trict Attorney Husting declares that
unless Attorney Maurice McKenna,

commission to pass on Poole's sanity
before the trial is begun, he proposes

Poole be convicted and later found in

ton and report.
Mr.. Husting will have the assistance
of Attorney j. w. McCrory.

viding for the payment of a reward
of 500 to William Braatz Jr., of the
