Closely Watched.

Special to Times Republican.
Ccnterville. May 2S.-The states
testimony in the Junkin trial Will be
in today and the defense will be short
a strenuous fight resulted over the ad-
mission of the confession, which de-
but the state is confident of convic-
ton without 1t.
Junkin is in desperate mood and Is
watched constantly against attempts
suicide or escape. He is breaking down
and insanity due to the nervous strain
is feared, which would block the pros
ecution.
States Star Witness.
The states star witness connecting
Junkin with the murder was Jacob
Redman, the Ottumwa pawnbroker
Junkin came to his store Feb. 16, over
a week after the murder. and presented
the diamond, saying he had found It,
Redman knew who Junkin was as he
had had dealings with him several
times previously. Redman testified
that he knew of the murder, of the
loss of the diamond and he was con-
vinced at once that the gem Junkin
possessed belonged to Miss Rosen But
with the sagacity of pawnbroker he
proceeded to drive hard bargain with
the negro.
But Junkin would not be satisfied
with small sum and placed the ring
back in his mouth several times pre-
pairing to leave. But Redman would
not let him get away and finally gave
him IS for it and let him take suit
of clothes out of pawn. The next day
Redman called the police and turned
the stone over to them. He knew
Junkin was the man, for when the ne
gro signed the pawn slips before this
transaction he signed his true name
and when he took a receipt for the
diamond he signed the slip walter
| Davis" ~
All during the examination, Redman
with pardonable pride explained his
shrewdness in getting the diamond
from the negro. He frankly admitted
that he told the negro the stone was nc
good, we'll knowing that 1t was valu-
able. And in running the bluff he
called in his son who looked at the
stone, told his father in Hebrew that 1t
was fine gem, and then told Junkin
In English it was no good.
When Redman left the stand he
could not find his hat. He looked under
the chairs of the Jurors. under the
bench. where he had been sitting dur
Ing the day. then announced loudly tina
he could not find his hat. Some per-
son recovered 1t for him and Redman
started to leave On his way out, how
ever, he turned and bowed to the court
with polite good-by sending the au-
dience into fits of merriment. which
1t took Judge Roberts several minutes
to quiet. All proceedings were at a
standstill until Redman left.
One of the most important parts of
Redmans testimony was his statement
that Junkin kept the diamond in his
mouth. When asked why he did this.
Redman answered that 1T is a good
place to swallow it from"
