The theft and mutilation by some vandal
of a number of valuable book recently pur

found on the walk leading to the north

Supreme Court Denies New Trial to
Man Convicted of Murder.
LAW VALID BUT IMPOTENT
Soldiers' Preference Statute L'pheld,
tat Coart Refuses to Interfere
with Discretion of Appointing-
Officers.
r
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINE8. Oct. 2.-Speolal.)-The
supreme court closed Its sitting for the
second period of the September term late
last evening and acted on a large number
of cases. The court overruled a motion for
a rehearing In the case of the state against
Charles Thomas, convicted of the murder
of Mabel Scoftcld. Nothing but a possible
pardon now stands In the way of Thomas
serving a life sentence for the crime.
Thomas after the death of Mabel Bcofleld
at the home of Thomas' parents in this city
left for Nebraska and was engaged In farm
ing there when he was Indicted here.
The court also overruled the petition for
a rehearing In the case of Mrs. Jennie
Huegle, the county superintendent of this
county. This case Involved Mrs. Huegle's
competency and legal qualifications to fill
the position of county superintendent of
schools. In a way it also -ivolved' the
constitutionality of the new state teachers'
certificate law. The action of the court,
results In Mrs. Huegle being Vit out of the
office and In upholding the constitutionality
of the law.
The soldier's preference law was again
upheld by the supreme court In two cases,
one appealed from Creston and the other
from Sioux City, but the court In Its
opinions held that the courts cannot inter
fere with the discretion of tho public of
ficials engaging or employing old soldiers
and that an old soldier In addition to being
of good moral character and qualified must
hare equal qualifications with other ap
plicants. One case was that of L. M. Boyer
of Creston, who applied to be street com
missioner. On being refused he asked for
a writ of mandamus, which was denied by
th court, and this action the supreme
court affirms. In the Sioux City case G.
J. Ross applied for th position of health
officer and on being refused asked for a
writ of mandamus, which the court Issued.
This the supreme court reverses.
The supreme court acted on a total of
forty-nine cases before concluding the
period last night.
Pas Case Before Judge Chare.
In conformity with the order of the su
preme court Attorney Thomas O. Healy
applied today to Judge Church of the dis

a sever criticism of th methods of Judge

consideration. Judge Pollock took th caa
under advisement and said he might an
nounce his decision next week. Th effect
Is to contlnu th temporary Injunction in

Judge Pollock aald:
"This Is a remarkable caa. It Is charged
that a judge of on of your courts has not
conducted himself in a fair, just, and Im
partial manner. He ha empaneled his
own Jury and has don so with th Intention
that they carry out hi own personal Ideas.
He has entered the grand Jury room while
the Jury was deliberating, thus violating
deliberately the precedent' that such tie
liberations should be secret and sacred.
"I cannot understand how a Judge of a
court could consider for a moment such
a persecution as' has been threatened' In
this case. I shall Investigate this matter,
and if I And that I have the power to atop
these prosecutions I shall do so. " '
