great company of elephants Is so
novel, so original and so varied that
1t would be more simple task to de-
scribe what they do not do
than to enumerate the marvellous
things they actually accom-

that these animals are not merely
trained elephants. They are veritabie
animal actqks. exhibiting the same

artistic sense of the propriety of

pugilistic encounters, organize them

Monday morning at the opening OF

who are counsel for Frank Saunier,
argued a motion for a new trial before
Judge McCarty. Their claim was that
the jury that found their client guilty
Friday of burglary and larceny, had
dcne so on insufficient evidence.
In passing upon the motion Judge Nc.
Carty stated that he did not care to
disturb the verdict of the jury He
said that there were some things that
he thought had Influenced the jury
One vas that when the hat claimed
TO be Saunier's, which was found in the
wareroom the next morning after the
stealing had been done. was placed up
On the prisoners head, he involuntarily
shrank from il. The hat fitted him
and he had no doubt il was his. He
said that in trying to prove an alibi
lie was compelled to bring into court
women of questionable character. II
would not give a cent for the testimony
of a woman who admitted that she had
been found guilty of consOrting with a
negro. This young man has not been

trial"
Saunier was then brought into court
by Deputy Sheriff Zaiser. and he was
given an opportunity to say why sen
tence should not be passed upon him.
He said:
"AIl want to say is that am going
TO be sentenced for something that
I did not do
The Judge then asked him how old
he was. and when he learned that he
was % years Of age, he sentenced him
to the Ohio state refOrmatory at Mans.

GIRLS STATEMENT.

The statement of the young girl.
Flora Stahl. who is about % years Of
age, was almost identical with the
statement of Christina Stahl.
The men wore masks made of dark
cloth which were worn Just below the
eyes and covered the entire lower po:-
tion of the face, nothing but the eyes
being seen. The pitcher which one OF
the men threw at Christian Stahl was a
very heavy one and was broken into
thousands of pieces.
The house where the murder was
committed is a two story frame build
ing, a very nice and comfortable farm
house. 1t is very nicely furnished in
side, and the general appearance oi
the house indicates that the family
was very comfortable and well to do.
The old gentleman had two sisters
and one brother, Christina, who lived
with him, Mrs. Catherine Hess, of Mas
sill0n. and J. Andrew Stahl, Of Ma
yaFre.

walking down the railroad track from

murder occurred ani met two men who
answer, in a general way, the descrip-
tion given by the Stahls. He spoke to
them. but they hurried past without a
word
About a week ago Miss Stahl heard

She said nothing about IL. Her broth
er told a neighbor that he had heard

nothing to his sister. 1t Is thought
they had long contemplated the JOB
