KALAMA. Wash.. May X (Special.)
Unless the mysterious letter-writer who
knows all about the murder of Jimmy
Connors and the unidentified man who
was. found near here Tuesday should de
liver himself to the officers of ' the' law;
the killing of Connors and the unidentified
man will remain a Cowliti County mys
tery, for the Jury that heard the evidence
against the Baxters, father and son, late
this afternoon returned a verdict of not
truilty. The Baxters were charged with
the murder of Connors, who was shot to
death at Woodland, March 30, but the
Jury. In spite of the strong case of cir
cumstantial ei'ldence which the prosecu
tion wove around them, after deliberating
for less than half an hour, pronounced
them not guilty, and they were dis
charged. It Is evident that the 12 men who heard
the evidence against the Baxters were
largely Influenced by the finding of the
dead man, and the fact that the attorneys
for the defense brought out during the
morning session of the trial that the
members of the posse that shot and cap
tured the Baxters at Woodland, shortly
after the killing of Connors, were under
the Influence of liquor.
Men JXeia Shot From Hear.
'Attorneys Imus and Btone, in order to
prove that both father and son were shot
from the rear, placed both of the de
fendants on the stand. George Baxter,
the father, was shot in the leg and
Thomas Baxter was shot through the
right lung, the ball passing through the
liver and lodging against a' rib', making
4t necessary . to operate upon him before
the bullet was removed. Two physicians
who had performed the operation on the
father and son testified, and so did both
defendants, that the wounds were re
ceived from the rear.- This 'flatly contra
dicted the testimony of 1. W. Flanders
and J. M. Forbes, two of the posse who
were alleged to have done the shooting at
the Baxters on the night of their cap
ture. The testimony of Flanders- against- the
Baxters was most damaging, for he told
the Jury that he had seen the Baxters
standing over Connors as he lay between
the tracks, a few seconds after the shots
were fired, and that after seemingly being
assured that their victim could not es
cape, went a short distance away and
sat down, evidently waiting for him to
die. When it came to the part that he
played In the capture of the supposed
murderers. Flanders swore that no shots
were fired at the Baxters until they be
gan walking towards them. Forbes, the
Woodland saloonkeeper, also testified that
they were trying to escape when fired
upon. Both of the Baxters swore that
they were too drunk to make any attempt
at escape and that they were flred upon
without warning.
Knew Nothing Until Shot.
George Baxter, In a voice so weak that
the jury could scarcely hear him, testi
fied that he had drank himself Into a
state of unconsciousness during the after
noon. He could not tell how he reached
the car In which he was found by the
posse. He said that he could not remem
ber anything from early in the afternoon
until Just a few minutes before he was
shot. He swore that he must have waked
up and got out of the car and Just as he
struck the ground he was shot, for the
pains caused by the shock of the bullet
ploughing through his body was the first
thing that he had remembered since
early in the afternoon.
Tom Baxter's recital, broken in health
as he Is, and looking like a man about to
die at .any moment, had a tremendous
effect upon the minds of the Jurors. His
story, coupled with that of his old father,
who told of how beastly drunk his son
had gotten that afternoon by drinking
straight alcohol, whisky and beer, got
the sympathy of the 12 men. and It ob
tained for them their" freedom.
Discredit Flanders' Story.
Their attorneys also helped them In the
arguments, when they argued that Flan
ders, to shield himself from being arrest
ed and tried for shooting the Baxters,
had manufactured the story of seeing the
Baxters bending over the body of Connors
and of having seen them walk away and
sit down. They also argued that Forbes,
who had a hand In the shooting, swore
that the Baxters were trying to get away,
so as to shield himself.
District Attorney B. I Hubbell, during
his arguments, dwelt at length upon the
strong testimony which had been given
by Flanders, and which was corroborated
by his wife, who had also testified to
having seen the two Baxters bending
over Connors, and of having watched
them while her husband went in search
of the posse.
He also laid considerable stress upon
the evidence of Dr. Bell, the Coroner,
who had attended the wounded men. Dr.
R. B. Darnell had testified that both the
Baxters were very drunk, but Dr. Bell,
in rebuttal, had testified that when he
started to examine Tom Baxter's wound
and had asked Tom who had shot Con
nors, he replied, "1 know, but I'm not
going to give It away."
Before Tom could say anything more,
the father rushed out of a cell and said.
"Tom, Tom, I wish it was me they had
shot." This. District Attorney Hubbell
argued, was positive proof of the guilt of
the pair.
Dramatic Scene in Courtroom.
It was 6:15 o'clock when the Jury an
nounced that they had reached a verdict,
and those who were in the dingy old
courtroom will perhaps never forget the
scene between the Jurors and George
Baxter and his son. When the Jury
filed . Into . their . seats, . father . and son
were seated across the room facing the
Jury box. As soon as A. R. Gray, who
had been chosen foreman, handed the
verdict to Judge W. W. McCredle, and It
to1. WfpMA."1

had been read by the clerk of the court,
George Baxter rushed to the side of his
attorneys and ' grasped them by the
hands. Then he had his lawyers request
of the court that he personally thank the
Jury. With the permission granted, Bax
ter rushed over to the place in front of
the Jurors and raising a long bony finger
aloft, he said:
"You are Just and honorable gentlemen.
As God is above me, we have told the
truth." My son and me never killed
Jimmy Connors. We told the truth. If
we knew who did it. we would have told
It long ago."
Then Baxter shook each juror by the
hand, and once he got them around him
he began to tell of the injustice done him
and his son by the District Attorney and
the other officials.
Tom Baxter, hollow-eyed and staring
"with terror and pain. ' did not' seem to
realize that he had been acquitted. Likjs
a man ina trance he watched what his
father was doing without comprehension.
For a second he seemed about to col
lapse, but Instead he leaned over to me
and asked In a dull whisper, "What was
the verdict?" I told him that he had been
acquitted, and be sank back into the arm
rocking chair In which he had sat during
the two days ot the trial and closed -his
eyes for a second. ' ' '.
Then he- slowly -roseA to his 7 feet ' and
tottered over to where the Jurors were
about his father and tried to thank and
shake hands with them. He was too
weak and had to be assisted to a chair.
A number of the jurors walked over and
grasped him by the hand. They seemed
to be proud of what they had done.
, Letters Set the Men Free.
The acquittal of the Baxters will un
doubtedly be the end of the double mur
der mystery. Whoever wrote those letters
to the county officials, has positive knowl
edge of both crimes, if he did not aqtually
have a hand in the commission of both
brutal murders. The county officials are
without a clew leading to -the -Identity
of the man who wrote the letters. Who
ever he Is, he Is a master destroyer of
human life, and at the same time he has
proven himself an angel of freedom to
the Baxters. He timed his letter writing
to a nicety, and If It was a plot to obtain
the freedom of the two men who were
accused of having killed Connors, It was
well and cunningly done. The letter to
Sheriff Kirby, telling of the confession,
was a clever fake, for from this letter it
would have been impossible to have lo
cated the body of the second victim.
It was through the letter to District
Attorney Hubbell that the body was
found without much hunting. Nothing is
plainer than the fact that the man who
wrote this letter had a hand in the mur
der of the last victim found. That he
had a hand In dragging the body down
the roadbed, across the brushes and of
having helped lift it over the wire fence
and placing It where It waa found. Is
also evident. The murderous letter-writer
also knew there had been nothing left
on the murdered man that would lead to
his identification. The only thing he over
looked was two silver dollars that were
found in each stocking of the dead man,
and a bit of paper on which was written,
"E. J. Gallant, Wichita, Kan., P. O. Box
." The officials do not believe that this
is the dead man's name, but they have
written to the Kansas address. '
That the murdered man was one of the
party of six men that had taken part In
the drunken orgy at Woodland there is
little doubt, for In nis pocket was found
the saloon card of Forbes. Strength Is
given this belief by George Baxter, who,
without knowing anything about the
finding of the body. In describing his
companions of that day, gave a splendid
description of the dead man. He also
described the Mackinaw coat that was
found near the body.
The Jury that heard the case follows:

Little: John Foulke, Kelso; Frank

SAD DAY FOR COREY FAMILY
Shock Great as That Caused
by His Divorce.
ALL ESTRANGED FROM HIM
Vncle Will Preach on Marriage and
Divorce Day Before Wedding.
Father Said He Should Go
to the Penitentiary.
PITTSBURG, Pa., May 2. (Special.)
The formal announcement by Miss Ma
belle Gllman in New York that she would
marry President W. Ellis Corey, of the
United States Steel Corporation, In New
York, May 13, caused great grief In the
breast of J. B. Corey, the aged and
wealthy uncle of the bridegroom. He will
go into a local pulpit the day before his
nephew is married, where It Is expected
he will speak 'of divorces and marriages.
"So Ellis- is going to marry that paint
ed creature of the stage? Well, this is a
sad day for the name of Corey," said the
old coal king today, as tears coursed
down his cheeks.
"Mark you, this marriage will be re
gretted In time." continued Mr. Corey. "It
Is neither human nor decent that a man
should divorce the wife of his youth, the
mother of his children, in order that he
might marry another woman and one of
the stage at ' that."
Resents Uncle's Advice.
"Ellis and I have not been friends,"
continued the failing old man. "I tried to
keep him in the right path when he be
gan to get famous, but he resented it. I
tried to tell him not to run steel mills
on Sunday and offered him other advice,
which he sneered a.t.' ',, .
The marriage of Mr. Corey to the petite
Mabelle. whom he first met in her bath
ing suit at Pittsburg, is looked upon as a
shocking performance by the. staid rela
tives of the head of the United States
Steel Corporation and they have not yet
got over the shock of the divorce in
which Mr. Corey and his wife figured a
short, time ago, and in spite of the state
ment from Miss Gllman that both her
family and 'that of Mr. Corey would at
tend the wedding, it is thought ths Pitts
burg relatives will have nothing to do
with the affair.
Estranged From Father.
A. A. Corey, father of the steel king,
could not be found today, having left
word that he had gone out of town. There
has been a great coldness between father
and son ever since the father announced
that, if Ellis was allowing his wife to

. Former Wire Is Silent,
Mrs. Laura A. Cook Corey, the wife
who got a ' divorce in order that Mr.
Corey might be free to marry the actress,
is in the vicinity of Pittsburg, but her
friends, say she rwill have nothlrig Jo ay
on the matter. She has been spending the
most of her time with her parents Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Campbell, of Swissvale.
However, she has visited frequently at
the home of Alfred "A. Corey, father ot
the steel man. in Braddock.
. Mrs. A. Corey, the mother of the groom-to-be,
is spending this Spring upon a big
farm at the foot of th Allegheny Moun
tains, which a ' Buta to have been pur

Governor Gooding Is Deluged
With Written Threats.
ORCHARD IS MARKED MAN
Informer's Death by Hand of Aveng
er Predicted Citizen Will Also
Run Risk by Serving as
, Jurors In the Trial.
BOISE, Ida., May 2. Counsel for prose
cution and defense In the Steunenberg
murder ease have settled down to their
final preparatory work, and there is every
reason for believing that the trial of
William Haywood,- first of the accused
men. will be commenced on Thursday
next. Various reports ils to moves tend
ing to further delay the trial are in circu
lation, but the attitude of both sides In
dicates that they are ready for trial.
The only preliminary proceeding pend
ing is a. motion, by the defense for a bill
of particulars of the evidence by which
the state hopes to show that Haywood
conspired fo the murder of Governor
Steunenberg. This motion, which" is de
signed to secure a disclosure of the hand
of the state, will be argued before Judge
Wood on Monday Hext: This is not re
garded as likely to delay the trial. The
Idaho code and practice, modelled close
ly upon those of California, make no pro
vision for bills of particulars In criminal
cases, and in the only precedent recorded
in the Idaho reports the court denied the
application, holding that the power ' to
require the furnishing of bills of par
ticulars In general was discretionary with
the court. It is asserted that no right
of appeal goes v(-lth such a motion, and
neither side seems to regard the"mafter
seriously.
Avoid Discussing Case.
This oasis of the American desert to
which the leaders of the Western Fed
eration of Miners have been brought to
answer to the capital charge that they
campassed the murder of a former Gov
ernor In revenge for his activity in sup
pressing disorder in the days of violence
In the Couer d'Alenes seems to grow- in
exterior placidity as the date of the open
ing of the first trial closely approaches.
The officials of the state, county and
city, counsel chosen to present the case
of the state, and men who lead in the
life and work of the community have
reached a point where they decline to
publicly discuss the case or the men at
the bar. The streets, stores, and hotels
present no scenes foreign to the routine
of the day's work. It would seem that
a majority of the community had as
sumed a Judicial attitude toward the cele
brated case and had disciplined Itself In
the face of It The occasional man, free
from alignment or partisanship, who will
discuss the case openly, generally tells
you that Boise knows neither labor
unionist nor mine-owner, knows only
that a cruel murder, one of a long series
of shocking crimes, has been done, that
the state's business is calmly and fairly
to try the men who are accused, to free
them If they are innocent, to hang them
If they are proven guilty; and to do this
fearlessly.
Suppressed Fear of Violence.
But -under the surface of oalra there is
a strong undercurrent of apprehension
and nervousness, tragic In many of Its
aspects. Violence is the ever present
fear.. The position of the prisoners and
their activity through' years of bitter la
bor -warfare, the dissension over their
arrest In Colorado and removal to Idaho,
the rallying of thousands . of working
men to . their support, and the radical
propaganda undertaken in their behalf,
together with the intense feeling against
the 'Mine-Owners 'Association, and other
Incidents have served, rightly - or
wrongly, to make the case in the minds
1 'fQHIlK
W. E. Corey, President of United
States Steel Corporation, Who Will
Marry Mabelle Oilman, After Hav
ing Divorced Wife of His Youth.
and attitudes of thousands a contest be
tween the classes rather than a trial
on a charge of murder.
In few minda is there belief that Hay
'wood. Mover and Pettlbone, their friends
or the men affiliated with them in labor
union circles would approve, much less
encourage, any act of violence at this
time, because such act, it is believed,
would be a fatal error. But there is a
general fear that from the ranks of the
violent radicals there may come a man or
men desperate- enough to- attempt .assas-.
sination, or that the agitation may give
sinister suggestion and inspiration to some
crank or irresponsible.
Threats Pour In on Gooding.
Letters that threaten ' every form of
violence are. pouring Into Boise from all
over the country by the hundreds, arid
most of them are directed to Governor
Frank R. Gooding, who is made largely to
bear-the brunt of all that this celebrated
case invites. Detectives,- -police and
friends of the Governor generally are con
stantly on the alert to block the blow,
and at the Insistence of family 'and frieftds
he has finally and under protest arranged
the routine and movements of hlslife and
work to a point offering the least expos
ure compatible with the performance of
his duty. Mr. Gooding may be in no dan
ger from any source, but he and his
friends live every hour in the chill at
mosphere of danger and to them the trag
edy is ever real.
Orchard's Doom Predicted.
Another man similarly marked in the
belief of many men is Harry Orchard, al
leged to be the assassin hired by the three
prisoners, whbse alleged confession is the
basla of the state's case. Perfectly reason
able men here look at the high witness
chair In the . County Courthouse, shake
their heads seriously and tell you that
Harry Orchard will die in it. They tell
you, too, that if he were turned out of
prison tomorrow his body would be found
within a week. Harry Orchard may live
to die on the gallows for his confessed
part in the murder of Steunenberg, but
such is not the belief of all the men In
this community.
This same apprehension offers a diffi
culty that stands In the way of the prose
cution In securing a Jury. Moreover, this
has been a man-kiiltng country, and, un
der the shadow of a strong suspicion that
there may be avenging murders by cranks
or others, it may prove difficult to secure
12 men willing to run the suspected risk,
even in this country of courageous and
self-reliant men, of finding a . verdict of
guilty, assuming, of course, that the' state
establishes its case.
OPPOSED TO DARROW8 MOVE
Pettlbone Objected to Publication
and Moyer Was Reluctant.
BOISK, Idaho, May 2. (Special.) It
transpires that the statement issued by
C. 8. Darrow, chief counsel for the men
accused of the murder of Frank Steunen
berg, was written by him, and then sub
mitted to them. There seems to have
been a good deal of consultation about It
One was with his associate counsel.
These seem to have assented to it, but
it was some time before the prisoners
all agreed to have It go forth. .
The story goes that Pettlbone stoutly
Insisted that it should not be issued,
holding that It would prejudice them in
the public mind, but he appears to have
yielded the point. Moyer also was some
what reluctant to . have the statement
Issued, but all were won over and publi

WHAT MAKES NATION GREAT

Oration at Unveiling of the
. Statue of McCIellan.
WASHINGTON. May 2. President
Roosevelt, In an address at the unveiling
of the statue to General George B.
McCIellan today, characterized as weak
ness the desire for peace unless it could
be obtained on the right terms. He would
have none of the so-called peace, if It
were merely "another name for self
indulgence, for sloth, for timidity, for the
avoidance of duty." The man who would
do the best for the country in peace, the
President declared, is the man who in
need wil k- well in-war. He continued:
Seek the peace that comes to the Just
man armed, who will dare to defend his
rights. If the need so arise. Seek the peace
grunted to him who will wrong no man and
will not submit to wrong in return. Seek
the pence that cornea to us as tlie peace of
rl gh teousnes'i, the peace of J ust Ice. A sk
peace by your deeds, as your powers warrant
you in asking it, and do not put yourself
In the position to crave It as something to
be granted or withheld at the whim of an
other. Place Spiritual Life First.
If there is another thing which we should
wish as a Nation to avoid. It is the teaching
of those who would reinforce the lower
prompting of our hearts and so teach us
tn uooW .irlv a lift, ,f . rffnrtlMu amt nf
mere material comfort. The material de
velopment of this country, of which we have
a right to be proud, provided we keep our
pride rational and within measure, brings
with It certain great dangers, and one ot
those dangers is the confounding of means
and ends. Material development means
nothing to a Nation as an end In itself. If
America Is to stand simply for the accu
mulation of what tells for comfort and luxury,-
-then H- will- stand for little. Indeed,
when looked at through the vistas of the
ages. America will stand for -much, provided
only that It treats material comfort, ma
terial luxury and the means for acqulrint?
such as the foundation on which to build
the real life, the life of spiritual and moral
effort and achievement.
-True Test of Kicli Men.
The rich man who has done nothing but
accumulate riches is entitled to but the
scantiest consideration; to the men of real
power of discernment he Is an object rather
of contempt than of envy. The test of a
fortune should be two-fold how It waa
earned and how it Is spent. It Is with the
Nation as it is wtth the Individual. Looking
back through history, the Nation that we
respect Is Invariably the Nation that strug
gled, the Nation that strove toward a high
ideal, the Nation that recognised in an ob
stacle something to be overcome and not
something to be shirked.
The Nation Is but the aggregate of the
individuals and what Is true of National
life is and must be true of each of us In
Individual life. The man renders but a
poor service to Nation or to Individual who
preaches rest, ease and absence of endeavor,
as what that Natlun or that Individual
should strive after.
Proud or Years of Striving.
Both you men who fought In blue and
you others who fought In gray, as you look
back in your lives, through the years that
have passed, what Is it in those years that
you must glory in? The times of ease, the
times of fatness, the times when everything
went smoothly with you? Of course not; be
cause you are men, because you are moved
by the spirit of men. What you glory In,
what you hope to hand down as undying
memories to your children, are the things
that were done in the days that brought lit
tle pleasure with them save the grim con
sciousness of having done each man his duty
as his duty needed- t be done. Because in
those years you had it In you dauntlessly to
do your share In the work allotted to you,
your children and your children's children
rise up to call you blessed. Who among you
now would barter the memories of the black
years from '61 to 65 for any gift that could
be given,? " Not a man among you. You
have won the right to feel a pride that none
of your countrymen can feel and you won
the right because you sought not the path
of ease, but the path of rough, disagreeable,
irksome and dangerous duty.
. .Good. )Vomaii Ahead of Soldier.
The President said that we are yet a
good many thousand years short of the
millennium and our business Is to do our
own duty and teach our children to do
their duty In a rough work-a-day world,
"and," he said, "we can not do that duy
by fine phrases." There was one person
in this country, he declared, he put ahead
of the soldier "the really good woman,
the good wife and mother, who has done
her full duty." He said of her:
She often has a pretty hard time, yet the
woman who thus, with labor and , anxiety
brings up her children is . blessed among
women, blessed among men. I do not pity
her in the least. I respect and admire he
and hold her worthy of admiration and
honor. The selfish creature, man or wom
an, who reaches old age, having achieved
ease by shirking duty, is to be heartily de
spised and not envied. Our admiration lr
reserved for him or for her who has dene
the real work which makes the next gen
eration able in its turn to do Its work ia
the country.

nature, incapable of righteous wrath,"
