THE BUCK TRIAL
First Arsumen. Finished in Murder
Case at Newton and Court Adjourned
to Monday-s.nsational Statement by
Defendants Brother.

Special to Timey- Republican.
Newton, Dec. 24.-The first argu-
ments for the state in the Buck muir
der trial were furnished today and
court adjourned until 8 o'clock Monday
when the opening arguments for the
defense will begin. The closing argu-
ments Of the prosecution are expected
to be before the court and the case In
the hands Of thu, jury some time Mon
day afternoon.
Among witnesses for the examina-
ton today were DR.. Hoffman and Dr..
Fairchild. of Des Moines, experts in
mental difficulties. Both sWore that
in their opinion Buck is sane man.
Frank Buck, brother of the defendant.
was on the stand in surrebuttal OF the
testimony Of Dr.. Parmley. Parmley's $
evidence was to the effect that he was
Bucks attendant in Jail and had been
hired to assist him in feigning insan-
NV Parmley's business was to give
ont that Buck was unable to sleep
and convey the impression that ne was
violent and MOI; to be trusted alone.
Parmley testified in the trial that Buck
was sane and slept well. His brother
Frank Buck, i'm surrebuttal, swore
to an alleged conversation between
himself and Parmley in which Parmley
told him that If the Buck family would
nav him s25 he would testify for Buck
but that he could get more out OF the
Porters.
The outcome Of the case is doubtful
and at present looks like hung jury.

MISSIONARY MONEY
Foreign Board Spent s74a,sos Last
Year, an Increase-No Unusual Dis
turbances Abroad.

Boston. Dec. 24.-The annual report
Of the American board Of foreign mis-
sions contains many interesting fig
ures. The total amount Of disburse-
ments during the past year were $74S,-
3O3, an increase over the previous year
of s7,785. The excess of expenditures
above receipts was s22.737. The ten
dency of expenditures is upwards ev-
en- while the basis Of appropriations
for general work remains the same.
This year the increase was due largely
to new efforts to enlarge the cinstit-
uency thru young peoples DEPART
ment. The additions to the conditional
gifts fund were s71,426. the fund now
amounts to $462,2S3.
The regular work Of the Europe and
Turkey mission has been no less dis
turbed in the year under review than
for the last three years. In some re-
spects the disturbances have been more
critical. The Turkish villages suffer-
ed from depredations of insurgents
and the Christian villages from Tur-
kish troops.
The present prospect for political
quiet is more encouraging than year
