COULDN'T BEAT JOHN BARLEY

Anthony Trentman, of Fort Wayne, has told his own story of the shoot of Howard Bruce. It was the million ares first statement directly con- corning the affair To drink he at trlbuted the ghastly end to his ca reer. It was told in words that have been spoken by thousands whose hands and brain have been fired to crime by the inspiration of liquor. IL was sermon on temperance from a man who has been a thinker all his life.
 Nobody can beat whiskey," he said. T thought, like lot of men, that I could take it or let it alone. But it gets everybody. l laughed at them last year when 1 got over that sick spell and they told me to leave the stuff alone or I would have a quick finish. I thought 1 was too strong. My body was.''

For the first time I have to admit that whiskey is stronger than I am, and it is too late now"
 In all his talk there was no refer ence to the insanity plea that his at torneys are building up for him. When it was mentioned Trentman was indignant. I'm not crazy" he said. They won't try to make out that I'm insane"
 The egotism of the man is exactly what the lawyers plan to show caus- ed his downfall. That and the pet ting he received of the folks of Fort Wayne, their toleration of his widest acts, gave the man the petulant tenn per of a spoiled child.
 Not alone to his wealth and promi nent position is the respect of Fort Wayne folks for Trentman credited They remember when his wife was practically an invalid for years before her death. Trentman attended heI with dog-like devotion, all his spare time in those years being passed al her side.

But one that paled all his previous impositions was made when. from being a baron and some times answering to the cognomen of Bernard. he blossomed out into the Dauphin of France, and laid claim to the throne
 If he was not successful in his claim, II was certainly not for any lack of necessary funds. for the Marquise of Grigny, lady of eighty two, gave him all her available money, and was ready to assign to him her estates when the law inter- posed
 When on trial he asserted that he had been smuggled out of the Tenn pie in clothes-b basket and another child who was always supposed to be and was buried as the Dauphin, put in his place.
 Part of the evidence that put an end to all his claims was made by himself, in the shape of diary which he kept in a cypher. and through which the authorities were able to show that his real name was d'Hebert.
 But the real evidence which con victed him is worthy to be recorded as it is not only evidence but inter- esting. first-hand. history. It was given by an old man. bent, very deaf and whose voice was almost gone

OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING
 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This. like all other important ques- tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per- sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in its pages. allowing to each side at least a half column daily for signed articles, for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.
 It Is only stipulated that the com nunications for and against prohibi-
Arizona republican., 1914-05-12

tion be just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex- travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for good order.
 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- = tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.
 No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted.
