TRIAL NEARING END.
Case Of Davis, Alias Linbach,
Expected to Wind Up
Today.
CLOSING ARGUMENTS TO THE JURY.

Detective Andy Rohan Placed on the
Stand by the State, But is Not Permitted
to Disclose Defendants Real Identity
Strong CIrcumstantIaI Evidence-More
Jurors Are Drawn.
A strong case, so far as circumstan-
tial evidence goes. has been made by
the state in the prosecution of William
Davis, alias Julius Limbach, on a
charge of attempting to kill Officer
William Lee. of Moline. The closing
arguments are in progress this after
noon, and it is expected the case will
be given to the jury before court adj
journs for the day.
Detective Andy Rohan was placed
on the witness stand this morning by
the state. He said he had known the
defendant for eight years, but an at
tempt to bring out testimony as to
his correct identity was met with op-
position by the defending counsel, the
court sustaining the objection.
The defense only introduced one
witness-Dr. j. NJ. Wyland, of Mo-
line. Officer Lee said the man who
shot at him fell in front of the Moline
Pillow company's Office, about block
west of where the fracas occurred.
This man was presumably Davis.
The defendant, when being taken
from Moline to the county Jail, told
Deputy Sheriff Heider that after being
wounded he fell to the pavement in
front of the above mentioned office.
DR.. Wyland said that a person so
seriously wounded as Davis was could
not have been able to run from the
Moline Plow company to Twelfth
street, in which vicinity the defend
ant was found under box car.
