DEGREE ESTABLISHED.
Not Necessary to Prove That
There Was Premeditated
Malice.

There Is one burden that the state is
relieved of in a case of this character,
1t is not necessary to prove malice or
premeditation. That has always been
a stumbling block in murder cases, and
accounts for many manslaughter
verdicts. There is no "heat of blood"
to be contended on either side and the
state of mind ofsthe accused before the
acts complained of were committed is
not at issue. If he went there to commit
burglary or robbery, and in the act kill
ed the victim of his crime, he is guilty
of murder in the first degree, the statute
specifying premeditated malice shall be
presumed in such case. 1t is an unlaw-
full act for the person to be where the
crime is committed, even before the
murder is committed and no protection
from a first degree case is given to
him under the law. So If the state
makes out that Henderson was there
on that night, or had any part in the
matter, whether he struck any of the
blows or held the candle to the old mans
hip, he is guilty of murder, whether he
ever knew John Hartong or not; and
whether he ever had malice against him
or occasion to have any.

WALTERS CONCLUDES.
He Steps Down After a Cross
Examination That Was
Quite Interesting:

When Judge Baldwin took up the
cross examination of Byron Walters, he
commenced right away with the decla-
ration made by Walters that John Har-
tong did not tell him anything about
the fellows covering him up, but that
he believed that the old man was cover
ed up. The dialogue in the first part
of the cross examination was printed
in the News Democrats 3 o'clock edi-
ton Wednesday. After passing over
the point where Walters said that Har-
tong wanted to tell o. p. Shanafelt who
he recognized on that night and would
not tell the witness and after Judge
Baldwin had got him to say that he had
then gone about his own business, Judge
Baldwin asked:
Didn't Hartong tell you that he
knew who the fellows were, that they
lived near him and isn't 1t fact that
he named one Of them?"

HARTONG'S STORY.
What He Told Byron Walters
the Morning After the Visit
of the Robbers.

The News Democrat, Wednesday,
carried the case in detail up to the time
of the admission of the testimony with
respect to dying declarations said to
have been made by John Hartong.
After it had been decided that so far
as John Hartong was concerned he be-
lieved he was about to die when he was
talking to Byron Walters On the morn
ing he was discovered and that to all
intents and purposes, even If he did live
a week, he was making what he sup
posed was dying statement, Walters
remained on the stand and gave testi-
mony concerning the conversation he
had with the victim of the robbers,
The admission of this testimony in all
probability will admit anything that
Hartong may have said during the week
that he lived, crouching on the events

They were on the verge once Wednes-
day in the case of Ohio against William
Henderson. 1t has been suggested from
time to time that there were some
latent sensations in the case that is now
on trial and 1t looked for a minute as
IL somebody was going to- bang right in
to one but it didn't quite happen. OF
course 1t is charged that William Hen
derson was one of the men who visited
the Hartong home that night, and he is
the only one that is on trial, but the
evidence is that there were three per-
sons who went into the old mans bed
chamber that night and that another
came in later. So while Henderson is
the only one now on trial, there are
three others now unaccounted for.
There Is reason, therefore, to expect
that something about the others may
come out before the trial ends. Some
witness might drop something that
would indicate who the others were
and this Is being looked for.
The verge stage referred to was reach
ed while Byron Walters was on the
stand. Walters testified that he and
Hartong had a conversation just after
he had removed the towel from around
his neck. He said that Hartong told
him he thought the men were from the
neighborhood of Greentown and that
he recognized one of them. Walters
asked him who, but he would not tell.
But Walters intimated that the old man
told Charles Smith and possibly others
What will come of it later will develop,
but the cross-examination of Walters
was prolific of the greatest interest
owing to what it might divulge. When
he said that the old man would not tell
him who he recognized, there was much
disappointment among those who had
worked themselves up to the right pitch
for a disclosure.
The case progressed rapidly Wednes-
day and the crime has been proven
conclusively before the hour of adjourn
ment came, and physicians had testi-
fled as to the wounds and whether they
were sufficient to cause death. If death
were caused by something other than
the treatment John Hartong received
that night, there could be no case for
murder made out and the crime would
be burglary, with few frills because
of the enormity of the transaction. The
state has therefore to prove things as
it goes along, establishing that fact that
a crime was committed, that it was
committed in Stark county and that
death was caused from the acts perpe-
trated on the night named in the in
dictment and in the manner set forth.
the evidence of the doctors on this point
was concise, both physicians for the
state asserting positively that the treat
ment the old man received at the hands
of the robbers caused his death.

another on the inner portion of the
ankle. The first DIR. Brant thought,
had been occasioned by direct applica-
tion of heat and could have been made
by lighted candle. The blister on the
ankle might have been occasioned in
some other way DIR. Brant next told
Of the examination of the body and the
organs. He said that there was an
enlarged PROSTATE gland that might
have led to a retention in the bladder.
There was a slight irritation of the
mucus membranes of the bladder
Other organs were practically normal.
Prosecutor Day stated hypothetical
case covering the contentious of the
state in this lawsuit, reciting all that
was done to the old man on that night
and then asked If that probably caused
death.
Judge Baldwin objected on the ground
that Byron Walters had said that he
believed that Hartong was covered, and
that the hypothesis was not fitting to
this case.
The court ruled that the question was
competent and DR.. Brant answered.
"In my opinion the man died from ex-
ternal violence and exposure to the cold,
resulting in shock"
"In other words the man died from the
treatment described in the hypothetical
question:"
"Yes, SIR"
The cross-examination was conducted
by Judge Baldwin. The wounds were
again probed, figuratively, and de-
scribed in detail. DIR. Brant said there
was no evidence of fracture of the
skull and that the tissues of the brain
were not injured. The fluid found in the
brain cells might have been produced
by the blow on the had and the condi-
tion might have caused death, and
would if remaining there a length of
time. DR.. Brant said that burns are
always serious and that small burn
might cause death, when least expected.
You don't mean that these burns
produced death?" asked Judge Baldwin.
II do not say that they did not"
But you don't say, in your opinion,
that they did?"
II say, in my opinion, they might"

You don't know what kind of treat
ment he got?'

And you think there was a wound
sufficient to kill him?"
when we examined into this mat
ter we began at the head and went
clear down to the feet. The blow on
the head, the bruises on the back, the
confused wounds on the wrists, the
burns on the. hip, the bruises on the
arms and legs. the burn on the toe, the
blister on the ankle, all taken together

the man. the fact that he laid on the

his back, with his hands tied behind
his back and his arms doubled up under
| him, with substantially no cover on
| him, suffering with the cold and the
shock-I say taking all these things

DEATH"
There was very little questioning after
| that and Dr. Brant stepped down.
Court here adjourned to Thursday
morning at $3.50 o'clock.
