MURDER IN SECOND
DEGREE, VERDICT OF
JURY IN CASEY TRIAL

at Hard Labor in

ing Midnight Scene
an Impressive One.
We find the defendants Leona and
Burrill Cisey guilty of murder in the
second degree, with a recommendation
for mercy.
Such was the finding of the jury at 11
o'clock Friday night, in the now famous
Casey trial for murder.
It was an impressive scene in the.
court room, when the verdict was di -clared.
Perhaps 200 persons, men and
boys were present drawn by an impt 1
ing fascination, that is not explainable
Not electrocution, but imprisonment,
thia is terrible enough, yet the defen
dants gave no visible signs that they
felt the sentence. The crowd leaned
forward to not every expression and
to hear every word of Judge or coun
sel or Solicitor, that might be uttered
in the closing scene of sentencing the
husband and wife, with the poor inno
cent babe, unconscious of the doom
awaiting its parents, that mut in de
gree for ever bear the stigma of shame.
Immediately upon the verdir.t being
rendered Mr. Mclver, for the defend
ants, made an appeal which was not
granted, the counsel Bta'.ing his objec
tions. Judge Carter in passing the sentence.

Danger in Senate's Failure To Kat
ify Nicaraugan
Loan.
Wnshingto", Oct. 13. Secretary of
Sla'e Knox, whi has been spending the
sumnv r and early autumn in the North
aid at II t Springs, has returned to
Washington to take up the question of
the loan to be m-ide by American bank
i ri to the government of Nicaragua for
the purprse of liq Hating the national,
foreign and internal indebtedness.
This situation has been made acute
by the announc ment of the British
Kovernment, which, it is understood,
his offici illy reached the State Depart
ment, that if payment of i s $5,00 000
claim against Nicaragua ijnot m ide by
October 21 proceedings will be institu
ted to c illect the monpy. The United
Stales U not in p sition to ask Great
Biitain to withhold its suit on this
ch im, inasmuch as American credi'ors
would be interested in such action, and
Great Britain would likely deciJe that
British ch-ims are as important as those
of Americans.
The question of the Monroe doctrine
is regarded as a most delicate one in
view of the declaration that has been
m;.de by the United States The Slate
Department may be forced to acknowl
edge that it is ii capable of upholding
the famous doctrine in the face of Eu

Iniiiit've, referendum anl recall were
termed the weapons of monocracy by
Archbishop Ire and in an add'ei-s at trie
banqut of the Army o the Tennessee
here Wednesday night.
"Th clamor no v is hoard," Arohbia
hon Ireland said, "that the ng iniz itii n
of American democracy such as the n -public
has knwn for a century und a
quarter must be altered, torn awnHer,
under the pretence that with it the pec -pie

but a passing ebullit on of feeling
"Democracy, yec; monocracy, never,
And toward mohocracy we are now bid
den to wend our way. Tne shi bboleths
of the clamor the initiative, referen
dum and recall -put. into general prac
tice, as the evang- lists of the new so
cial gospel would fain have therr, are
nothing more nor less than the madne s
of de'iiocracy . The highest and purest
mor.il virtues run into extrein ea become
evil so with democracy.
"'Mav we not, it is aslod, t"U;t the
psople'.' Yea, we tnmt the people, a?
the framers of our Constitution tras'ed
them; as the people trust themselves
when in'erests other than (political are
at st ke, remitting thine interests to
experts. We trust the people when
they treat matters with which they are
conversant,
"In the long run American public
opinion will be sure to right itself: the
misfortune i', as we know tio well, the j
people may suffer from a temporary ex- '
citemenr. From the conseq iences of j
such excitement wesh u d s rive to save
the republic.
"With the ini'ii'ive and referendum,
legislative bodies become mere bureaus ;
f registra'ion a id exc'iang for popu- !
lar views and opini in.-. All conclusive
au'hori y is lost to them. A small (rat
ion of the pjpul-.ti m :;ets Ihe michm

subj'.'i ts, the most abstruse ;in 1 compli

we must admit, as the problems regard
ing which the whole people have no ude-:
q :ate knowledge, to which in tl e thiocB

unable to give the re iuisite reflection.
"But the worst is t'ie recall. Stability
and independence in i Hue for a (ix"d
period of ti me are easenliiil. Liable to
recall, the official is continilou ily watch
ful of ulilic opinion. And then we
must remember the peril to the public
peace of the commonwealth. Fifteen
or even ten percent, of the voters at a
preceding election gathered probably
from til" defeated party - iti'iy torce
the tee.all and bring on the turmoil of a
nr campaign.
"Hut what if the official has proved
himself unworthy of Inn trust'.' Our
lawgard Constitution provide a ri inedy.
Let him be impeached and judid by
well established and in partial courts.
"The peril from the recall is shown
when it is extended to the ju liciary. If
