Once Dismissed By Prosecuting At

Charleston. W. Va., March s.—Hear
ing on the petition of A. Leo Weil, of
Pittsburgh, for a writ of prohibition to

attorney of Kanawha county ami Judge
J. K. Black of the intermediate court
from proceeding further with the in
dictments against him, were set to be
gin to-da_v in the Circuit Court here.
The arguments, in which there is wide
spread interest because of the pronv
ncuco of f»>uic of the persons concerned,
wore expected to coutWuie several days. ;
According to the petition filed by!
Mr. Weil, he was arrested on a Haiti- j
more and Ohio railroad troiu near Wil
liamstown, W. Va., while on his way to,
Parkersburg, to argue a motion in tho [
Federal District Court for the appoint
ment of a master to take testimony ou |
the issues of a bill of complaint he*had'
tiled as general counsel for the Mann-!
facturers' Light ami Heat Company. j
The Public Service Commission had or- i
dered the gas company to reduce its I
rates for natural gas, and the eompany
had appealed from its decision to the j
Federal Court.
The warrant was issued by C. W. j
Dering. a justice of the peace at
Charleston, and charged that Weil had j
conspire! in an attempt to bribe
Charles 11. Bronson, a member of the
Commission. Weil offered to give bail
at Parkersburg or Huntington and thus
save the time of the trip to Charleston 1
but Sheriff Hill, of Kanawha county,
took him to Charleston where he gave
bail in $25,000 before Justice Dering.
The next day a special grand jury was
drawn ami Weil was indicted after \
Charles l>. Elliott, former Adjutant I
General of West Virginia, and Guv B. j
Biddinger, a private detective, h-a.l giv-'
en testimony. Th 0 indictment charged i
that Weil had employed Elliott to bribe
Howard N. Ogden, a member of the
Public Service Commission, to give cer 1
tain testimony in the Federal Court in
the suit of the Manufacturers' Light
and Heat Company against the Public
Service Commission.
In his petition Mr. Weil says that
when he appeared in the court'of Jus-1
tice Dering to answer the charge oaj
which he was arrested. Prosecutor!
Townsend had the charge dismissed..
Weil then gave bond for his abear
ance to answer the indictments in tho
intermediate court.

Satan's Way
Mrs. Kilgore was the pretty young
wife of the elderly viilage pastor. One
day she went into the city with a
friend, and, among other things, bought
a new frock.
"Another frock, my dear?" said her
husband, "Did you need another/"
"Yes," >aid the wife, hesitatingly.
"I do need it. and. besi.hes, it was so
pretty that the devil tempted me."
"But you should have said. 'Get.
Thee behind me, Satan.' Have you for
gotten that!"
"Oh, no! Hut that was what made
the trouble, hubby dear. 1 said, 'Get
thee behind me. Satan," ami he -did,
but he whispered over my shoulder,
'lt just fits yoa beautifully in the'
back!' And I just had to take it then."

An Offender's First Arrest
The first shock of arrest and impris
onment is to the first offender the great
crisis of his life. He realizes suddenly
and vividly that the state is not merely
a political abstraction out of a long
forgotten school book, but a thing alive,
armed with jaiw and claw. The.effect
of this is overwhelming. There live<9
no human animal more penitent and
plastic than the firse offender on his
first day in prison. On that day of all
days the state can mold him easily to
its civic needs. Turn him over to a
man who believes in the bottom good
in him, teach 'him a trade whereby he
may learn to support himself honestly
when released, give him a share in his
earnings, so that he may, even though
in prison. rupport his innocent wife
and helpless children, or, if he is alone,
pave a bit of capital against that black
est day of liberation—in other words,
give hun work and hope, the two
things wliich all men need In order to
live —and you will have set him on
tihe road to citizenship. Deprive him
oi work and hope and you will as sure
ly have set him on the road to crim
inality.—From "The Man in the
Cage."
An Earl's Duel With a Butler
About the middle of tlie last century
the Lord Roseberv of that time was in
Paris, and in paying a call one day
he was received so rudely by the butler
that he complained to his friend of
the servant's conduct. But the butler
had been a non-commissioned officer in
the French army, and as such he chal
lenged Lord Roseiberv to a duel. The
Karl accepted, and two shots were ex
changed without result. But Lord
Roseberv was angered at his own con
descension and afraid his antagonist
mig'ht lay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as a servant, thus
exposing an e«rl to the reproack
having fought with a butler. So he
settled an annuity of 250 pounds on
the mim on condition that, he did not
return to domestic service. The con
dition was faithfully observed on both
sides.
