The fact that a do~uble-barrel shotgun and

that neither weapon was loaded. Young
Carter stated that Dodds fired three shots

DIETz MOTION ARGUED.
State Will Protest Tomorrow Against
q New Trial for the Slayer of
Russell Lindsay.

The motion for a new trial in the Dietz
case was called before Judge Alden In the
district court yesterday afternoon and when
court adjourned in the evening Attorney
Ben S. Henderson had just concluded his
argument in behalf of the defendant. The
state will make its argument against the
granting of a rehearing tomorrow. At
torney Henderson consumed the entire
the stand and proved by his testimony
that he had not been sworn when he took
charge of the jury. He also Shove by
afidavits that the jurors talked about mat
tiers not admitted in the evidence, and en-.
deavored to show that much of the ruled
out testimony had been considered by the
jury.
While there was a large number who
listened to the argument of Attorney Hen
derson who are inclined to believe that the
court will refuse a new trial. yet many pre-
dict that the young defendant will be given
chance for his life: Dietz occupied
a seat in the courtroom during the arSu-
ment and paid marked attention to every
word that was uttered. The members of the
Lindsay family were also present and were
interested spectators. On account of the
time taken up in the Dietz case the motion
in the Taylor case was not called. 1t will
not be argued until neXt Saturday.

that was travelling down through

most bleak and uninviting portion Of the
state. 1t was devoid of food and every
comfort that made life worth living. it
abounded in all that made life miserable.
One day while riding along an officer
near him, after pondering long over the
emptiness Of his stomach and hayersack.
said:
Colonel Philips, do you suppose Presi-
dent Lincoln was ever in Arkansas"
The colonel was not able to answer the
question, but asked why the inquiry was

A DOUBLE LIFE EXPOSED.
THE TORY OF DIR. JEkYLL AND Mr..
HYDE A REALITY.
Wife's Startling ReveIation-A Repu-
table Man Among His NeiEhbors
Proves to he n Firebug,
Burglar and Thief.

George Nominee. a Mexican veteran.
aged 20. of Oak HarSor. o., and suppos-
eGly a reputable citizen. has been arrested
on a confession OF his wife and is charged
with a series of crimes. She said her hUs-
band had been guilty of perpetrating many
of the bu-slaries in Oak Harbor for years
past, and that he had also started many OF
the fires that had resulted so disastrousiy
to the little town.
The outcome was that a search warrant
was sworn out and Nominees house visited
and many articles of value. afterwards
identified by leading citizens as having been
stolen from them, Were found. Nominee
was given a preliminary hearing. and was
boundo over to the common pleas court.
burglary and Arson.
Mrs. Nominee told to her attorney and
the county officials details of burglaries
and conflagrations that so impressed the
citizens of Oak Harbor with Nominees
guilt that there were threats of
Justice.
Among others she recited his alleged
connection with the burning of a saloon
owned by a man named Sabiers.
This occurred about six years ago The
wife says her husband got up from bed
about 2 o'clock In the morning and left
the house. When he returned some time
later he told her he had robbed the cash
drawer or the saloon, and after pouring
coal oil on the floor. set fire to it.
He also said he had taken everything
but a revolver from the till. Some time
after that, Mrs. Sabiers says.she heard the
explosion of the cartridge in a revolver
and then she aroused the neighborhood.
No suspicion rested on Momine at that
time.
A ~Clairvoyant Consulted.
About five years ago the residence of Mrs.
P.F. Binckley was entered and linens. silver
ware and other household articles were
stolen. Mrs. Buckley came to Toledo and
consulted a clairvoyant. She was told that
a neighbor had committed the crime. and
after returning home, Mrs. Buckley had
her neighbours house searched. None OF
the stolen property was recovered.
Set the Town Ablaxe.
Mrs. Nominee accuses her husband Of
having set fire to the Link Carriage re-
pository a few years age, which fire re-
suited in the destruction of almost one
quarter Of the town, and entailed n heavy
loss upon the citizens. She said Nominee
started the fire that burned up A%anspach
Bros mill five years ago. and. in addition
to this. she blamed him for starting many
of the fires which have visited Oak Harbor
during a period extending twenty years
back.
Mrs. Nominees two children. a boy about
10 and a girl some years younger, cnrrobor-
ated many of her statements.
