FOR DOUBLE MURDER
Is Convicted at sturgis,
S. D., and Will Hang. :--

sTURGIs, S. D.-The case against Ernest
Loyeswar closed last night at IL o'clock. He
was charged with the murder of George Puck
and George Ostrander. and was found guilty
and given the death sentence.
The case has been on trial Ave days and was
prosecuted by ]. H. McClung, states attor-
ney, and Wesley A. Stuart. James McNenny
and M. McMahon defended.
To the surprise Of all. the defendant went
unon the stand in his own defense, but before
leaving It made sufficient admissions to con-
yict him. though he attempted to deny the
confession.
The most novel theory ever interposed In a
criminal trial was put forward my LovesWar'f
attorneys The defendant swore that DR.
McSloy. the coroner took him into the sher"
IFS office; that the doctor placed his knees
against those Of defendant and kept looking
him so intently in the eyes that he said any
thing and everything the doctor wanted hlH
to. ..
The theory argued by the defendants attor'
news was that the doctor by hypnotic power
and the power Of suggestion made hlm CONFESS
to a false statement of facts This theory was
pretty we'll destroyed. however, when the de-
fendant admitted thht""h he told the doctor
where the revolver. Of Puck had been con-
cealed by him after numbering the man, al
the doctor knew nothing Of that and oou!c
hardly suggest it hypnotically

amount far in excess OF anything known in

many fields that cannot be harvested by ma

This condition as to oats and other small
grains applies to high lands as we'll as low
