required to administer them, lie has
his rules to go by and moee must oe

like us all. the Judge la only human,

make mistakes, but not Intentionally.
There la no desire on his part to
make It hard for the man on trial, and
I would like. In closing, to Impresa
the fact that the jurist today la trying
to lift up. not to pull down. In my
own case I hare granted leniency and
paroles In some cases which, to me.
seemed to warrant the action, and few

FATHER IX COURT.
Pathos Attends Court Proceedings
of Coble Murder Judge
Smiles at Antics.
OLYMPIA. Oct. 8. (Special.) De
spite the fact that father Is on trial
for his life, the five little children of
George H. Wilson, the man accused of
murdering Mr. and Mrs. Archie Coble
in their home at Rainier on the night
of July 10. 1911, play about the court
room. Their mother has to take them
Into court as ahe herself is in at
tendance and she saya she has no one
to care for them, as all are small and
have to be watched continually.
Saturday afternoon the little girl of
about S years, nearly broke up the
trial for a few minutes when she
solemnly marched across the floor In
side of the railing with a man's hat
jammed down over her little head. She
had been playing about the gate that
bars the public from where the at
torneys sit. The gate swinge both
ways and ahe passed out. picked up
the hat of an Interested male specta
tor who paid no attention to her and
then gained the center of the floor be
fore any one noticed her. Judge
Mitchell had to rap long and loud to
restore order, but he himself had a
smile in hla eyes as he watched her.
The presence of the children adds
much pathos to the trial. The family
is poor and while the children are
clean and neatly dressed they show
the need of attention. The four girls
antt one boy. together with the wife,
are continually In attendance at the
trial.
