JUNKIN CASE I5
DRAWING 9 0 CLOSE
Expected to % to the This Even
Ing or Early e 'or-

CENTERVILLE, la. g une lin
contrast to the expes 3 sstimony Of
Alienists Dr. H. J. Hoe Drake uni
versity and DIR. J. B. Eoz of Ottumwa,
who occupied the stand in the Junkin
case most Of yesterdays session, was
the opening argument Of the jury in
behalf Of the state by County Attorney
Rowland w. Smith OF Centerville,
wno at 2:45 o'clock began his lengthy
review to the twelve men who sit In
Judgment OF the negro murderer.
The last evidence offered by the de-
Tense was that OF DIR. Box. who, aside
from stamping Junkin as criminal
from birth, vividly told Of the effects
OF the many drugs Of which Junkin is
accredited with being addicted to-.
Alienist Box stated that he had obsery-
ed 1,200 liquor and 800 drug patients
during his practice and showed by his
testimony that he was an authority on
the effects of drugs upon their users.
He stated that Junkin was born weak
ened and was susceptible to evil in
fluences, but when he beat Clara Ro-
sen to death he knew what he was do
ing, but did not care. The jury was
given q thorough treatise on the CO.
caine, morphine, opium, cigarette and
liquor habits, all OF which Junkin used,
but County Attorney Cornell gained
the admission from the witness that
one could not become a fiend Of opium
by hitting the pipe" only twice, which
previous evidence showed was the
number OF times that defendant had
smoked opium.
The opening argument of County At
torney Smith contained not only a
complete review Of the crime of John
Junkin, but In it was a bitter arraign-
ment of the defendant and his attor-
neys and the kind Of defense that has
been made by them. He demanded OF
the Jury the death penalty, and in
every syllable uttered the attorney
sought to belittle the claim Of the de
/ Tense that life Imprisonment would be
more punishment to Junkin than death
on the gallows. He finished his ar
gument at o'clock.
Attorney John r, Price of Abb;
\ made the first argument for the de
4 fense this morning, and followift
\ ing him will come Judge Mitchell.
4 The closing words to the jury vii
be made by County Attorney Senac'
/ Cornell of Wapella county. The cour
will not instruct the jury before ad
4 journment tomorrow.
