southwest, September IL last. After
tho prisoner had left the witness stand
Attorney James A. O'Shea, his counsel.

blow, as described by young Grinder.
would have caused the weapon to
explode more easily than the steady
pull on the trigger.

firearms extended over period OF forty
years. He differed with the view ex-
pressed by the expert for the defense.

Of the recent ministerial crisis was
eagerly awaited. referred to "the great
est democracy in tho world speaking
so nobly in President Wilson's mes

country to remain united in thought
and energetic in action and warned
against attempts to depress or pervert
the public mind. He continued:
without victory no social class, the
proletariat less than all others. can
hope for a future OF progress and hap
piness. There are none who do not
earnestly hope for peace. but those who
desire it without complete national
liberation desire an impossible peace.
They deny their birthright as Italians
and prepare unconsciously a new and
terrible war for the near future"

Der Of the government would preside

complimented the commanders on
their work. American correspondents
were present, having been invited here

Many Prominent Men for Break.

The campaign begun by Ell Universal
advocating the breaking of relations by
Mexico with Germany has been widely
discussed and the pro-German papers
have delivered a counter attack. The

fact that many men prominent in pub

bility of such action.
Gen. Rafael Cepeda, former governor
of the state OF Mexico and the state Of

taken this step long ago. She should
have allied herself definitely with the
