naturally. He ate his supper at his usual
hour, and ut nine O'Clock bade his family
good night and went to his bed room. In a

THE DEFENSE BEGUN.
j. r. Burton Outlines the Case in the Os-
bon Trial

LAWRENCE, May 15.-Clinton c. Osbon
killed Charles B. Handle while in fit
of temporary insanity-so say his attor
neys. The prosecution, however, does
not admit this assertion. The claim has
been made also that the father of the
defendant is in an insane asylum, but
there seems to be some doubt as to this
assertion.
1t is true that Clinton c. Osbon's son
died a short time ago in the Topeka
asylum. The prosecution this time
comes forward with the claim that it can
be proven that the young mans insanity
was not of an hereditary character but
from an entirely different cause. This
will be brought out in the trial when the
defense offers the case in evidence
1t created no little surprise when the
state rested after calling only fourteen
Witnessed
The evidence thus far has gone to show
defendant, as he had lurked around
in the woods in search of
Charles Handle for two days. The
character Of the daughter has not been
assailed yet, except as it has been by the
language of her father as given by the
Witnesses for the state.
When the defendant met Handle he
accused him of having ruined his daugh-
ter. Should the defense bring up the
subject the prosecution will introduce
evidence which will tend to substantiate
the rumors. The ladies of the Social
Purity league stoutly maintain that Miss
Estelle Osbon is perfectly straight.
John Handle was put upon the stand.
He and the deceased were riding home
