Was Accidental.

pied by the SIagels. I. E. Lambert, of

Tending and E. N. Connal is assisting
County Attorney Ganse in prosecuting.
The prosecution charges that Winner
tried to shoot Mrs. Slagel, who was
trying to prevent his entering the
kitchen, and that missing her, he shot
the babe Mrs. Slagel held in her arms.
The defense will be that the shooting
was accidental, that Winner did not try
to shoot Mrs. Slagel or the baby and
that he carried the revolver to protect
himself from Slagel. It required most
of the day to impanel a jury. The
regular panel was exhausted and a
special venire called. 1t is expected the
