something like that, and that we could
get on front porch and watch 1t as It

he married Mrs. Schroeder. After
the lapse of many months he was in
dicted for having murdered Schroeder
in order that he might marry the
widow and secure the Schroeder for
tune.
Part of the evidence against Rocker
was given by a man who claimed te
have heard Rocker relate CHASTITY
details while talking in his sleep.
The Iowa supreme court held that
this evidence should not nave been
admitted.
The state claims to have secured
new and important evidence against
