selves to Smallpox.

Independence, Kas, March 1.-THE
joint keepers of Coffeyville have resort
ed to a unique scheme to avoid going to
trial while the present temperance wave
is On. Recently the temperance element
of that place asserted itself and closed
1p the Joints All the proprietOrs were
arrested and their cases were set for
trial this week in the district court.
The temperance agitation is still red
hot and. rather than face the jury at
this time. they deliberately exposed
themselves to smallpox and had them
selves ouaraptined. The attorneys for
the state rendered no objections when a
continuance was asked for and the
cases went over. They viii be tried at

Defense of Harris Begins Today
Prisoner Plays Insane.

Prisoner Plays Insane.
Burlington, Kas., March 1.-THE pros
ecution in the Harris murder case has
rested after making a strong case. Har-
riS continues to act as though stupid
but shows that ne is interested in what
transpires.
The states witnesses testified to fol-
lowing tracks from the scene of the
murder to Harris home; that Harris
shoes fitted lin the tracks and that his
gun was filled with mud. They testified
that Harris repeatedly confessed that
he killed John Allen. the Ottumwa mer-
chant. by shooting him IN the breast
with a loaded shotgun and that Mrs
Allen, who was acquitted because he re-
fused to testify against her. helped plan
and execute the murder
John Hail. janitor of the jail, Sheriff
Green and Detective Weber all testified
that Harris confessed TO being intimate
with Mrs Allen for years and that he
was much in love with her, and that
Mr.. Allen was to blame for it all by
testified that Harris said to him that
Allen had once tried to assault Mrs.
Chrisman, Harris mother. 1t was also
brought out that Harris had been adj
vised to play insane, as that was his
only hope of escaping a life sentence,
and that Harris had practiced his in
sanity in the Jail Last week Harris
went five days without eating and this
week he ate pills. The attorneys for the
defense tried to have the testimony con-
corning the confessions removed from
the consideration of the jury because
Deputy Sheriff Grennan had told Har-
riS it would be better for him to con-
fess it all and that he might get off easy
by so doing, but the court held that any
confession made to Grennan would not
be good but that those made to others
we're The defense will be begun today,
but has not been outlined.
