Irem Warwick because a porseu was lmpro lmpre
erly present handling the tickets as testilled
by the return Judge, he having no right un
der our rules te take any part in the count.
I, however, recognize the great dilllculty or
clearly proving a fraud se ns tesatlslyall
fair-minded men. and realize the great bitter
..e.ss and Imtreil lhat would be aroused in

The sensational developments in the Slax

literally packed the criminal court Tuesday
morning with sjiictatets or .Ul classes el men
and women. Lxtra seatt, provided for tlie
anticipated large attendance el ladles, were
each ene occupied by a representative et the
lair !ex, who took an extraordinary interest
in the proceedings.
The preliminary business of the court hav
ing been disposed el, Ibe jury in the Max
well case and the defendant wero brought
Inte court, and the examination of Deputy
Slierill Kenelick was proceeded with. Slax
well appeared a trille aler than en previous
occasions but he maintained hisfermercalui
and almost indillereiit bearing. Koueflck
testilled that he was present in the circuit
attorney's oillce when Mr. Brooks of Eng
land, called te see the p.isencr. The prose
cution asked the witness te tell the jury the
nature of the interview between Sir. Brooks
mid the defendant. , ,
Mr. Kauntlerey, ortheitelense, asked that
the private words spoken at the interview
and the emotion et the graj haired father be
net laid betore a sensatnm-eekitig publie
nudlonce. The prosecution answered that
they desired te prove that the prisener had
en that occasion thrown aside all disguise,
mid bad ndniilted his Identily-tbat he was

point would net be denied, and the witness
was withdrawn.

The defense asked that tlie coroner, Who

A number of commercial bodies in the

bill, which was takeu up for dis
cussion In the Heuso. The Cincinnati chant chant
ber or commerce, which (peaks as a disinter
ested party In the inatter, has adopted this
among oilier resolutions :
That il would be against sound public
imllcy te carry out the proposed legislation
calculated te eperate against the oleomar
garine and hiittcriue Industries, mid that as
these articles are manifestly proer ones le
be manufactured and seltl for reed purposes
any Hpedal tax would be nu tinjtisllliabln d Is
crimination against legitimate domestic in
dustry, and Rhotildsiet be huposed.
Beth tbe Chicago beard et trade nnd the
livestock exchange make tlie ehit that by
the manufacture of oleomargarine tliu value
of bullocks Is enhanced from two le four
dollars ii head ami that the suppression Of
the industry would cause a less of millions
of dollars lu tbe stock raising in te rests of
tbe country. Reth declare that tlie produc

of the Jioeplo "an acceptable, economical and
wholesome article of feed." The live stock

The price of choice grades of butter Is Iro Ire
quently se high as te place them beyond the
reach of people of moderate means who can

at a low price, but who would, If the pro

te eat peer butter or de vv ItheuL
Te say nothing or these welghtv Industrial

te the proposed legislation are sulllclent te
call ler Its dereat. Congress has the pew or te
tax oleoinnrgino, hut without taxing it Hint
body hat ue right te Interlere with Its manii manii manii

law is net revenue, for no revenue Is needed,
but te suppress the Industry. Such legisla
tion it a gross abuse and a fraud. It is an
attempt le de by Indirect what cannot be done
by direct means. It would set an lnliilteus

Furthermore, It would be a usurpation by
