MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE
THE VERDICT OF THE JURY
Frank DietzeI Found Guilty After
a Weeks Trial.

Guilty OF murder in the first degree
with mitigating circumstances was the
verdict OF the jury in the case Of the
State VS.. Frank Dietzel, charged with
the murder Of George Wehman on the
night OF July IL, 1914, in lonely lane
west Of Union City a few miles, the
body being dumped headioremost in an
old we'll. The evidence presented in the
case was circumstantial, hence the YER
dict OF mitigating Circumstances.
Attorneys for the defense immedi-
ately notified the court that they would
enter motion for new trial, based up
on the absence OF witnesses at this trial.
The degree Of sentence was left to the
discretion Of the Court.
AT O'Clock Saturday morning the
jury, headed by Kirk Wells, foreman,
filed into Court and asked Judge Jones
for additional instructions bearing on
the line Of expressed malice. Judge
Jones stated that il the jury found Diet
eel killed Wehman for the purpose q
robbery, expressed malice could be pre-
sumed. The verdict was returned soor
afterwards. Defendant received ths
verdict without emotion, but the fathel
and brothers were visibly affected.
The daughter OF the murdered mar
was not present, bukexpressed her salts
faction over the results Of the trial tt
some special friends.
Tuesday morning Judge Jones refused
to grant Dietzel new trial and sen.
fenced him to the electric chair on No
vember 20, 1914.
The now famous Dietzel murder tria
revived considerable interest Tuesday
morning when court opened. The house
was we'll filled and the crowd increased,
it having been previously agreed by the
court to listen to a motion for new
trial. The counsel for the defense,
Messrs. Pierce & Fry and J. A. Whip
pie, had twelve objections or points oi
error read and very earnestly argued
them before the court, Mr.. Pierce speak
ing at least an hour.
At the conclusion the court took the
objections and analysed and oyerruled
each one in the order in which they
came.
That theevidence in the case did not
justify the verdict was one Of the con-
tentions to which the court replied in a
speech or talk of nearly an hour, in
which he took the evidence from the
beginning, carefully rehearsing every
step in the case, reading parts Of the
charge he gave the jury. Believing, as
he said, that no error had been made,
he denied the defendant a new trial and
failed to see any mitigation in the case.
The defendants father, who was sit
ting on his right, and his brother, Ed,
on the left, we're the only members OF
the family present, the father, with bis
face buried in his hands nearly the en-
tire time, bowed under the weight Of
sorrow.
Judge Jones asked the defendant to
stand up and if he had anything to say,
and without sign Of any kind Of emo
ton, as though nothing had happened,
replied. Nothing" The Court then
read the sentence, stating before that
he would rather be electrocuted himself
than to cause an innocent man to be.
Many wiped tears from their eyes at the
touching scene.
An appeal will be taken to the SUI
preme Court.

this three times, and every one she
killed would scream, and the old panther
would answer away off in the woods and
each time, nearer After she killed them
all she cuffed the cubs and sent them up
a tree Then she began digging hole
in the ground and smiling the air. In a
few minutes the old panther screamed
and it seemed just little distance away.
The old bear lay down on her back in
the hole she bad dug She was ready for
fight. The panther came straight for
the bear. She gave one leap and struck
on the bear. There was a fierce struggle
with screaming and snarling anS in less
than ten minutes the bear was torn TO
fragments. The panther walked in the
cave and came right out again and gave
scream that was bloodcurdling. Just
then she saw the cubs; she gave leap
and brought one down and killed il, and
went after the rest and killed them.
"She shifted the air again and began
coming toward my grandfather who had
been watching from the ledge above. He
raised his rifle, took good aim and fired.

became conscious again, for he tainted

Commodore Marlborough at plattsburg. +"

The battle of Plattsburg had saved
the whole frontier for that year; but
more, it put an end to all British hopes
of modifying conditions before peace. 1t
thus insured to the United States peace
under favorable stipulations; for, in the
critical circumstances in Europe, Great
Britain shrank from protraeted warfare
| in America, and her government, avow-
edly to itself, was simply taking the
chance of the campaign to obtain ter
ritorial arrangements which it consid-
cred desirable for Canada and for the
western Indians. To these expecta-
tions Macdonough put an end The bat
tie of Plattsburg was decisive of the re-
suits of the war, so far as territorial and
boundary demands were concerned
Otherwise, the injuries which had caused
the United States to declare war re-
manned unredressed the British govern
ment refusing the slightest concession.
This was due to the failure of the three
adminstra tions, those Of jefferson and
Madison, to make any military prepare
ton. Great Britain had nothing to fear
from the United States On the con.
trary, in 1914 there stood between our
helpless government and disastrous re-
verse, with probable loss of territory in
the north, only the resolution and pro-
fessional resource of Marlborough.
The news of the defeat reached Eng
land October 2lst. Two weeks later the
British government offered the Duke OF
Wellington the command in North
America. This was due, partly. to
wish to remove him from Paris, where it
was feared plot against his person was
in progress; but the prime minister

Caring for Gas Stove.

While gas stove must be kept clear
both instead and out, it should never
be black, for the reason that the heat
is insufficient to absorb the backing
consequently it must go somewhere
about the room or into cloths or cloth
! ing.
The best cleanser is a rag dipped into
kerosene applied to every part while
the stove is still warm If the burners
are red from constant use an oily rag
will correct this, but backing must new.
err be used upon the perforated top. A
damp cloth will wipe off any dust that
may lodge there, but it is a good idea
to cover the range with newspaper
when walls or floor in the kitchen are
being swept. The racks in the oven
should be removed at least once week
and be thoroughly secured with hot wa
ter containing common soda applied with
stiff brush. Other days a sheet of
newspaper crushed and rubbed over the
bars will be sufficient Unless the grease
is removed frequently, it will aceumu-
late, and some time when the oven is
very hot the fat will catch on fire, so
there is danger in neglect.
The drip trays need washing after
each using. These, too, need strong
soda water. Incidentally-when broil
ing it is a good plan to put a little
water into the pan first, as this will
cool the fat as il falls from the meat.
If one wants To brol very quickly and
so uses the upper rack, the door should
always be left slightly ajar. This will
g..
as it is SO apt to do. When cooking
meat so close to the light it is well TO
remove any surplus fat, also to cut the
edges when necessary to keep them from
curling. just a short slit will be suffi-
cent The oven should be very hot be-
fore the meat is put in, then after a
couple or three minutes one burner can
be turned off.
There are still some women who need
that the oven door should
always be opened before the gas is light
ed. otherwise there may be a small ex
plosion. just the smallest leakage of
way to light the oven is to first open
the door, then turn on the pilot and
light it. After few seconds turn on
the gas and do not forget to put out the |
pilot Lastly close the oven door
The triple saucepans are an economy |
when the family is small, because three
ressels can be cooked over one burner,
where for ironing, the iron plates per
Grated on the edges will hold couple I
" three irons, again using only one
,urner. Some women use a small grid
lie and cover the irons with large
lread pan.
