"Tour honor, I sm not ths on who took
th life of Arthur Bnowden. I am not
guilty of his murder." Th court replied
that the Jury had settled that question by
their verdict. "I know they have," re
turned Kelley, "but I stsnd before you
Innocent, and for that resson would ask
you for clemency." In speaking of th
matter after being removed from th court

sentence for him. His attorneys wer al
lowed forty days to which to prepare a bill
of ixceptlons. Sheriff Carrig aays he will
tak Kalley to Lincoln thjs week.

today by a stunt with the heliograph, with
Captain Henry at one end of tne seryloe

Just a few boys who didn't care for tha

The messages to' be sent had been kept
secret and witnesses and participants stood

had General Barry been near, the stuff
would have been off. for It would take very
little warlike movements to knock the end
out of the capitol building.
Governor Mickey was anxious to know
something of the state of affairs at the
Chicago convention, and this was wig
wagged over' the long stretch of street by
the flag signals, and back came the an

great success, though experts on the re
ceiving line got answers somewhat differ
ent from those recorded by Captala Henry.'
The examlnatione went merrily on today,
notwithstanding the awful hot weather, and
General Daggett Is Immensely pleased with
ths showing made by. the seldler boys. This
morning he stated that General Culver had
done wonders with his guard and that too
much praise could not be given him or the
