APPEAL OF W. T. JONES
TO B~E HEARD LATER
Union Man Accused of Poisoning Wife
Still In Jail-Both Sides Ap
.peal in Case.
The State, 24th.
The suprene court yesterday, af
ter hearing arguments in the case
of W. T. Jones, the Union man
who is in jail on the charge of
poisoning his wife, issued an order
that before any action be taken the
appeals from the order of Circuit
Judge Hydrick and the chief jus
tice, the first refusing bail and the
second staying proceedings, be
passed upon by the court.
Jones was accused of killing his
wife under most sensational cir
cumstances; .and the testimony at
the coroner's inquest a t tr aete d
much attention.' When Jones was
arrested, application for bail was
made before Judge H ydrick and re
fused, and when the case was call
ed for trial an order was read fronm
Chief Justice Pope, staying pro
ceedings.
From the order of Judge Hy
drick the attorneys for Jones ap
pealed and from the order of Chief
Justice Pope the solicitor appealed.
This means that both sides will
have argnments before the supreme
court, and it is, therefore, decided
to wait until these were heard. It
is provided in the order, however,
that the solicitor shall agree that
the cases be heard during the call
of the seventh circuit. This has
been agreed upon by the solicitor.
The order and agreement is as
follows:
"Upon hearing the application
for pndante lite and in the original
jUrisdictioll of this court:
"It is ordered that the nearing of
said applications be postponed un
til the hearing of the appeal from
the order of his honor, Judge Hy
drick, refusing bail and the
appeal from the order of the chief
justice: Provided. That the solici
tor shall consent within five days
in writing that the two appeals
now pending in this court shall be
heard during the call of cases from
the seventh circuit.
"Y. J. Pope, C. J.'
"I consent to the terms of the
above order. T. S. Sease,
"Solicitor Seventh Circuit."

particularly the case in Denmark; at
any rate, we have more knowledge oii
this point in regard to that country
than any other.
In "James'" some time ago Dr. K.
Caroe, of Copenhagen, published a
number of documents bearing on the
subpect. The most ancient of these
bears date July 24, 1579, and is a
license is':ued by Federick II to An
ders Freimut. executioner of Copen
hagen, granting him the right to set
bones and treat old wounds: he was
expressly forbidden to meddle with
recent wounds. In 1609 it is recorded
in the municipal archives of Copen
hagen that Gaspar, the hangman, had
received four rigedalers for the cure
of two sick children in the infirmary.
In 1638. Christian IV summoned
the executioner of Gluckstadt, ini
Holstein, to examine the diseased
foot of the Crown Prince. In a let
ter addressed to Ole Worm, a leading
I)anish physician of the day, Henry
Koster, physician in ordinary to the
king, complains bitterly of the slight
thus put upon him. He says that for
two whole months the hangman, "who
is as fit to treat the case as an ass is
to play the lyre,'' had the case ini
hand, and the doctor was not asked
for advice, and although the case wvent
steadily from bad to worse the execu
tioner received a fee of 200 rigsdal
ers and a large silver goblet-"tre
wards"' says the doctor plaintively.
"which the greatest among us would
not have received had he succeeded in
curing the Prince according to theI
rules of art."
Again, in 1861. Christian V. gave
Sfee of 200 rigsdalers to the Copen
I agen hangmnan for curing thte leg of
a page. In 1695. Andreas Lieb
knecht, the Copenhagen executionei.

'ITRAING FOR A WIFE.
An Army Oiticer's Experience With an
Indian at Western Fort.
"*He says he would like to trade
with you for your wife!"-it came out
at last. It was a startling proposi
tion indeed. For a moment we were
both too breathless to comnent. Fin
ally my husband yielded to his im
pulse for amusement and smiling at
me he replied:
"Ask him what he will give for her."
"He says six ponies, lieutenant."
"Oh, tell him she is worth ;ots more
than that."
"He will give you twelve ponies for
her."
My husband again replied that he
would not trade for anything like that
so the Indian kept raising his bid. He
offered twenty ponies: then twenty
ponies and a squaw; and finally twen
ty ponies. a squaw and a papoose. At
length. wearying of the nonsense. my
husband nodded his dismissal of the
subject. But the Indian seemed to
think that the apparent holdiiig out
for a 'ligher price vonstituted a trade
when the final offer was n1ot rejeeted.
He appeared satisfied. but soon signi
fied he wished to finish the bargain.
Of course. my husband immediately
objected. My savage admirer continu
ed unaccountably insistent:- and ami
cablv to rid himself of 1h,e Indian's
importunity my husband told him
was not fit for more travel: that I
needed to go to rest at once. Accord
ingly I entered our tent.
The Indian was not content. and
continued, with some of his compan
ions. to hang around the camp until
one of the men told them hey must
now return to their camp. as we were
all going to retire. When they had
reluctantly departed my husband
lMuzhingly told the lieutenant. who
had not been present during the par
leying. of the incident. The latter look
ed grave, and expressed a fear that
the Indian, in the belief that he had
made a trade, might cause trouble

husband assured him there was no
agreement and that the buck had no
basis for such a claim. The lieutenant
explained that the failure to reject the
last bid and the presence of witnesses
to the price haggling was all that the
Indian considered necessary to make
a binding affair of heart and honor.
Of course, terms had to be reached.
and my husband, for the only time in
his experience with the red men. or as
far as I know with any man, agreed
to compromise. He bought them off,
