In December, 1887, Wills Kingley was killod at Waverly under cir- cumstances that, strongly pointed to M. B Billings as the perpetrator. Hewas arrested and placed on trial 1 the Bremer county court and a verdiet returned for mur- der in the second degree, the pris- oner being sentenced to life imprisonment. He then ap| to the supreme court, which one year ago reversed the decision. The venue of the case was then changed to Black Hawk county, where it was tried and alike verdiet rendere It then looked as if Billings would be compelled to abide by the decision and spend the rest of his days in Anamosa, but with an unconquerable will and steadfast purpose he again_appealed to the supreme court, conducted his _own de- fence with the assistance of W. L. Eaton and llington, and again the verdict is set d unew tr 1. inion, which is written by Judge or, covers thirty pages of legal uld m five columns of solid readin At the last term of court the st contined itself to tho evidenco and showing motives for the crime, while the de- fence contended that the — civcumstances sur- rounding the death prove suic This is the question that the reversal is based upon? The court holds that, the revolver was found in a position leading to the belief that Kings- ley took - his own life, as shown by the burned and singed eyelashes. But tivo shots were fired, and but two balls were discovered in the head of Kingsley; that just before the firing of the two shots Kingsley was charged with the gravest of crimes, and one that has induced v men to suicide. It is probable that this s the lst of the fa- mous case, The state may conclude to again prosecute, but it is improbable, and the above decision mukes Billings practicaily a free man.

AN UNPROMISING PROSPECT. Only Six Members Prosent at the Meeting of o the Interstate Presidents, THE PARAMOUNT QUESTION DISCUSSED. Indictments for Violation of the In- terstate Law—No Farther Trouble Apprehended on the Erte, Cuicago, Oct .14.—[Spocial Telogram to Ben)—Ouly six members were present at today’s weeting of the Interstate Commerce Railway association. Those answering the roll call were President Cablo of the Rock Island, Judgo Springer of the Atchison, Vice President Howe of the Wabash, Vice Presi- dent Kipley of the St. Paul, General Mana- ger Merrill of the Burlington and Prosidont Ives of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Noethern, No business could be settled with such a small representation and the time was given toadiseussion of the situation. ‘The consonsus of opinion was that if present rates were properly maintained every western road should be making money. “Phe unanimity with which each member in- dulged in glittefing generalitios on the pres- ent cutting of rates were a feature of the meeting. No specitic wore made, but it is estix now reduce the total gro 30 per cent Tho subjeet of associations was disenssed at length and all agreed that the present crying need was for one I ssociution in the west with an agrec penalties for any infr idea of an association providing bitration was favored, butit was considered doubtful if iines with but two or threo ter mini like the Alton could be iuduced to join. It was finally decided thatone last effort to organize all the associations into one should be made. The time was consideved os- fittng, a8 the Trans-Missouri {ation and the western and northwestern divisions of the Wostern Freight association are without chairmen, Onty Chairmen Walker and Midgely would thus have to be consid- cred in reorganization and there would be abundance of room for both. Ttwas remarked as a stumbling block, however, that western roads were moving rapidly toward consolida- tion into large systems or aslinks in trans- continental lines.” 1t was definitel i that_neither the Northwestern or Union Pacific cared after their agreement to go into any association and that tho Union Pacific would extend its line from F Utah, to San Fraucisco within mouths. It was also broadly hinted that the Atchison, with its new purch 1d 1ts con- nection with the Soathe and the St. Paul with the Pacifi it is completed, were getting independent of associations. The outlook was not promis- ing, but it was agreed to call a meeting of the presidents of all we roads for Friday in order to thoroughly discuss the mattc The Minois Central Mi Harrronn, Conn., Oct. 14 of the Hartford board of trade today Judge Nichols, president of the National fire insur- ance company, who represented the minor stockholde the llinois Central railroad weeting, made bis report. He showed that a minority of the stock was owned abroad and that control was held by President Fish, so that the minority was powerless to vote, But he said that the result of the opposition had been to secure two Chicago directors this yearand to show the manazement that, they were being closely watched. The vote se- cured a year ago for Messrs. Cooley and Howe of Hartford for bidding exténsion without a vote of the stockholders, had by the enrrent report prevented large expendi- tures contomplated and that would ~ have opened lines parallel to the Northwestern and St. Paul Jines. This year the minority interest seoured a vote forbidding the 1ssue of stock below par, o that for the present noneare likely to' bo issned. He says the Ilinois Central is a great property and it ought to maintain itself from the earnings and pay good dividends. The talk of the minority applying for a receiver was pro- nounced foolish. The Hartford board of trade passed a vole of thanks to Judge ority. At the meeting AIl's Quiet on the Erie.
