MINISTER ON THE STAND
tier. Bryan C. Roberts Tells of the
Eccentricities of the Spokane
Boy Who Murdered
nis Father.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 24. (Spe
cial.) At this juncture In the Sidney
Bloane murder trial, and Tor another
week at least. Insanity will be the dom
inant thought of those now pulling
every string to save the neck of the 18-year-old
boy accused of slaying his
father for the purpose of robbery.
Of the utmost importance to the de
fense is the ruling which will be given
Monday morning by Trial Judge Munke
on a question which the court took
tinder advisement this afternoon when
the session adjourned. This question
is as to whether or not the defense is
to enjoy the right-to introduce its testi
mony leading to a demonstration of"
hereditary insanity on the part of the
youth in a chainlets manner, or wheth
er it will be compelled to have the
evidence given In uniformity, beginning
with the showing that the boy's de
rangement ia to be traced to the father
before the defendant's conception.
By far the most Important testimony
was that given by Rev. Bryan a Rob
erts. For a period of Ave years, from
18S5 to 1900, Rev. Mr. Roberts was a
resident of Spokane, assisting in. the
conduct of St. John's School, under the
auspices of the Episcopal Church. He
Is now in charge of Gray's Episcopal
Church, at Boston, Mass.
The testimony today was substan
tive of the insanity plea. Witnesses
followed in rapid succession, who told
of Sidney Sloune's eccentricities and
Indiscretions, bordering on insanity, of
which he had been guilty in his early
youth. The strong features introduced
by the defense in its efforts to prove
Bidney sloane's mental derangement
were:
Rev. Mr. Roberts testified that Sidney
imagined himself a goddess, and he
i.tn- naked through the. Sloane resi
dence, in the presence of three women
visitors and the witness. He said Sid
ney had mythology read to him at his
home when he was about 10 years of
tige; that from observations while at
pohool and at home, he had formed the
cpinlon that Sidney was insane.
Miss May O. Boydston, his former
schoolteacher, said Sidney would sit
Fucking a thumb and dreaming, and
was not broken of the habit even when
the witness tied the thumb with a
string; that he was deficient in his
earning, and was only advanced half
a year after spending one year in her
class.
Miss Minnie Kilner, who taught
Sloane in kindergarten, says he would
be tardy an hour or two hours, and
when reprimanded would not realize
he was late. She never knew of anoth
er child like Sidney Sloane in her 13
years' experience in conducting a
kindergarten.
Professor B. F. Boone said Sidney
would steal small articles of wearing
fiDDarel from Oth(r students. nnA th
latter were compelled to lock thefr
doors.

HEARING ON O. R. & X. CASE
Railroad Commission and Gralnbuy-
ers Attorneys Present Arguments.
SEATTLE. 'Wash., Nov. 24. (Special.)-
Assistant Attorney-General A. J. Falknor.
representing the railroad commission,' and
Harold Preston, lor the local grain
buyers, argued all day today that the O.
li. & N. Co. had no action against the
railroad commission's Joint wheat rate
order. The railroad attorneys will answer
Monday. "
The light today developed the position
of the railroads Is that the joint rate
order contravenes the Federal statutes
that give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission control over interstate business,
in that it would divert trafflc from Port
land to Puget Sound ports, especially
wheat intended for export; that it dis
criminates between steam and electric
roads and that the Legislature, having
fixed maximum wheat rates In 1S97. can
not give a commission authority to undo
this work. .
In their argument today the state s rep
resentative and the grain buyers at
torney paid no attention to the conflict
between state and eFderal statutes. The
Insisted that the Legislature has authority
to classify carriers and that the act of
1S97 is repealed by the subsequent rail
road commission act.

SEATffLE. Wash., Nov. 24. (Special.)

Paul Dormitzer, re ti. irerree ana fa. Jj.
Forrest were cited by Superior Judge
Frater this morning to appear in "the

WEB IS FOUND GUILTY
DEFENSE OFFERS NO EVIDENCE
AND WAIVES ARGUMENT.
Verdict Finds Defendant Guilty on
Five of the Six Counts of
the Indictment.
MOSCOW, Idaho. Nov. 24, (Special.)
The land fraud trials in the Federal
Court of Idaho ended today, so far as
the present term is concerned, with the
conviction of William Dwyer, charged
with subornation of perjury, upon five
of the six counts upon which he was
indicted. The defense offered no evi
dence and waived argument to the
Jury.
The District Attorney made a brief
statement to the jury in which he ad
mitted the evidence did not sustain the
second count against Dwyer, and asked
the jury not to consider the count at
all. The jury deliberated three-quarters
of an hour in reaching a verdict.
It is presumed Robnett and Dwyer
will receive sentence Monday. They will
ask for an appeeal and for the granting
of a stay' bond pending appeal in case
imprisonment Is part of the penalty.
That the grand, jury is still engaged
on lana cases Is evidenced by the fact
that the District Attorney asked that
Mrs. Justice and her daughter, who were
witnesses In the Dwyer case, be not ex
cused, as he had further use for them.
Court will doubtless adjourn Monday.
There will be no more criminal cases
tried at this term.

HOT FIT TO MARRY
Washington Supreme Court's
Decision in Zook Case.
SUED" BY MISS GROVER
Agreement to Marry Between People
Afflicted With Tuberculosis Is
Held Not to Bo Bind
ing Upon Cither.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Nov. 24. (Spe
cial.) An opinion that has been
awaited with interest by the law and
medical professions and others was
handed down today by the Supreme
Court in the breach of promise case
of Grover vs. Zook, from King Coun
ty. The Judgment of the lower court
is reversed and the action ordered dis
missed. Zook, whose parents 8led of pulmon
ary tuberculosis (consumption), and
who had a hereditary taint of the dis
ease himself, became engaged to mar- 1
ry Miss Grover, who was seriously af
fected with the same malady The Su
preme Court holds that such an agree
ment between a man and woman thus
afflicted is not binding upon either,
and that either may withdraw there
from without being liable in damages
for breach of promise. . The decision is
based solely upon the ground of pub
lic policy regard for the health and
happiness of all concerned, and par
ticularly in consideration of unborn
children.
The opinion is written by JUrfge Root
and concurred in by all the other
judges. A large number of authorities
are cited both legal and medical and
copious quotations taken from many
supporting this court's conclusions.
Among other things the court says:
"In the domain of morals it Is a
maxim that a bad promise Is better
broken than kept. Moral considera
tions must have a predominating in
fluence upon such a question as now
confronts us. In fact, they constitute
the reason, the basis and the life of
the law applicable in a case of this
character.
"The most profound philosophers
Join with the wisest statesmen in
maintaining the proposition that the
home.is the unit of the state, and that
the character of a people and the sta
bility and welfare of the Nation must
largely depend upon the healthful and
wholesome Influence of the home life.
By reason of this we find the home
and the members thereof, especially
the young and dependent, sheltered by
the protecting care t various stat
utes, all being evidences and expres
sions of that public policy which deems
the home and its Inmates appropriate
objects of the solicitude and care of
the state. - .
"The paramount consideration in
volved in the determination of this
case is not that appertaining solely to
the parties in this action (although
as to each of them it Is of great im
portance), but it is as to the commun
ity, the state and to humanity in gen
eral. Here we have a man and woman
engaged to be married. The man is
of a family several members of which
have died with pulmonary consump
tion. Tho woman is afflicted with the
same disease to such an extent that
it becomes necessary for her to go to
a distant portion of the country to re
cuperate, which she does, returning
with the affliction still upon her and
with small, if any, assurances of re
covery. Under these circumstances, If
the marriage were to be consummated.
what would be the natural conse-j
quences to be anticipatear
"Unconditional promises of marriage
exchanged by man and woman Imply
respectively that each is physically,
morally and legally competent to enter
the status of matrimony and capable,
in so far as he or she knows or has
reason to believe, of effectuating the
principal purposes of the marriage re
lation. One of the most Important
functions of wedlock Is the procrea
tion of children. Offspring are the nat
ural result and ofttimes the chief pur
pose of marriage.
"That the thought of bringing a
child Into the world should be one of
the most serious that can engage the
mind of a human being needs but .to
be suggested. Born amidst the most
favorable environment, there lies be
fore every babe a life of uncertainty
so great that no worthy parent may
contemplate it without a tremor or ap
prehension. Thus launched upon the
I sea of time and eternity, what parent
can dwell upon the oirtn 91 nis cnuu
without the keenest sense of anxiety
and responsibility? If the child born
In health and with a body of vigor
be a matter of deep concern to a par
ent, what must be said of the advent
of a babe burdened with the heredi
tary plague of consumption?
"That pulmonary tuberculosis is
both contagious and hereditary as well
as Infectious admits of little, if any,
doubt- That a mother eeriously HI
with that disease and a father with a
hereditary taint thereof In his blood
could bring forth a child exempt
therefrom is unbelievable. For par
ents thus afflicted to bring into the
world a child would be not only det
rimental to the welfare of the state
anA n offense to the Instincts or nu
manlty, but It would be, as against the
Innocent babe, a moral wrong most
abhorrent. Such a child must of neces
sity be a burden to Itself and others
and devoid of the Joys and blessings
that make life endurable.
"In declining to carry out his prom
ts of marriaere. it may be presumed
that appellant apprehended the natural
and legitimate consequence of such a
union. In addition to the thought of
progeny, there would be also that 01
the aggravation of the disease as to
both himself and prospective wife, the
medical expert evidence showing that
the intimate association of married life
would tend to augment the ravages of
the malady upon each."

drug at aii, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the Etomacj and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The' daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of It is, that no
possible narm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benet
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad
vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to ail
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth ana
throat; I also believe the liver is great,
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
they cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drugstores, and although. ln Borne
sense a patent preparation, yet I be
lieve I set more and . better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In
any of tne ordinary charcoal tablets."

DESECRATE IRISH GRAVES
ATTORNEYS ESCAPE BEFORE
WARRANTS ARE SERVED.
Quartet Went to Old Country to Get
Evidence In the Sullivan
Will Contest.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 24. (Special.)
Four Seattle attorneys, who went to
Ireland to' unearth evidence as to the
relationship or a score of claimants to
the $1,000,000 estate of John Sullivan,
were compelled to flee from that island
to escape service of warrants Issued for
desecrating graves in a Cork cemetery.
The attorneys had opened a numbes of
graves said to contain bodies of Sulli
van's relatives to look at and photograph
breastplates that might give a clue as
to the relationship of some of the claim
ants. Robert W. Prignore, Assistant County
Attorney, who claims Sullivan died in
testate; J. B. Howe, law partner of
Senator Piles, who represents Cork
claimants; Neai Bolster, a court com
missioner, and W. A. Keene, attorney
for an alleged brother, were the four
attorneys involved. .
London newspapers made a sensation
of the opening of the graves, and even
the staid London Times ferociously de
nounced the American attorneys. The
outcry of London newspapers against the
opening of the graves was so loud that
Irish officials were compelled ' to take
action.
In some way the story has leaked out
Attorney Howe learned of the warrants
and he forestalled their service for a
few days. In the meantime the quartet
of attorneys hurried through their in
spection of grave plates and then fled
from the country before they could be
arrested.
The legal party returned - today -with
the mass of evidence they had collected.
There is a law in England against the
opening of graves. Once before in the
Suluvan case graves were opened, but
the attorneys got away without dis
covery. Sullivan died in 1900, leaving property
now worth $1,000,000. Besides the county
half a hundred claimants assert rela
tionship and claim the estate.
