AND JUDGE FARRAND DECLARED
HE HOPED THE MURDERER
WOULD BE REMoRsEFUL

Oregon, ILL.,, Jan. 22.-Dr. Harry E.
Webster of Chicago today was SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment by Judge
Richard S. Farrand for the murder of
Bessie Kent Webster last October. In
pronouncing sentence the court re-
viewed the crime and declared that
no greater continuing punishment
could be inflicted on young, intelli-
gent man that to imprison him for
life"
The court said: Harry E. Web
ster, on the twelfth day of this month
the anniversary Of your bigamous
marriage with Bessie Kent, you en-
tered plea of guilty to the charge
of/murder. 1t then became the duty
OF the court to hear and consider
such testimony as might be offered in
mitigation or aggravation of the crime
committed. None was offered that
would in the least mitigate the Of
fense. Your attorneys have spoken
their last words in your behalf, and It
only remains for the court to impose
your sentence.
During the progress of your hear
ing two mothers sat before us. The
heart of one was bleeding as memory
recalled the suffering and death of
her daughter. The heart of the other
was wrung in agony because of the
acts of her living son. Which of the
two was suffering the greatest grief,
only mothers that have been down in
the dark valley of gloom and despair
can answer. All this has come be-
cause of your cruel act. Surely it
causes one to think deeply of the
tragedy of life and the mystery and
sorrow of death.
"The crime to which you plead
guilty, was a cruel and cowardly one.
Under the name of husband, you be-
guiled Bessie Kent to a lonely spot
where in childhood days you had pas
sed hours of pleasure and there in the
quietude you took her life. The brain
that conceived and the hand that in
flicted that mortal wound were train
ed and skilled in the use of the knife.
| With one blow the weapon penetrat-
ed vital part, and almost in an in
slant her life went out And I be-
lieve that while the warm blood was
still flowing from the gaping wound
you denuded her person and allowed
her body to lie on the cold ground and
the fall rains to beat on it during the
long days and lonely nights for two
weeks until by accident the body was
/ found in desolate ravine-her bed
of death-which you selected for her.
''In your bill of divorce, which was
dismissed as a fraud and imposition
on the court, you sought to blacken
the character of the dead. Aside from
the language in the bill, so filed, there
| is not a scintilla of evidence in the
sed hourh of pleasure and there in the
record justifying the conclusion that
pure girl up to the time you put your
debauching hands on her.
1T is the sentence of this court
that you be imprisoned in the peni-
tentiary at Joliet for and during your
natural life, the first day of that i'm
prisonment to be in solitary confine-
ment, the balance of the time at
hard labor and that you pay the costs
of prosecution"

PARTY KEPT IN TRUE COURSE
Chief Executive Takes Especial
Interest in News that Roose-
Welt Holds Separate Com
ventiOn of His Own.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 22.--Presi-
dent Taft tonight made the following
statement:
"A national convention Of one of the
great parties Is ordinarily important only
as preliminary to a national campaign
for the election of a president. The
Chicago convention just ended is much
more than this, and is in itself the end of
a pre-convention campaign presenting a
crisis more threatening and issues more
important than those Of the election cam
paign which is to follow between the two
great national parties.
THE question here at stake was whether
the republican party was to change it's
attitude as the chief conservator In the
nation Of constitutional representative
government, and was to weaken the con-
stitutional guarantees Of life, liberty and
property and all other rights declared
sacred in the bill of rights, by abandon
ing the principle of the absolute inde-
pendence Of the judiciary essential to the
maintenance of these rights. The cam
paign carried on to seize the republican
party and make 1t the instrument of reck-
less ambition and the unsettling of the
fundamental principles of our govern
ment was so sudden and unexpected that
time was not given clearly to show to
the people and the party the dangers
which confronted them. 1t was sought to
thN tuI naE fra1 in.,
against giving more than two terms to
any man in the presidency. and the
danger from its breach could not be
measured
Serious Menace Ayertcd.
THE Importance of the great victory
which has been achieved cannot be over
estimated. All over the country patriotic
people tonight are breathing more freely
that most serious menace to our repub-
Iican Institutions has been averted."
The president stayed on the links until
1t is not necessary tonight TO speak
of the result in November or of the
issues which will arise between the re-
publican and democratic parties in the
presidential campaign to follow. 1t will
be time enough to do that after the
action of the Baltimore convention. 1t is
enough to say that whatever may hap
pen in November, great victory for the
republican party and the United States
has already been won. The party re-
mains as great powerful organization
for carrying out its patriotic principles
as an agency of real progress in the
development Of the nation along the con-
stitutional lines upon which it was con-
structed and has ever been maintained; !;
and it's future opportunity for usefulness
is as great as its achievements In the
past"
President Taft declared tonight he was
much in favor of having his secretary,
