Hitohcock's nervousness increased
hourly as the day wore on. Those who
are following the trial would not bs
surprised to see him collapse before
the case goes to the jury. He was
never still for a moment to-day. HIS
fingers trembled visibly as they rum
pied his long yellow hair or fingered
about his thin lips. And he bit ais
nails in a way that recalled Harry
Thaw on the grill.
1t is understood that the defense
has altered it's first plan and will
now rely largely on an abb to save the
accused musical comedy star.
AS soon as Helen Van Hagan had
taken the witness chair. where she sat
cool and self-possessed, Mr.. Garvan
said he had concluded his examination
in chief and turned the girl over to tho
other side. John B. Stanchfield took
her in hand.

Obituary.

Angeline Carpenter was born in Or
wall, N Y, November 25, 1923. She
was married to Madison Taft, Dec. 25,
1852, at Jonesville, Mich. In 1855 she
moved with her husband to GAINESVILLE,
Wisconsin, and two years later, March
9, 1857, came with him to make home
in Albion township. She soon united
with the Methodist church of New
Oregon and has been consistent and
faithful member of that denomination
for nearly fifty years. In recent years
she has made her home in Cresco. For
long time Mrs. Taft was afflicted
with asthma, but her condition was not
considered serious until few days
ago. She passed away at ten o'clock
Friday night, Aug. %, 1908, and her
sudden death was a great shock to her
friends and the whole community. Mrs.
Taft leaves to mourn her loss, of her
own immediate family, her husband
and two children, Mr.. Edgar Taft of
Albion tow nship and Mrs. Mary Ellen
Mason of this city, and also three
grandchildren and one great-grand
child. A third child died in infancy.
She was member of a family that
was very prominent in the early his
tory of Howard county. Her only
brother, who was employed in the pos
tai service was frozen to death in one
of the severe winters of that early
time; a sister, Mrs. Maria Nichols died
during the civil war, another sister,
Mrs. Darrow, has recently passed
away and three other sisters, Mrs.
Sarah Patterson, Mrs. M. j. Nichols
and Mrs. j. B. Mitchell survive to
mourn her departure. She was mem
ber of the w. R. C. and had a wide
circle of friends in the city. The sym
pathy of the whole community goes to
her husband in his deep affliction.
The funeral was held in the M. E.
church Sunday afternoon o'clock
and she was buried in New Oregon.
Owing to the absence of Mr.. Gammons,
Mr.. Hinman conducted the services.
