yond a doubt indeed proves by the
facts admitted 20 be true by the de-
fence. that the defendant in this case
killed the deceased under such cir
cumztances as TO constitute murder
'sThe only defence futerp0ssd was
that the defendant at the time OF the
commission Of the act. was insane
and lacked criminal responsibility for
her act This was the only defence
possible. The evidence already ad-
duced by the state in its case in chief
was Of such a character as to pre-
elude any other defence ! 90 DOT
mean to criticise counsel for the de-
fence In this regard I desire TO state
that the defendant has had the hene-

the case in her behalf as Il was pos
sible for legal talent to present In
presenting such defence. the court
aclrnoWled Ees that they but performed
a duty which they owed 10 this court
and to their client.
Emotional Insanity No Defence.
7 have no doubt Of the sincerity OF
the medical experts stating their
opinion as &c the insanity OF the ac-
cused. but the condition OF mind
which they attributed 70 her at the
viz, emotional temporary insanity, Is
not recognized In the law. Public
policy cannot give TO emotions which
arefof anger and revenge the char
criminal responsibility- While that
issue had TO 90 10 the jury, 70 this
court the claim Of insanity did not
address itself seriously.

possibly be made which could prompt
this court to take the action IL now

No End TO Possibilities.
Once said Mr. McNary 40 per-

Mexico. When il was cut off, we
wondered what we could DO Tor SIX
months But We have gone ten years
without that large amount Of bust
neess and have grown by leaps and

Mr.. Bassett had pointed out in his
talk before Mr. McNary's main speech
that we need not expect to run the
chamber Of commerce on less or to
pay less taxes. for the city is grow

money to run it.
The Importance Of the Washington

ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE

1t takes all kind of peaple to make
world. Some people do not say
much, but do things; then again there
are some who say great deal and
don't do anything but make loud
noise. Some men are imbued with
the kind of patriotism that shoots the
gun at the enemy, and others have the
brand of frecracker enthusiasm that
shoots nothing more dangerous than
their mouths. Some there are who
have the national honor deep in their
minds and hearts, but who set off no
pinwheels about it and others are
strong on the band music stuff most
ly chin. Doubtless they all mean well
enough, according to their lights, but
when it comes to real patriotism it is
the man who has the right kind Of
fighting spirit in him that counts, al
though he be quiet chap who never
waves the flag around his head and
gives three cheers so loud it rips
up the atmosphere and Injuries the
drums of all the ears for miles around.

at Massena on September l and later
found at Earlham, where the Ran
dolph woman and Salla were arres-

on the car led to the undoing of the

aroused the suspicious of the officers
at Earlham and led to the arrest of

WHITE EAGLE is COMING

The Custer Battlefield Hiway has
just contracted with White Eagle a
noted Indian scout to advertise the
Custer Battlefield Hiway. White
Eagle will travel the Hiway with In
dian pony, dressed in Indian regalia,
as far as Omaha, and will distribute
fifty thousand new pamphlets, telling
of the towns along the route, scenic
attractions and excellent tourists
camping grounds on the route.
White Eagle will then travel from
Omaha by rail as far as New York
City, stopping along the route at all
the important towns, distributing the
literature and preparing articles for
some of the leading newspapers in
the Unitde. States. It is an adver-
Using stunt that is worth thousands
of dollars for every town and city
along the route and again demon
strates that the C. B. H. never lets up
in its advertising campaign which will
mean that every town on the Hiway
next season will see the biggest in
crease in business ever experienced in
the northwest.
White Eagle will cover over 5000
miles on this trip and be gone all
winter and Secretary Fisher has just
closed contract with one of the
largest moving picture concerns in
the country to reproduce White
Eagles visits in the different commun-
tiles.
