many prominent persons OF Carroll

Carroll county circuit court
The boy is serving In eighteen year
term in the state penitentiary for the
murder of w. NJ. Foster. common
wealth attorney. who was shot down
I'm the courthouse. At the trial Of
Friel ~extenuating circumstances were
shown and always there was doubt
that he actually caused the death OF
Mr.. Foster. In fact, it now Is believed
that he would have been acquitted ex-
cept that feeling at the time was at
such a high pitch. During the term
Of Governor Mann unsuccessful efforts
were made to have him commute the
death sentences OF Floyd and Claude
Swanson Allen. The present COVER
nor then refrained from any comment
on the movement and refused to take
any part in the campaign.
1t is now declared that Friel did not
actually kill the commonwealth attor-
ney. At his trial Friel testified that
be fired at only two rersons-Court
Clerk Goad and Attorney Foster. The
evidence offered tended to show that
the commonwealth attorney already
had received a mortal wound when he
came within range Of Frfel's revolver.
Because of this last fact the jury
found him guilty OF murder In the Sec
ond degree. Friel was the most amen
able to law Of all the Aliens.

CLARK MANAGER
HITS AT WILSON
Speakers AdherentS Bitter
Against Administration.
DUBOIS MAKES CHARGES
Candidate for Senator From Idaho
Asserts That Mormons Are Being
Favored In Appointments to Federal
Positions in That State.

Favored IN appointments TO feueral
Positions in That State.
Washington, Feb. 25.-In announc-
ing his candidacy for the United
States senate in Idaho on an anti
Mormon Democratic ticket Fred T..
Dubois, former senator of that state,
attacked the Wilson administration,
charging hat the Mormon church had
been permitted to dictate appoint
ments of postmasters and other fed
eral officers for Utah and Idaho.
He was manager of Speaker Clark's
presidential campaign and his attack
on the administration is accepted as
indicating that the Clark adherents re-
tain a bitter feeling against the Will
son administration growing out of the
speakers defeat at Baltimore.
Replying to a letter from Secretary
Lane of the interior department Mr..
Dubois said:
THE Mormons are exerting as much
influence with the administration in
Washington as they are exerting with
the state administration in Idaho. You
can figure that out for yourself.
Mormon Control in Idaho.
The governor of Idaho is a Repub-
lcan, elected by the solid Mormon
vote. Governor Haines has appoint
ed Mormons to state Offices in many
instances. The statehouse in Boise is
filled with Mormon employees; the
private secretary to the governor Is
o Mormon.
Il am led to make this statement
because of the fact that every appoint
ment made by the Democratic admin
istration at Washington is a Mormon
or some one entirely satisfactory TO
the Mormons.
I'm my interview with you | was
careful to exclude the president and
yourself from being a party to this
Mormon political combination. | did
not believe that the president under
stood the purport and effect of these
dozen appointments made on the rec
om~mendation of Postmaster General
Burleson. Mormons have been ap-
pointed to postmasterships in various
places"
