Court Solving a Dilemma.

But If they plead guilty, the only
thing remaining is to sentence them
to either life imprisonment or death,
as the Judge on the bench might de-
eide. These two punishments are
provided by Iowa law for murder IN
the first degree.
But nobody ever heard of any
court, anywhere, giving a maximum
sentence on plea Of guilty, in any
kind of criminal case. Hence, Judge
Hamilton might feel that he could
not in good conscience sentence the
men to be hanged on their plea OF
guilty.
If they plead not guilty, trial by
a Jury is necessity. In Iowa the
Jury in such cases fixes the punish
ment at either death or imprison-
ment for life, as it chooses. Some
times the jury verdict includes the
death penalty.

is Better to Try Them.

Hence, everybody, from the Judge
to the people who want the two men
hanged in a hurry, hopes that the
defendants will plead not guilty, be
tried by a jury which cannot help
cosvicting them on the evidence, and
have the jury decided whether they
should be hanged or be sent to the
penitentiary for life.
Judge Hamilton feels that exact
Justice will be done by a trial, and
this action cannot take advantage
of the two negroes by inducing them
to plead guilty.
The Fern Reynolds murder trial at
Fort Madison will take the next week
or SO. but Immediately after that
Judge Hamilton will come here and
hurry on the trial OF Morris and
Scott. 1t is believed that they may
be sentenced within month from
this date.

They Were Both Nervous.

The eyes of both the prisoners
shifted neryously about the room.
They were ill at ease and neither
maintained as close attention to the
proceedings as they had done at their
first appearance in the morning.
When ordered to stand during the
reading of the indictments, they
both slowly complied, and during the
reading shifted nervously from one

EVADED STATE TAX.
FIND OVER A MILLION OF BUSINESS ON
WHICH NO TAX WAS PAID.

John Titus, collector OF State rev.
enue, spent four days during the week
in Kent county investigating business
mems accouts. He found -Frederica
residents failed to pay mercantile taxes
on over 100000 last June. In some
instances a business man paid on
$1,000, while his books showed from
$4,000 to $4,000.
As a result of his investigation Kent
county business men must pay on a
million dollars worth of business more
than they did, and must pay to the
State a penalty of 25 per cent.
In Kenton, Clayton, Camden, Wyom-
ing, Harrington, FELTON, and Farming
ton the collector found the discrepan-
cies. When Titus went to Dover he
found that a firm of leading business
men had persisted in not paying on the
full amount, so he swore out warrant
for their arrest. When the constable
notified the parties by telephone they
told him to hold the legal paper and
they would pay that afternoon, and
they did so.

TREE MEMORIAL FOR PATRIOTS

The State of Delaware will have an
impressive memorial to those in this
State who served in the army, navy,
and Marine Corps during the present
war, if present plans materialize.
Deputy Attorney General P. w.
Green has suggested to State Highway
Engineer Upham that Victory Row
Of trees be planted along the State
Highway, with one tree for each per-
son who participated in the war. There
are several plans suggested. One is
to have a row Of trees extending along
the highway in one group. Another
plan is to have three groups, with one
0up along the highway id each coun-
for the men from the respective
counties.
A center OF special court is also pro-
posed for the Delawareans who died
&: The The Tics a particular tree 10 i5
proposed for those who served and
another plan is to have another kind
of tree for those who died in the SER
vice.
The State Highway Engineer has the
planA under consideration and it is
probable that some action will be taken
in the near future for the development
of definite plans for the work.
The idea will mean the planting of
a large number of trees as it is esti-
mated that between 5000 and 10000
men were in the service from this
State. A number of states throughout
the Union have adopted the plan as
the most fitting and lasting memorial
to their sons who participated in the
great world war.
