sure she saw him constantly from 10 a. m.
to dinner time.
The cross examination was by Mr.. SOM
ervi,le. She was
ABSOLUTELY SURE
she was with defendant all the time, from
the time he returned from Wheeling until
after dinner. They were fixing the drum
up to noon. The witness and counsel had
some little trouble over the drum bus ness,
and the questions and answers were bit
snappy at times, and at times the speak
ers even got ahead of the stenographer.
1t was Mr.. Somervile's object to ascer-
tain just what was done to the drum, who
cid it, and how long it took. The witness
was examined on this line for a long time,
to the great amusement of the spectators.
Taking another line, witness was asked
what day she began her visit to her faith
er. She thought it was Friday or Satur-
Cay, but she could not be certain. She
was certain Of the date when defendant
helped fix the drum, however. because it
was the day of the parade, and the day
before the election. Witnessed insisted
that she was personally with defendant
from 10 o clock until after noon. She knew
where wye boWSfS was, puI sAe uiu lioI
know where some of the members of her
own family were. Witness, defendant and
a boarder ate dinner together that day.
On redirect examination, witness said
she did not see George Bowers about that
day.
Charles Stein was the next witness call
ed and was examined by Mr.. Dryden.
The substance of his evidence was about
the same as preceding witnesses for de-
Tense, as to events the day Kie! was killed.
Court adjourned until 8 a. m.

ground that It was irrelevant (Over-
ruled.)
1t was then moved to exclude on the
ground that no part Of said testimony
in any way connected the defendant
with the crime charged in the indict-
ment (Overruled.)
The next motion was to exclude, on
the ground that the testimony, as a
whole and every Fart Of it. had wholly
failed to show that the death OF Henry
Kiel did not result from accidental
causes. (Overruled.)
The next motion was to exclude, on
the ground that the testimony, in part
and as whole, utterly failed to prove
the corpus deficit, within the rule es-
tablished. (Overruled.)
The defense then moved to exclude,
on the ground that in the testimony
there was no discriminating circum-
stances connecting the defendant di-
rectly or indirectly, with the offense
charged. (Overruled.)
The defense then moved the Court to
direct the jury to render verdict of
not guilty, on the ground that no tes-
timony had been offered by the State
tending to convict the defendant with
the offense charged. (Overruled.)

THE MORNING SESSION.
Corroborative Evidence Adduced on Behalf
of the State.

When Court convened yesterday
morning the State called Jacob Hey
mann as the first witness for the day.
He testified to having sold COW to
deceased On the day Of the tragedy.
Michael Friesmuth, of Fulton, was
next called. His evidence was that be-
tween seven and eight o'clock on the
morning of the day that Kiel was kill
ed he saw the two Bowers boys pass
ing STEMS blacksmith shop and that
Wylie Bowers had what was evidently
gun under his arm.
On crosS-eXamination, witness ad-
mitted that at one time he had some
animosity toward the Bowers boys,
but that none existed now. He de-
MED having furnished the State with
information leading to the arrest of
the defendant.
EX-Sheriff A. A. Franzheim was
next called. He testified as to his Off
cial position at the time of the trag-
edy, and to his efforts to ferret out the
guilty parties. He had noticed tracks
On the hillside near the scene of the
crime, but they were not very dis
inct.
The cross-eXamination was short
Ind mainly related to unimportant
matters, although Mr.. Franzheim was
questioned to some extent about the
tracks. He was unable to say def
nitely where they began or ended.
Elsie Steel, who lived with the
Kiel's, came next. He had noticed
tracks on the hillside, near the scene
Of the shooting. There were two sets
of tracks, one more distinct than the
other, and one set was smaller than
the other.
The cross-eXamination was long
and there was some verbal sparring
between counsel for defense and wit
ness. At the end of the examination
the defense moved to strike out, but
was overruled.
Mrs. William 'Clatterbuch was then
called. She testified that On the day
of the shooting she saw two men pass
shorter. The tallest carried a gun
They were out in the field when she
saw them, and witness said she had
the impression that the men were at
ter her chickens. The old motion to
exclude was overruled.
Mrs. John Johnson was sworn and
said that on the day of the murder she
saw two men, or boys, crossing the
motor track in view Of her house.
They passed after dinner, while wit
ness was on the porch. The larger
of the two men carried a gun. They
went across the pike toward the bridge
over the creek at Steenrods. She did
not know the Bowers boys and there
fore could not identify them. She
thought the men came down from the
hill.
The cross-examination of this wit
ness was long and searching, but she
was not shaken and maintained her
story WELL There was the usual mo-
lion to exclude, with the usual re-
suit, and at noon Court adjourned.

Ayers
Asthma
Cure

better known as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral, has made a record for it's
remarkable cures Of asthma. Cases
that have been considered beyond;
hope or help have been cured by,
this remedy. We give two examples
of such cures out Of the many on
record =
"My mother has been a great sufferer
from asthma for the past ten years, and her
recovery is almost without a parallel. On
account of her advanced age-over seventy
we had but little hopes Of ever seeing her
well again; but we are sincerely grateful to
inform you that she has been entirely cured
by the use Of Ayers Cherry Pectoral."

OPERA HOUSE-Friday. Miss Hennig s
Pupils; Saturday. "The Girl Left Behind
Me"
The great laughing success OF the
season, "McFadden's Row Of Flats, >
will open a half weeks engagement at
the Grand Opera House tonight. Rich
ard X. Mullen, who plays the part Of
Tim McFadden, has the most perfect
Irish brogue of any artist essaying
like roles. 1t has been said that his
dialect is superior to Harrigan and
Murphy. The leading lady is handsome
Lizzie Conway, who has had an extern
sive experience in farce comedy and
comic opera. Miss Conway will play
the part OF the dashing widow, Mrs.
Murphy, queen of the fats. The ad-
vance sale of seats indicates a big
house tonight.
"Maries Secret" by Belle Marshall
Locke, promises to be one of the best
of the treats to be given by Miss Hen
mig and other Wheeling talent at the
Opera House Friday evening. It tells
the story Of Marie Marchmont, who be-
ing wooed and won while very young
by a brilliant but unprincipled man,
is persuaded to leave her home and
consent to secret marriage. Her hus-
bands conduct becomes maliciously bad
after short time, and in fit CT anger
one day he tells her their marriage was
a farce and that she is not his wife.
She leaves him at once. After five
from an honorable gentleman whom she
loves. Believing herself dishonored by
the mock marriage che Is in despair at
not being able to accept the offer OF
marriage. In her sorrow she tells her
secret to her servant, who Is
her sister lin disguise) who
informs her that her former husband
died, leaving a witnessed confession
that Marie was his lawful wife. The
work is strongly emotional and gives
Miss Hennig an opportunity to display
her very decided talent In that lire.

A fair-siZed audience saw the pro-
duction of Hoyt's "A Contented Wo-
man" at the Opera House last night.
Although by no means the best thing
which the pen of this popular play
wright has produced 1t is very
amusing farce. The company which pre-
scented it last night, like all companies
appearing in Hoyt's productions, was
capable in every respect. Miss Belle
Archer was especially pleasing In the
title role. Among the clever specialties
Bonnie Lottie, and the singing of Mr..
Maxwell were enthusiastically received.
The only objection which might be
urged against the production 10 a toe
free use Of profanity and little sug.
gestiveness In the songs.

life at Post Kennion, in the Black Foot
country, Montana, during the Indian
uprising of 1890, and there are many
scenes of the most intense and exciting
kind Particularly the one where the
Indians attack the little garrison at
sunrise, with the generals daughter
pleading with her father 10 shoot her,
not to let her fall into the hands CT tie
Indians. Although the background OF
the play is rough, it is in every respect
polished piece. Its dialogue is terse
and direct, its actions rapid and culmin-
alive, its climaxes growing stronger
with each act. The lighter side OF the
play rests on the love making of several
couples.

Popular interest in the trial of the
murder case of State VS.. Wylie w.
Bowers, charged with the murder of
Henry Kiel, on the second day of No
vember, 1896, was vastly increased
yesterday, after the public had read
the sensational evidence of George
Bowers, brother of the accused, in the
morning papers, and there was, as one
result, an increased rush of specta-
tors to the Court House yesterday
morning and afternoon. In fact, it
would have required the largest public
hall in the city to accommodate all
those who desired to listen to the pro-
ceedings, and the accommodations at
the Court House were wholly made
quate.
Many people were doubtless drawn
to the building yesterday morning in
the expectation that George Bowers
would resume the stand, but he was
not again put on.
All over the city, throughout the
day, the case was talked about, and
many emphatic opinions were ex-
pressed, upon one side or the other.
In the event that another trial is nee
essary, it will be very difficult to OBJ
tain jury, because most people are
forming, or have already formed and
expressed, an opinion, on one side or
the other.

days,o have all those Liable to road duty to
work the required number of days. Now
three times thirty are ninety and sixteen t'nes
ninety, fourteen hundred and forty dollars the
county will have to pay for something that
heretofore cost the county nothing, aud for
