TIoN OF CASE YESTERDAY--IT
WILL PROBABLY co TO JURY
TODAY LOOKS BAD FOR HIM

TIILAM0oK. Ore, July 2s.--rhe
prosecution closed its case in the trial
OF A. J. Hembree, charged with the muir.
der OF his wife and l6-year-old daugh'
ter on the night of December % last.
in their home at Sand Lake, yesterday
evening. and the defense began the
presentation OF its case at the opening
Of the session today. The case viii prob
ably 20 to the jury this evening
Hembree may be placed on the stand
in his own defense before the close.
Cross-examinations by the defense at
yesterdays trial failed to break down
any Of the testimony given by the
states witnesses and their statements
made the case against Hembree stronger.
Drs. /. N. Smith and c. II. Upton testi-
fled that the bones were those OF human
beings, and that his opinion was the
skull of one OF the women had been
crushed before being placed in the stove.
The stove in which the bones were found
was presented as evidence in court.
Mrs. Hembree's brother.in- John
Lewellen. testified that the funeral was
attended by more than 100 persons, but
that Hembree did not 90, refusing to do
so, but sent his two sons.
James Atkinson, who viewed the
ruined house and the skeletons short
time after discovery, told of asking
Hembee why he had not extinguished
the flames, and il he heard no cries from
his family. Hembree replied that he had
not heard a sound, and that he used two
tubs OF water in vain endeavor to put
out the flames. Atkinson says two full
tubs of water were near the ruins. Hem
bree also told the witness that he knew
nothing of the bones or how they came
there in response to query.
The testimony Of Mrs. Allen Lewellen,
sister of Mrs. Hembree, showed that
Hembree sent his two small sons to her
home before the tragedy, which was
something very unusual for him to do.
