O'OONNELL CASE
IS A SAMPLE.
Attorney General Says There Are
Too Many ReversaIs In Grim
tnaI Procedure in
Iowa.
POINTS TO LOCAL TRIAL
Retiring State official Urges That
the Death Penalty Be
Abolished In This
State.
POINTS TO LOCAL TRIAL

Citing the Mat O'Donnell case OF
Keokuk as an example, Attorney Gen.
eral Cosson in his last report as he
retires from office, suggests reform IN
court procedure. The attorney general
holds that too many reversals are be-
ing made and urges the next leg1sla-
ture prevent this turning Of criminals
loose through technecalities.
He calls attention to the case Of
Matthias O'Donnell. of Keokuk. who
was sentenced to hang for the murder
of his wife. The Iowa supreme court
reversed the case and sent 1t back for
a new trial. Concerning this case. the
retiring attorney general says:
"The case was appealed to the su-
preme court of the state and argu-
ments filed, and the case was finally
submitted in May. 1915, and just one
year thereafter the supreme court
handed down an opinion reversing the
case, the court holding that, notwith-
standing the brutality OF the murder,
the evidence was insufficient to war
rant finding OF a deliberate intent
to kill. 1t has recently been proposed
that the. defendant be permitted to
plead guilty to manslaughter, the pun.
ishment of which Is eight years in the
penitentiary: If, however. ne earned
his usual good time he would serve
exactly five years and three months.
Considering that the punishment for
forging note. even ORA nominal sum.
and passing the forged instrument. Is
fifteen years in the penitentiary. five
years punishment for the brutal mar
der Of ones own wife seems like
travesty upon justice"
The retiring attorney general recon-
mends the death penalty be abolished
in Iowa. Regarding the number or
criminal cases reversed, Mr.. Cosson
says:
During the biennial period there
were 104 criminal cases disposed Of.
OF this number seventy-one were ar
gued. Of the number argued, thirty
five were affirmed and thirty-f1ve re-
|yersed; one, however, was reversed at
the instance Of the state; sixteen were
affirmed per curiam and fourteen dis
missed"

! Letters have been received from
the Iowa representatives at Washing
ton that inasmuch as Keokuk is the
! only Iowa point which has any chance
to get the government armor plate
shops, they will do everything pos
sible for this city.
Keokuk is going right after the
plant, believing that the many ad-
vantages to be found here cannot
help but recommend the city as a
site to the investigators. Keokuk is
we'll outside Of the 200 mfie limit from
any lake or seacosst line, and is at
be purchased at a fair price. The
committee is looking for place not
closer than 200 miles to a coast line,
and not too far west.
There Is ample land for testing
grounds here. and this city would
seem a very logical point for the pro-
posed plant. The Industrial associa-
ton Is doing everything in its power to
bring Keokuk's. advantages before the

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is us much a blood disease
as scrofu1a OF rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranses the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to, the
seat of the trouble. purifies the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens and
tones the whole system. It builds up.
Ask your druggist for Hoods, and
insist on having 1t. There Is no real
