was from Lawrence township.
His defense was looked after by J.
Ogden Burt, Esq., and Mr.. Burt ex.
cused all the Cedarville men from serv.
ing on the Jury which tried the case.
Facemeyer was charged by James F.
Everingham, with breaking into his
corn-crib and stealing six bushels of
corn on the ear, together with the
bags containing the corn.
A search warrant discovered the
corn at the Facemeyer's house, which
was one of the arguments of the
Prosecution.
Mr.. Everingham was first put on the
stand. He said tine theft occurred on
the night of July 10Th last; he discov.
cred when he went to the corn crib in
the morning that a slat had been
broken off the crib and about six
bushels of ears had been taken
He and his hired man, Hustled, ar d
his wife found the tracks of three me n
who had crossed his newly titled to.
mato patch to and from his corn crib
to wagon along the Newport road;
he followed this wagoa track to the
house of Facemeyer.
A search warrant was procured and
corn was found in Facemeyer's barn
which Mr.. Everingham claimed was
some of the corn from his crib.
Constable David Simpkins took the
stand and produced samples of corn
taken from Facemeyef's barn while
executing the search warrant which
had been placed in his hands, and also
corn taken from Everingham's crib.
Mr.. Everingham identified the sample 8
as his corn. Bloomfield Spencer was
next called. He said that the corn
which MIR. Everingham was raising,
and had in his crib was variety sent
from Merchantville, N. j., from a
brother of his, and he had let Mr.. Ev-
ertngham have seed of it.
Charles o. Newcomb, the miller.
gave testimony, showing that Mr.. Ev-
eringham had brought him a peculiar
variety of corn to grind. He identified
the samples of corn In Court as the
kind which Mr.. Everingham had
brought to his mill He also identified
the two samples in Court as being the
same kind of corn.
He also brought sample of Mr.,
| Everingham's corn taken from a grist
which had just been received at his
mill, and said he should call it tho
same kind of corn as the two samples
produced by the constable.
Eli Earl was sworn and said that
Facemeyer had purchased corn of him
last Spring for planting. He examin ed
the samples of corn in Court and said
1t was not the kind of corn he had sold
to Facemeyer.
The State rested, and the defense
opened their eide by calling Eric Shaw
to the stand.
This witness was to prove that the
corn which was taken from Facemey-
er's by the constable, was corn which
Mr.. Facemeyer had purchased from
Eli Earl, but made out very indiffer-
entity. He had an ear of corn, how.
ever, which he produced, and said he
had taken from Mr.. Facemeyer's
loaded wagon last Tuesday. which
