ABILENE, KANSAS, THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL A. 1885,
THE 7AyLoas' TRIAL.
The Defense Trying to Prove IN Alibi-
Evidence Expected to he All Ia To-Day.


Evidence Expected to BE All Ia To-Day.
CARRoLLroN, Mo-, March 80. AS
might be expected, the sole topic OF
conversation here Is the Taylor murder
! trial. 1t is discussed on the streets, in
the hotels, everywhere. At the open
ing Of court yesterday, the state rested,
and the defense disclosed their line Of
evidence, which Is principally an alibi,
Mrs, Gibson testified that George Tay-
lor, her son-in-law, came home at 9
o'clock on the night of May 10, when
the murder was committed, and that
he RENAMED athame all night, and left
there on the morning of the murder at
7o'clock
Mrs George Taylor testified that
George came home at . o'clock the
night Of May 10, and slept all night
with her, that they got up at ) o'clock
the next morning, ana that George left
about I that morning,
j. c. Taylor the father of the &C.
cused, and two younger brothers said
they examined the wagon the dead
bodies had been hauled in the night
before, and that there were no blood
stains, as had been proven by the
state. Mr.. Taylor was asked to explain
how the wagon had become burned
after the discovery Of the murder, and
said his grandchildren used it for
playhouse, and some straw in it might
have been set on fire with matches.
The next witness for the defense was
Mrs. johnson, from Milan, who at
tempted to impeach the testimony Of
Mrs, Martha j. Meeks, the mother Of
the murdered man.
Miss Van Wye, of Browning, whose
testimony the state will try to impeach
by rcbuttal evidence, swore that she
saw W, P Taylor closing up the house
at 10 o'clock the night Of May 10, at
which time they were seen going
toward Milan after the Meeks family.
Mrs. Cooper, of Milan, testified that
she was not positive as to who came
after her son the night before, but
thought it was the old Taylors.
Mrs. Caroline Taylor, the white.
haired mother Of the two men on trial
for their lives, said she had five sons.
William was the eldest and George
next. On the evening Of May 10 George
Taylor, her son, come to her house, 4
mile distant, and borrowed his fathers
team and lumber wagon to 60 to
Browning the next morning. Jim
Harris, Georges hired man, returned
the wagon. Later, when she heard
her sons had been accused Of murder,
she examined the wagon for blood
stains and saw none.
1t Is expected that all the evidence
will be in by tonight, and that the
arguments will begin Monday, unleas
the defense produces some very strong
evidence to-day, which will require .
great amount Of rebuttal evidence BY
tho state.
