Wilmer r. Palmer who on Monday
night was convicted OF murder in the
first degree for killing his wife. attempted
suicide in his cell last night by cutting
an artery in his left wrist, He lost q
large amount of blood, but Is expected to
recover. The attempt at suicide was his
second. the first having been made just
after he killed Mrs. Palmer.
Palmer's trial was the first held under
the new Wyoming law which permits the
jury in a murder trial to qualify It's YER
dict OF murder in the first degree by stat
ing whether the defendant shall be
hanged or imprisoned for life. The
Palmer jury returned a verdict specifying
the death penalty II is an interesting
coincidence that the first trial under the
new law occurred In the homo town OF
SENATOR Patrick Sullivan, author OF the
law, and that the jury declined to take
advantage of the discretion in regard 70

the old law.

PBTRoGRAD. April 22.--(via London.)-
Thrown back from the principal summits
OF the carpathian mountains TO the plains

now attempting 20 relieve the weakness
Of their position along the center OF the
carpathlan front. namely, the Mexola-
boreE-Lupkow region. by two parallel out
thanking movements. one operating in the
direction Of stry. which Is trying 20 bend
back the Russian left. and the other IN
the vicinity OF Gorlice in an effort to
surround the Russian right
The results Of these attempts have been
officially announced in Petrograd. The
tactics OF the Russian forces were TO In
vite the enemy to advance by nonresist-
ance. Not a SHOT was fired until the
range was very close. The Russiana then
suddenly charged with the bayonet, with
the reguh that the Austrians were COM
pletely routed. the Russians taking an
unusually large number OF prisoners. BY
the same tactics the Russians near Pollen
captured an entire Austrian battalion
with It's fun complement OF Officers.
In a stubborn battle near Koxiouvka
April 10 and 20 the Austrians took an ele-
waited position In the face Of a strong
Russian defense. but after two hours OF
Possession they were forced to abandon
the position.
Other Austrian efforts along the River
