Back from New York

Leo K. Steiner has returned to Birming- ham after an absence of two weeks. He spent several days in New York, two or three days in Pittsburg and on his way home visited several other cities. In fact he took quite swing around the circle so to speak,
 "In New York I found the money mar ket uncommonly easy but capital is still hesitating. There are stacks of money ready to seek investment, channels as soon as confidence is fully restored. Ar optimistic feeling is beginning to manifest itself even in New York. which, as every. one knows, has had the blues for some. time past. My own opinion ise that we are about to enter upon a period of old time prosperity. There are unmistak able evidences of improvement all along the line
 "Pittsburg is a great, big city, and while there seems to be great deal of industrial life in the Pisrsburg district, l heard more talk there of business depres. sion in one day than I would hear ir Birmingham in months time. When reached home Birmingham looked to me better than ever.
 T feel sure that we will have a good summer here, and that business in every part of the country will. before a great while, start on a solid boom.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF DUKES

fixed at H2,000, which was supplied by the homicides stepfather.
 The prisoner was at once released and
 the trial was arranged to take place in March. 1883. It was begun on the 18th
 and the strongest point presented was the
 brutal letters that Dukes had written to
 Mutt regarding his daughter. On the sec- ond day of the trial 37 witnesses testified
 as to Dukes good character previous to the tragedy.
 The trial continued only three days and | the jury rendered verdict in favor of the prisoner and he was released The people of Uniontown were so indignant at the result that Dukes was hung in ef- fgy and it was necessary to protect the former prisoner from the angry mob. An indignation meeting was held by the cit
 lzens on the same day of the acquittal
 and petition was presented before the
 Fayette County bar to disbar Dukes as I a lawyer.
 The excitement gradually subsded, only | to be revived again on June 13, when James Mutt, the second son of the mur- dered man, shot the murderer of his father in front of the postoffice building
 at Uniontown, the body of Dukes being carried to the same room of the hotel in which little more than six months pre- viously the first tragedy had occurred l Dukes was killed almost instantly and young Mutt was arrested. An attempt was made to hold his trial in Uniontown
 in December, 1883, butt it was pimpossible
 to obtain a jury and the case was trans- l ferred to. Pittsburg. The trial was begun l in that city on January. II, 1884 and the attorneys for young Mutt entered a plea | of mot guilty" A number of witnesses :, were produced to prove that the prisoners
 mind had become unbalanced on account
 of worry over the oeath of his. father l and the disgrace of his sister,
 i The jury retired on January 21, 1884, | and a verdict of mot guilty was rem
 dered on the following morning. Judge Stowe signed the order for his release at once and James Mutt was judicially 1 declared sane and a free man. This
 verdict was received with as much ap- proval as had been the verdict of Dukes
 the reverse.

N ONE of the most deplorable trag- t edies of a purely personal char
 acter that has ever occurred in the United States, was enacted in the small city of Uniontown, Pa, more than 30 years ago. It was somewhat in the
 form of a family feud and eventually re- suited in double murder. On December
 24 1882, just as the Christmas church bells were ringing on Sabbath morning,
 Representative l.. N. Dukes a well known
 member of the Fayette County bar, and a member-eIect of the Pennsylvania leg islature, shot and killed Capt c. Mutt, in second tragedy occurred, when Nuts son, James, killed the slayer of his father.
 The high social and political standing of both men gave startling significance to the first tragedy. The cause of the trouble between the two men was Dukes infatuation for Nuts daughter, who was only IS years old at the time. He had pressed his attention upon her in disre-
 gard of the wishes of her parents. He was informed that he must cease making ooNdhScs, tO tHiS auIOnlllOn DuKeS sent Mutt several letters which the latter claimed quite offensive.
 These letters so angered Mutt that he called at the hotel to demand an expla- nation. Hot words at once ensued when Dukes suddenly drew a revolver from his pocket and exclaimed. You came in here to whip me, and so I'll shoot you" At this he carried out his threat. After Mutt had been shot he reached to
 his hip pocket and pulled out his revol- yer, but before he could fire he fell into
 the arms of two friends who had accom- panied him.
 Dukes walked calmly out of the room and to the office of the hotel and gave himself up, remarking, as he did so q am sorry that did it, but it was in self defense" Dukes was at once taken into
 custody. At the first hearing on Decem-
 Der 2s. Judge Wilson decided that the
 murder was unpremeditated and bail was
