The desperate ride home with the bleeding and lifeless body crushed into the small space in the frost part of the machine, the bosbani coldly sit ting against the blbod-covere 1 head of his wife, were graphically detailed to the jury. Only passing attention was given by Wendenburg' to th& pcrchaae of the gon by Paul Beattie. a cousin of the accused. The defense had claimed, he said, that on Paul's story alone was built the case of the prosecu tion, but he held aloft the blood-stain ed clothing of the prisoner "as the mute evidence of the crime, a; d asked : "Do you want any other evidence?" Blood flecked tne lower fringe of the shirt in deep black blots; not a mark was on either sleeve of shirt cr c oat. The Drisuner had said that he hell his wifelwhh one hand and teer-f ed his car with the other but the absence of blood on the aru&, the prosecutor declared, gave the lie to his stcry. Not alone with the colthing did the piosecutor disentangle what he termed "the cheapest fabrication of the cheapest murder," hut he shouted shame at the prisoner for his relations with a mere slip of a girl, from the age of 13 until within his own married life, and held her forth as the motive for the crime. "And the prisoner admits that it was his passion," said Mr. Wenden burg. "Yes, it was passion, but pas sion born of the devil, and passion that sent to death his wife so that he might continue his vicious pleasure." Mr. Wendenburg concluded his ad dress a few minutes after 5 p. m. A brief respite was given the jury and at 528: o"iocck it began consideration of the case. JUDGE LECTURES PRISONER Judge Watson delivered an impn a- sive speech to the prisoner He told how the young man bad stained his own life and that of the community in which be lived by his sordid acts. When the trial first began, said Judge Watson, be had hoped that Virginia might be cleared of the crime for which not only the State felt shame, but the entire country deprecated. He had hoped that counsel would prove the defendant innocent, but the evi dence, he regretted to note, was all- convincing and overwhelming. j Overruling the motion of counsel for j a new trial, Judge Watson, however, I in order to give counsel an opportuni-1 ty to apply for writ of error when the I court of appeals meets in November, granted a stay of execution for ninety days.

A pCiltical sense- tion was sprung by HL W. Wheeler, Democratic central cemmiftteeman and editor of the Herald. of Quincy, III., at the round-up cr Hearst uemocrats held here yesterday. Editor Wheeler from tUe floor of the conference re- pudiated what; he termed 'Hearstism" and declared that Illfno a Democracy will have none of it. Thi3 utterance of Wheeler proved the sebaation of the gathering. The meeting was called by progrea- sive democrats with the object of re- organizing the Democratic Illinois and wresting ithe party in national committeeship from Rogr C. Sullivan, cf Chicago.

Wiuston Journal A Biblical Contest. The Chicago Tribune tells of a Bib lical contest which is to take place shortly at Winona Lake. Indiana, and quotes a few of the questions as sam ples of what are likely to be asked. State the number of days it rained before t be flood. Who adopted Moses after he was weaned? Who killed one thousand men with tfis jawbone of an ass? Name the only woman judge. Whom did Ruth marry? Name the breadth of Noah's ark. Name the first musician mentioned. State a single fact about each ot the two Ananiases of Acts. How often did Paul say be was beaten with rods? How many sheep did Solomon offer at the dedication of the temple? Repeat the fifth commandment with out missing a word. In what parable are these words. 4Safe and sound?" "The contestants," The Tribune says, "will stand on the auditorium platform and only take their seati when they fail to answer correctly the question" One would not imagine that nianv of the contestants are like ly to get tired standing.

Mrs. Stowe' states the truth effective ly when she says: "Praise is sunshine; It warms, it inspires, it promote! growth; blame an 1 rtbufcs are rain and hail: they beatdown and bedrag gle even though tbey may at times be necessary. John Rusiin in his book, "Sesam and Lillies, says: Ttie greatest efforts of the race hare always been traceable to the love of praise. "We live by admiration, says another wiier, but I prefer to say y We live apprecia tion." For lack of appreciation many a fine spirit has fainted by the way, many a loving heart has shut itself up in loneliness, many an aspiring soul has fallen short of success.
