Before the defense rested its case IL
made an effort to impeact the evidence
of John knarr. engineer at the mill, by
trying to show that he made state
ment irreconcilable with the rest OF the

dUced some chera cter witnesses and also
offered the testimony of L. p. Fodrea,

1t is believed by some that the chain
o. circunistantial evidence is not as
strong as was expected before the trial.
On the other hand. it is Conceded that
the defense was exceedingly weak. But
few as Yet pretend 10 guess what the
verdict will be. The defense contended
that the testimony presented by the
State was insufficient to overcome the
presumption of innocence to which the
defendant is entitled
He said the defense proved by the
States own testimony that ne was not

make it a transaction of one person and
under the law the State must establish
