POlreis Day She Died Says
Death Was Due 20
Diabetes.

FLANDREAU, S. D., June G-(Special
Telegram)-Mrs. Moses Kaufman took the
stand in her own behalf today in her trial
for numbering Agnes Polreis. her servant,
but did not occupy 1t to exceed five min
utes. She stated she never knew of the
injuries on the girls head until the pre-
liminary hearing in Sioux Falls, that she
never struck her with any kind of an in
strument, never poured hot water on her
and never poked her in the sides. Because
Of the narrow scope of the examination
and limits placed thereby on cross-exami-
nation the state did not cross-examine at
all. Mrs. Kaufman showed perfect COM
posture and spoke in a low but emphatic
voice.
DIR. w. A. German, Kaufman family
physician, who was called to treat the
girl on the day of her death and had her
sent to the hospital, declared she died Of
diabetes and hat the injuries could not
have been caused by an instrument of
any kind because of their symmetry, their
location on the shoulders and elbows and
because no marks were made on exposed
bones. Cross-examination showed he did
not make any examination of the girl other
than to AXE pulse and temperature, and
did not ascertain the history of her case.
Because of the fine law point not raised
in the first trial the state was not al
lowed, as in the first trial, to show what
German wrote in the death certificate or
what he said at the time of the girls
death Of carbolic acid burns or female
trouble as the cause. DR.. f. A. Spafford
of Flandreau, answering hypothetical ques-
lions, gave disease as the reason for death.

fourteen boys has been given a farm four
by eight feet
Few of these children can either read
or write explained Mrs. Parsons.
almost none of them can do the simplest
sums in arithmetic, 1t looked rather
hopeless when Miss Champion, my assist
ant, and / began the task.
when it came to planting l explained
that the beans were to be planted a span
apart, the onions two spans and so on
I showed them that one span was Just the
width of the rake. Like a flash one of the
boys replied that they would not need to
use their hands In measuring, as the onions
would have to be planted two rakes apart.
This the other boys understood and acted
accordingly.
when the vegetables began to grow, to
enable the boys to cultivate them most
effectively I got wooden meat skewers
which l had them grasp as though about
to write. With the point hey sturred the
soil about the plants and in doing so many
of them made the motion as though about
to write.
1T was very simple and after a little
all of them were using the skewers as if
they were pens, and each farm was thor
oughly titled. Their school teacher is
following this up, and we believe in a short
time the children will learn to use their
pens and be able to write"
