Is a Question: Of Importance in the Da-
Wis County Murder case-Joshua
Robinson Testifies to Hearing Voices
in Whistler Barn the Night Frank
ogden Was Killed.

Bloomfield, March 24.-(SpeciaD -
Slowly and with great care, the story
of the tragedy that occurred at the
home of Claud Whistler on the night of
April l., 1905, is being drawn from the
witnesses in the murder case now on
trial here and put before the jury
which is to weigh the evidence and
decide Whisler's guilt or innocence OF
taking the life of his neighbor, Frank
Ogden. The state has introduced wit
inesses to show when and how the
body was found and In what condition
1T was at the time of its discovery by
the searching party which was organ

PENDANT, was called to the stand as
the states third witness. He created
good impression upon the spectators,
being apparently anxious to tell the
exact truth in his testimony, although
summoned as witness against his
brother, He told of being present at
the homo of his father, Jacob Whistler,
on the night of April 1, 1905, when
Claud Whistler arrived from his own
home and told of his trouble with Og-
den. The witness was asked as to the
conversation between himself and his
father and Claud and said that the lat
ter had little to say about the shooting
at that time, not being sure even as to
whether mis- bullet had taken effect.
Whistler was questioned closely by
Attorney Taylor for the state and ad-
mitted, as his testimony at the prelim-
mary hearing showed, that Claud said
he had had trouble with Ogden and
thought perhaps he (Ogden) was hurt.
The witness said his father sent him,
with Burl Hull, brother-in-law, to
Claud's home to investigate the shoot
ing. Claud remained at the elder
Whisler's home.
In Whisler's cross examination he
told Of seeing wounds on Glands face,
which the defense will try to show
caused by Ogden during the fight pre-
ceding the shooting. The attempt to
introduce this testimony in cross ex.
animation was fought vigorously by
the states attorneys, but there efforts
were unavailing.
Everett Whistler developed into a
fairly good witness for the defense un
der Attorney Payne's cross examina
ton. He said that when he had re
turned to his fathers home after find
ing Ogden's body he told Claud Of
the discovery and asked Claud about
his trouble with Ogden. Claud told
the witness, according to the testi
mony, that Ogden had attacked him
and was Coming at him to fight
showed him wounds which he said hat
been made by Ogden.
4 On the redirect examination o.
Whistler Attorney Taylor attempted tt
show that the witness had talked witt
the attorneys for the defense since the
preliminary hearing and had injected
into his testimony for the present tria
the story Of a conversation which hi
says took place on the morning aftel
the killing and which the state wishe!
to prove has never been testified t.
previously. This, however, the wit
ness strongly denied, though admitting
that he had consulted with the attor
neys for the defense. The cross exam
ination brought out the statement b,
Everett Whistler that Claud had toll
him on Sunday, the day after tn
killing, that his trouble with Ogdel
took place on the kitchen porch. Thi
! is point for the defense, inasmucl
as the states theory is that the fight
! ing took place in the barn, where
is claimed that bloody belt stra
from Ogden's trousers was found.
Heard Voices in Barn.
Joshua Robinson was the next Wi
ness called by the state and testifie
to going through Whisler's yard on tn
{ night Ogden was killed. He said h
was enroute home from Bunch. H
: testified to hearing voices in Whistler

barn and that he recognized one OF
them as that of Claud Whistler, but
that he did not hear anything to indi-
cate that the men we're quarreling. He
also testified to returning to the Whis-
Ter place in company with Loren and
Ross Ogden and the location Of the
body in the road. His testimony In
that respect was practically the same
as that given by Mr. Shuck, the prin-
cipal new point brought out being
that Robinson was the one who un-
buttoned Ogden's coat and opened the
clothing SO as to locate the wound.

of the defense seems to be that the
bleeding of the wound was renewed
by the jolting Of the wagon and that
it was then that the blood coursed
downward towards the feet.
The Whisky Bottle.
The defense yesterday announced
that it will try to prove by the testi-:
mony that Ogden was intoxicated on
the night of the shooting and that he
had bottle Of whisky with him when
he came to Whisler's home and pre-
sumably when he was shot. This bot
tie cannot be accounted for except by
broken pieces which some of the wit
nesses picked up and which, accord
ing to the evidence at the preliminary
hearing, bore an old, faded label. W.
'E. Hardman, the states second wit
ness, was put on the stand late yes
'terday afternoon, testified that he was
in the party which first discovered the
remains of Ogden lying on the ground
in the yard at the Whistler home. With
him were Everett Whistler and Burl
Hill, relatives Of the defendant, Josh
ua Robinson, neighbor, Loren Og-
den and Ross Ogden, brothers of the
deceased Hardman testified that
shortly after the discovery of the body
Loren Ogden picked up square bot.
tie, resembling quart whisky bottle,
and threw it away from the spot. 1t
had been lying near the body, accord
ing to the testimony.
The remainder Of Hardman's testi.
mony was immaterial and consisted
largely in the Identification Of the
clothing that was worn by Ogden on
the night of the shooting. This was
done also by Mr. Shuck when on the
witness stand and the state succeeded
| in introducing the effects of the dead
man as exhibits in evidence, by put
ting Clerk Owens of the district court
upon the stand. The clothing and
other effects we're in the custody OF
Clerk Owens during the time between
the finding of the indictment and the
opening Of the trial.
Who Buttoned the Coat?
Much that is of Importance to the
state hinges on the buttoning of Og
dens coat. The state will try tt
prove that when the body was found
one button of the coat was fastened
and that the bullet hole in the coa1
does not correspond with the location
of the wound in the body. Witness
shuck testified that when he frs
saw the body 1t was covered with {
blanket and that when the blanke
was removed the second button O
the coat was fastened. Whether this
was done by Ogden before his deatt
or by some one else afterward will
help to decide the fate of Claude
Whistler.

or, district details of the. strike will be
left In the hands of the local officials
and executive committees.
Predictions of the operators varied
from statement that the strike, il it
comes, will not last more than thirty
days to other estimates that it will
continue throughout the summer.
Nobody can tell in advance how
great or how long the strike will be, "
said S. F. Chapman Of the Ohio opera
tors. "That will depend much upon
the temper of the miners and also up
on the resources which the union may
be able to gather"

ottumwa Goal Operator Expects

OttumWd Sodi operator Expects d
stoppase Of Work in All Mines.
"As far as can see a strike is Ger.
tain" said a prominent local coal man
to representative of the Courier this
morning "The operators throughout
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois have hun
dreds of cars of coal on track or
stored, which it is to their interest to
sell before any settlement is made.
eff settlement should be made
now, with all of this coal on hand,
coal would not bring enough to pay
the freight, let alone anything else.
They must first sell this coal before
they will make any settlement, even
though they are willing TO pay the
price demanded by the miners for
their labor. ~
"To settle now with all Of the sur
plus coal that is now in the market
would knock the bottom completely
out of the price of coal and these ope-
rators simply can not afford to settle
They know that they can settle at any
time they are willing to allow the de-
manded increase and they will hold
off until this supply has been sold at
good prices, at any rate. T
"The condition does not apply to
Iowa, Missouri or Kansas. There is a
decided shortage of coal in these, three
states due principally to the fact that
the southwestern railroads have been
taking all the coal that they could get.
But it is the operators in Illinois, Ohio
and Indiana that have. to say in the
indianapolis conference.
Gwen though the Pennsylvania OPP
orators are, willing to settle, do not
believe. that the miners will allow
them to go to work in Pennsylvania,
if there is a strike in the other states,
as this would be most dangerous
thing to do, since 1 believe that it
would threaten the solidity of the min
ers' organization
Wabash Shops Storing Coal.
According to Wabash employees the
Wabash railroad has ordered the stor-
ing of coal discontinued at Moulton
and probably also at Moberly.
1t is said that orders we're received
in Moulton yesterday to stop unload
ing the coal, that was in the cars held
for the purpose of storing. Two cars
were partially ,inloaded but even these
were ordered left as they were. This
is taken by the employees to mean that
the railroad company has reason to
lieye that the danger of strike Is
over.

HARD FIGHT IN PROGRESS.

Ogden home, half mile or more, in
a farm wagon. The inference that
the defense would draw, evidently is
that the blood escaped from the wound
during the trip to the Ogden home and
that the bleeding prior to that time
had been internal. The states wit
nesses have testified to finding belt
strap from Ogden's trousers in the
Whistler barn and that this fragment
of cloth bore blood stains. They also
tell of finding button from his over
alls between the house and the barn.
Mute Witnesses of Orgy.
The defense. when it comes time to
introduce witnesses in Whislers be-
half, will bring out the details of the
supper at which it is claimed Ogden
acted in a drunken, disorderly man
ner. The table cloth showing the
stains of the tea he is said to have
spilled, the dirty dishes on which the
eggs were served, the very plate the
man used at the supper, will be intro
duced in evidence to support the tes-
timony that he scattered victuals all
over the table and floor. A chair with
which Whistler will claim Ogden tried
to brain him, with one round which
Whistler said he broke out in taking it
from Ogden, will be one of the ex-
hibits, The bullet that ended Ogden's
life will, of course, be shown to the
jury. Half dried peach pie that was
served at the supper will be brought
to the court room. The defense will
attempt to show that Ogden insulted
Mrs Whistler during and after the
meal.
Searcher Eats Evidence.
It seems that. Mrs. Whistler baked a
pie especially for the supper that pre-.
ceded the tragedy At the meal only
one piece was eaten, that being taken
by Whistler himself The remainder
was left on the table, and the next
morning, when the searching party OF
neighborhood farmers was going
through the house, one of it's members
became hungry and ate second slice
of the pie. The attorneys for the de
tense promise to bring witness who
will testify to this, though they do not
say just what part that evidence will

The case is being hurried along now
and the examination and cross ex-
animation of the witnesses is being
conducted with all possible speed.
Some of the attorneys interested must
leave Bloomfield soon to attend court
at FIT. Madison, and an effort is being
made to finish the Whistler case before
the interruption occurs.
