A. Haloway, Arrested While Gamb
ling: With Sirs. Aldridere's Morey.
A. Haloway, colored, was arrested
Friday morning charged witii stealing
a pocketbook from Mrs. Clara Aldridge,
who works in Wehe's photograph gal
lery. She left her purse containing
about $5 in money on one of the tables
in the gallery. The colored woman who
cleans the rooms was unable to be there
yesterday, so she sent her daughter,
who is Haloway's wife. Haloway went
to the gallery with her, and seeing the
purse on the table took it.
The police were called. They went to
Haloway's home, but he was not there,
so they went to the gambling room at
1318 Qulncy street, the place that was
raided by the police several weeks ago
and there they found him.
Haloway would not admit his guilt
at first, but the women, his wife and her
mother, persuaded him to tell what he
had done with it. He then told the po
lice that they would find the purse in
the alley back of Steinberg's, which was
true, but the money, except 70 cents,
was gone.

PUR OF BMKt i BERRY'S ICE SIU75.
LOOKS LIKE HOLiAN.
The primary election is being held this
afternoon to choose a nominee of the
Republican party for the office of rep
resentative of the Thirty-eighth district
to succeed Harry Safford, deceased.
Oakland and Tecumseh townships and
the First and Second wards comprise
the district. It will not be known until
late this evening who has been made the
choice of the party.
Councilman J. B. Betts and M. C.
Holman are the two candidates asking
for the nomination and a Republican
nomination in this district is equivalent
to an election. Mr. Betts is a Burton
man, while Mr. Holman is for Curtis,
as it was Curtis who suggested his nom
ination. Otherwise Mr. Holman is un
pledged. Mr. Holman himself says that
he is unpledged and that he wants the
office so that he can work for the in
terest of Topeka in the coming legis
lature, which means for the Semi-Cen-tennial
exposition.
Mr. Holman has never been in politics
as a candidate, but he has proven him
self a hustler in canvassing. He seems
to have the best of it at the primary
and will probably secure the nomina
tion. Mr. Holman and his friends are very
anxious that only Republicans Bhall
vote at the primary, and they have
taken the precaution to have special po
licemen stationed at the voting places in
order to keep out Democratic votes.
They have also secured the Republican
poll books and are keeping watch in
that way, so that it may not be said
when the result is declared that it was
fraudulent on account of men not mem
bers of the party voting as it was
charged they did at the primary in the
spring.
The polls opened at 2 o'clock this af
ternoon and will close at 7.
MYSTERIOUS MAN.
(Continued from First Page.)
Morrison. Each count of the information
charges murder in the first degree and
included in each count are the inferior
offences or degrees of felonious homi
cide, of murder in the second degree and
manslaughter in its several degrees.
The instructions continue:
"The defendant is presumed to be in
nocent until the contrary Is proven. In
nocent of the offense charged and inno
cent of each and every essential element
of such offense. The burden is upon the
state to establish the guilt of defend
ant by the evidence, to your sat
isfaction beyond a reasonable doubt,
and if, after a consideration of all the
evidence in the case, you entertain a rea
sonable doubt whether her guilt is satis
factorily shown, she must be acquitted
and if you entertain a reasonable doubt
as to which of two or more degrees of the
offense charged she is guilty, she may be
convicted of the lowest degree only.
"If any one of the jury, after having
considered all the evidence in the ease
and having consulted with his fellow jury
men, shoul entertain a reasonable doubt
of the defendant's guilt, then the jur
can not find the defendant guilty."
Judge Shinn defined justifiable defense
and said:
"If Clara Wiley Castle made an unlaw
ful assault and attack upon the defendant
and the defendant had reasonable grounds
to believe that she was in danger of be
ing killed, or of receiving great bodily
harm from said Clara Wiley Castle she
had a right to take such steps as to her,
under the circumstances, reasonably
seemed necessary in order to save her
own life or to save herself from great bod
ily harm, even to the taking of the life
of said Clara Wiley Castle."
Judge Shinn told the ejury that if they
believed beyond a reasonable doubt that
the statement presented by the prosecu
tion as the dying declaration of Clara'
Wiley Castle was made while her mind
was clear and at a time when she knew
she, would die from the wounds Inflicted
by Jessie Morrison, they should consider
it as a death bed statement.
When Judge Shinn concluded, he an
nounced that he would place no limit on
the arguments of the attorneys. So the
four lawyers for the state and the four
for the defense have the privilege of talk
ing as long as they wish, ft is possible,
according to the lawyers, that the argu
ment will continue until Tuesday noon.
E. B. Brumback, county attornev, de
manded a first degree verdict, and said
in the course of his remarks:
"If you find the defendant guilty. It will
mean that every citizen of this common
wealth will be secured in the safetv of his
horns. But if you decide the other wav,
it will render safety uncertain and there
is no telling what moment our homes
will be invaded and our near dear ones
stricken down by an assassin's hands.
Clara Wiley Castle was literally hacked
to pieces, while surrounded bv the sup
posed security of her own home. This is
not denied. It was one of the most atro
cious crimes in the annals of Kansas.
Who did It? Jessie Morrison; she ad
mitted it on the stand herself.
"As to the motive do you think that
Clara Castle in the early sunrise of a
long and happy married career was plan
ning to commit murder that morning?
No. no. no!"
The lawyer described in detail the crime
and said that the evidence showed that
Jessie Morrison had deliberated planned
the murder of Clara Castle. She went
there, he said, with murder in her heart
and seeking revenge. She was provoked
because Olin Castle had married Clara
W iley and she was determined to wreck
a nappy home.
The emphatic plea of Prosecutor Brum
back did not affect the prisoner and she
and the different members of the Morri
son family who surrounded her appeared
to be in better spirits than at any time
-during the trial.
V- J- Mooney of Eldorado opened for
the defense. "Mr. Brumback has told
',?"'., sal2 he- "that Clara Castle was on
the threshold of a happy married life. I
want to say to you that the little grave
upon the hill is a happier place for her
than life would have been with Olin Cas
tle, if he had shown himself to be the
kind of a man that he was before his
marriage.
Mr Mooney said he believed that Mrs.
Csstle, if she were starting out in a happv
career of marriage, would reasonablv call
111 the woman whom she hated and who
had made her jealous and would remove
her from her path.
Mr. Mooney was interrupted bv the noon
recess. Olin Castle was not present dur
ing hi3 argument.

DOCTORSAT WAR
City and County Authorities In
a Controversy
Concerning Treatment of In
digent Cases of Siclmess.
INVALIDS NEGLECTED
While Physicians Discuss Ex
tent of Their Duties.
County Seems Determined to
Force Issue on City.
The controversy concerning the obli
gations of the county and city physi
cians In the treatment of indigent cases
shows no signs of settlement. On the
contrary it has been augmented by an
incident which transpired last night.
Several weeks ago the county com
missioners, the county physician, the
county attorney," city physician and the
poor commissioner called upon the at
torney general.- It was agreed that the
county physician should care for all
pauper cases except contagious and in
fectious diseases in the city, these latter
cases to be cared for by the city physi
cian. This was a definite understanding,
but the county commissioners are
charged with evading the agreement.
Last night the police telephoned to
Dr. Hogeboom, city physician, tnat
there was a sick man at the Rock Isl
and depot who needed attention at once.
Dr. Hogeboom declined to attend the
case, and told the police that they
should call Dr. Ellinger, the county
physician.
Dr. Ellinger refused to attend the case
unless he had an order from the poor
commissioner. The order could not be
cbtained, and the sick man was left in
the depot.
This is not the first case -where suf
ferers were neglected because of the dis
agreement between the city and the
county as to who should take care of
sick people who chance to be in the city.
If the police find a person in immedi
ate need of medical attention and call
upon the county physician he will tell
them that he can not visit the patient
until he has a letter from Mr. Hale,
the poor commissioner. Dr.' Hogeboom,
the city physician, has received orders
that he shall .attend only cases at the
police station and contagious diseases
in the city, and he is not obliged- to call
on other cases. This is the way the
matter stands.
Several weeks ago a young man on
South Quincy street was shot. The
county physician would not attend him
because he is not required to make call3
of that kind according to his contract
with the county. The young man sat in
a dirty room in the house in which he
lived, with the wound in his leg unat
tended for fifteen hours. Then City
Physician Hogeboom called to see him.
He could do nothing for the young man
there and ordered him taken to Christ
hospital, saying he would try and get
the county to pay the bill.
Dr. Hogeboom then saw Mr. Hale,
who said that the county would not pay
the bill, and Mr. Hale would not order
the county physician to attend the case.
The young man was treated at the hos
pital and the bill of $50, for three weeks,
was presented to the county commis
sioners. They refused to pay it.
It seems that the two commissioners
who represent the county are trying to
throw all the expense of taking care of
such cases on the city, and the com
missioner from the city is unable to
protect the city, which pays five-sevenths
of the county tax and yet is com
pelled to take care of the county poor at
its own expense.
The county commissioners have or
dered the county physician not to make
a call, except to the poor farm, with
out an order from Poor Commissioner
Hale. They have a specified contract
with the county physician as to his
duties, and pay him $25 per month.
Every one interested is compelled to
get an order from Mr. Hale to the
county physician before a case can be
attended to, and then the commissioners
will not allow bills for the cases.
The two cases which have been men
tioned are only incidents. Similar cases
occur almost daily.
While the county and city officials are
quarreling over their respective obliga
tions which exist, the sick people con
tinue in their distress, neglected and
unattended.
In speaking of the matter this morn
ing Mayor Drew said: "It is time that
something was done. I do not know
what to think of the county commis
sioners; thev do not seem inclined to
act fairly. The city pays its tax will
ingly and the commissioners should see
that the emergency cases are taken care
of. They have made no provision for tak
ing care of the cases, but on the con
trary, seem to do all they can to avoid
the care of poor cases and try to throw
the cost on the city.
"If the county will turn over the
money the city pays for this purpose
e will gladly undertake to care for
all the poor sick in the city, but we can
not be expected to do so and at the
same time pay our money for that pur
pose to the county.
"I have had to pay money out of my
own pocket time and again for the poor
people the police have picked up at the
railroad stations, and I have had to quit
it because I can not afford it.
"The commissioners agreed with the
city attorney and the city physician
that they would take care of all cases
of sickness in the city except contag
ious and infectious diseases. If they
would live up to this we would be satis
fied. But they make no provision for
the care of emergency cases. Suppose a
man comes in on one of the trains at
night in a dangerous condition. The case
Is at once reported to the police and
thev are supposed to take care of them.
IOs impossible to find Mr. Hale and get
an order from him to the county phy
sician, and that is what they require.
"There are a number of cases that
might be cited in the city where the
commissioners seem to be derelict in
their duties in this respect."
Dr. Hogeboom said: "I think the
commissioners are acting in a very
shabby manner and I can not under
stand why they do so, considering the
fact that they agreed to attend to all
the cases except contagious and infect
ious diseases. In the case last nierht at
the Rock Island station Dr. Ellinger
went to see the case, but not tmt:l he
was paid for it. I think that something
should be done to settle the matter at
once. I have been doing the work for
the county in eases which come up in
the citv and I have finally decided that
I would do it no more. City Attorney
Bird and the attorney general have told
me what I must do and they have in
structed the commissioners in their
share of the work, but the commission
ers seem inclined to avoid their part of
it. I do not think it is the fault of the
commissioner who represents the city,
but the other commissioners appear to
think that the more expense they can
put on the city the better."
Neither the mayor. Dr. Hogeboom or
any of the city officers blame the county

STRIKE SPREADS.
Santa Fe Sees Danger and Seeks
New Men.
Western Operators Go Out In a
JJody Today.
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 8. The strike of
members of the Order of Railroad
Telegraphers which began several days
ago on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
branch of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad in Texas, has spread
west.
At the headquarters of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers in this city it
was learned today that all the operators
on the Santa Fe Pacific, Southern Cali
fornia and San Francisco & San
Joaquin Valley divisions of the Santa,
extending from Albuquerque, N. M.( to
San Francisco, went out today almost
to a man.
While the national officers of the O.
R. T. will make no statement as to their
plans, it is hinted that if the manage
ment of the Santa Fe does not grant
the demands of the strikers within the
next twenty-four hours the operators
over the, entire system may be called
out.
Bureaus have been established in Chi
cago, Kansas City and St. Louis for the
purpose of hiring operators to take; the
places of the strikers, but at the head
quarters of the O. R. T. it is stated
they are not meeting with much suc
cess in getting men.
BOERS LIKE CATTLE

Johannesburg, Dec. 8. In pursuance
of the reconcentrado policy, the authori
ties here are preparing accommodation
on the race course for four thousand
people from farms in the vicinity of the
Rand. The burghers will be herded in
a laager1 and will b.e strictly watched.
A notification appears in the Gazette
to the effect that all able bodied British
subjects are liable to be conscripted for
service in the Rand rifles.
Cape Town, Dec. 8. Owing to the at
tempts of sympathizers to communicate
with the Boer prisoners at Greenpoint
Camp, Maxim guns have been placed
in position on the surrounding heights
in readiness for a disturbance.
POLICE INTERFERE
Tienna's Present For Oom Paul
Has Been Confiscated.
New Tork, Dec. 8. A dispatch to the
Herald from Vienna says:
Mr. Kruger will receive no present
from Vienna. This i3 not because he
has lost the sympathies of the non-political
section of the Vienna population,
but because the police have confiscated
the present in question.
The man who organized this homage
to Mr. Kruger, Demeter Kapuscha, has
been found to be a swindler. He has
been arrested and the present, consist
ing of two valuable flags, two fine wa
ter colors and a box? weighing a thou
sand kilos, containing five thousand sig
natures, has been seized in the interest
of his victims. The incident has caused
a most deplorable Impression.
