M'KAY GETS A SHORT TERM
Judge ut onawa OverruIe~ the Mo-
tIon for n New Trial in
His Case.

ONAwA, Ia. Feb. 23.-(Special.) )-The
Monona county district court convened at
2 p. m. After routine matters had been
disposed OF. George w. Argo of Sioux City
proceeded with an argument on the motion
for a new trial in the case of the State
against Rev. c. B. Mckay OF Mapleton,
convicted of assault upon Ida Kraft, a
minor child, whom he afterwards married.
Argo spoke about thirty minutes and cited
many authorities, particularly the Mime
sofa case in regard to a wife tes,lfying
against her husband but Judge Wakefield
overruled the motion and after summing
up the case sentenced Mckay to serve two
and one-half years at Anamosa, the appeal
bond to be fixed at S2,500.
This closes for the present one of the
most sensational cases ever tried in Monona
county. The interest has been intense from
start to close, the court room being
crowded today. McKay's attorneys say
they will take an appeal to the supreme
court. The sentence is generally regarded
as rather light, but there are many ex-
tenuating circumstances,

County Attorney George Clammer OF War
rem county opened the argument In the

her breast and she sits greatly encouraged
even while the states counsel is dwelling
at length upon the horrors of the awful
