There is no evidence 80 imperative or convinciog as that of any unbroken chain of circumstances, There are a few facts in the case that all are agreed upon. Some of the Sertied Faets. Gothman was killed at the Carleton ranch on Jime 8, when only he and this defendant were present. Those visiting the place found the victim in a pool of blood, and the fatal weapon was found in the hands of this defendant. Carleton only knows for a fact st how Gothman came to his aeath, and ow did he tell it? Before the blood on his hands were dry he had gono to nine differ ent persons and told ns many as nine diffe ‘ent lies in #his own defensc. When asked why he did not tell the truth then his only reply was that he was waiting to tell it at the coroner’s inquest. The story of the tramp had the only significance of carrying the impression to his nefghibors that it was some_worthicss vagabond that he had slaughte: But wi s Lis story to the coroner He simply repeated the story of the tramp and said that the first shot was fired out of the window. Can this be reconciled with the excuse that he meant to tell the truth before the covoner’s inquest? But what is the evidence? Carleto First st The first person he met was Mrs. Kinimell Yo told her he had killed a bum, at her ex- pressed surpriso. [le said it was a fact; he wWast's going 1o be ran ont of his houso by a tramp, and that he had shot the bum until he couldn’t go any more. e made rearly the same statements to six others of his neighbors. Then he came to this city, and to the coroner and several others he told it still farther in detail, but to the sa D eral effcct. Then he went to uis hived man, TLuke, who knew tho identity of the victim that ho had killed, the tramp that was av the house in the mornmg. Why did he spoak so lightly to Luke, who knew the whole circumstances’ Why these stories? There is no question but they were in the line of the murderer’s program to killfuim and bury him in thoe field, us he suggested to Middauh, Somo Damaging Points. Why did Carleton want to be all alone at the house? Why did the father send the hired man to the house to prevent trouble? The mau Govhman did not seem to be a bad man. Luke found him quietly smoking a cigar with this defendant, as it muvacr were the remotest thing from his heart. Buy fake's testimony that Carleton said if the man gave him A word he wonla get nway with him, and the world would be no wiser for it. was not concocted for the occasion, Luke had no reason to testify falsely against this defendant. No ill feeling for this de- fendant has beeu proven orintimated against the witness Linke. But the story as given by the defendant is o0 inconceivable to_bear weight with an in- telligent jury—that in 4 struggle where the opponents were nearly enough matched to make a lifo and doath strogels fora weapon three shots shoula be fired accidentally. and cvery one takiug direct_aim for the brain of one of the combatauis, from thres different divections. This is u circumstance that never was duplicated, and never will be. In fact it never occurred. Sooked 1t to the Doctors. The speaker then took the skull and ridi- culed the position of Dr. Devries. “Wh said he, “wo vead in the good book that the three flebrew children went through the flery furnnco. unscathed, but that was chronicloa as an intervention ol Divine Providence. But cven that was as consis- tent with nutural causes as the proprosition that three balls could be fired into the human brain and the victm still fight his antagonist. I do not propose to theori but it is just as reasonable Tor me to s that the first shot was fired from bebind a: he sat at the kitehen door, and after ne fell o other shots were fired, as for the other side to say the fivst shot was fived in front or at tho s Indecd, my theory is partially ated by the statement he mode to Mr. Middaugh that he skot tum and he fell forward and after that shot him till he didn’t moye any more.

In the vast audience that filled Boyd's opera house last night te hear Colonel Rob- ert G. Ingersoll lecture on “Myth and Mira- cle” were disaiples of nearly every faith, Presumably but fow of them were in sym- pathy with the sentiments of the speake stich ywas the power of the wel rotinded sontesces that rolled in silves sion from the orater’s lips that each s frooted with appiause as spon- tanesus and enthusinstic as if every mind was in cordial sympathy with the doctrine of a religion without a Gdd. The theator was well hlled long before the speaker arrived. When he appeared on the stage every seat was occunied, His appear- ance was the signal for a cordial greeting, which was vepeated at froquent intervals throughout the lecture. At times Colonel Ingersoll midiculed the tenets of the orthodox falth with so much effect that ] the most religious were forced to join 1 the merciment which followed. Then he discoursed sentences whosy well modulated eloquence held the audience almost breathless for a moment, until the climax had been reached and the silence was succeeded by repsated outbursts of ap- plause. As 1 beginning, Colonel Ingersolt stated that there was only one good in this world,. and that was happin The only diffor- ence was that some people wanted to be happy while others were svilling to be miser- able and take their happiness in the world to come, From this arose the division of mankind into two classes, the spiritual, or good peaple, who held all earthly hapbinoss in contempt, and the worldly people , who believed in gotting ali possible enjoyment out of the present. The good people told us that only the wicked were happy in this world. ‘Theirs was the hanpiness of love, of , of poe and of attaining their am- bitions by all houorable moeans, while the good people must carry a Cross. His Opinion of the World. ““This is not much of a world." continued the spealer, “‘but it {5 tho bost we have, and maybe it is the bestwe ovee will have. It you let a day oran hour o by in which you make yoursclf miserabio it can never como back to you. The spiritual people are will- ing to spend therr lives praying for others if others will worl for them. ~They have filled the world with fear. They have put & tyrant in the skies and made slaves of men and women. The most that they promise is that and faithful servant.’ 1do not waut to be the servaut evon of the Tfinite. The worldly people are gross enough to love thelr wives and children better than iheir God. “This is the better plan. If thore 18 a Gog he can get along without you, but your wife noeds your love. 1t is ything to her. Better make a little heaven here on earth even 1f it is necessary to huve a fittie hell hevenfter.” Religion Branded as n Myth. In the early days some one had explained the phionomena of nature, such as the bud- ding tree and springing flower, by saying that there was a spirit 1 it. So the world was peopled with spirits and each spivit became a god. Human imagination invested them with all the qualities of love and hate, and 80 by degrees these myths assumed the form of vretigion. All religions were mtringioally the same ~and from the offerts of the myth makers to answer the quesiions *Whence came 12" and “Whither am [ going?” These myths weve born of hopes and tears and smiles, and colored withall the joys and griefs of human lives. Most of the divinities which men had been L to worship were sun gods. Iu olden times the sun was supposed to shine half the time on the earth, and thea go down and shine on the fish, so god was depicted as half mau and half fish upson was u sun god, and many good Christiun peonle really belioved that a man's wuscle lay in his hair.

Tue similarity in the Christ, Buddha and all the other mytnolozy was conclusive proof that in fact they were the same. It was all one my with different names. All 1gions were variatious of sun worship, The fact that good poople Shut their eyes when they pray was a souveniv of the sun worship. gods had who wrought miracles.

Why should men think that a God who ‘woidd let men and women be burned at the stako for loving Him would Listen to their }l;:\_\‘m'l. 1f He would not hear thelr prayers m thelr dungeon walls why would he hear them now!

Science would finally classify all these religious and they would be keptlin a sort of mental museum as the intelleciual monstrosities of a bygone uge.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18, ~Caucus s now the order of the day outside of routine proceed- ings inthe senate. Roalizing as they do thatitis nextto impossible to. agree upon any substitute for the , reveal bill as it stands without a caucus, some of the anti-repeal mombers have been for the last two or three Jdays moving in the direction of securing & mset- ing of the entire democratic side of the chamber for the purpose of agraeing upon a party measure, and s opening of the ses- sion this morning foyud. their work in active progress. Senator Vest had prepared o formal call Jahd was clrculat- ing it among memboks, This call is directed to Senator Gorman a8 chairman of the dem- ocratic caucus, and it not only asks to call the caucus but pledges the signers to abide by its decision, i Mr. Vest had, at 1f o'vlock this morning, received sixteen signatuves, all of them anti. repeal men. The sitvermen signed the call without hesitation. || The repeal men appear to be holding off and it: would appear to be doubtful whether they will agree to the caucus. If they or a majority of them do not agree to it.1t is.doubtful whether the call will be fssued. od - It is believed Mr. Gorfitan would act favor- ably upon the raquest it'he thougnt a caucus would be produced. ., But ifany cansiderablo per cent of the members refuse to abide by the'decision the meeting would be barren of results and productive of move harm than benefit to his party, and therefore he would refuse to_call the 'democratic senators to- gether. The call for the meeting does not specify any time. Work of the Steering Committee. “The democratic steering committee of the senate was in session a great part of the day trying to devise a scheme for the settlement of the differences on the financial question in that part of tae senate, and appearances at the close of the day indicated that pro- grass had been made. The detail of the work was done by Sen- ators Cockrell and Gray, the ono of the free silver and the other of the repeal element. They remained together during the after- noon and long after the adjournment of the sonate, and were in consultation with other members of the democeatic fajth from time to time duriug the afternoon, The members were asked their views as o the propriety of compromise, and also requested to indi- cate how far they would respoctively go in making concessions to the opposite sides. Tt is asserted thut the committee which has the matter in charge progressed far euough to prepave-the rough draft of a bill which is to be submitted to the senate as 5000 08 4 majority of senators can be con- sulted uvon its merits. The members of the committec who were seen refused to confirm his reporr, as aid also -those with whom they had consulted. Proposed Compromise Bill, The story afloat asserted that the bill which is to be submitted would simply pro- vide for an extenston of ‘the present law for a year from the 1st of next July, but it was also impossible to get confirmation of this report. One of the members of the commit- tec referred to more or less personal re- marks made during the past few days by seversl democrats and agreed if there was uo other cure for a prevention of these re- marks, it was essential that an understand- ing should bo speedily reached, The, ono reat obstacle which n)»[ml'cm.l[y stands in the way of progress is the atui- tude of some of the repeal advocates. There are eight or ten of these who are regarded as the especial'vapresentatives of the adminis- tration, who, it is believed. are out against any change in the repeal bill, however slight, Tvis stated an effort 1s being made to bring these members to see the im- portance of u settioment of vhe question, and the scheme to briug about a party meas- ure will be dropped if this is unsucoessful and the republican senalors asked to the democrals %0 s to make @ majority of the sennte.
