COURT REFUSES ML IN
GORY BREECHES CASE
Bloml on f'liarlps Fountain’s
Overall' < 'onvinoed -Judges That
Xo Mistake Was Made.
"Blood "ill tell," is an ancient
adage. but It was up-to-date Wednes*
day, when the judg-s ol the supreme
court of Virginia refused to grant a
writ of error in the appeal of Charles
Fountain, sentenced to serve ten years
in the penitentiary for the murder of
Burney Bunch, In 1-ouisa county. The
blood on the right leg of Charles'
overalls convicted him of the murder.
The same teiltaie right leg of the
"breeches" was filled with the record
in the appeal, and told the judges that
Charles had heen where blood was.
Bunch was killed on the night of
December 12. 1909, at 7. Ion. Doubts
county, after he had imbibed a quart
of cider Fountain had also imbibed
a Quart of the Juice of the forbidden
fruit. The two were sifting on the
platform of the littlo railroad station
when Bunch met death. Fountain
said a train struek Bunch. A Jury
said Fountain sprayed Bunch with
sticks and stones. All that is known
Is that a friend of the two man, who
by the way. had also Imbibed a quart
of elder, left them at the station while
he went to see his Juliet, and plight
ing of hi* troth was ruleiy interrupted
by Fountain with the tidings of
Bunch’s death Blood, or something
looking so suspiciously like Mood as
to he convincing. was found on
Charles' overalls. HV said he got it
by Holding up Bunch's head to see
if the latter was dead. This was con
tradicted and it was shown that he
did not lift the dead man’s head.
The court reviewed the record, ev
amlned the right leg of the overalls
and several photographs, and marked
"Refused” on the petition
INSUR6ENTS CARRY
KANSAS BY STORM
iContinued from First Rage )
Eighth district without opposition, was
elated at the victory of the progrea
sive*. At hia home here to-day he
gave out the following statement:
"During the campaign I met and
talked with thousands of Kansans
and 1 believe 1 know what this In
surgent victory means. First Kansas
has repudiated Cannon and his sys
tem of rules in the house. Secondly,
Kansas republican* have notified the
world that the republican party in
Kansas is In the fight to the ditch
to throw special and selfish Interests
out of control in politics."
PRESIDENT TAFT
IS MCTTI OUTDONE
BEVERLY. MASS, August 9.—
omething is surely the matter with
Kansas," according to the vtewpolnt
of President Taft after a glance at
the returns from the "dun Flower
Btate.” „
The executive Is deepiy concerned
in trying to fathom what the sweep
ing insurgent victory there presages
In the election this fall and he was
genuinely grieved to learn of the de
feat of Congressman Charles A. Scott,
a stand-patter, chairman of the com
mittee on agriculture, a personal
friend and the man who authoritatlve
goastp has often mentioned as the
president's choice to euccead "Fncls
Tama Jim" Wilson as secretary of
agriculture. *•
From one who Is In close touch*
with the executive comes the atory
to-day that In view of the happelngs
in Kansas, the president Is beginning
to doubt the political sagacity of some
of his adviser*. Be hea. been iod to
belie*# that the only real struggle this
fall would "be against the Democrats,

■I -
surgent movement was a mere inci
dent.
I With the Kan»as returns In also
i come the story of another alleged rea
i son w-hy the executive recently can
celled his speaking dates. It was stat
ed that the president cancelled en
gagements to address voters, because,
if there should be a Republican de
feat. he did not want to have thiH
defeat follow his own campaigning
and thus give his political adversaries
an opportunity to procliam that the
"Taft Issue" was reiponsible.
' DOT. LIVER IS MORE
THAN GRATIFIED
DER MOINES, Aug. 3.—Senator J.
i P. Dolllver, commenting on the In
surgent victories in Kansas, said to
I day:
"The sweeping victory in Kansas
; was fully expected on my part. There
‘ i sno doubt that the visit of Speaker
I Canunon to that 8tate served only the
purpose of creating an even stronger
sentiment against the interests he has
so long represented.
"tt ts especiallu gratifying that the
representation in the House Is to be
strengthened by the new staunch pro
gressives from Kansas. I believe that
‘ under the leadership of Murdock and
j Cummins Kansas and Iowa will take
a lead in national affairs that has
i never been their fortune in the past."
1 COMMITTEE- WAS NOT
VERY MUCH SURPRISED
! NEW YORK. August 3.—That the
f result of the Kansas primaries. In
which the "Insurgent" republicans
] were so overwhelming victorious, did
not surprise the members of the fe
1 publican congressional campaign com
mittee. was the assertion to-day of
I Congressman Henry Clay Louden
slager. of New Jersey, in charge of
the campaign headquarters here,
j “Since I have been in congress.”
said LOudenalager, "there have even
been populist members front that
State, so It isn’t unusual that It should
pick out insurgent* Kansas, you see,
runa to ‘isms’ and It is no surprise
that Murdock and Madison and Ihe
other irregulars won out.
“Of course," he continued, "the re
publican congressional campaign com
mittee Will assist these insurgents—If
they ask assistance. We shall not
force our aid upon them, but if they
want republican literature to circu
i late In their districts, they will get
all they want. Why, we’d even f ir
nish campaign literature to a demo
1 crat If we thought he'd use It."
Loudenslager w as asked whether
the result of the Kansas primaries
would be reflected in other States that
normally return regular republican
j congressmen.
"We do not regard Kansas as a
‘regular republican' State." he said,
"and do not think the result there is
typical. We believe the republican
‘ party will be victorious this year.
1 The campaign committee will aid
i every man who calls himself a repuh
j licsn and who hack* up President
: Taft and his administration."
• CHAMP CLARK WINNER
WITHOUT OPPOSITION
ST. LOUIS. MO., Aug 3—Missouri
1 is standing pat. Complete returns to*
: day from the primaries of noth parties
held yesterday Indicate that fifteen
i of the State’s representatives in Con
gress ware named for re-election. The
only member of the present Congress
who was not renominated was Harry
M. Coudrey (Republican), of the
Twelfth district, who was not a can
didate. Champ Clark wa* renomi
nated for the ninth time without op
position.
In addition to the standpat result
j of the congressional nomination, the
‘‘regular’’ wing of the city administra
tion In 8t. Louts crushed the Insurgent
faction, led by J. Howe, for the con
trol of the city central committee,
which means the political control of
the city. The “regular” forces were
led by Otto fltlfel and Harry W. Kiel,
backed by Governor Hadley.
Two of the most significant results
In the primary are the nomination
of Thomas L. Kinney as Democratic 1
congressman in thg Twelfth dlatrlct
Political wiseacres say that the
nomination of Kinney means that thn*
Republicans are sure to lose at laaat
tlona. Kinney Is one of thp moat pop
ular men In the State, having father
ed the c-utripule<>r.v education, law, the
ohlld labor law and other popular
measures. The Twelfth has been reg
ularly Republican. It Is not believed,
however, that Lee C. Dyer, named by
the Republicans as sufficient strength
to beat Kinney.
The Republicans named candidates
for Congress In all districts but the
Eighth, which is overwhelmingly De
mocratic.
The ten Democratic congressmen
renamed are:
Borland. Rucker, Alexander, Boo
her. Dickinson. Shackleford. Clark,
Qlll, Hamlin, Lloyd.
The Republicans renominated:
Bartholdt. Evans. Crow. Morgan
and Murphy, all "regulars."
The Insurgents landslide In Kan
sas follows one of the most sensational
campaigns In the State's history.
After "I'm le .Joe" Cannon had singled
out Congressman Murdock and Con
gressman Madison for attack during
the sessions of congress When they ,
had consistently opposed him, the
speaker Invaded the State, upbraiding
the "Insurgents" irtimerclfully and
throwing all his strength to the stand
pat candidates.
The “"regulars" were a Hacked all
along the line by- Governor Stubbs,
Senator Bristow, Senator Cummin*
and Congressman Murdock The Issus
