The attorneys. for the state had thu
whlphand from the start and arguec
their case with splendid effect. 1t has
been repeatedly stated to the writer
that no stronger or more able argument
was ever presented at this bar thar
was made by the prosecution. j. r.
Mitchell opened the argument OF the
state and made speech full of elo-
quence, logic ana invective that must
have carried great weight with the
jury, If the way it effected the public
may be taken as parallel. II Will
long be remembered by those who
heard 1t as being one of the most pow
ertul and convincing arguments ever
presented at this bar.
e. E. Keyes was the second speaker
for the state. While Mr.. Keyes is not
regarded as an orator he does bear the
reputation OF beng able to apply the
law to case with great torce and
clearness. On this occasion he IS said
to have surpassed every previous effort
in that way.
Judge G. p. Burnett closed the argu-
ment for the state. He went deeply
into the human side of the case while
applying the evidence with eloquent
force and singing sarcasm. He pre-
sented the cruelty and viclousness of
the crime with telling effect while
touching strongly on the pathetic. All
IN all his argument was most telling
one.
Victor Rush will be tried for the
murder of Mabel Rush, the wife of
Will Rush. The indie tment has been
found but the case will not be tried
before next term of court. While no
indictment has been found for burning
the house there is no probability that
such an indictment could not be found
and that may be done later If the state
should not decide that previous ver
diets are sufficiently severe. AS to
that. however, time alone will tell.

WAR SITUATION.

The Russians have taken a Turk
stronghold in which $4,000 Turk sol
diers were fighting. but nearly all the
troops escaped before the place was
surrendered. Many guns and much
ammunition were a part of the booty.
The Russians are still pressing the
Turks hard and may yet capture many
more.
Fighting on the western front has
been lively for some days and on the
whole the Germans have gained more
ground than they have lost. There
have been numerous battles in the air
IN which all parties have suffered some
loss, bit the Germans seem to have
gotten the worst Of It.

WILL Be TRIED FOR MURDER
OF MRS. MABEL RUSH
Also May Have to Answer for Burning
Rush Home, But Will Not Come
Up This Term,--PIea tor New
Trial Heard Today.

The jury in the Rush murder case ar
rived at verdict Saturday night about
nine O'Clock. Judge Snodgrass had
them brought into the court room,
where he mad gone promptly on being
notified that the jury was ready to re-
port, and asked the foreman, J. A.
Tulley, If they were ready to report.
Mr.. Tulley replied IN the affirmative
and stated that a verdict of murder IN
the second degree had been reached.
The verdici proved to be surprise
to Judge Sro..grass as it was to the
general publ. The jury was dismiss
ed and allowed to go home. The ac-
| cused. Victor Rush, was present when
the verdict We eported and seemed
to take the resG. very lightly. After
returning to tie cell IN jail he laugh
ingly told one OF the other prisoners
that the jury had given him sentence
OF ninety mine years.
The argument tor new trial will be
heard by Judge Snodgrass today. In
the event new trial is denied the case
Will likely be appealed to the supreme
court.
CANNOT BE HANGED.
At the sitting of the last legislature
a law was passed abolishlpg capital
punishment, which precludes the posi-
bility of hanging had the verdict been
for murder IN the first degree.
The legislature of 1918 did away with
the old custom of allowing the jury TO
fix the term of Imprisonment and pass
ed an indetermlnate sentence law.
which will give Rush sentence in the |
penitentiary OF from ten to twenty |
years. The law acts automatically and |
does not require that the judge or Jury |
either shall fix the length of time. 1t |
will only be necessary for Judge Snod- |
grass to sentence Rush to the peniten-
tIary for the lndetermlnate term fixed |
by law for second degree murder,
which is from ten to twenty years.
Should Rush be sent up for that time
and should he prove to be quiet and
we'll behaved he would be allowed what !
is known as 'good time which would
reduce his term by such number of
months each year as the state board of
pardons may direct.
HOW VERDICT WAS REACHED.
There has been much speculation as
to how the jury could reach a verdict
of second degree murder undert he evil
dence, which was generally regarded
as being very strong.
1t seems that some of the jurors
could not agree as to just what the
word "premeditated" meant as touch
ing the case. After considerable dis
cussion dictionary was sent for and
the meaning sought there. Taking the
meaning and the charge of ,
the Judge, as some OF the jury urged
its meaning to be, the feeling seemed {
to become almost general that second
1egree murder was the proper verdict. .
There was no doubt expressed oy any {
IF the jurors as to the guilt Of Rush,
out as to the magnitude of the crime.
The defense labored under very ad-
,erse conditions from the start because
he evidence seemed very strong
against Rush and they could find no
'eally logical grounds on which to base
/ theory that would justify acquittaI. q
The attorneys for the defense are &C.
redited with agruing the case as we'll. =

peace, and in that great experience
that we have been going through,
America has been sort of prophetic
sample of mankind. Now the world
outside Of America has felt the forces
Of America; felt the forces of free
dom, the forces of common aspira-
tions, the forces that bring every man
and every nation face to face with
this question, What are you going to
do with your power? Are you going
to translate it into force, or are you
going to translate it into peace and
the salvation of society?'
Does it not interest you that Amer
lea has run before the rest Of the
world in making trial of this great
human experiment, and is it not the
sign and dawn of a new age that the
one thing upon which the world is
now about to fall back is the moral
judgment of mankind?- There is no

Mr.. Jefferson said: A decent respect
for the opinion of mankind makes it
necessary am not now quoting the
words exactly-that we should state
the grounds upon which we have
taken the important step Of asserting
our independence A decent respect
for the opinion Of mankind-it is as If
Jefferson knew that this was the way
in which mankind itself was to strug-

that We were throwing off this thing
in order that a great world of liberty
should be open to man through our

II would like, therefore, to think
that the spirit of this occasion could
be expressed if we imagined ourselves
lifting some sacred emblem Of coun-
sci and Of peace-of accommodation
and righteous judgment-before the
nations Of the world, and reminding
them Of that passage in scripture
