of the municipal wire's voltage.

scream and looked around In time to
see the unfortunate man desperate
ly writhing with the wire grasped In
his hands. He hastily telephoned the
morgue and Deputy Coroner Arnold
responded. The man was dead when
he arrived. An electrician was sum
moned, who cut the wires and liber
ated the dead man from the horrible
situation. The hands, breast and ab
domen were frightfully burned.

Sumpter. Jan. 27. William Mad
dern. of Boarne. was arraigned this
morning at 11 o'clock before Justice
of the Peuce G. E. Allen, of Sumpter.
upon the charge of murdering Wil
liam Thome, at Bourne, last Friday
nlgbt.
No new evidence was adduced ex
cept the details of the fatal encounter.
Attorney Johns, for the defense,
adroitly drew from the witnesses
that when' the shot was fired the two
men were scuffling; after the shot,
they fell to the floor with Thome on
top. who succeeded In wrenching the
gun from Maddern's hand, and when
bystanders were taking It away from
him he begged to be permitted to use
it. saying: "The a oft b has got
me." The theory of the defense, as
indicated by the attorney's questions.
will either be that the gun was ois
charged accidentally, or th.t It was
fired in self-defense.
Judge Allen denied the request that
the accused be permitted to give ball
and he was held to the circuit court
on the charge of murder.
Angelo Perra shot and killed Jo
seph Matencl at Butte, as the result
"f a quarrel about an unknown sub

Washington, Jan. 27. Attorney
Van Cott opened the argument for
the 'defense in the Smoot Inquiry case
this morning. He stated the defense
would bo along the lines ot Interfer
ence of the church In temporal affairs,
particularly politics, and called atten
tion to the fact that until 1890, the
Mormons had for many years exclud
ed from politics. They naturally
were democrats, but when they re
alized It was to their best Interests
to be benefited by protection, there
followed a revulsion.
He reviewed the growth of the fed
eral constitution, showing that free
dom In religious belief was carefully
safeguarded at every stage. "Sena
tor Smoot," he said, "Is not charged
with' violation of law, but with be
lieving In revelation, with holding a
religious belief. He has never re
ceived a revelation, but Is to be pun
ished for something he may commit,
but has not."
