KAUFMAN MURDER TRIAL
Expert Evidence introduced Is DAM
aaina to the Defense.

Flandreau, S. d., June 1.-TWO spe.
cialists in mental and nervous dis
eases on the witness stand in the
murder trial of Mrs. Kaufman swore
TO their belief that Agnes Polres.
servant of Mrs. Kaufman, came to
her death by blows on the head and
body.
Upon the submission of these start
ling assertions, the state rested its
case.
DR.. Arthur Sweeney of st. Paul, a
specialist in nervous diseases, minute.
ly described the result of micro.
scopic examination OF the brain of the
dead girl. He found it healthy.
What, in your opinion, caused the
death of Agnes Polreis?" asked coun.
sci.
"The existence of the wounds on
the head and body were sufficient to
have caused her DEATH" was the re-
ply.
The witness said he believed the
blood clot found on the brain had been
caused by blows on the skull with a
dull instrument
DR.. Frank E. Coulter of Omaha, a
specialist in mental and nervous dis
eases, said the girls death was due
to hemorrhages of the brain and that
the hemorrhages were caused by ex-
ternal violence.
When court reconvened large
crowd was present. anticipating that
the defense would begin to outline
its case, but Attorney George B. Egan,
for the prosecution, announced that a
contingency had arisen which made 1t
necessary to offer further testimony
en- behalf of the state. Mr.. Egan care
fully withheld information as to the
nature of the contingency.

made by Mr.. Cannon, but by repub-

many evidences that there will be a
strong demand in the next convention
for revision of the tariff with the
adoption of the principle of a maximum
and minimum tariff. The only body in
the world authorized to determine this
question will be the next republican
convention.
"Just what the tariff plank will be
must be settled by the delegates them
selves. That 1t will be based upon the
principle of protection no one who is
familiar with the history of the party
can doubt. If that convention shall de-
clare for revision, with the maximum

doubt that Cannon, if nominated and

policy in the utmost good faith? With
