THOMAS GOULD RE-ARRESTED
Court of Appeals Affirmed Decision
of Lower Court-Benham Made
Good in this as well as il,
Many Other Cases

The case of the State against Thos.
Gosld, pending in the Supreme Court,
was On last Monday affirmed by that
court
This case is of some local interest
by reason of several points raised by
the appeal Mr.. Gould was charged
by information of Prosecuting Attor-
ney Bcnham with feloniously assault
ing one Charles Whaley by shooting
him on December 10, 19l2. At the
date of the shooting, b. II. Boyer was
Prosecuting Attorney; no prosccu-
tion was instituted until January 20,
1918, and after +. A. Bcnham took
charge of the Office Of prosecuting at
torney. b. II. Boyer was employed
to defend Mr. Gould. There were
numerous preliminary motions filed
by Mr.. Boyer on behalf Of his client,
but finally the case went to trial at
the May term, 1913, Of the Circuit
Court, and Mr.. Gould WIS convicted
and war given thrcc-years' SEN
tcncc in the Pen.
Mr.. Boyer filed his motion for a
new trial, claiming eighteen reasons
why his client had not had n fair
trial, chief among them being that
the defendant had not been asked To
plead to the information before the
jury was sworn to try the cause, and
that the court then directed that the
defendant plead, and then re-swore the
, jury: and because the defendant was
tried on a legal holiday; and that the
record did not show that the defendant
entered hl' plea Of not guilty.
The Supreme Court evidently brush
ed aside the contentious and affirmed
the case.
Prosecuting Attorney Bcnham is to
be congratulated in the altirmpncc of
tins case, as it was freely asserted
ard VAS boastluIlv contendcd by the
dcfcndant, his attorney and friends
that Benham would be, iigura'ively
speaking, professionally eaten raw,
without salt or prppcr.
This case also demonstrates that
| Mr.. Iicnham has the knowledge, cN-
perience and 21ility to take care Of
himself and the &tA,c's business in a
credible way, and even against law
yers Of longer experience
Mr.. Gould was out on bond, but the
Clerk of the Supreme Court wired
Sheriff Williams on Tuesday % take
charge of Mr.. Gould and hold him in
iail until the marshal: could come
down for him,and he is now in the
Pennington Jail.

SUDDEN DEATH COMES
WHILE AT WORK

About eleven miles north of Farm
ington, and near six miles east of
Bonne Terre, in the Boycr's Prairie
neighborhood, at a Mr.. Walters farm
last Tuesday morning just as the
threshing machine had started running
threshing wheat, John Rosener who
was feeding the machine fell from
the table on which he stood at the
machine to the ground and expired in
a few minutes. A physician was
summoned from Bonnc Terre and af-
ter holding an examination decided
that the man came to his death by
apoplcxy.
1t is said that the unfortunate man
was given no warning of the approach
Of death. Just few minutes before
he fell he signaled the engine man
for more power. The workmen only
saw him throw up his hands, and step
back slightly from his position.
When they went to him as he lay
on the ground to lift him up, he only
breathed n time or two.
Added to the fact of the sudden
passing of the man is that he leaves Il
wife and eight fatherless children.
The family has been making its home
on the Shelley farm.
Funeral services were held at
French Village Wednesday at 10 a. m.
and the body laid to rest in the
French Village Cemetery.
It is said that deceased was pros
porous farmer and good neighbor.
He has a brother, Peter Rosener ,liv-
ing Bonne Terre.

NOT MRS. SALLY PEERS

Last weeks issue OF The Times
chronicled the death Of Mrs. Sally
Peers. The assumption was based on
a telegram received by l.. X. Peers
Thursday morning. The message
was from the nephew Val Peers, and
merely stated that Mrs. Peers had
passed away suddenly. Owing to the
fact that Mrs. Sally Peers had attain
ed such advanced age, and at the same
time has been ailing for some while,
it was at once presumed that she had
passed away, and hence the relatives
and friends here did not know differ
emily until letter came later ex-
planning that the Mrs. Peers was the
Wife of Val Peers, instead of his aged
mother. Mrs. Val Peers was not
reared in this community, but rather
in Texas. However, owing to the
fact that she has visited here u num-
ber of times she has number Of ac-
quaintanccs here and relatives by
marriage, who will regret to hear of
her sudden demise. The body was
laid to rest in the cemetery there at
GAINESVILLE.

1t is reported that n couple of gal

very important question the other
day by the use of the knife. The young
fellows are just along in their teens.
A quarrel took place late Saturday
afternoon between the gentlemen near
the home of Jack Larby. The gentle
men principals in the affair are, Her
man Resinger and Fred Silvey. The
former is said to have sustained an
ugly knife wound in his right side.
DR.. Perkins dressed the wound, and re-

comrade Of his on the streets of Elvins

ever that they did not care to adhere
TO the authority Of the law, owing to
the fact that they had imbibed just Il
little too much of the liquid--anti-
grape juice. Laws wrested the weap-
ons of the marshall away from him
and it is said beat the marshall over

threatened to shoot If interrupted far

Laws and his companion, hence,

" could S6tn5huy them. They
have not put themselves forward
at the instigation merely Of II
"few shrewd Democratic office seek
ers", either. The Progressive cause
in st. Francois county has its advo-
Gates, and they are tru2 men, and
worthy. They know that there is no
"traducing Of political power for the
qualification Of personal revenge" in
the Progressive movement to-day.
No doubt these men feel that for the
present they may not win; but they
feel that their cause is just cause,
and they had much rather go down in
defeat than to stay with corrupt
organization. such as they say they
left. They are men of visions; they
see the day when the cause that they
now champion will win.
Added to the insult that has been
hurled into the faces of four hundred
citizens of st. Francois county who
have dared 60 vote the Progressive
ticket, and stand for the things that
the Progressives stand FOR, there is
also that which would follow rs a
consequence, an insult to the three
thousand Democratic voters Of the
county. Men, Democrats, citizens Of
the county, candidates and politicians,
who is there that has been guilty of
purchasing the Progressive Cause,
and turning it into capital for the
coming campaign? The charge made
by the Republican press of the county
is without foundation, and surely you
will resent it. There is such thing
as honorable methods even in politics.
Never for once was such Il thing
thought of. True it may be that the
Democrats have felt an interest in
this matter, and may have thought
that for the present it might mean
their advantage; but that the Demo-
Gratis have been guilty of bribery (for
such it amounts to) in the suggestion
that they could we'll afford to raise
a purse, etc." is false, and unequiv-
ocally false-yea worse, downright
rotten political chicanery of the worst
sort, and the very kind of yellow
journalism that breeds corruption and
anarchy. The Democrats have no
more put up purse than have the Re-
publicans, and charge to this effect
through the Republican press of the
county is a gross and objectionable
insult to the honored citizens of the
county who are adherents of the two
parties, Democrat and Progressive
1t will pay the Republican party of
the county to give these sheets a few
lessons in decorum; possibly a read
| ing of that ancient and yet basic in
strument known as the Constitution
of the United States, would give some
light on the subject of the rights OF
citizens.

MOOTHART COLLEGE CLOSES

we are pleased TO make mention
this week of the closing Of the Moo
thart Business College. which began
last September. It's attendance has
been u good average, as compared
with former years, and the next term
begins Tuesday, September /, 1914,
at which time it is hoped that the en-
rollment will be equal to, or better
than during any opening week of the
past nine years, this school has been
SUCCESSFULLY conducted in our midst.
President Moothart tells us that
during the years he has labored in
this and other Moothart schools,
he has enrolled thousands of young
people, hundreds of these have gradu-
ated, having gone out into responsible
office positions. as stcnographers, and
bookkeepers; some have made such
positions stepping stones to managers
of business enterprises; other have
gone into business for themselves,
while others are still engaged in the
same work they started, but have
moved gradually up the ladder of
success.
Mr.. Moothart is indeed gratificd
to number among his graduates exem-
plary commercial school teachers,
court stenographers, private secre-
taries to railroad superintendents,
chief clerks in railroad Offices, promin-
ent ministers Of the gospel, lawyers
and doctors, some Of the latter three
mentioned, having used stenography
as Il stepping stone to earning their
tuition and other expenses through
their college and University courses
President Moothart has never made
an effort to play TO the Grand stand,
using base ball parlancc, but has gone
along from year to year working in
ccssantly, looking after the best in
tcrests and welfare Of each end every
student placed in his charge. lie has
at all times had competent assistant
instructors, and it is needless to say
that he is planning if possible more
successful future than he has had
in the past,
Surely the citizens Of Pennington
and st. Francois county, should be
proud of this institution; proud Of
its record Of training hundreds Of
their sons and daughters to fill re-
sponsiblc positions in the business and
professional world. So let us unite
in endorsing and recommending this
school to our friends. and relatives
who are nt all in line for high grade
first-class business or shorthand ed
| ucation so that in one year from now
the closing of its 10th years work in
our city, that its record may be an
honor and credit to all who are inter
csted in those things that mean the
up-building of Pennington and St.
Francois county.
The Times pledges its efforts in
carrying forward the suggestions
herein made, and especially expects to
see President Moothart, not only nom
mated, but elected to that responsible
position as State Representative from
St. Francois county, which will give
to him more prestige and influence
in the school over which he presides.
Elect him and thereby help Farming
ton and st. Francois county.
