That Ito the voters belong the spOils,
you may be sure it was a typograph-
ical error.-Red Laks Falls Gazette
The members Of the state legisla-
ture have certainly caught the
ECONOMY fever and it will take
more than one representative of a
stationery house to break it up.
Haislet, of St. James, chairman of the
house committee on legislative sup
plies, says that each member will re-
ceive one lead pencil, a penholder
and pen, a package of envelopes and
a block of paper, and nothing else.
We hope this streak of economy will
not be more than counteracted by ex-
travagance somewhere else.-Laporte

BONUS AGREEMENT
 NOT PARTNERSHIP

A contract between d plantation oWner who agrees to pay an over seer or manager a stipulated salary and share Of the crop over a stipu- lated amount, is not partnership agreement
 This was the ruling rendered by Chancellor John VI. Elliott yesterday in the case of R. l.. Leonard vs. C. R. Henderson, originating in Prairie county.
 At the beginning of the year, MT. Leonard employed Mr. Henderson as manager at a salary of S100 a month with the understanding that he would receive a certain percentage of the amount brought by the crop over stipulated sum. A disagree ment arose, and Leonard attempted to dis charge Henderson, who held he was a partner and could not be removed until the end of the year.
 Leonard entered suit, the court or dcrng Henderson to relinquish pos. session to the owner, and enjoining the defendant from in any way in terferng with the management of the place.

where about 1 O'clock
Frank told White that if his wife wished
to leave before o'clock she had better leave
then, because he meant to lock up as soon as
he could get his coat and hat.
The lady hurried down and left, and when
she reached McDonald's furniture store, 4 or
5 blocks away, it was few minutes after |
o'clock
Mrs. White swore-E'I saw the negro sitting
6etWeen the St0iyrQy and the door, about
or feet from the foot of the stairway"
Mrs. White was not worker In the factory,
and did not know Jim Conley by sight. but
the negro she saw was necessarily Jim. No
other negro is claimed to have been there
that day
Therefore by the unimpeachable white
lady, it is proved that jim was at his place
Of work shortly before l O'clock that he was
not hiding; that he was occupying position
near the front door, and almost in arms
length of the stairs down which the lady
came; and that he was sitting down, present.
ing no unusual appearance Of any kind to
cause the lady to particularly notice him.
That is extremely material for they con-
tend that he had been drunk, had lain in the
dark on that floor to sleep it off, had seen
Mary as she came down those very stairs, not
much more than half-an-hour before, and
They contend that this negro ach0 2cds
sitting calmly there at the foot Of the stairs,
near the front door, when Mrs. White passed
out at nearly 1 o'clock, had committed ter
rible crime, at that rc1y place, between y :05
and about - 80
According to Franks theory, the girl went
down stairs from his office to the floor below,
and was passing out, Just as Mrs. White did,
when the negro seized her, split her scalp with
some weapon knocking her unconscious, and
then tumbled her bleeding body down the lad
der, through the trap-door hole, into the base
ment. After which, he was back at his post,
by the stairway, as If nothing had happened,
and was sitting there composedly when Mrs.
White passed
But Frank was in his 0utcy Office when Mrs.
White returned, and his 6ach aca8 to the door.
What brought him out of the inner office
after Mary left?
What reason had he for going to the safe,
in that outer ofice2 What was he doing at
the safe? lie did not hno1o that hrs White
meant TO return, after she left the first time!
He did not hear the light steps of the lady,
as she came up the steps. His back ra8 to
her! And when she spoke, ''ho jumped
. AND TURNED!'
Jumped, "7ihe Surprised him." Indeed,
she surprised him. In few minutes, he got
her out OF the house. (See page q Of the
record)
Now what? Some time after Mrs. White
left, Frank went home to dinner. He says
it was LEO. Albert Mcknight, the cooks
husband, says Frank came home at 80 and
did not eat a mouthful, but went back to-
wards the city after a very few minutes. The
parentsin-law of Frank say he came as usual,
ate as usual, and went away, as usual
Let it pass The fact is, he went home and
was back at the factory that afternoon of
Saturday, and legal holiday.
For what PURPOSE did he return and snend

her little fnery, and come into town to mingle
among nice people of both sexes, and at the
same time leave herself without bandage and
protection from her monthly sickness-such
a white man has lower opinion of decent
white women than decent negroes have of
their decent women.
But we will sweep all that out Of our way,
and limit our reasoning to the undisputed and
vital facts
The girl was alive, few minutes after the
noon-hour whistle was blowing, and Frank
says she was qcith him. Less than Is hours
afterwards her rigid corpse is found, Qeitb
dried blood matted IN her hojr; and no marks
of any blood that flowed, at Gny time, in the
basement aoAero she lag, OF on THE
FIRST FLOOR
That's enough! O that's enough, God
knows
Newt Lee went on duty as night watch at
about 6 o'clock Saturday evening He found
the dead girl at o'clock that night. (I use
the term ''that night" for the sake of abso-
Lutte clearness and continuity
He went on duty at, say 6 hours before mid
night and found the body hours after mid
night. Thus ace account for hours that the
corpse lag IN the basement. Hence, as there
qcaS no blood IN the basement, 1t had ceased to
flor before she acaS put there!
At 6 o'clock Lee enters on his usual duties at
the building, and no one else is then there,
except the murdered girl.
Where qraS Jim C0nzey? The unimpeached
and uncontradicted witness, Ivy Jones, swore
that he saw COnley at the corner of Hunter
and Forsyth streets, that Conley came into
the saloon, at the corner opposite to the Pencil
Factory, and that it was between l and 2
o'clock Saturday afternoon, April Goth.
Jones sWears-"aUe 2rent on tOaD0rds CON-
zey's home. I left him at the corner at Hunter
and Davis street, little after 2 o'clock. He
was not drunk" page 233 of the record)
Nobody contends that Conley did not show
up In the saloon, and 90 on towards home,
just as Ivy Jones testified. He goes, and he
stays gone; therefore, if he committed the
crime it was before l o'clock If he had any
hand In the crime, it was all over with, by
about l o'clock that Saturday afternoon This
much is transparency clear.
Then we have these undeniable facts before
US:
The girl is alive at few minutes after y ::
she Is qcith Frank the last time qce see her,:
she is on the second floor where both she and
Frank had worked: she is lying dead
In the basement at the time jim goes

and if Jim Conley killed her, he had already
done it, end he mast duoe done 1t almost I'M
naediotezv after Frank says the girl acas IN his
inner office.
Thus, you see, 1t IS closing H.
Let US go to the building itself, now, and
see the situation:
Mrs. j. A. White went to the pencil factory
at II 80 to speak to her husband, who was at
work there II stayed there until about 10
minutes to II. [ left him there, and came
back Ito the factory about - 80, and left
again about 1 o'clock"
