WAR OF THE SENES.
y war between the sexes broke loose and
the Great Dispenser sighed like d man full
OF sorrow for the sins of his fellowmen
and his soul was shrivelcd up like the
Irish potato he carries in his pocket to
cure the rheumatism, because of the num-
Der Of women beaten and bruised by unap-
preciative man.
Henry Loving was charged with being
drunk and beating Mrs. Cora Loving, his
wife They had no witnesses and denied
each others statements Henry said he
wasn't drunk and did not hit her.
Mrs. Loving swore he hit her on the
head and kicked her in the side and said
she would not tell a story unless in duty
bound.
JUSTIFIABLE FIB.
The Great Dispenser was .nquisitive to
know the circumstances under which she
considered a story iustifiable, She said
she might tell story to keep the peace
and the Great Dispenser thought it might
not be recorded against her in such good
cause He also thought If fellow came
in late at night and told a little fib about
the tine it might be overlooked.
When the Great Dispenser asked Mrs.
Loving what she wanted done with Henry
she said she didn't care II he WIS hung.
The Great Dispenser looked at Mrs.
Loving's hard-set mouth and then cast
less severe eye on Henry. Mrs Loving
said he could do with Henry just as he
liked, and the more he punished him the
better she would like it. The Great Dis
penser gave Henry a sympathetic glance
and asked to see the nnrks of Henrys
violence on her head.
Doctor Thomas examined the womans
head and found no scars.

sauItns and abusing Molie Butler. The
lurid and contradictory evidence on each
side cnused the ease to be dismissed and

7, D. VOGELGESANG
Tells of the Bill That John
ROmmel Brought to
the Bank.

r. D. Vogelgesang, teller OF the Geo.
d. Harter bank, came in and stated that
John Rommel had deposited a 500 bill.
What kind of a bill was it?" asked
Prosecutor Day."
ut was a Lincoln bill"
WAS it creased?"
yes, sir; the creases were so plain
that the bill would naturally fall in
that condition"
What became of the bill?"
. can officer got it,"
"How long was the bill in your bank?"
1T laid there a long time, after it
was brought back, and was then passed
out in the channels of trade"
On cross-eXamination by Mr.. Grant,
Mr.. Vogelgesang said that he noticed
the bill because hundred dollar bills
were not very common.
You held this bill at the request of
the prosecutor"
Yes, sir"
"Why did you let it go?"
1--WE thought there was nothing more
of the case"
when an officer called you dug up
the bill?"
1--WE found it there"
Nothing of further Importance was
elected and the witness was excused
During the lull in the proceedings at
the time Mr. Vogelgesang was excused
Mr.. Grant made some reference to the
fact that the state once had possession
Of the bill and allowed it to get away
from them" Mr.. Pomerene stated to
the court that the bill was to have been
left at the Geo. D. Harter bank for u
time till called for but that, contrary
to instructions it was put out into the
channels of trade, without the know
ledge or consent of the prosecution.

II don't know their names"
How was Henderson dressed?"
"He had on litish coat and a soft
hat and kind of a dark suit"
what about the remainder Of his
dress?"
"I didn't notice that particularly"
What kind of shoes did he have on?"
'I didn't look at his shoes"
do you mean to say you don't know
how that man was dressed and yet iden-
tify him three years after?"
1T wasn't looking at his feet, was
looking him in the eye"
you think this was one of the men?"
IT don't say think It. say know
this is the man."
you believe this is the man who was
there?"
IT know he was there"
co. you know it?"
"Well I will put it this way-that is
the man."
"Who got you to go over to the jail?"
"Turenn Meyer"
Didn't the prosecutor have anything
to do with it?"
II didn't say that"
what did you say about Byron
Walters and Byerly?"
'I said the men asked for them"
Now tell us about the comparative
height of these men,"
"Well, the man that came up with
this man was taller than this man. The
other two were about the same height
as this man."
did you see the color of this mans
eyes?"
why, yes; I was right up against
him"
what color eyes did he have?"
"Well, his whiskers were red, when
they were out"
I'm not asking about his whiskers." ;"
what do you want to know?"
Eyes, Isaac, eyes?'
"Well, his eyes were kind of reddish" ."
"He had red eyes had he?"
mo, 1 didn't say his eyes were red"
"Well, you looked into his eyes; what
color eyes did he have?"
Now that is a fine look, Mr.. Bald
win!"
Yes, and you're fine locker, Isaac"
"What kind of a face did he have?"
"TIe had a round face"
"And was it smooth?"
"Yes, SIR
"Yet you say his whiskers were red?"
IT said they would. be red If they
came out"
'Do you mean a man freshly shaved
But, this man wasn't freshly shaved.
I could see his beard would be sandy"
"How about the fellow next to the
wall?"
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-03-27

HE was heavy set fellow; and he
spit on the wall"
did you have scrap with that fell
low?"
mo, not just a scrap?"
You heated poker for that fellow,
didn't your"
Now, Mr.. Baldwin, you don't want
to know about that, do you?"
"Yes, let's have it,"
"Well, I stuck the poker in the stove
and -
you didn't make for the fellow with
1t, did you?"
mo, left it in the stove"
"Oh, you left it in the stove. The fact
is, Isaac, you paid more attention to the
man that was back in the corner and
was splitting on the wall, than you
did to any of the rest of them?"
"Oh, no. 1 kept an eye on all of
them"
you were getting that poker hot in
anticipation of trouble were you not?"
well, was kind of figuring out
whether, If there was any trouble, /
would come out first or second best"
with that hot poker there wouldn't
be much question about it would there?"
"Well, I'll tell you, Mr.. Baldwin, I
think If my plans had carried out !
would net have come out second best"
Little else was asked for and Stripe
was excused. He was told to remain in
attendance, and it is understood that he
will be on the stand again in rebuttal,
If the defense puts in something that
the state expects is coming.
