THE STATE RESTS.
AT this point Prosecutor Bow said, 1.-The
State Rests" About twenty-five witnesses
for the defense were then called but none
of them responded except DIR. Phillips.
Judge Critchfield said he expected
the State would occupy all day,
and consequently their witnesses were not
present, but they would get them here as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Pomerene then called Edward
'Swanes for further cross examination.
He asked IL, on the morning Lille Bord-
ner came from Sandyville to Canton, she
asked him to raise the window so she
could throw up. The State objected.
Judge Critchfield said that the defense
proposed to offer all of the statements
they desired to argue the case at some
length. The State claims the declarations
made by the dead girl are not competent.
AT the hour of going to press the argu-
ments are being made on the admission
of such statements.
