CASE in JURY'S HANDS
HAMPTON MURDER TRIAL BROUGHT
TO ITS LAST STAGE.
Considerable Impeachment of Testi-
mOny on Both Sides-Unpleasant
Setback for the Defense.
scial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Sept 14.-The
seventh day of the Hampton murder trial
was the last. The jury got the case late
this evening after listening to six hours
of argument from the five attorneys VINO
were employed, three for the State and two
for the defense. The closing testimony
was confined to rebuttal and impeachment,
some of the most important statements
from witnesses of both sides, especially the
defense, being refuted by witnesses.
The defense attempted TO prove by a test
made at Coatesville the latter part OF the
next week that it was not possible for
Charlie Rice 10 have seen Hampton and
Haynes in the back door of the drug store
on the night of the assault on ..aynes
and for him to have heard the quarrel and
the noise of the blow and fall from where
he said he stood. but il was permitted to
introduce evidence on the noise proposition
only In this the defense was evidently
somewhat surprised, the witness in the
test practically sustaining Rice in mis- testi-
mony as to the possibilities of hearing what
he claimed
From the intricate nature of the evi>
dence submitted to it. it is probable that
the jury will be some time in reaching a
verdict

dearth of hands. as the crops are mostly

which requires only three or four days to
put in the shed. The tendency seems to
be toward raising smaller crops and tend
ing them better.

says he can buy all the good broom corn
he wants for $40 ton and also says indi-
cations are that the price will be no higher.
He says the crop in Oklahoma and Kan
