Such business methods did not seem to
favorably impress the jury. John
Schmidt always had reputation
among his friends for absolute honesty,
but they do not approve of his theory
that all persons are equally honest, and
believe that he has been trimmed"
while under the influence of liquor.
1t was made plain by Schmidt's testi-
mony that he held his brother and
sister-in-law responsible for many of
his troubles. In his graphic way he
told of his love affair with a young
woman which had been broken up by
the interference of Mrs. All Schmidt
by suggestions of scandal.
Schmidt expressed surprise and sor-
row over the fact that some of his
friends had testified to having seen
him under the influence of liquor, and
vigorously denied the allegation that he
was drunkard.
Judge Schoch has taken the appoint
ment of a guardian under advisement
and will confer with Schmidt'S attor-
ney and nearest friends before making
the appointment

The piece de resis-tong'' of the after
noon was the testimony of Schmidt
himself. For many years he has been
admired by a circle of friends for his
ability to throw and hog-tie the Eng
fish language. His vocabulary con-
tains many words of impromptu con-
struction which defy repetition or re-
production in print. He desired to

that end, disregarded the questions of
attorneys, and told his story in his
own words. He went back to the be-
ginning, and told a story which visibly
affected the jury and spectators. He
detailed many fallingS-out with his
brother Al and Mrs. Al. and of the ILL
ness which had forced him to spend a
lot of money in travel and medical
treatment. He intimated that he had
not spent all the money which was
paid him by his brother, but had it in
