DEATH PENALTY ASKED
BY PROSECUTOR Keller

He has been there a matter of ff-
teen years, and there is no question
but what, if this man goes there, in
few months time he will be given
privileges. He will be treated almost
as trusty, and to him it will not be
punishment; and probably in a few
years time he will be released, so it
seems to me the most severe penalty
here is the death penalty.
Asks Death Penalty.
I don't believe, your honor, that 1t
IS merely the cry of mob or that
the people are excited over this mat
ter. believe il you would go out
any place and take twelve level
headed men, the best citizens of this
community, they would ask that the
death penalty be inflicted l feel con-
scientious about it, l have not asked
for the death penalty in any other
case, but it seems to me, upon the
hard, cold facts brought before the
grand jury, and upon the law as it
is applied to those facts, that the
most severe penalty should be in
fiicted and that penalty is the death
penalty.

In petitioning Judge Henry G. Fo,
Of the Wayne circuit court to sen
tence Eli s. Carr, murdered Of Police
men Little and Stephenson, to death
in the electric chair at the Indiana
state prison, Prosecutor Keller spoke
as follows:
Mr.. Keller: Your honor, there has
been great deal in the newspapers
and there has been much talk con
corning this crime, and in substance
the newspapers have printed the facts
accurately, but If the court cares ia
hear, I will be very glad to give q
brief summary of the facts that were
brought to the grand jury.
Court Has the Facts.
The Court: Oh, think l have sui.
f1cient facts. We will put that in
writing and forward it to the board ;
include 1t with the commitment.
Mr.. Keller: On behalf of the state
your honor, although usually am not
in favor Of capital punishment, still
! think this is the most aggravated
case that has come to my attention
or to the courts attention during my
term of office
There has not been a case that has
been tried here that | have selected
jury with the idea of imposing the
death penalty, but in this instance
and there has always been a very
close connection between the prose
cutor's office and the court. and ]
don't believe | have ever advised the
court incorrectly on the matter-but
in this instance feel that the death
penalty should be inflicted
Pleads On Cold Facts.
l feel, your honor. this way: That
here is crime, not on account of
the public feeling that is aroused, but
on cold facts that were brought before
the grand jury on strict interpre-
tation Of the law, as applied to those
facts. that merits the most severe
penalty known to our law, and in this
instance the most severe penalty is
the death penalty.
OF course, this court has the alter.
native of either inflicting the death
penalty or imposing life Imprisonment
and | don't think it Is so much as to
what you punish this man as to the
effect in this instance on society AS
far as this man is concerned, believe
even the death penalty would be more
punishment to him than life imprison-
ment, although he himself is reported
to have tried t. take his own life.
Doubts Suicide Attempt.
Your honor, from what came before
the grand jury l don't believe his
effort to take his life was bona fide
one. I don't believe he tried to sui
eide at all, because the opportunity
was there and he really could have
taken his own life if he had wanted
to. and want to point out to the
court just at this instance why life
Imprisonment is not the most severe
penalty known to the law.
Just this mornings paper contains
the account Of this man Futrell who
went up, believe it was in 1901, for
first degree murder, being pardoned.

boy yesterday afternoon. who wants to
Join the army 40 bad that he can

by Lieutenant Coppock. because he
was under weight.
For almost . month the boy has been
on special diet trying to come up to
the required weight. About half an
hour before the state officer was due,
the boy went to the recruiting office.
II have been drinking buttermilk all
day." he said. The sergeant weighed
him and gave out that at least one
pound would have to be added.
How can ! do It." asked the boy.
Drink water" replied the officer.
Lieutenant Coppock came, and after
examining the boy told him he lacked
about one-fourth OF pound of coming
up to the required weight.
That's just my luck" said the lad.
"Why didn't drink half gallon more
water?"

TASTE OF CREAM
MADE BOY ENTER
COOKING GLASSES

Sure boss; Fse done been here
every day that the boys have had a
cooking class" said a colored boy to
Principal D. D. Ramsey, Whitewater
school yesterday afternoon when the
teacher challenged the boy who want.
ed big dish full of ice cream which
the class had made.
Mr.. Ramsey remembered the boy
as having been one who had always
laughed about the boys cooking class
but when the boy chefs told him yes
terday that they were to make ice
cream and that they got to eat it
after making it. why then he imme-
diately changed his views and joined
the class.
But unluckily for the chap, the
principal would not award the boy for
his misrepresentation and he had to
stand aside and watch the faithful
members of the class eat their pro-
duct.

Cedar Rapids, Sept. 26.-When the
Coop & Lents circus was sold to Cole
Bros. last week for $4,000, the direc-
tors of the Coop & Lents circus,
which wintered in this city last year
realized that they had lost 100000.
so it was stated today.
Never again" is the unanimous
verdict of the men who put their
money in the enterprise, which started
out last spring with such great show
of success. Some of them were fairly
well to- do then. Today they have TO
practice thrift and frugality as well as
industry in order to get back to the
place from which they started about
twelve months ago. One man is said
to have dropped $4,000 another $4,000
and others lesser amounts down to
$500.
First Offer Larger.
Had the show been sold when it was
in Oak Park. H. for the $4,000 that
been SO great. The offer was $4,000
cash and the rest in notes, and it was
not accepted. Blu; even the $1,000
CtASn InlSNt nave Deen petter l1an the
present sale for $4,000. because re-
Gently two of the directors had to
send $4,000 to bring the show home
This $4,000 takes precedence over
other debts and 1t will leave only
$4,000 to pay bills notes owing at
banks, etc.
There should be genuine regret *
the loss Of the local men who did their
very best to give Cedar Rapids a
name in the circus world. They sent
out one OF the nnest snaiief S::T1Gsses
that has ever appeared. Everything
was spick and span when the show
left last spring for small fortune had
been invested in purchases and prepa-
ration.
Profit at First.
And the show made money at first.
1t is said that before II started on its
ll-adyised trip TO Canada il had made
profit of $4,000. But the local direc-
tors are said to have been victimized
by certain circus sharpers with the
show who had q tight ring which got
away with a good deal of the money
