Earp?hausen. county recorder, arew the grand Jury for lftfl and the petit Jury for the January term of district court in Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon. The delay In drawing these Juries was duo to the fact that the Judges of election In several of the voting precincts failed at the general election last November to re turn the proper list of names from which the Juries are cfrawn. This ommlsslon on the part of the election officials necesai tated the Board of Supervisors selecting i rnmnleta list of names from which the grand Jurors, petit Jurors ana talesmen might be drawn.

Thornell of Sidney, who Is presiding over the present term of district court In this city, yesterday expressed him' self as opposed to prisoners being sentenced to dofinita terms In tho penitentiary. He gave It aa hi opinion that there should be no statutory limit upon punishment for any crime. "I believe all sentences for criminal of fense should ba made absolutely lndeler mlnate. The convicted criminal should be sent to the penitentiary or reformatory to remain there until in tho Judgment Of the proper authorities he should be paroled, There should not be any such thing aa entenco to a state prison for a definite period," said Judge Thornell. "Our present system does not really prove an tndotermlnate sentence because sentences as now administered terminate In a stated period. The prisoner may be paroled before th termination of this period, but he can not under any circumstance be kept In prison after tbe period has expired. "It we find a man Is Insane we send him to a hospital. We do not send him for a month, sis months, a year, or for any stated period. We send him for treatment and he remain until he is cured or sup posed to be cured. Th same Idea should be applied to criminal sentences. There are some persons who, by reason 'of hereditary Impulses, are utterly Incorrigible. For the welfare of society and their own good they ought to be kept in prison all their lives, because they are not fit to be at large. 'Statistics prove the reformatory effect of the Indeterminate sentence and parole system. They also show that the old sys tem of stated sentence ha failed to re form criminal. I believe th adoption ot Lhe absolutely Indeterminate sentence would In a few year make an enormous financial and moral saving to the stale." SHOOTS AT 81PPOSED BCHGLAH Ian Prove to Be Architect Who Formerly O fared In Building. After dlscharglog his revolver several times at a supposed burglar lata Thursday night Arthur Smith, a tailor, who waa sleeping In a rear rocm of th shop of A. M.

In police court yesterday morning Woodward told Judgs Snyder that a bold. bad man had attempted to hoid him up at the corner ot Bro.'.dway and Pearl streets directly under the large electric arc light and where tho car for all sec tions of th city si art from. Woodward, however, made Ms escape from the holdup artist and fearing that the bandit might make another attempt said lie sought safety by running Into the hallway of the Everett building cn Broadway. From the hallway Woodward mad hi way upstair to a room which h formerly occupied aa an office.

Toraado Caases Legal Taagle. MARSH ALLTOWN, la., Jan. .-(Specktl) The district court of Worth county, Iowa, In the extreme northern part of the state, will be asked to say who died first, O. K. Tweed or his wife, when both were killed In the tornado which swept over that sec tion of the 'state a little more than a year ago. Both Tweed and his wife wore found dead by neighbors after the storm hud passed. This question has been submitted to the court by the administrator, who ex pects soon to finish the affairs of the es tate of the head of the family. Vpon the decision depends who will get the bulk of the estate. By a pre-nuptlal contract be tween Tweed and his wlfo It provided that If Tweed died first half of the estate was to go to his father and half to the heirs of his wife. If Mrs. Tweed died first all of tho property was to go to tho father of Mr. Tweed. There Is no way of telling which died first, although It Is a well es tabllshed principal of law that the wife. presumably the weaker, dies first when both husband and wife meet death at tbe same time.

The first verbal play of the senate for the aession came up when Amsden pre sented his resolution that no special ap propriations should be considered until af ter the general appropriation bill had been disposed of. Under suspension the reso lution came up for discussion and was sup ported by Amsden.

SEARCH FOE MISSING MINISTER Supervisors Offer Reward of $300 for Arrest of Rev. John H. Car mlchael Motive for Crime 1 Lacking;. PORT HURON, Mich., Jan. t.-By means of two false teeth It waa definitely established today that Gideon Browning of Adair village waa the man who wa butchered last Tuesday evening In the llt.tla "Rattle Run" Methodlat church In Columbus township. .With part of the mystery which haa enshrouded th brutal crime thus cleared, the supervisor of St. Clair county Immediately offered a re ward of 600 lor th arrest of Rev. John H. Carmlchael- of Adair, pastor of the HUla church, and the man who wa at first supposed to have been killed, dis membered and then burned In the church stovo. Tbe teeth which Identified the dead man were found when the ashes from the stove were sifted. Yesterday's examination of them waa fruitless. But this afternoon when Dr. C. H. Browbeer of Sc. Clair, the dentist who made Brown ing a et of false teeth recently, exam ined them again more thoroughly he de cided that the blackened relic were part of Browning et. His decision satisfied Prosecuting Attorney Brown that It waa Browning who had been killed and th supervisors Immediately offered the re ward for Carmlchael's arrest and sent broadcast detailed description of the minister. Motive for Crime Lacking. Th solving of part ot the mystery surrounding the disappearance of th two Adair men and the discovery of th mur der in the church came after a day of much Investigation with little result. Strenuous effort to discover some mo tive for the destruction "of the carpenter by the minister were fruitless. Rumors that Carmlchael had been seen crossing the St Clair river into Canada cannot be corroborated. An officer sent to St Thomaa, Ont., reported no trace of him there Mra. Carmlchael and Mis Carmlchael, wif and daughter of th minister, ware questioned today by the prosecuting at torney here and he stated afterward that he wa convinced that they knew nothing of the murder nor the man' dis appearance. A statement today by Mr. Carmlchael that her husband's sister is an inmate of an insane asylum In Wait Virginia may explain some of the horri ble features of the crime, If the authori ties' suspicion about Rev. Mr. Car mlchael are borne out. Mrs. Carmlchael also said that her husband was moody and restless the night before he dlsap peareu ana apparently Brooding over something. It was also learned today that on Mon day, the day before the murder, the Rev. Mr. Carmlchael came to the postofflce In Adair, apparently much agitated and per turbed and received a letter, which h took away without opening. It 1 thought that this letter may have had some con nection with the strange intimacy be tween the minister and th carpenter, which had been noticed for a number of weeks before their Joint disappearance and the crime in the church. t'aruilrhael' Career in Nebraska. UENKELMAN, Neb., Jan. 9-Rev. J. H. Carmlchael, who figures In the Adair, Mich., tragedy, was pastor ot the Methodist church of this place aurtng li6 and part of 1196. He had a wife and several chil dren. He was severely criticised near th close of hi paatorat for alleged Indiscre tions, and his dismissal followed the bring ing t of charges against him.
