BEATEN TO DEATH.
Witnesses in johnson Murder Case Tell
of Mary Kimbalrs Terrible End.

The trial of Fred Johnson. charged
with the murder of Mary Kimball, will
occupy all the time of the district
court this afternoon, and part of to-
morrow. The trial began late Monday
afternoon, owing to the shortage of
jurors which necessitated the drawing
of a special venire just before noon
Monday. The trial has not reached
the close of the states evidence.
1t is the intention of the state to
prove that on the evening of October
II, 1907, Fred johnson kicked and beat
Mary Kimball, a dissolute woman with
whom he was living at 903 East Sixth
avenue, and that it was from the eff
fects of this assault that the woman
died half an hour later in the presence
of DR.. H. H. Keith the coroner 1t will
be shown that both the defendant and
drunkards, or white horse fiends. -
and drank alcohol exclusively, and
that a short time before the death of
Mary Kimball she and the defendant
had raised money by selling some milk
bottles, and then gone to a drug store
on East Fourth street to purchase al
cohoL
DIR. Keith was the first witness, and
the best witness for the state. He
had treated the woman for a disease
a year or more before the killing, and
had forgotten her when, on the even
ing of October II, about o'clock, he
was called by telephone, and a wom-
ans voice made this statement over
the wire:
Come over here-Im dying-903 East
Sixth
Without knowing the name of the
person who. called, DR.. Keith ran to
his automobile and hurried to the adj
dress given. There he found Mrs. Kim
ball in dying condition, and took her
dying statement to the effect that she
had been beaten to death by her lover,
johnson. Realizing that the woman
was seriously injured, DR.. Keith called
in the first passer-by, who chanced to
be Ole Jones, a resident of East To-
peka Jones heard the dying state
ment of the woman, and followed Dr.
Keith on the stand last evening.
The principal witness today, although
several were heard, was DR.. o. A. Ban
del, now practicing in St. Joseph, Mo-,
but at the time of this tragedy, prac-
conducted the autopsy ordered by the
coroner, and made an examination OF
the dead womans body. He testified
that the examination showed slight
hemorrhage of the windpipe, such as
might be caused by. choking, and
bruises on the side, which resulted in
internal hemorrhage sufficient to cause
death.
The defense, which will be opened
some time this evening, in all proba-
bility, will attempt to show by phys1--
clans that the woman was in poor
health, and that Johnson's story might
he possible. The defendant claims that
the woman, regardless of her dying
statement, died as the result OF an in
iury occasioned by falling over wash
tub.

Negroes Filled the Galleries.
Washington, April 14.-Seldom if
ever has the capitol contained as many
negroes as today. They were attracted
by the announcement of Senator For
aker's speech in defense of the negro
soldiers, who were discharged by the
president on account of the Browns
vile riot. AS soon as the senate's pub
lie galleries became available the ne
groes crowded into them until all
space to which admission cards are not
necessary was occupied.
Long before the senate opened every
seat had been taken and the corridors
contained almost enough people to re-
fill the galleries.

BASEBALL

Without injecting any ginger into the game and by failing to hit the pug zling curves of that big red headed box artist from Benton county-McAdams the Pine Knots lost another game yesterday afternoon at Forest Park to the Shamrocks from Argenta. The score was to ?. Every one of the runs secured by the visitors were earned for Reese's men worked their bats over time and came very near knocking Harry Nickens out of the box.
 Up to the ninth inning McAdams held the home lads down to one hit, which came from the bat of Carl Ware in the first inning. Not until the ninth did the locals get man to second base and had it not been for the wildness Of McAdams in that inn ing and the boobies of his team mates, the Pine Bluffians would not have had a run to their credit.
 
 throughout the game and had blanked the home boys, but in the ninth inn ing when Gfroerer's grounder was fumbled by Reese at second, the fans went after McAdams and set him crazy for few seconds. He had pre- viously given Dudley Lewis, who bat ted for Clayton, four bad ones and Pitcher Rube Walters, who was sent in to bat for Nickens, had famed. Berry sent one into left garden and Lewis went home with the first run for the home club, after reaching sec ond on Reese's error Ware knocked one down to Ward at third, and he fumbled. Ollie went home during the excitement and, after he and Berry had gone to third and second on q passed ball. Big Liz" Taylor made the fans sad by striking out and Lee Hawkins met he same fate, being thrown out at first by Ward, while Berry was hurrying home with the run that would have tied the score,
 The visitors played brilliant ball Ward and Michael sharing the honor> for fast work on the infield. Brom- ley s batting was a feature, securing four hits, two of which were q two bagger and a three-sacker. The Shamrocks scored their first run in the fourth when Crimmins bingled 10 right-center, scoring Reese. Two sin gles and a double sent in the two runs in the fourth.
 The fans are greatly disappointed with the work of the local team for the past few games. The loyal ones declare that they will soon be knock CTS" if the Pine Knots do not wake up with the stick and get some ginger into the game. Their batting has disappeared almost entirely and the once reliable hitters are now failing to get in some stick work. This has been the failing of the team all sum- mer. Weakness at the bat has been their most noticeable shorteoming. Manager Berry ought to look out for two or three hard hitting players. The team needs to be strengthened at the bat
