who did not testify before. gave details
Of his life in the" hospital and said that
for two weeks or more Kelly was un-

pital. In other words. he was clearly
insane before the tragedy occurred.
The case this time has not attracted
any attention locally: but it is inter-
esting because Of the undoubted abil-
ity of the young defendant. He had
been precocious boy, had worked his
way thru high school. then while liv-
ing at home and working a great deal
had gone thru medical college and
graduated at an age when he was not
yet old enough to receive his diploma.
There was also testimony in the case
indicating that the moral tone in the
medical college was very low and that
it was not expected that any student
would be able to get thru without in
dulging in Intoxicating liquors and 9TH
err things which were common in the
school, Kelly got his downward start
in the college and was unable to put
on the brakes until he had killed two

coNsTRUE CONTRACT AS WHOLE.
Supreme Court Lays Down Broad
Principle in Woodworth Case.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Nov. 27.-In deciding the
Woodwork damage case against the
Iowa Central and Minneapolis & ST.
Louis railway companies. the supreme
court laid down one broad principle of
much general interest. The plaintiff
had been awarded judgment for $4,000
in Mahaska county for loss of both
legs. The Iowa Central operated the
yards where the accident occurred but
now the Minneapolis owns the proper
ty. The latter company protested
against being a defendant in the case
and set up a clause in the sale con-
tract which undertook to free the Min
neapoliS company from all liability for
claims of this kind. 1t is a clause quite
common in transfers of the kind. But
elsewhere in the contract there is a
clause undertaking to transfer from
one company to the other all duties
and obligations of every kind. The
supreme court held that the contract
should be construed as whole and
that the first mentioned clause is null
and void because in conflict with the
broader one.

have been in constant attendance at the
trial.
DIR. Kelly was tried nearly two years
ago and the jury found that hewas in
sane at the time of the tragedy but
also decided he was guilty of man
slaughter An appeal was taken and
the judgment set aside.
In the meantime, owing to the fact
that another Indictment stands against
the young doctor which is not bail
able he was in restraint at the state
reformatory at Anamosa. His life
there has materially changed him and
he now looks very much older than he
did when first tried but also is plainly

Burlington, Nov. pa foreclosure
of the mortgage Of 100000 was filed
against the Muscatine North & South
railroad yesterday afternoon in district
court by attorneys for the German
Trust Company, of Davenport. The
trust company is trustee for the bond
holders, and, along with the foreclosure
action, asked that a receiver be APP
pointed at once to take over the man
agement of the road.
Judge Hale appointed Maurice
Daley, Of Muscatine, as receiver for
the company. His duties will start
Immediately and will continue until
the property is sold, or some other set
tlement be made Of the action filed. Mr.
Daley is the former general manager
of the company, and will act in that

similar action was filed some time
ago in the federal court ut Davenport,
but Judge Walter l. Smith ruled that
the federal court had no jurisdiction
in the matter on account of the plain

and the corporation operated solely in
this state, thus giving the state courts
the jurisdiction and taking it out of the
power of the United States court to
act
The ruling made it necessary for
the plaintiffs to file a new action and
they took that course.
The appointment of Mr.. Daley met
with the approval of all parties con-
cerned and the running of the rail-
road may be carried on indefinitely if
the business can be put on sound
paying basis.
