Marion. Ind., Aug. 9. Gus S. Coiulo, attorney, wbo championed the measure to abolish capital punishment

before the hist Indiana general assem

bly, and who is prospective candidate

for speaker of the house at the next session, has evolved a new principle of law as the result of a trial before

Justice of the Peace Phillips, of tias

City. "If a man has exhausted all his resources and efforts to make a living

for his family and has appealed to

all the sources known to the law to ob

tain something for them to eat, he cannot be lined for stealing that their

hunger may be satisfied," is the principle laid down by Attorney Condo.

"Way lie Keasoned It Out. "If a man cannot be convicted for

taking life, something he never can return, when that life is taken in the pro

tection of himself and family, neither

can he-be fined when he steals to pre

serve the lives of himself and loved, ones," was Condo's line of reasoning.

In the court of Justice Phillips John Robinson was charged with stealing

two bushels of wheat from Alfred Ilix,

a prosperous farmer living near Gas

Citv. The wheat was of the estimated

value of $1.?K. Kobinson, with his wife and six children, the youngest a

babe in arms, were present in the court room, presenting a picture of woe and misery.

One Witness for the Defense. The case, so far as the law and the

facts went was a clear one as to the

guilt of the defendant. Attorney Con-

do, representing Kobinson, called only

Mrs. Kobinson to the stand. She related that the family had had scarcely anything to eat for two days prior to the theft. The husband and father was represented as industrious and sober, but out of work. He had been to the township trustee and aid was refused him. Acquitted and Given a Present. Attorney Condo then advanced the argument already referred to and quoted liberally from the Bible in support of it. His appeal convinced the justice and the defendant was acquitted. The verdict was accompanied with a $T donation from the justice and the injunction to Kobinson to purchase food for his family. MYSTERIOUS oEAN AUDLEY

Woman Who Lives Among the 'Birds and Trees and Flowers" and Carries a Gun. Cerydon, Ind., Aug. 9. After recuperating in the county poor asylum, Jean Audley, a woman who has been traveling over this county riding a pony, with a revolver buckled around her waist and followed by a dozen

dogs, now demands her release. The superintendent of the poor asylum has filed a complaint asking that the woman be commited to the hospital for the insane, but she contends that she

is sane, and the county clerk refuses

to have her apprehended. She protest

ed against going to the poor house, de

claring that she had money to pay her way. While at that institution she demanded that she be kept apart from the paupers and be provided with spe

cial attention. She says she has led an outdoor life since she was a child, and that she prefers to live among the birds and trees and flowers. The superintendent of the county asylum has concluded that the woman is about able to resume her journey and will permit her to leave if she is not detained by investigation into her sanity.

Soutn Manuou Island, Mich., Aug. 0. Preparations for a sham battle of the Naval Reserves began about 3 a. in. At that hour the Yantic landed a Gatling gun and a section of infantry to throw up a line of rifle pits to be held by the defense. The main force of the defense, consisting of about 150 men from the Y'antic and Gopher, landed about 7 a. m. tinder command of Commander Standish, of the Yan

tic. The men of both the attack and the defense were dressed wholly in white, as that was the most comfortable dress available for use. In consequence every movement of the com

batants could be plainly seen by their opponents at long distance. Attacking Party Moves Shoreward. About 9 a. m. the defense had disappeared in the woods, hills and rolling country of the island, and the attacking party left the Wolverine, the Dorothea, the Hawk and the Essex, about 200 strong under the command of Captain Purdy, of the Dorothea. The boats were towed in by two steam launches, each of which carried a onepounder rapid-fire frun in the bow, as did also the Dorothea cutter. On approaching the beach the row boats cast off from the launches and pulled rapidly for shore, the one-pounder gun keeping up a hot fire upon the enemy,

whose scouts could be seen in the

woods back of the village.

Boys Played to a Gallery. The Hawk men were sent to the right to flank the defense on that side, the Essex company made a flanking movement on the left. The Wolverine seamen and marines advanced on the right of the main attack and the Dorothea's company charged through the woods on the left. The tiek, sharp,

bark of the one-pounder in the boat, the steady rattle of the Krag-Jorgen-

sen rifles on both sides, and the muffled spitting of the Gatling guns from the defense trenches waked up the little community of. South Manitou island to a condition of wild excitement

and enthusiasm. About 100 persons from the mainland had come across to witness the manoeuvers, and they formed a gay gallery of spectators' in the background. Torpedo Attack at Night.

.After the position, bad been carried!

by bayonet charge the men were inspected by Commander Morrell and Adjutant General McGurrin. and they then returned to their respective ships.

In the afternoon all the ships went to

sea for fleet tactics and manoeuvers until 5 p. m., then returned to their anchorage, where torpedo attack was repelled shortly after dark, the torpedo boats being represented by steam launches from the Wolverine and Y'antic. The play of the searchlights of the Dorothea and the Y'antic, aril the roar of the guns of those two vessels created a very excellent imitation of war.

Wagon and Twenty Persons on a Straw Ride Drop Thirty Feet v" Horses Go Along. Pittsburg, Aug. 9 While driving over a country road at Evergreen, nine miles from this city, a wagon containing twenty persons of a picnic party plunged over a thirty feet precipice and all sustained more or less serious injuries. None was fataly hurt. A lodge of the Daughters of Liberty from Allegheny was enjoying an annual straw ride, and the last of the three wagons became fast in a rut on a muddy mountain road. In attempting to turn out the horses stepped too far from the road whh'h ran along the bluff and plunging over dragged the wagon with its occupants with it. The screams of the women as they went over the cliff attracted the attention of the occupants of the other wagons and the other picnickers reI turned to the relief of their unfortuj nate sisters. Physicians were summon

ed from Millvale and the injured were cared for until carriages were pro

cured in which to send them to their homes.

"POTTED CHICKEN" WAS VEAL

That Is What, Among Things. Analy

sis Discovered About Packers' Products. Columbus. O., Aug. 9. Reports of the analyses of about fifty samples of potted ham, potted chicken, hamburger

steak and luncheon sausage and similar preparations sold by meat packers, submitted to State Dairy and Food Commissioner Ankeny, show the presence of preservatives, and in some cases traces of tin and zinc poison. The latter are attributed to the use of a poor quality of containers. One sample labeled "potted chicken" was found to be veal. Commissioner Ankeny declined to outline his policy in dealing w ith violations of the pure food laws further than to say that his first step would be to officially warn the manufactureres that their products

will be kept out of the Ohio market unless they comply with the law.
