Often girl or boy brave in all

one excessive fear, such as dread Of

a shock in early years. In either case
it is purely physical and not to be

In the day. Captain Karnss reviewed
the whole story In short order. He was
full OF IT.. had worked It over and over
until 1t was a part Of himself. When
Attorney Ogden would inquire and 1t
was few times that he did, the story
would come from tie witness SO as to
almost nonplus the lawyers for the de-
Tense. The State rested It's case this
afternoon. - 5'N' VI
It looks now as II the jury would
get the case by tomorrow evening.
The case Is being keenly contested
w. R. Riggs evidence yesterday al.
ternoon proved that the piano went
from Fairmont to Parkersburg. He
produced records that showed the car
train and crew that moved the piano.
Miss Fannie Moore, the girl to
whom Hinkle gave the PIANO. was on
the witness stand yesterday afternoon
She told the story OF Hinkle placing
the piano in the stockert home in a
straight forward manner. Henry W.
Stockert Is an uncle Of Miss Moore.
She lued at Stockert's home and at
tended school at Buckhannon. Hlnkle
proposed to place piano in her un'
cle's home for her and she consented.
All went well as marriage bell un'
; til Detective R. c. Karnes was paced
on the trail OF the music box. He and
another man appeared at Stock
ert's on May Z. 1908. They stated that
they wanted the piano that Hinkle
had stolen It. That afternoon while
Miss Moore was at school the officers
had the piano taken to the B. O..
freight house where It was boned and
sent to U. B. Williams. Falrmont. R.

the terminal. She could not identify
the piano by any number or marks up
on It. III r.. ia
Mr.. stockert followed Miss Moore.
His statement was corroborative Of
Miss Moore's. He did not bring out
anything new. He was unable to Id.
entity the piano. \.
Samuel Teets, freight welgher and
truckman at the depot at Buckhannon,
d . uH-| /
had a general story Of the piano to
relate. Nothing special. was adduced
by this witness.
Phil Flyers, the trnnsfer man who
hauled the piano from the station for
Hinkle to stockert's home and then
later hauled 1t from Stockert's home
to the station for the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, said all
piano boxes looked alike to him and
he could not identify the one down in
the local freight house as the one he
hauled at either time at Buckhannon,
