The Lake Shore and Michigan South
ern Railway is selling round trip tick
cts to California at a reduced rate
going one way and coming back an
other, leaving the choice of routes with
the passenger.
The Lake Shore offers many advant-
ages to those intending to make this
trip, principal among them being the
saving in time which this road makes
over any other line.
Not only this but the many comforts
and conveniences given by the Lake
Shore, and which are not found on
other roads, make the journey far more
pleasant and the time seem shorter
than it really is.
This line passes through the most
beautiful scenery in the country, and
tourists will be consulting their own
interests in travelling via the Lake
Shore. -

class restaurant. The Hazlehurst, for
merly the Gem cafe, in the Price

he nearly had to come back, though a
subpoena would not reach him.
DIR. Shockley. of Carroll. said that
under the conditions as stated by the
counsel that the evidence showed, he
did not think the child was dead when
found over As hours. Based his judg-
ment principally OH authorities.
DIR. Slower, of Carroll, testified to
about the same. Don'G know of second
death stiffness coming. If the body
had ice under it it might not have been
rs warm as the atmosphere by ten
degrees.
Wednesday morning DR.. Seyert, of
Council Bluffs. testified that under con-
dtions stated by counsel that the
evidence is, that the child was dead but
about two or three days. DR.. Porter
field, of Atlantic, stated about the
same, as did DR.. Miller, of Audubon.
DR.. Williams, of Atlantic, said lie
couldn't tell, mightlav been there a
good while. DR.. McKenna, of Manning
thought from ten hours to four days.
DIR. Lauritzen, of Extra, thought about
four days. Dr.. Williams, recalled,
thought hat if the temperature was
from 80 to 3S il might have been dead
number of days. Dr. Newton, of
Extra, thought four or five days. Prof.
Schiller, of Drake University, and a
division surgeon in the late war at
Santiago, thought about twenty four
hours under conditions stated by
counsel but otherwise it might have
been several days.
Art Palmer testified he was at Hig-
gins from to 10 or IL Il. m. March

Miss Clara Leib, of Douglas township
knows defendant and saw him March II
at about or p. m. sitting on a post
north of the North Western railroad
bridge near Audubon.
Gus Dettman who lives northeast of
Audubon testified to practically the
same.
Dr. Haley, professor of surgery in a
Kansas City medical college testified
that decomposition of dead bodies does
does not proceed at 40 degrees or below.
A body can be kept in snow or ice water
indefinitely. For dissection they keep
bodies that way four of five months.
Under the conditions shown in the evil
dence as stated by counsel he thought
the body would be in fair condition for
two weeks. The blood coagulates soon
after death and at beginning of decom
position it becomes fluid again. The
condition as described by DR.. Childs as
to the blood settling to the right side Of
body and its condition lead him to think
the child had been dead at least two
weeks. Blow on head was before death.
