ment made by Mcdonald in the Blooming
ton Jail and written out by Detective Reed.
Mr.. Palmer objected to his telling what
was in the statement and after consider
able sparring by counsel the objection was
sustained 1t developed that the statement
in question. which had been handed TO Mr..
Smith by Detective Reed this morning, had
disappeared from his desk and could not
be found The croSs-examinatiOn of Sheriff
Smith by Mr. Palmer was very rigid.
Detective Reed was called about 4 o'clock,

his work on the case, the most important
part of which will be presented tomorrow.
The state may not close its case to-mor-
row, and, as the defense is likely to have
as many or nearly as many witnesses s
the state, and has Signified its intention to
use some of the states witnesses, the trial
probably will last through the greater part
of next week
