BATTEY CETS A NEW TRIAL

Vitiate the Verdict
VIOLATES RULE OF SECEZCT
Jadge Mady- Orermlea All tha Otae

, The fact that several jurors used , tbe
court room telephones during the time they
were deliberating n a verdict was deemed
suffl'cleqt reason by. Judge N. W. Macy of
the district court for sustaining the motion
of the-defense for a new trial in tha ouster
actlotl against H. V. Battey, clerk of tha
district court.
"If jurors are going to use the local or
long-distance telephones, tha law requiring
them ta ba kept together during their de
liberations Is without effect and may as
well be repealed. X do not want a verdict
to stand after such circumstances have
been shown. The only time I ever allowed
Juror "t Use the telephone was by tha
agreement of the parties In the case, with
the understanding that the bailiff should
stand by him, If tha custom of permitting
jurors to use the telephone has grown up
In Council Bluffs, X want it to be approved
by someone other than himself, said Judgs
Macy Jn setting aside the verdict of guilty,
as returned by- the Jury.
In his ruling sustaining the motion for a
new trial Judge Macy delivered an opinion
of Considerable length. ' On the point that
the court erred in permitting the introduc
tion of certain books Which 'Were claimed
by Mr. Battey to be his private property,
Judge Macy upheld his ruling. On the
point that the court had erred In instructing-
the Jury-visaing1, the, burden of proof
6n tha defendant. Judge Macy held that tha
instruction was correct.- - '
i , .
. . . . Books BelqusVta Csmaty.
Referring to the point raised as to tha
introduction of tha books claimed as pri
vate property of the defendant,-Judge Macy
said: rl'Befora the -trial -was begun tha
atata asked ;for an order for the produc
tion of certain cask books. Tha defense
claimed that these were private books con
taining tha- memoranda of tha clerk and
the motion waa overruled. In the course
o the trial,- however, -it waa shown that
while Mr. Rlchman was examining the
books of' the office for tha purpose of
making a report to t,he supervisors he was
furnished with a cash book In the clerk's
office for the purpose of completing this
report. Later it was shown that the county
pad paid for a ledger and journal for tha
clerk's office and they were ordered pro
duced. Now It doea not make any differ
ence ii nm taw aia not require such a
record to be kept If the county purchased
books for the keeping of such a record.
It appears that it did contain entries of
the receipts of the office. So. In every
phase of that qusstlon tha atata was Abun
dantly right In asking for tha production
of these, books."
In paaalng upon the alleged misconduct
of tha jury In using the telephone. Judge
Mscy said he estimated that there had not
been leas than 'twenty 'communications with
tha Jury room in this manner from persons
outside or any away front the court house.
"I never waa mora surprised than when
I heard that. I have gone across ths
street to keep from meeting Juries, and at
hotels I have left tha room as they were
passing through from their meals, for fear
that soma of them might say 'good morn
ing.' And here we are confronted with the
eircumstanoe of tha bailiff admonishing the
jurors not to be using the telenhona ton
much. Each time a Juror talk ovsr the
teiepnone It is tha same as If the Juror
broke ranks or left tha Jury room to go
and talk to some person. When ha Is at
tha telephons no one but himself knows
who 1s at the other end of tha lino and
what ho says," said the court.
No time has been set for tha retrial of
ths action against Mr. Battey. but It can
not be taken up before tha September term
aa tha petit Jury for this term hss been
dismissed.1 Tha next term of the district
court win open September 1 with Judge
Macy presiding.
Tha Board of Supervisors at its session
yesterday afternoon adopted a resolution
directing the National Accounting companr
of Des Moines to complete checking up
the office of tha clerk of the district ourt
'up to the time of the suspension of Mr.
BaXtoy by Judgs Wheeler en April 11.

IITTLB HOPE FOR DEMOCRATS
Km Prospect of Their Reeelvias; Maay
Reoobllraa Votes.
(From a 8taff Correspondent.)
DES MOINE8, June . (Special.) Demo
cratic leaders are siting up the situation
politically In Iowa just now, to ascertain
how to conduct their campaign. They
have been expecting that tha reaulta of ths
primary election would ba auch that tha
democratic vote in November would be
considerably swelled by republican votea.
Publicly and openly they are claiming now
that Iowa will go democratic In November
and that Fred White will be elected gov
ernor. Privately, but not for publication
with the use of theirs names, they ars ad
mitting that the situation la so mixed that
they do not expect to gain a great many
votes.
Though venerated for hla years and his
aervlce there is no denying thst Allison
will be 80 years old on March t. 1B09, two
dayg before he entera the term for which
he was nominated Tuesday, and that fact
will keep tha Cummtna men in, line. If
Allison were a young man with the proba
bility that one election to the senate was
to be followed by others the temptation to
ths Cummins' men to bolt would be grest.
But In the face of tha fact that Allison
cannot serve the stats a great while longer
the Cummins' people will not bolt They
will turn In and help elect a republican i
legislature, and, as they hope, a Cummins
legislature, so that In case of a vacancy,
which they are confident will come soon.
Cummins will be elected to tha senate.
Tha progressives are furthermore taking
a philosophical view of the matter and
Claim that they lost only (he position of
governor. They failed to capture the United
States senatorshlp, but are glorying In
tha fact that they probably nominated four
new progressives to the congreas, i-hlch
If all are elected will give them six of the
eleven congressmen. Many of the pro
gressives' candidates for tha legislature
got through and the legislature will prob
ably remain progressive. Tho standpatters
will, however, have a majority on the
executive council. Most of the progressive
newspapers sre considering Cummins' de
feat as merely a lutl In their fight, a mo
mentary defeat, and are declaring that the
fight must continue. The standpat news
papers criticise the workings of the pri
mary law. though it gave them a victory,
and are characterising tha results as the
death knell of factionalism and the elimi
nation of Cummins from political life.
It Is now generally conceded that it was
the light vote in the northern part of the
state, whera Cummins Is strong, thst cost
him the victory. At tha same time Al
lison waa considerably atronger In that
part of the state than tha Cummins people
had surmised.

BIQ WHEAT CROP PROMISED
w 1 oral Jonrnal of Commerce Col
leote Reports from All Over,
the Coaatry.
NEW TORK. June . (Special Telegram.)
The Journal of Commerce, in its monthly
grain crop review tomorrow, will say: Pres
ent conditions point to a splendid wheat
harvest. Both winter and spring wheat
is In unusually good condition, which, If
maintained during the remainder of the
season, would rrobaMy give the largest
crop on record. Winter whest forms about
60 per cent of the crop and Is almost out
of danger, since harvesting will soon begin.
Spring wheat Is still about thr?e months
dlstsnt from Harvesting operations and
as the crops usually deteriorate during
the summer months, present Indicstlons
cannot bo safely depended upon. Last
year the crop was 3l,7M,0OO bushels. Pres
ent Indications, taking the; Produce ex
change's old formula for comparative pur
poses, would. If sustained, suggest a crop
of 752.SOO.OOO bushels, compared with 7.
2oO,o bushels In 1901,. the previous record
year. Allowing, however, for probable de
terioration In spring wheat, It doea not
appear unreasonable to anticipate a com
bined 'crop of 700,000,000 bushels, or about
70,000,000 bushels ahead of last year.
Such are the conclusions derived from a
careful digest of 1,500 special reports whlrh
the Journal of Commerce will publish to
morrow, their average date being May 81.
According to thrse reports, the condition
of winter wheat In the eleven principal
wheat states producing about three-quar.
teri of the crop was Ml. Although- May
Is generally a month of deterioration the
decline was only 3.2 and the condition is
still 10.T better than a year ago and seven
points higher sthan the ten-year average
on June 1. '
The Indicated yield of winter wheat Is
465,000,000 bushels, asalnst an actual yield
last yesr of 879.400.000 bushels, snd 471,700,
000 bushels In the record year ot 1901.
The reports as to spring whest are even
more promising. The condition Is reported
ss 98.6, compared with M.T a month ago
and 9M at the same time last year. Ac
cording to - the Produce exchange's old
Wormula these figures suggest a yield of
!9.7Oo,000 bushels, compered with 265,192,000
bushels actual yield laat year The change
In acreage of spring wheat Is unimportant,
showing an Increase of only 0.8 per cent
In North Dakota the condition Is 103.8,
sgalnst 90 last spring. In South Dakota
It It 99.8. against 90.' in Minnesota 92.7
against 86 ar,d in Iowa 94 against 87.
