JURY IS COMPLETE
AND TRIAL BEGINS
nay PfanschmIdt IL Bitterly Ar
raigned BY States Attorney
Wolfe In Opening
Statement.
HAVE NEW EVIDENCE
Come Sensational Developments in
This Second Trial Are
Awaited by the
People.
HAVE NEW EVIDENCE

MACOMB, Ill, Oct 10.-For the
hrst time States Attorney Wolfe to-
day gave an intimation OF some OF
the new evidence which the state
Will introduce In its second attempt
to prove Ray Pfanschmtdt guilty OF
the murders on the Pfanschmtdt
farm.
One OF these bits Of new evidence
which the state will present is in
reality but corroborative OF circum-
stance presented at the former case.
The state has witness who will
corroborate Archie Pape's story that
he saw Rays buggy and team cross
Twelfth and Broadway very late on
the night OF September q, the night
OF the Pfanschmidt murder. 1t will
be remembered that this evidence
was one of the most startling pieces
Of testimony which the state present
ed at the first trial. It's weakness de-
pended upon the fact that 1t was
wholly unsupported by other evil
dence. Today the states attorney an
nounced that still another witness
would support the statements made
by Mr.. Pape.
Another sensational scrap Of in
formation impaired by the states at
torney was that Walter Pfanschmidt,
son Of George Pfanschmidt and a
second cousin OF the defendant,
young man who lives near Paloma,
would testify that Ray. kicking the
remains in the ashes and rubbish,
said: We'll, there amt much left OF
the old man"
States Case Much the Same.
Outside of these statements of the
states attorney, there was little
new in the opening statement. To
q person who had followed the first
trial OF the case and who had heard
the first opening statement, MI.
Wolfe's statement naturally divided
itself into those facts which the state
declared 1t would prove In the for
mer trial and reiterated now. those
facts which the state declared 1t
would prove in the former trial and
which it will not attempt to prove
row, and those facts which it did not
declare it would prove in the former
trial but which it will prove now.
Pfanschmidt paid close attention
to the address OF the attorney, and
at times would lean toward Attorney
Lancaster of the defense and whis-
per a few words to him. Throughout
the entire address, which was bit
ter arraignment Of the prisoner, the
Jury watched Pfanschmidt even clos
er than they did the attorney
The first testimony was taken this

M. II. MURLEYS VIEWS.

Editor Palladium-Mr. Gordon says
to take the saloons out of Richmond
will! mean the financial loss of $244,-
1926 yearly to the city, of which
$35.271 goes for lunches.
If the saloons were not in existence
the money that is spent for drink
would go to feed children and
wives, and the butchers and bakers
would get the benefit just the same.
Also the other business houses
would get their share of the money
that now goes for drink, and we would
have cleaner, better city. Does Mr..
Gordon deny this?
And did he not say that half the
empty saloon buildings would be oc-
cupied by drug store blind tigers
! Then how does he make out that
there will be fifty-six empty build
inGs?
AS far as the value of surrounding
buildings is concerned, which would
you. Mr.. Business Man, rather have
next to your store, an empty building
or saloon?
He further says that it will put
twelve cigar manufacturers out of
business, as most of Richmond'S Gig
ars are sold in saloons.
Now the man do not have to go
behind curtains and swinging doors
to get cigar, so will not the pool
rooms cigar stores and groceries
get this trade?
To be sure they will and the cigar
manufacturers will go on just the
same.
We certainly do know what We have
in Richmond now, If on March 18TH
there was in police court nine cases,
four of which were for drunk.
How many men get drunk. and in
their crazy madness kill their wives
or children. and when they come to
their senses are in a cell and are
! told their wife or child is dead, and
! that they are a murderer?
They did it.
Yes. but who when that man is lead
to the saffold to meet his fate is to
blame most, the man or the perfectly
well regulated saloon?
! 1t is for you to decide.
Men drink themselves crazy; get
delirum tremens. and are sent to the
madhouse where they rave their. life
away, all caused by the whisky they
get in our saloons.

WRIGHT'S OPINION.

When | was a student at Leland
Stanford my professor in journalism
told me this story:
A young man, who had just been
graduated from Chicago university got
a position on the Inter-Ocean as staff
reporter. The first work assigned to
the young man was to interview Mr..
w. X. Vanderbilt. Accordingly, he
interviewed Mr.. Vanderbilt and re-
turned to the editor with twelve type
written pages of notes. The editor
hurriedly looked over the notes, then.
turning to the reporter, asked:
Didn't Mr.. Vanderbilt say anything
about the people,"
Nothing; only people be damned
replied the young man.
That's exactly what / want" eiacu-
lated the editor

use People be damned: the saloon
keepers are the fellow whom / am
working for as a headline to his
paid advertisement. that he would not
only create a bigger sensation (Which
distinguishes a successful newspaper
: writer), but that moreover he would
not betray his motives.
Indeed People be Damned" is the
slogan of every saloon keeper, and
every wet advocate. The saloon keep
er is the arch enemy of decent society

its concomitant miseries-the brazen
proxy and free agent of sin and sor-
row, wall and woe. Strong in will.

to shun its alurements-the nude

Ell? Oh, no: they are harpies, whose
business it is to prey upon the pas
sions of the youth! What is the citi-
! zenship of $50 men of this stripe worth
to Richmond? Not straw; not 4

Editor Palladium:
About ten years ago, having at that
time enough sight to get about the
streets safely and read the signs on
the buildings, while on my way to a
theatre, having stopped to partake
freely of liquor in one of Richmond

icated and as the result toppled
against a mail box, bursting the one

Starr Piano company, to whom I'm
deeply indebted for this ability. This
was the one means of earning my live
lihood and how wrecklessly l sacri-

every means conceivable was resorted
to by my parents to put an end to
this downward career, finally taking
legal steps to prohibit saloon keepers
