Matters.
Little, if any, testimony will be
offered in defense of William Davis,
alias Julius Limbach, on trial in the
circuit court on a charge of attempt
ing to kill Officer William Lee, of Mo-
line. The program of the defendants
counsel, it is understood, is to rest the
case on the completion of the intro
duction of evidence by the prosecution.
1t is expected all the testimony will
be in by tomorrow night.
So far the state has been unable to
identify Davis with the gang that is
alleged to have made a murderous at
tack upon Officer Lee in Moline one
night last summer. There were five
men in the crowd when he halted
them, which was the signal for the
starting of the shooting The de-

five men, showing the direction they
took, none having gone toward the
locality in which the defendant was

body.
His revolver was picked up nearby

is held as all important in Davis ia
vor by his attorneys, who say it sub
stantially disproves the allegation
that he shot at Lee.
