Unlocked For Developments Pre-

STATE EMPLOYS

Embezzlemsnt Charge Will Come
First.
Special to Times Republican.


Webster City, Sept. 7.-sensational
developments are promised by the
state in the forthcoming trial OF
George McKown on charges of arson
and embezzlement- Attorney A. N.
Boeye, of this city, has been ap-
; pointed by the board Of supervisors
Of Hamilton county. to assist County
Attorney Porter in the prosecution.
/ It Is understood that when the
I question OF employing additional
counsel to assist in the prosecution
OF McKcwn first arose, the board
was not in favor Of the county's TAX
inE this action. It felt that II any
attorney other than the county had
: hand Ia the prosecution. he should
! Be employed and compensated by
those persons who have been partic-
], ula-ly d,sirious that McKown be
brought back and placed on trial 1or
his altered crimes four years ago.
However the board has changed It's
pSaoSSA - ASN'SSs
ploying ldr. Boeye.
AS yet the public has little notion
OF the interesting developments OF
this case and Of the surprises which
will be sprung between this time
Aand the time when the case Is finished
up in the district court. The prose-
cution is not inclined to discuss the
case and while the defense talks much
It says little.
The most interesting information
10 be secured from the defense is
that there is q probability of its FL
ing q demurrer to the indictments
on the grounds that it places Nc
kown on trial for q crime which the
charging part Of the Indictment does
not indicate he committed. The caption
crime OF larceny by embezzlement;
but, says the defense, the facts set out
in the charging part Of the Indictment
do not charge larceny by embezzie-
ment,> but the obtaining OF money un-
der false pretenses. Should the court
sustain the demurrer Of the defense,
the effect would be the dismissal OF
the case against McKown. There
would then remain against him only
the charge Of arson and there is grave
doubt that there Is sufficient evidence
10 convict the man on that charge.
\ saSIcKown's case Of enlbezzlement
probably will come on for trial the
second week OF the September term
Of court. This is 9 matter that has
not been definitely decided. how

no protection under the American

dramatic scene in justice court here.
Punt had been arrested for using pro-

caused ripple of amusement.
Then Mr.. Punt delivered an Grafton
on his past life and ended UP by say
ing that the horn that his neighbors

be something doing again. He likened
it to cussing machine, and his imi-
tation of the noise it made nearly
frightened the audience.
After he had Gained down a little
