Now-Prosecution Asserts That

The case of the state vs. Cornelius R.
Snowden, the Richfeld dentist charged
with adultery. was not tried yesterday
by Judge Norrell. owing to the fact
that Miss Adney Keeler, the woman
in the case. was not present.
Attorney A. c. Potter of Sewer coun-
ty. after being admitted to practice
upon the motion of Judge H. p. Hem
derson, presented sworn certificate
from DR.. Neal of Richfield to the ef-
feet that Miss Keller was a patient of
his, and-that she was in delicate state
of health; in fact, she expected to be-
come a mother within the space of two

Opposed By Putnam.


This proceeding was strenuously OPP
posed by County Attorney Putnam. He
designated it as a scheme to delav the
trial until the defendant had been di-
vorced by his wife. when he would
marry Miss Keller. and, by such means,
endeavor to escape from the retribution
of the law. Mr.. Putnam wound up his
proter. by asking that the court issue
an attachment for the missing witness
Mrs Eliza Keeler. mother of the
woman in the case, was called and ad-
nitted that her daughter was present
at the hearing of the Snowden divorce
suit few days ago. She affirmed that
her daughters health was in very
precarious condition.
Sheriff Coors Of Sewer county, on
the other hand. stated that he saw
Snowden and the absent witness walk
ing out together on Sunday. In his
opinion the parties must have walked
four miles.

Reviewed the Case.

Attorney Putnam then reviewed the
Snowden case in detail, for the infor-
nation Of the court. He stated that
since the exposure incidental to the
arrest Of Snowden. the wife Of the de-
fendant had taken her husbands al
legged irfidelity into court, with the OBJ
ject of obtaining divorce from Snow
den; the latter did not propose to con-
test the case. and as soon as the de-
cree was granted, the s2ichfield dentist
figured on marrying Miss Keeler. Judge
Norrell took the matter under advise
ment until 1C o'clock this morning.
Attorney Potter, on behalf of the de-
PENDANT, presented and argued a mo-
ton to Cuash the information, upon
the grounds that the court had no jur-
isdiction over the subject matter of the
case. This motion, was also taken un-
