the trial is that his mother claims
her name is Shoetrop and when she

Of Wedgewood and told her to use Il

a number of witnesses are being ex.
amined. Wedgewood is under arrest
on the charge Of striking his aged
mother and she is the chief witness
against him.
Mrs. Wedgewood took the witness
stand and told her story, which was
brought out by the questioning of the
prosecuting attorney. She stated
that on the It'll day of this month.
the day she made the complaint, she
was seated in her house, small one
in the rear Of the wedgewood home.
George Wedgewood, came in with
some meat and bread which he laid
on the table. She asked him if that
was for her, and he told her that il
was, and after looking at it she said
that she could not eat it as it was
tough and her teeth were poor.
WedgewoOd then told her to shut up
and when she told him she could not
eat it, he hit her ON the face. She
stated that she was not feeling we'll
and sat in the chair and cried; that
at this time he put his hand over her
mouth and struck her again, and the
marks on her face were made by his
hands; that her nose was bleeding as
a result Of the blow. She was asked
If she had been beaten previous 10

turned the hose ON her and told her
to run, but she was unable to do so

ting under a tree in a vacant lot the
day after the trouble, her son had
talked to her and had tried TO get her
TO go to his house and hare some beer
with his wife. but she had refused TO
do so. She said she had complained
OF not getting sufficient food on sew
eral occasions but that il was of no
avail, and it was not the fault of her
son as much as 1t was the fault of his
wife, and that she had gone hungry
for two days and at times she was de-
pendent on the neighbOrs.
The court adjourned last evening
to meet at ten o'clock this morning,
when George Wedgewood took the

learned that Stensland took with him
trunks and boxes, sheets and other

carpets, rugs and silver dinner set.
Some Of this Is said to have been
traced TO Baraboo, Wis. The large
trunk which Is being traced Is said to

COLLATERAL MISSING.
Chicago, Aug. 15. The belief that
large accounts Of collateral given as
security for notes in the Milwaukee
Avenue State bank have been stolen
practically became a certainty last
night when a note for 10000, known
to be genuine, was found i'm Presi-
dent Sensland's house at Byron street
and and LaWndale avenue. Search
was made for the collateral security,
but it could not be found.
The discovery opend up a field for
almost unlimited speculation as 20
how far the footing proceeded before
Stensland disappeared. II the real
estate and other securities In the hank
have been stolen OF found to be
worthless, the amount Of money left
TO pay the depositers probably will
be reduced to as low as % per cent.
