HIS SENTENCE NOT TOO SEVERE.
i twelve year sentence in the state
prison for the crime Of burglary appears
to be exceptionally heavy. but an under
standing Of the facts in connection with
the case 81 Adelbert Martin, who was
sentenced in Washington county court
yesterday, win show that the maximum
sentence was none too large The judge
was not Ienient with man who did not
deserve lenlency. And the consensus Of
puplic opinion in this neighborhood will
be that the sentence was none too severe.
Martin pleaded guilty to burglary, but
there is another charge against him even
more consequential, that Of murderously
assaultinga Mrs. stephen Tromblee Of
Mortified. TO that charge he has not
pleaded, and he probably win not be
called to DO, so.a However, il Is alleged,
and the state considers that It has strong
evidence substantiating the allegation,
that this man Martin entered the from
blee womau's house at night last septem-
Der, and beat her with a wooden club un-
til she became unconscious. For The
next few weeks Martin led the Washing

finally rounded up ID Manchester, M, af-

fact that be pleaded guilty to one Of the

Mrs. Rae Kranss, accused Of poi
souing her step-daughter at Hartford
City, Ind, has been bound " to the
October term Of court. The only time
IN the examination that she lost her
indifferent expression was when the
coroner read the note in which she Is
said TO have asked the druggist for 10
cents worth Of strychrine. Then she
laughed Lloyd Somerville, a 9-year-
old boy who says he bore the note,

State. His testimony could not be
shaken In cross-examination. The de-
Tense introduced no witnesses. Physi-
clans testified that the cause, of death
was strychnine poisoning and not ar
sentc, and that the bottle which the
defense represented as having been
found In the girls bed and as contain
ing arsenic bore no traces Of that poi
son The object of the defense was
to establish the theory Of suicide.
Coroner william A. Hollis declares
that new evidence has been secured
against Mrs. Krauss. When asked the
nature Of the evidence he refused to

say more than that 1t was the most
damaging and sensational of any yet
brought out.
It Is said the bottle found in Crys-
tails bed, which was thought to have
contained ~strychnine and was alleged
to have been put there by Mrs. Krauss,
has been found to have contained moth
ing but a harmless powder. 1t Is

not dressed in the manner described
By the boy, but that Crystal was SO

was not at home when the boy went to
the house with the milk.

ties large enough to kill, and her death
undoubtedly was due to its presence"
Dr. l. p. Drayer, of TT. Wayne, has
issued this statement after an analy-
sis Of the stomach Of Crystal Krauss.
In addition, Dr.. Drayer declared that
the bottle alleged to have been found
beneath the pillow Of the bed in which
the girl expired contained a half-tea-
spoonful of white arsenic. There were
no traces of this poison to be found In
the girls organs.

where they went through the BRIDGE
A cloudburst had filed the creek and
water was flowing over the trestle

bridge went down under the weight OF

across, but fell back into the water.
