DEFECT IN THE IRON.

Packing Company VIII be Finished
Tonight.
The testimony in the case of Vaughn
VS.. Empson Packing company on trial
in the district court before Judge Bough-
ton, was completed this afternoon. The
outline of the defense was that the ex-
plosion which resulted in the death of
Mrs. Vaughn's son was due, not to any
negligence on the part of the company,
but to detect in the IRON, against which
no provision could be made, as it could
not be foreseen.
Judge Boughton stated that court will
continue this evening until the compile
ton of the case.
