Attorney Rosser began the
reading of the bias affidavits at
II o clock, Immediately after the
last of the lis reasons advanced
by the defense had been accepted
by the prosecution or revised by
Judge Roam. Most Of them had
been published in the news
papers.
New affidavits testified to the pres
ence in Albany, Ca, of Henslee on the
date he denied he was there Stiles
Hopkins, member of the Rosser e.
Brandon law firm. appeared at the
hearing with the register of the New
Albany Hotel bearing the signature OF
Henslee at the disputed time. This.
the defense contended, cIinched their
allegation that Henslee was there at
the time he is reported to have made
y
Among the remarks that Henslee
was alleged to have made before the
trial We're that he would like &c
break Franks neck" that he would
like TO bet a dollar that he would be
on the Frank jury; that he believed
Frank and no one else was guilty OF
the murder, and that if he was Sc
lected as a juryman he would do his
best to obtain a conviction.
Denounced Franks Race.
There were many denunciatory ref
erences to Franks race and one af-
fdavit charged Henslee with saying
that If the jury ever turned him loose
he would not get out Of town alive
Solicitor Dorsey repeated at the
hearing his charges that friends II
Frank and employees at the pencil
factory had so concealed and withheld
evidence during the murder mystery
as to be conclusive indication that the
defendant was the guilty person.
The defense was seeking to main
tain it's contention that the court WAS
in error for allowing testimony and
argument along this line when the
Solicitor reiterated his belief He ga id
that the apparent unanimity with
which friends and employees withheld
Information from the detectives made
1t convincing to his mind that there
was virtual conspiracy to protect

were embroiled in an argument over
the completeness with which the court
stenographers had entered the objec-
tons OF the defense during the trial.
Arnold maintained that the stenoz-
raphers in many instances had en-
tered in the record only the first OBJ
lection made by a lawyer for the de-
Tense and had disregarded the add
tional objections that might have been
made during the subsequen. argument,

Lees Testimony Again.
The point arose at the beginning OF
the review OF reasons which were left
unapproved from the first considera-
ton. The defense maintained that the
court erred IN letting in the testimony
Of Newt Lee that Detective John
Black had talked to him longer than
Frank, the Inference being that Frank
was not seeking to get the truth from
the negro. Arnold contended that OBJ
lection had been made at the time
on the ground that it was immaterial,
irrelevant, illegal prejudicial and a
mere conclusion.
Dorsey retorted that the only objec-
ton made then was that it was not in
rebuttal. At this juncture, Attorney
Arnold made the charge that the
stenographers at times got only one
part of the objection, missing what
might be made in the course of the
following argument. Stenographers
Teitlebaum and Freer were called and
sworn. Teitlebaum testified that he
reported the arguments Of counsel
in fun and later boiled them down."

A sudden change was made to- day
in the plans of the defense when Wil-
burn decided that he did not want to
take the stand and tell the jury bout
the killing of King.
No Test mony by Defense.
Wilburn had carefully planned a
statement. asserting self defense and
denying the confessions, but his coun-
sci advised him that there was no
element of self-defense in his case as
indicated by the testimony. Wilbur
then decided that he had better re-
main silent. Consequently, the de-
Tense did not offer any direct testi-
mony and allowed the evidence sub
mitted by the State to go to the Jury
unchanged except for cross examind-
ton.
Attorney Cooper made a motion for
a mistr!al upon the converting OF

TRY TAYLOR SYSTEM:

Aurora, ILL.,, Manufacturers May

Scientific" Methods.

AURORA. ILL.,. Jan. lett is stated
that number Of manufacturing es-
Establishments in this city and vicinity
are preparing to establish the "Tay-
lor system" in their factories.
AS Is we'll known, this system Is a
plan worked out whereby men are
timed on particular pieces of work
for the purpose of setting standard.
The standard is arrived at by COM
polling Workmen to work at break
neck speed. In a word, it is a scheme
for the purpose of compelling work
men to employ every ounce of physl-
cal energy in their makeup, with a
view to reducing the cost of manu-
facture, without a compromising in
crease to the workmen for greater
production.
1t is asserted that if this system is
inaugurated, serious difficulty will
likely follow, as has been the case in
nearly every instance where the So
called Taylor system" has been in
troduced.

UNIONS Celebrate
18TH anniversary
st. Louis Central Labor Union
Completes % Years of Useful
Existence.

ST. LOUIS. Jan. 16.-The Central
Trades and Labor union Of this city
celebrated Its 25th anniversary on
Saturday evening.
The organization of the Central
Trades and Labor union occurred in
1887, just subsequent to the time when
the general assembly Of the knights
Of Labor concurred in resolution to
compel the Cigarmakers' International
union to take it's choice between the
American Federation of Labor and
knights Of Labor.
Conspicuous among the men who
were among the early officers Of the
Central Trades and Labor union were
David Kreyling, cigarmaker, now
and for many years secretary: Philip
Hofher, another cigarmaker; Harry
Blackmore. carpenter; ]. P. Marnell,
printer; Owen Miller, secretary
treasurer of the American Federation
Of Musicians.
A charter was granted the organi-
zat1on by the A. F. of l.. in the year
Of it's organization in 1887. This
body is one of the most deliberatiye
and effective central bodies in the
United States.

orally conducted as was this case. The
common law, aided by occasional
statutes, has not been able to meet
effectively the strain put upon it by
rapidly changing industrial conditions
in dealing with the cases of injured
workmen: and often its administra-
ton has been ineffective and unsatis-
factory. To get $3.50 for Golik, when
he should have had more or nothing
1t has cost an equivalent amount in
fees and expenses paid to Mr.. De La.
Motto, and probably about an equal
amount in direct expense to the coun-
ty, counting just the IL men who sat
through the trial, was over $500. It
involved other public expenses and
1t may be assumed that the expense
to the defendants was large. Indi-
rectly there was the waste resulting
from the withdrawal of the jurors
and others necessarily attending the
trial from their usual lines OF pro-
duction.
The investigation Of a transaction
like this brings no pleasure. 1t Is
necessary, however, to give the evil
dence it's true effect and to face the
facts honestly. While things have
been done that cannot be tolerated,
which in the eyes of lawyer are be-
yond excuse or palliation or reason
able explanation, I cannot but feel
that Mr.. De La Motto has failed to
appreciate their actual significance.
The relation of attorney and client
is necessarily one of trust and con-
fidence, a fiduciary one The fidelity
of it cannot be preserved IL the attor-
ney regards himself as the mere as
signee Of a one-half Of a cause Of &C.

ASK GOVERNMENT TO
HELP ALIEN INSANE
New York State Expends Millions
to Care for Mental
Detectives.

ALBANY, Jan. 1.-THE states most
affected by the problem of the alien
insane have accepted an invitation TO
cooperate with this state in an effort
to induce congress to enact legisla-
ton designed to relieve the states Of
the burden of caring for the mental
detectives admitted to this country.
The state Of New York has had an
expensive experience with allen in
cane, and it is becoming a problem
of great magnitude. 1t is pointed out
that the next New York State legisla-
ture will be asked to appropriate
nearly s12,0o0,000 to care for the in
sane for 1913, an increase of approx
mately $S,500,ooo over last year.
Thousands Of insane patients cared
for by the state are aliens, and it is
assumed to be only fair that the fed
eral government, which controls en-
tirely the admission of aliens into this
country, should foot the bills for the
care of the mental detectives ad-
mitted.
