was to sit as Judge upon his case, then

torture it involved.
Sending for Mr.. Black, / asked him
point blank whether In face of the
Circumstance that the victim of this
murder was my best friend, he would
not prefer to plead his case before
Judge Grosvenor. He answered no:
that he had more confidence in my
equity even under these circumstances
than In that of my able, but head
strong colleague, and prayed me to get
well. He did not say that he expected
me on this very account to show even
more favor toward his client than

his bearing, which | alone understood.

man, it was so because he had been
guilty in intent if not in fact He had
meant to attack Algernon Etheridge.
He had run down the ravine for that
purpose, knowing my old friends
whistle and envying him his watch.
Or why his foolish story of having
left his stick behind him? But the
sound of my approaching steps higher
up on the path had stopped him in
midcareer and sent him rushing up
the slope ahead of me. When he came
back after short circuit of the fields
beyond, it was to find his crime fore
stalled and by the very weapon he
had thrown into the Hollow as he
went scurrying by. He had meant to
attack Etheridge. 1t was the shock

ANOTHER DECISION
MAY HELP kEOkUk
Judge In Polk County says Tels-
phone Company Must Get Fran
ehise and Gives Them One
Year Of Grace.
IT MAY APPLY HERE
This Decision II Upheld VIII Have
Considerable Bearing on keo-
kuk's Case II is
Felt.

That the Iowa Telephone company
must secure franchise to operate in
. Des Moines was the decision made re-
Gently by Judge Charles A. Dudley of
the Polk district court. Judge Dub
ley's decision is believed by the at
torneys for the city in the case Of the
Iowa Telephone company against the
city of Keokuk, to be favorable to
their side Of the question. The city's
attorneys have contended that a fran
chise is necessary.
A year ago yesterday. Judge Robert
Sloan, special master who heard the
case here, submitted his decision to
Judge Mcpherson. He held that the
telephone company il it operated be-
fore certain year held perpetual
franchise. The contention Of w. B.
and H. r. Collins, attorneys for the
city in this case, was that special
franchise was necessary before the
CONT any could use the streets and al
leys
Judge Dudley's decision upholds
this view He has given the company
a years grace in which to secure
their franchise. If the supreme court
urholds this ruling then other Iowa
cities can apply for relief and force
the com. any to ask for franchise.
The following from the Des Moines
Register and Leader is pertinent to
tho situation here:
Judge Charles A. Dudley. of the
district court, has signed an order
giving the Iowa Telephone company
until January i, 1916, to secure a
franchise from the city council.
The decree is in conformity with
an opinion recently handed down by
the court in which he sustained the
clry's contention that the company has
