ing murder on the morning Of thelr
wedding, June 3. IL was wholly a
surprise to the bridegroom and quite
a shock to the bride, but the defen-
dant soon arranged bond and the we'd
ding proceeded as II nothing out Of the
ordinary had happened TO maj the
occasion.
Before the marriage Mrs. Barnes
vas a Miss Ruth Lakenan, daughter

majority OF the voters Of this city are

Of the commonwealth, and has become
a national figure in that mission. The
people love him for the enemies he has
made. In ali these respects he pos
sesses vast advantages over every man

Special TO the Ledger.
Troy, Mo-, Oct. 20, $50 p. m.-The
evidence is now being taken in the
case of Clarence Barnes charged with
the killing of Rhodes Clay. The fea-
lures Of the days proceedings promi-
nent we're the statements of the at
torneys for the respective sides as to
what they will try to prove.
Mr.. Rodgers states the State case
briefly. Among many things he said
that the State would introduce evil
dence showing that MI. Barnes had
told Geo. Morris, in st. Louis, before
the tragedy, that be and Clay had
| had a difficulty and that If Clay made
any more moves toward him he would
kill him.
The State also contends that wher
they met In the Mexico postofice a
the time of the tragedy 40 u heart
them say a word except Mr.. Barne
said al don't want to talk to you
Then as Clay turned to go soutf
Barnes wheeled drew his revolver ami
began firing and Clay was killed.
I THE DEFENsE's CASE.
z. H. Cullen stated the defendant
case, he said they would proyebyoveI
whelming evidence thatft was purel
a case of self defense. He said tn
r evidence would show that Clay was
2 ouarrelsome fellow when drinking an
5 that he had been drinking the day
S the tragedy and that he was waitin
around the post Office to see Barne
and was carrying a pistol for him.
Cullen said that the uncontradicte
7. testimony would show that both sht
J. at the same time and the oyerwhe
ming testimony would show that Ola
: shot first. So the case goes to tri
under the respective sides.
