LinyiIIc il Let OFF.

DAKOTA CITY, Neb, Nov. 27.-(Special
Telegram flames Llnville, who on the
morning of August 2S in a drunken row at
Goodwin shot and killed Henry Carpenter
and was captured at CCnde, S. D., last Sat
urday and brought here by Sheriff Borowsky,
had his preliminary examination before
County Judge Ryan today, which resulted in
his discharge. The evidence all tended to
show that Linville fired the shot In self-de-
fense while being underneath his victim and
having been previously hit on the head with
board in the hands of Carpenter. All the
witnesses engaged in the row favored Lin
vile with their evidence and the dead man
is reported having informed his parents
before his death that he was as much to
blame as Lnville and did not want him
prosecuted. Linville was much surprised at
the result OF the case and could hardly re-
alize that he has already gained his free
dom.

employed, have been already mentioned. ii
Is proper to remark here that the 100000
Saunders county bonds, the purchase OF
which has been so vociferously announced,
are not to be issued during the present year
and at the rate this fund is increasing there
should accumulate in the state treasury be-
lore the hrst OF the year an amount sufficient

adopted at one OF the meetings of the board
to purchase about 900 of the outstanding

THE COURT RECORD.
Supreme Court.

1925. Reynolds VS. State of Indiana.
Howard c. C. Affirmed. Monks, il.
Where the opening statement of the pros
ecuting attorney anticipated a defense of
alibi the defendant has no right to COM
plain. as it advised him in advance of the
evidence the State intends to give in re-
buttal or by cross-eXamination of his wit
nesses. 2. The scope of an opening state
ment in which the State anticipates the
defense, rests largely in the discretion of
the trial court and the same will not be
reversed unless the discretion has been
abused. 5. In prosecution for robbery it
is not error TO refuse to permit the defend
ant to prove that he was the owner of real
estate of the value of $500 for the purpose
of showing there was no motive for the
pensable to a conviction of crime. A
Judgment will not be reversed where all the
matters of law involved in the case were
not covered by the instructions given, the
remedy in such case is to ask instruc-
ton covering the omitted legal proposition,
and in case of refusal to reserve
ception. 5. An instruction that If the jury
is convinced by the evidence beyond a rea-
sonable doubt that the defendant is guilty
is not erroneous. g. Where the meaning of
an instruction is that when a defendants
