NJ M'MURTREY HELD
CASTLE. ACQUITTED

The preliminary examination of
H. A McMurtrey and H. U. Castle
came to conclusion this afternoon.
when Justice of the Peace Clark or
dered Mr. McMurtrey 10 be held fc-
the grand jury, and dism;n5ed the case
against III. U. Castle.
= After this order Justice Clark stated
that he had something to say to the
writer. George B. Russell. He read
from an account of the Taber prelim-
mary In the issue Of last Fri4ay's In
dependent ard stated that he E5ld the
article as contempt and imposed
sentence of thirty days in jail and a
fine Of 500. Lawyers present advised
the Justice that he had exceeded his
authority, that the statutes of the
state entitled a defendant in such a
case to a jury trial, and that the maxi
mum Jail sentence that he could i'm
pose was one day. Mr.. Russell stated
that the article was not intended as a
reflection on the honor or integrity OF
the court, whereupon the sentence was
remitted and the case dismissed.
In the McMurtrey preliminary the
defendant took The stand in his own
behalf, and he told a straight, logical
story of his connections with the mar
riage of Mr.. and Mrs. Connell. He
said that he had been complained to
repeatedly about the manner in which
they were living, and he said that he
had told Mr. Connell that it would
have to stop. Mr. Connell replied he
was not living in adultery with Mrs. Le-
wark. Mr.. McMurtrey said that he
then set about to catch the couple,
and hat he entered the house one
night aud found Connell in Mrs. Le-
wark's led. He then told the couple
that they would have to get married
or stop living in that manner. They
both consented to get married. and he
went after the Justice of the Peace
and the Deputy County Clerk. He
| positively denied all of the alleged
conversations with Mrs. Conneli rela-
tive to the poisoning of Mr.. Connell.
| Several witnesses were placed on
the stand to corroborate certain evi'
dence given by Mr.. McMurtrey.
The dismissal of the case against
Mr.. Castle is source of great salts
faction TO his many friends. There
was little or no evidence against him
as Mrs. Connell never at any time Inn
plicated him.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Justice Of the
United States Supreme Court Charles
Evan Hughes received the empty hon.
or OF the nomination for president on
the Republican ticket on the third bal
lot.
Roosevelts name was withdrawn by
A. NJ. Stevenson, a delegate from Colo
RADIO and Hughes was nominated by
acclamation and in fact had actually
received the nomination when New
Jersey had been reached in the call of
states. Hughes vote was 949h before
the motion was made to make it unani-
nous.
The news of Hughes' nomination by
the Republicans was received by the
Progressive convention delegates in
silence and then the Progressives got
busy and nominated their martyr and
hero, Roosevelt, also for the empty
honor of candidate for the presidency
on the Moose ticket, by reclamation.
After the nomination of Hughes was
announced. Chairman Harding at 1903,
announced that nominations for vice
president were in order. Fairbanks of
Ohio was then nominated by John
Wanamaker of Pennsylvania. Howard
H. Baldridge of Nebraska was next
recognized and he placed Formre Sen.
ator Burkett in nomination. A state
ment was made from the Ohio delega'
tion that Burton's name would not be
presented and this was credited as be
ing an assurance of Fairbanks nomi
nation, which was later made.
The Republican convention adjourn

The prominent leaders Of the Re
publicans are of the opinion thai
Roosevelt will not run on the Pro
