duO SISlSI WHO were III dlIGQQdnC6.
Thirty-five witnesses were in
troduced in behalf of the state.
The testimony was along the lines
related at the preliminary and the
published reports at the time of
the tragedy. The testimony es-
tablished the fact that Patrick
King was killed at the old Kiowa
school house, five miles northwest
OF Kiowa, on the night of July 28th.
by Mark Morris Newton. The
weapon used was a neck-yoke.
Five blows were struck and the
skull was crushed. The body was
hauled to the Medicine river bridge,
one mile south of Medicine Lodge,
distance of seventeen miles from
the scene of the murder, land thrown
into the river at o'clock a. m.
Friday July 29th. The body was
discovered by Charley Adams at
about II o'clock a. m. the same
day while driving cattle across the
river. The Newton boys had been
seen going in southwesterly di-
rection early that morning by I.
w. Springer, jr., and Geo. w.
Heydenrich, and their action in
cleaning out their wagon excited
suspicion. Messrs. Springer and
Heydenrich reported what they
had seen to sheriff Haun, and the
sheriff and several deputies started
on their trail friday evening.
They captured the boys, Clark
Edward Newton and Mark Morris
Newton, that night at II o'clock,
on blackberry Creek twenty five
miles southwest of Medicine Lodge,
Morris confessed, but Clark denied
having any part in the crime.
The only relation of the murder
ed man who attended the trial was
the widow, Mrs. Patrick King.
The prisoners mother and sister
were also present.
The theory of the defense was
that the older defendant, Clark
Edward Newton, had no part in
the killing, that the fatal blows
were struck by Mark Morris New
ton, the younger one, under eX-
citement and that Clark had no
previous warning of his brother's S
intention. The plea Of insanity
was made N behalf of Morris. The
mother, Mrs. Ida Newton, testified
that there was insanity in the
family on her side. She said that
her mother was violently insane
before her death and that her
fathers only sister died while in
the last stages of insanity. Both
of them were dangerous and had
to be carefully guarded. She also
testified that Morris was temporar-
lily insane, that he was hurt when
nine years old by being thrown
from a wagon, his head cut badly
and the skull fractured. That
since that time he has often been
mentally unbalanced and did many
insane acts. The state introduced
DR.. 7. A. Coleman in rebuttal who
testified that he examined Morris
Newton soon after his imprison-
ment and found no symptoms of
insanity. The most damaging
circumstances against Clark were
the facts that the money belonging
to the murdered -$357.Io-
was found on him CLARK and that
he admitted hauling the body from
the scene of the murder to the
Medicine river.
The former good character Of
Clark was proved by Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis VanBuskirk and A. ]. Athey,
of Cleo, who were neighbors of the
Newton family.

WHERE YOU CAN
FIND THE POLICEMAN

The way the lanterns have been scat
tered along the street on account OF
the new crossings reminds one Of an
old Mexican town.
There each policeman carries Ian
tern. When he rests on street corner
he sets his lantern out in the center Of
the street Intersections. Then he re-
mains within easy call.
You can look down the main street
and BY the lanters locate every police-
man in the town. Its good scheme.

DR.. r. L. Weston folded his hard,

recognized by business men that time

wouldn't spend SO much time on his
back with "a thermometer in his
mouth. And, fguratively speaking, he
would be able to look. his liver in the

II recall one case, that of promin-
ent business man, whose recent trip
around the world furnished the Min
neapolis press with some readable
matter. He came to, me about two
years ago, with one arm partially
! paralyzed. He couldn't understand
why he should not be in perfect
condition, for. he had spent sixteen
years in regular attention to his BUSH
ness and had kept that arm crooked
on his desk all that time. Slangy
persons with weakness for ex-
travagant language have spoken OF
getting a cran1p in the arm from SO
often crooking it at the bar, but this
gentleman had no bad habits. In the
