Damnina Testimony.

John Bruner. a farmer residing near
Bristol. testified that he saw Hale
hold The girl and pour whiskey down
her throat several times shortly be
fore she was found dying. and that he
made desperate attempt to assault
her. He was sustained by number
OF other witnesses.
Hale was indicted on two charges,
criminal assault and murder, and is
now being tried on the latter.
No Eye-witnesses.
There were no cye-witnesses to the
girls death ana for this reason the
evidence against Hale is all circum-
stantial.
Dozens of witnesses told of having
seen him abuse and whip the girl
shortly before her death and several
little children saw him practically
force her into the cemetery where he
says she committed suicide with his
pistol while between sobs she pleaded
with him to allow her to go home.
Blow to Defense.
NJ. NJ. Coyd, who was first to reaca
the dying girl, stated that she was un-
conscious when he arrived and made
no statement. This came MS a blow
TO the defense. who ii is said expected
his testimony to point to the suicide
theory.
