How It Hinges.

The Intelligencer covered the import
ant part Of the entire case early. 1t
hinges upon the fact that no one saw
the accused at the Warrick home or in
1t. No one saw the fatal shot fired.
The dead boy had made an expression
as II he knew the thieves and robbers,
and the counsel for the defense must
make the most OF these facts to produce
doubt enough to save their clients from
some degree OF punishment and they
can be relied upon to use every hon.
orable effort in that direction. But the
case Of the state has been well sustain
ed by clrcumstantial evidence. under
the skillful guidance of the prosecuting
attorney and his assistant, and they
are strengthened in the belief that they
are right, strong in their knowledge Of
the law and able in advocacy OF its
enforcement. so that all the argument
will he followed closely by spectators as
well as jurors.

inflicted.

The evidence in the murder trial at
st. Clairsville is now all In, hut por-
ton OF the evidence given by the ac-
cused men will be reproduced this
morning for the purposes OF the defense,
and then will follow the arguments Of
counsel to the court and Jury summing
up the evidence and the law. The de-
Tense occupied all Of Saturday III pre-
senting testimony for their side OF the
case, ZONE of which was very dlsap-
pointing. But they did all they could
for their client-rather clients, for the
two are so closely linked together In all
the circumstances that the result OF this
trial Of Leonard Stevens will virtually
dispose Of that of Barney Divine.
Itwould scarcely be proper to say
that the culprits have utterly failed to
prove an alibi, but 1t is not amiss to
state that 1t remains for the abs and
adroit Major Petty and A. II. Mitchell,
counsel for the defense to produce rea-
sonable doubt in the minds OF the pub
lie that Leonard Stevens and Barney
Divine were not two Of the parties very
near to the Warrlck home on the night
Of the robbery and murder.
The closely woven train OF clrcum-
stances presented by the state was not
broken by the defense. Indeed tho
prosecution must have felt at The close
OF all the testimony submitted In the
case that they had bullded better than
they knew. With a carefully prepared
arrangement Of detail, well supported
by testimony as tc the movements Of
Leonard Stevens and Barney Divine
Immediately preceding and following the
crime, Prosecuting Attorney Armstrong
and his co-counsel. Judge ]. B. briggs,
felt that the chain Of crcumstantial
evidence was surely strong enough to
base q reasonable case upon, but they
could not know what the defense had
in store until that side had prepared
their case. 1t came, but not with the
positiveness and credibility that might
have been expected to sustain the claim
of absence from the vicinity OF that
home.

Barney Devine's Testimony.

On Saturday morning Barney Divine
was put on the stand by the state for
further cross examination. He was
asked simply regarding what he had
testified to ut the preliminary hearing
in Barnesville. There were quite u
number of discrepancies as to time,
principally, in his testimony given on
the two occasions. he explaining them
by saying that he was mistaken at that
time.
Mrs. Divine, the mother OF Barney
and grandmother of the defendant, who
lives In GAINESVILLE. and Is sixty-hve
years OF age, was next called and her
testimony was to the fact that Barney

Assault on Charlton Girl Was for Pur-

Charlton, March 7.-(special. 1.-The
mystery surrounding the, brutal as
|sault upon Miss Anna Hemming last
Wednesday night, bids fair to be clear
ed up next Friday when the prelimin-
airy hearing of the suspects will be
held. After several Intellectual at
tempts the officers seem to have hit
upon the right party, in the person of
Tom futile, a 19-year-old boy whom
they have in custody and who has
made confession duplicating young
man named Frank Sandahl. Tom
claims young Sandahl pointed the girl
out to him and he was to kill her and
receive $1,000 for his part of the work,
which he says was just one-half what
Sandahl was to receive for getting the
girl out Of the way. Sandahl is in GUS
tody but refuses to talk and what his
object was is mystery. 1t is limited
that he was hired by a third party to
do the work but whether or not this is
true or who the party is will not be
made plain until after the preliminary.
