mary examination of Ben johnson,
thought to be implicated in the Wise
murder, has been set for Monday, June
10. Neither the state nor the defend

sons at $50 in the evening and went
directly to his home, on the road that
passes the Curry farm. When he
carle to his home two farmers who
lived above there, were watering their
horses, an dhe engaged in converse

get witnesses who will testify as to his
riding past their homes in an old bug
gy which ratified and squeaked so that
those who knew it could identity it
without seeing it. Johnson maintains
his innocence, and his old heart
broken father tells each n he meets,
with his voice quivering with emotion,
that Ben is innocent; 1 know he Is
