TO any OF his family, turned his back

Throughout the brief proceedings she
sat in an attitude Of extreme detection.
Charles Kaufman, the son, burst into
tears, and Mr.. Kaufman, who had so
nobly stood by his wife during her
great trouble, was utterly crushed.
Immediately upon the returning of
the verdict counsel for Mrs. Kaufman
gave notice that a new trial would be
applied for. This will be argued before
Judge Smith at Yankton on October 10.
Judge Smith fixed October II next at
2 o'clock as the time for pronouncing
sentence upon Mrs. Kaufman in the
event that the application for a new
trial Is denied. The bond Of $4,000 fur

Guiding at 3:37 o'clock, at which time

iffs. The charge of Judge Smith was
one of the most thorough as we'll as one
of the fairest ever made by a circuit

Importance of the case 1t was very ex-
haustive, and If put in print in it's en-
tirety would fill from four to five col

So great was the interest in the clos
ing argument of Attorney Egan that

Jdella 8. Uhlers on an insanity charge.

couple wedding present.
Saturday morning she went to the
Hainer home, which had already been
decorated for the coming event, de-
manded back the present and raised
such storm of protest that the son
sought the insanity commission to get
her out OF the way. She is said to

took OCCASION, to thank the people OF
Flandreau forteheir courtesy during the
trying hours Of the trial.
The demonstrations made during the
early days of the trial were the result
Of thoughtlessness on the part Of the

out the injury that might be done by
thoughtless demonstrations in the court
room the spectators realized the force
of his request, and after that time there
was not the slightest cause for COM
