Herman Kretschmar's Trial.

From The Post-D Dispatch,
Herman A. Kretschmar, on the
stand in his own behalf Thursday
in Judge Shields court in his trial
for killing Clarence N, Jones, de-
olared in q trembling voice that
Jones was the best friend he ever
had and that~they were compan-
ions and chums from boyhood.
This testimony followed that of
"character witnesses''who testified
to Kretschmar's excellent reputa-
ton for integrity and peacea BILE
ness. They were Col. Moses Wet
more, Postmaster Frank Wyman,
r. w. Shapleigh, Arthur FL. Gale,
Philip j. Heuer, David Nicholson,
Capt. Joseph Boyce and Augustus
Berthold.
Capt. O'Mally, to whom Kretsch-
mar surrendered after the killing,
was not permitted to tell what state.
ment the slayer made then, the at
torneys for the State objecting.
Telling Of his business dealings
and friendliness with Jones,
Kretschmar declared that they be-
came fast friends when they were
boys employed by the Drummond
Tobacco Co., and that for IA years
they worked there together, leay-
ing the company at the same time
In April, 1907, the Common
wealth Feed Milling CO., at which
plant the tragedy occurred, was
organized with Jones at its head,
and in the August following
Kretschmar became a stockholder,
he said. \

matter OF fact the most Of my time

cd of my position Jan. 9, last, but
continued to visit the mill after
that, and frequently visited Area

II frequently accompanied Mr..
Jones to his summer home in Ar
Idia and was treated there with the
greatest Of hospitality. We also
journeyed to the summer resorts
together, among them being French
Lick Springs and West Baden.
These trips with Mr.. Jones ended
In 1906"
Kretschmar was asked ii he had
ever threatened to kill Jones. He
laughed and said Yes

SHE said Mr.. Jones did not in

trip with ths intention Of staying

said that, though he had made the

From The Globe Democrat.
Murder in the second degree,
with the punishment eighteeu years
in the Penitentiary, was the YER
dict of the jury ia the a S OF Her~
man A. Kretschmar, who shot and
killed Clarence N. Jones, president
Of the Commonwealth Feed Mills
Company, ia his Office at De Soto
avenue and Second street, Fabru-
airy 8. Ii was q compromise YER
dict, reached after many ballots
had been cast. The Jury was out
from 5.15 to 9:t5 p. M. One hour
was spent alb supper in q restaurant
near the -Four Courts. Some of
tho jurors were in favor Of a YER
dict of murder in the first degree,
with the penalty either death or
life imprisonment, A few were for
finding the man guilty of man
slaughteri in tae fourth degree. 1t
liz understood that none was for ac-
Iqpittal. The strongest point made
by che state, which Ia said to have
caused the jurors to put no faith in
Kretschmar's version of the shoot
ing, was the character OF tho
wounds which killed Jones. AS
sistant Circuit Attorney Newton
laid great. stress on tho course Ia
ken by the bullets. lie insisted
that Jones could not have been
standihgup and engaged IN seuf-
flo with hreGschmar, as the latter
testified. Ono bullet entered Mr..
| Jonos' head above and behind the
fright ear ana took 4 downward
course. Another entered the
breast an inch below the shoulder
and penetrated downward. Chas.
P. Johnston and Judge c.. Orrick
Bishop, attorneys for Kretsehmar,
were not in court when the verdict
was returned, nor was the circuit
Attorneys Office represented.
Kretschmar was surrounded by his
brother, Charles L.. Kretsohmar,
secretary to Street Commissioner
Travilla, and other relatives and
friends. The convicted man took
the verdict without any evidence
Iof emotion. After bidding those
about him goodnight, and told by
relatives and. friends 10 be Of good
cheer, he was returned to the City
Jail. Mr.. Johnson stated at his
homo after he had learned the ver-
dict that the result was not a sur
prise to him, but he thought tho
punishment a little severe. Mr..
johnson will make q motion for a
new trial to-day and will also move
to have Kretschmar admitted to
bail. He could not net bail before
the charge a murder Id the first
degree had been disposed 81. II
is said friends Of the prisoner are
prepared to give bond III any sum.
Mr.. johnson said he would appeal
the case to the Supreme Court ii q
new trial is refused.

last Thursday on the charge d
stealing a revolver from the house
of his former employer, j. D,
Vance, the livery man, in Arcadia
a couple of weeks previous. Judge
Williams asked him where he
lived; no said his home was ir
Neeleyville, that his father and
mother were dead, and he hat
been run away from home by his
drunken grandfather. OF course
he had no money to employ an at
torney, and Mr.. Edgar ives ap,
pointed to defend him. Aftei

brought ia a verdict OF not guilty
the lawyers and others in cour
made up a purse of about $40 fol

In revising the Arcadia Valley
Cook Book, the limited space, the
superfiuous number of recipes or
some subjects and the extended
opportunity to new contributors
made some few eliminations 1
necessity. However, a careful OK

a fair and impartial representation
by both the old and the new.
