Of course, have become deeply interested in
this remarkable case and many have their
opinions, but the great majority have sus-

the state and defense The jurymen are all
men of unquestioned character and of high
standing in their localities. and whatever
their verdict, It will be accepted and ap-
proved by those who are closely following
the case.
The report has been circulated in some
quarters that United States Senator kit
ridge of Sioux Falls has been retained by
the defense and will be associated with the
attorneys of Mrs. Kaufman during the
remainder OF the trial This rumor doubt
less grew out of the fact that Senator Kilt
