eyes OF humanity
and in the eyes of the law as if he
had shot the victim to death in the
victim presence with a gun.
Murderer Is Moral Degenerate.
"a murder by the very nature of 1t
Is the act of a moral degenerate. II
by reason of the fact that this very
scrilne admits of the presence of no
eyewitnesses the absence OF the
posoner himself should rebound to
his benefit, the community would
never be safe.
You must have in case of this
sort character capable of commit
ting murder; you must have motive
strong enough to induce him to COM
NIT the murder; you must have

tended victim in order to carefully
plan the method. You must exclude
in case of this kind death by the
deceased's own design. Now il there
is anything that is certainly true in
this case it is the fact that Mrs
MacFarland never dreamed of taking
her own life. You have had a letter
written by Mrs. MacF'arland shortly
before her demise In which she dis
cusses details of her home life, dis
cusses the fact that her huband had
gone to New York, talks about her
feighbors, about trivial affairs Of her
children and finishing bys saying that
abe is going out to mail the letter, and
then she is going to bed. Writing
that letter was her last act and 1T Is
inconceivable how anybody could read
that letter and have the slightest

Will Survey Public Lands.

HELENA, Sept. 21.-F. NJ. johnson,
supervisor OF public land surveys. who
was in Helena today, said that ap'
proxim asely $500, 900 acres of public
land will be surveyed in this state this
year, at a saving of one-third over the
cost under the old contract system.
About II, 900, 900 acres have been sur
veyed under this new system, said Mr..
johnson. In addition, S100, 900 worth
of field equipment has been purchased.
This new method is much more ex.
peditious and the work far more eff
cient. In Montana this season about
1850, 900 acres of land will be survey
ed, q greater quantity than In any
other state. This is because of the
special 800, 900 appropriation obtain
ed for Montana in 1910, which was In
addition to the states allotment from
the regular appropriation.

Railway and Power Company are
as follows. For, 100 votes, and
$99,S10 assessment; against, III

almost luminous vote in favor Of

surprise to everybody. Presidens
A. G.. Barrow was here all day

spirit and the thirst of rebellion
with us and we accomplished our
work in most thorough fashion.
We were bent on a peaceful in
vasion and succeeded with a
complete confiscation of Soil

We staged an entire new comedy
