mi . juuu, mo ...iuint;
Who was convicted tty a supeuor
court jury and sentenced to death
for the slaying of Agnes Anne Leroi,
her friend, had appeal to the high
court, attempting to obtain a new
trial, principally on grounds the
question cf Lelf-defense had been
ignored.
The threa justices who heard the
appeal, affirming the conviction and
the judgment of the trial court, held
that inasmuch as the slayer did not
lake the witness stand in her trial,
no evidecne of self-defense had been
given. The attorneys for the young
woman contended the trial court, in
instructions to the jury, failed to
counsul the veniremen on self-defense.
The lawyers for the killer !
pointed to a letter, found in tho drain
pipe of a Dos Angeles department
stoic, as mentioning an attack made
upon Mrs. Judd, but the court held
the letter did not show Mrs. Leroi
assaulted her.
His. Judd, captured in Los An
!Telrs, was accused of killing both
Mrs. Leroi and Miss Hedvig Samuel
son and sanding their bodies in
trunks to the ccasT city.
The defense also raised the asser
tion the slayer could have been mo
tivated by an irrc ;tible impulse and
cited the theory as a basis for in
sanity, but the court raid it declined
to recognize such a probability.
Answering the charge that bias
and prejudice prevailed among the
jurors, tin ccuvt said it found no
evidence to support the contention.
Mrs. Judd's only recourse lay.i in
application for a pardon or appeal
to the Lnitccl States supreme court.

grown a warm friendship between
the citizens of Weeping Water and
Piattsmouth.
Weeping Water, like all
CtllCT
cities all over the country, has been
enjoying (?) the late cold snap, and
especially when it comes to setting
water pipe- working again. The cold
effectively worked on exposed water
pipes before the owners were aware
of the fact. On Monday of this week
there was no lack cf employment
when it came to thawing cut water
pipes. The city is as well off with
the exception cf the strain on the
dispositions of those who failed to
from freezing.

Sixteen To One. What?
Not that it harks back to the days
of the Free Sliver campaign, when
everybody wanted more money, and
times were like they are now. But
it tells that there were sixteen jolly
men of Weeping Water entertained
at the home of Bert Jamison, really
entertained, for there never was a
thing which Bert could do better
than that of giving an entertainment
for his friends. It happened on last
Tuesday evening. Bert and the good
wife provided a fine supper and all
the boya had a fine evening, and
all had New Hampshire cigars over
a foot long which could be smoked
" "u
then put away for some other occa
sion.
Well, Bert entertained his friends
in grand style and the evening was
spent in telling stories that made a
man laugh and add a pound to his
Weight. The sobriquet of Colonel
was bestowed on the one who told
the best story and was won bv Col.
Frank E. Woods. We do not dare to
tell tho story, which is copywrighted.

Senators Ask

Debase Whether New Constitutional
Amendment Needed Several
Bills Deal with Problem
Washington, Dec. 12. The senate
tackled that oldtkae legislative trou-ble-maker
Philippine independence
and heard a lengthy argument
from tho democratic side that free
dom could not be granted the islands
without a new constitutional amend
ment. With party leaders on both
.'.ides predicting passage of an inde-
Pmdence measure sometime
ncxt
week, Senator Copeland opened de
bate with a contention that the Amer
ican people have never given congress
the right to "alienate sovereignty."
Senator Tydlngs took exception,
citirg the United States in its treaty
making power had extended the right
to search vessels for liquor "nine
miles farther" from its shores and
nreMiinp (hat under the same power it
could dispose of any of its possess
ions. The legislation before the sen
ate was the Hawes-Cuttinr; bill ex
tending full independence to the
Philippines in about eighteen years.
It was reported by the territories com
mittee last season as a substitute for
the Hare bill passed by tho house
freeing the islands in eight yearn.
Senator Hawes, co-author of the
substitute with Senator
Cutting,
started the legislation on the way to
decision with a minor amendment.

Senator King, author of a third in

freedom. He said there was a h!gh
standard of public order and educa
tion in the islands and literacy there
compared favorably with many na
tions of the world. King will offer
his bill, granting independence in
two or three years, as an amendment
to the pending measure.
