STATES WITNESSES
 ON THE STAND. Testimony Taken Tn Rufus Johnson Murder Case Statement of At
 torneys Made Saturday Afternoon. When the twelfth member of the ] jury, which is to pass upon the guilt of Rufus Johnson for the killing of James Cole, was secured Saturday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock, the trial, which has been delayed by several unavoidable incidents, proceeded in a more decisive manner.
 The indictment for murder in the first degree was read by the state's attorneys to the jury and following this came review of the case from the standpoint of the prosecution and defense, outlining what each expected to prove in the evidence about to be 1 introduced.
 Court then adjourned to Monday morning at 8:30 o'clock, when pro- ceedings in the case were resumed. J. c. BALL TEsT1FIEs. 1 The first witness called was J. 0. Ball, who affirmed that he knew both Rufus Johnson and James Cole, the latter of whom was killed by gunshot wound at the hands of Rufus Johnson on May 10th at the gate of Ben Thomas in the Richwoods township. I Witness stated that two shots were fired about seconds apart and that Cole died almost instantly. After Cole fell Johnson came forward from brush with 32 winchester and after l inquiring if Cole was dead, told Ball to turn him over, which Ball refused to do prior to inquest, but Johnson then affirmed that he killed Cole and didn't deny it.
 Witness estimated distance from Johnson to Cole at time of shooting at 35 yards. Stated that Johnson said he knew where to find Cole, as his wife was at Ben Thomas and that he I (Johnson) had seen them going over, but had no chance to shoot without endangering life of Constable Ball. | Attorneys for defendant had no questions for witness and he was ex- cused.
 DIR. G. A. CAUsEY. l pr. G. A. Causey, living at Balch at time of killing of James Cole, stated that he knew parties to the killing Examined Cole on night of May 10th; found one wound on right side and another under left arm and third upon left arm. In his opinion the ball had entered the right side and passed out beneath the left arm. Witness stated that Cole died of gunshot wonnd.
 On cross examination, witness stated that Cole had been deao some time when examination was made and also that he was not in position to say whether ball would be de- fiected upwards or downwards at the point where the ball entered Cole.
 The state then rested it's case and the defense called for it's first witness.
 STEPHEN DENNIS.
 Stephen Dennis stated he knew both Cole and Johnson; had a con- versation with former at Mr. Crory's about two years ago in regard to Johnson. The state's attorney ob- jected to relation of this conversa- tion, which was overruled by the court. Cole in this conversation, said he had it in for Rufus Johnson and aimed to get shed of him one way or another.
 On cross examination, witness stated that he first retold this conver- sation to his father about two years ago, but had never testified in the preliminary hearing of Johnson. VAIN DALE.

sisters show for one another is strong
too. My experience has led me to be-
lieve that Yankee brothers and sisters
fight among themselves a great deal
more than less, but I've yet to
see children of the same family
here in a squabble. On the other
hand, they're continually looking after
and comforting one another by their
words of endearment, whatever they
may be. It's good to see mite of a
girl go up to brother, twice her size,
who has been pummeled by another
boy, and try to put her arms around
his neck, struggle to kiss him and
comfort him with her lisping talk. And
the way the brother is transformed in
to a regular little devil when some
one has hurt a sister-Lord, if l didn't
step in, l do believe he'd try to kill
the other fellow. The boys, too, are
what you might call chivalrous. I've
seen more than one lad relieve his
mother of her bundles, but you never
see. a husband offer to do such
thing.
Nursery Songs in Many Tongues.
ION the whole I've found that these
adopted babies and children are just
like our own boys and girls in many
respects-just as noisy all the day
long, just as full of life, just as mis-
cnleVouS, Just as entertaining, ana
often just as deserving of taddy-
whackings. And, Lordy, they're just
as eager to stay up as long as the older
folks, too. This is the day room, the
women and children sleeping in a big
barracks upstairs, and the men in still
another barracks. When we take the
women up there for the night, the
boys and girls plead with their moth
ers to be allowed to stay up and they

So the mothers take up the babies in
