KASTANOS AND WIFE
ACQUITTED LAST NIGHT

The jury in the case OF Yacilos Has
tamos and his wife. charged with the
attempted murder OF their new born
baby last August. by throwing it from
a a window near Montello, last night
brought il a verdict of not guilty, and
Judge Quicker ordered the defendants
discharged from custody. Sheriff Har-
ris permitted them to spend the night
in Jail and today they resumed their
journey to San Francisco.
This case was one OF the most in
.teresting tried in Elko in many years,
because Of its unusual nature. When
announcement was first made of 1t,
feeling was intense against the couple,
but when it was seen that the mother
love had asserted itself and the baby
was cared for, and when it was realiz-
ed that the condition of the woman's
mind may have been such that she
was not responsible for her action,
feeling softened, and the verdict of
the jury meets with popular approx
al.
Attorney McNamara's defense of the
couple reflects great credit upon him.
He worked hard and did not let one
point in favor of his clients escape
the jury.
The district attorneys office did its
full duty in the case and presented
the states side with full credit. In his
closing argument Deputy District At
torney Cantwell, who conducted the
case, urged the jury o to find the
woman guilty. but urged the convic-
ton of the man. He said that the in
terests of both mercy and justice
would thus be satisfied.
In the mind of the writer there is
not a doubt that the child was thrown
from the window with the idea of dis
posing of ii. What part the man play
ed will probably never be known ex-
cept by himself and his wife, and this
is also true regarding the mental con-
dition of the woman at the time.
We regard the verdict as wise and
just, and there is no adverse criticism
TO make of anyone connected with it.
1t was ably prosecuted, in%telligently
defended, and the outcome was the
natural one.

COMPLAINTS AGAINST
THE JURY CHAIRS

Many complaints are heard relative
TO the chairs for jurors in the jury
box. They are too close together and
men with long legs who are %unaccust-
omcd TO hours of sitting, complain
that their pedal eXtremeties become
cramped in One position and the
chairs are so close together that they
are unable to shift around.
There is also considerable complaint
about the Crampcd condition of the
jury room. 1t is entirely too small
for twelve men to sleep in, and the
beds take up so much room that dur,
ing the day time the jury can hardly
move around. Another toilet and adj
ditional washstands should also be
installed.
II has beer suggested that the cup.
ola of the courthouse which is roomy
and we'll lighted and has a high cell,
ing should be fitted for a sleeping
place for jurors, and with the beds
removed from the present jury room
it would be plenty large enough for
celebrating.

BY United Press.

TOXIC, Oct. 29.-The destinies of
Japan and China are closely allied,
and recently, owing TO the troubles
arising from the European war. Japan
seems TO have gained in prominence
and prestige In affairs. especially
since Japanese soldiers have driven
the German military rule out of Chi
nese possessions.
The Japanese government today sent
a friendly, but pointed note TO Chinese
officials, advising that the president of
China postpone making the republic
a monarchy. with a view of avoiding
calamitics that might arise in the far
east. The advice will doubtless be
followed.

ENGLISH HEIP GERMAN.s WIFE

There has been an interesting Sc
qsel To the pabIieity given ID the case
n Mrs Graee Mary Jungk. IT, Eng
ish girl married to ! German b. day
before the war. who recently was
fired F25 o. 4 monsh's imprisonment
for entering Graveserd, a prohibited
area.
The girl was 10 years old at the
time Of her marriage to q German
master tailor. Recently her husband
was ~interned, and being unable to get
work in London on account Of her
German name, she went in despair to
her parents home in G~rayesend, at
the same time notifying the local
police. She told the court that her
parents could in afford to pay The
fine imposed on her, and elected TO 20
% prison.
Mrs. Junk has now been released. a
communication having been received
from Scotland Yard that her fine has
been paid. The report in the Daily
Chronicle brought offers to pay the
fine from titled women, German pris-
oners, and men and women in all
parts Of the country. The girl has
since written TO her parents express

Of friends but of employment

London ~Telegraph.)

Conscious as we may be of many
changes wrought by war. the social
metamorphosis has developed so
gradually that the passing of old and
familiar institutions has almost es-
capped comment. Less than a year
ago the presence Of one khaki clad
man in a railway carriage would have
EXCITED general speculation. Now, 50
Injured have we become to wars ex-
igencies that we take no note Of the
fact that every big railway terminus
and every important railway junction
has practically become a military
camp, that we rub shoulders daily in
corridor trains with men who have
seen war at its cruelIest tension, that
race specials have ceased to run, that
our tickets are clipped BY women. and
our luggage is often handled by boys,
that there are many more newspapers
on the train and scarcely any books,
that our fellow travellers, be they SOL
dieFs or civilians, reveal a camara-
derie towards men and d chivalry to-
wards women that were not so con-
spicuous a year ago.
Anchored TO home or business since
this wonderful change developed,
many people will only note its psych-
illogical influence when they set out
for their brief holiday this summer.
The ingrained habit Of the English
mar when abroad IN the train is to
wrap himself in his own thoughts or
in those Of the novelist he may chance
to be patronizing. In the future we
are likely to keep our eyes more wide
~ open; onr tongues will be more
friendly to those whom we have
formerly disregarded, and less at the
service Of those who for Interior pur-
poses fatter our pride.
