DES MOIXES , la. , Oct. 14. [ Special Tele
gram to THE USB. ! . This morning the supreme
premo court filed its opinion on the appeal In
Iho noted c.ise of Attorney Billings , reversing
the finding below. In December , 183" , Wills
Klngley wiw killed \Vavorly under cir
cumstances thatstrongly pointed to M. 12.
Billings ta the perpetrator , lie was arrested
and placed on trial in the Brcmor county
court and n verdict returned for mur
der In the second degree , the pris
oner being sentenced to life Imprisonment.
Ho then appealed to the supromfi court ,
which one year ago reversed the decision.
The venue of the case was then changed to
Black Hawk county , whcro It was tried nnd
a llko verdict rendered. It then looked at if
Billings would bo eompellod'to nbldo by the
decision and spend the rest of his days in
Anamosa , mit with nn unconquerable will
and steadfast purpose ho again appealed to
the supreme court , conducted his own de
fence with the nssistanco of W. Li. Katon and
C. Wellington , and again the verdict is set
asldo and a now trial ordered.
The opinion , which Is written by Judge
flranger , covers thirty pages of legal cap ,
nnd would make live columns of solid reading
matter. At the list term of court tlio state
confined Itself to the evidence and facts
showing motives for the crime , while the de-
fence contended thnt the circumstances sur
rounding tlio death prove suicide. This Is
the question thuttbo reversal is based upon ?
The court holds that , the revolver wat found
In a position leading to the belief that Kings-
ley took his own life , as shown
by the burned and singed eyelashes. But
two shots wen ; lired , and but two balls were
discovered in the head of Kingsloy , that Just
before the firing of the two shots Kingsloy
was charged with the gravest of crimes , and
'
one that has Induced many men to suicide' .

THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION DISCUSSED.
Indictment * Tor Violation of the In

Apprehended on the
Kt-ln.
CUICAOO , Oct .14. ISpcclal Telegram to
BKI : , ] Only six members wcro present nt
today's meeting of the Interstate Commerce
Hallway association , Those answering the
roll cull were President Cable of the Hock
Island , Judgu Springer of thoAtchlson , Vice
President Howe of the \Vabaih , Vice Presi
dent Hipley of tlio Stv Paul , ( Jcnonil Mana
ger Merrill of the Burlington and President
Ives of the Burlington , Cedar Hapids &
Northern , No business could bo settled
with such n small representation and
the time wns given to a discussion of the
situation. The consensus of opinion was that
If present rates were properly maintained
every western road should bo making mono } * .
The unanimity with which each member in
dulged in ( 'llttcfiiiR generalities on the pres
ent cutting of rates were a feature of the
meeting. No sj > eclllo charges were made ,
but It Is estimated that cut rates now reduce
the total gross earnings by ! l ( ) per cent.
The subject of associations was discussed
nt length nnd all ngrecd that the present
crying need was. . for ono largo association in
the west with an agreement piovldlng sovcro
penalties for nny IntVactlon. Jay Gould's
idea of an association providing for final ar
bitration was favored , but It was considered
doubtful If lines with but two or three ter
mini like the Alton could bo induced to Join.
It was llnally decided thnt one last effort to
organize all the associations into ono should
bo made. The tlmo was considered es
pecially fltting , us the Trans-Missouri
association and the western and northwestern
divisions of tlio Woilcrn Freight association
are without chairmen. Only Chairmen Walker
and Mldgcly would thus have to ho consid
ered In reorganlzalion nnd there would ho
abundance of room for both. It was remarked
as a stumbling block , however , that western
roads were moving rapidly toward consolida
tion Into lurgo systems or as links In trans
continental lines. It was definitely stated
that neither the Northwestern or Union
Pacific cared after their agreement to go
Into any association and that the Union
Pacific would extend its line from Frisco ,
Utah , to San Francisco within eighteen
months. It woa also broadly hinted that the
Atchlson , with its now purchases nifd its con
nection with the Southern Pacific and the
St. I'nul with the Pacific Short L.lne , when
It is complelcd , wore gutting independent of
associations. The outlook was not promis
ing , but it was agreed to call a meeting of the
presidents of nil western roads for Friday In
order to thoroughly discuss the matter.
The Illinois Central Minority.
IlAUTroiin , Conn. , Oct. 14. At the meeting
of the Hartford board of trade today Judge
Nichols , president of the National lira insur
ance company , who represented the minor
stockholders nt tho-111111013 Central railroad
meeting , made his report. Ho showed lhat a
minority of Ihostoclc was owned abroad and
that control was held by President Fish , so
thnt the minority was powerless to vote. But
ho said that the result of the opposition had
been to secure two Chicago directors this
year and to show the management that they
were being closely watched. The vote se
cured a year ago for Mcasivi. Cooley and
Howe of Hartford for bidding extension
without a vote of the stockholders , had by
the current report prevented largo expendi
tures contemplated ami thnt would have
opened lines parallel to the Northwestern
nnd St. Paul lines. This year the minority
Interest secured a veto forbidding the issue
of stock below par , so that for the present
none are llkuly to bo Issued. Ho says the
Illinois Central Is u great property and It
ought to maintain itself from the earnings
and pay good dividends. The talk of tlio
minority applying for a receiver was pro
nounced foolish. The Hartford board of
trade passed a vote of thanks to Judge
Nichols for his services.
