IN WEBER TRIAL

BORED SPECTATOR
Efforts Of the Defense to Exclude
His Statement and Admission
of Bullet as Evidence Are
overruled
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
AUBURN, Feb. 1S.--1nterest in the
Weber trial seemed to wane today. The
defendant resumed his Indifferent man
ner ard evinced less interest than the
majority of those present. Only once
during the morning did he rouse him
self. leaning forward and watching
Witness Carr intently as he described
the results Of his experiments with
bullets.
Court Reporter Adams testified to
the statement offered by the prosecu-
ton. The defense claimed that the
prisoner was under restraint. and OBJ
iected to the admission of the state
ment as not voluntary. The objection
was overruled, the statement admit
ted, and Reporter Adams read his
notes. In the statement the defendant
claimed that he came around by the
high school and down College lane, and
it will be remembered that May Clark
testified that she saw him come down
Brewery lane. He claimed, also, that
he went into the piano room and car
ried out his brother.
The Bullet Produced
Howard Carr testified that the bull
let's fired from weapon rusted inside
would be marked by the, rust. He had
bullets fired from the unrusted pistol
from Peters cartridges. They were Of
fered in evidence and objected to on
the ground that they were not fired
from a pistol of like make and pattern
as the one found in the barn. The
objection was overruled and the bull
let's found in the bodies, the bullets
fred by Carr from the pistol found in
the barn and those fired from an un-
rusted pistol were passed to the jury
for comparison and examination.
DR.. ]. F. White was called this after
noon and shown the drawers, hat and
pants Adolph wore at the fire. He iden-
titled them and pronounced the stains
as blodstains, as ascertained by sew
eral tests.
It was expected that the defense
would consume much time in eXamin-
ing DR.. White but the latter answered
so promptly and showed such thor
ough acquaintance with his subject
that ten or fifteen minutes sufficed to
satisfy his questioner that the physi-
clan knew what he was talking about.

ing privileges in this section are face
to face with the era of higher prices.
The old leases, many of them, expire

about 8 cents per acre annually. Last
year some of the sports to obtain
leases, offered regular payment of
ten cents an acre and secured con-
tracts of course. Several who have
built expensive lodges and employ men
all the year round to look after their
preserves, have leases to expire, They

scale of prices to renew them One
man, who has 80, 900 acres pre-emted
