G. & A. Line Formally
Transferred to NJ. O. 7.
WORK BEING PUSHED
With all Possible Rapidity--
Road to 30 in Operation
BY First Of the
New Year.

The Canton-Akron line has at last
been formally transferred to the
Northern Ohio Traction company, ac-
cording to the Akron Democrat, which
has the following to say relative to the
new line:
Engineer ]. T. Ross, Of the N. o. T.
company will start Friday on an in
spection trip over the Canton-Akron
road. It is hoped by the company to
have the road in operation by the first
of the year, and the contractors have
been urged to
FILL THEIR FORCES
to the limit. Within the past week
nearly so extra men have been put
to work.
Every now and then doubt Is ex-
pressed relative to the formal closing
of the deal, conveying the Canton-Ak-
ron road to the Everett-Moore syn
dicate. Manager Currie. of the N. 0.
T. company, stated Thursday that all
the papers have been signed, and that
the N. o. T. has taken formal posses
sion of the property. 1t is the inten-
ton of the company to put big
COMBINATION CARS
on the Canton-Akron road-the same
as those on the A. b. & G. line. The
new machinery being added to the
n. o. T. power plant in Akron will
increase its capacity almost 100 per
cent, and provide all power needed for
operating the Canton-Akron line. This
increase in the capacity of the plant
was authorized when the company de-
clded upon building the Canton, Mas
sillon and Akron line. That the pro-
ject for the latter line has
BEEN ABANDONED
! for the present, at least-is made
power plant will be built for operating
the Canton Akron line. The Akron
power plant. even with the increased
capacity planned, would not be suffi-
cient for operating both lines be-
tween Canton and Akron.
1t is believed, however, that the N.
o. T. company will build line from
Akron
TO TURKEYFOoT LAKE.
and the announcement has also been
made that this line will be move
ment by the syndicate toward making
Tnrkeyfoot more prominent resort,
as business enterprise of its own.
Stories have been circulated that the
company purposes to build large
hotel there. These rumors were first
heard when the company took action
to
RESTRAIN Mr.. WHITING
of Canton, from obtaining from the
state exclusive privileges of the prop
erty about the lake.
Negotiations by the Everett-Moore
syndicate for the purchase of the Can
ton and Massillon Electric company's
lines continue steadily, and 1t is be-
lieyed the deal will be closed soon,
and the negotiations have been in pro-
gress, "off and on" for a year.

But that which makes this case pecu-
LARRY interesting and unique. is the
fact that. for all that has thus far de-
vcloncd. the State must depend entirely
upon CirCUmStantidl evidence. The
murder was committed in the solitude
Of the forests, the body was not found
for weeks afterwards, and no human
cy" could have Witnessed the crime.
THAT Il murder was committed is not
questioned. as the wounds could NOT
have been self-nfictrd. but if the mu,-
d-rer is cunI icted, the verdict will ~
based upon evidence purely circum-
stdrtial in its nature.
The state is fully confident that the
respondent is the guilty party. and
claims to have ample proof 10 satisfy
til" most obstinate jury. The accused
still stoutiy maintains his innocence
and declares himself 10 be a prosecuted
man.
The length of the trial is purely 4
matter Of conjecture, but il is evident
that unless unexpected developments
arise. il will occupy nj least 10 days.
The list OF witnesses summoned is kept
secret. but it is known to be long one
The counsel on both sides have been
diligently preparing for some time past
ana every witness will be thoroughly
Intercepted.
The seating capacity of the court
room will be sadly tried. AS the room
is altogether too small TO accommodate
much Of an audience.
Court viii convene Immediately on
the arrival of the 10 80 train in the
morning. The imranelling Of 4 jury
will doubtless occupy the entire morn
