The officers hold that this would make
veritable czar out of the chief.
Walter Fisher, the famous civic
leader, is taking an active hand in the
fight. He has a powerful organization

JAMES J. HILL.

The good land in this state,
every acre of 1t can produce at a
low estimate from $12 to SIS per
acre. 1t can be made to produce
$40 per acre. If it produces $40

If some one would com and offer
you $50 or SIS or 500 an acre you

less money, don't sell your land.
Hold on to it. Th> time will come

If you take care of it, and there is
no reason why it should not be

this afternoon rested its case against
Nine. setinheil, who is accused OF
numbering her husband. Adolphe Stein
he'll and her stepmother, Nine. Japy.
The defense at once began the exam
ination Of witnesses. The popular opin-
ion is that the prosecution has not
made out a case against the prisoner
and that she will be acquitted by the
jury. Just as the prosecution was
closing its evidence the prisoner re-
newed her implied threat she had sew
eral times made TO breach a scandal
that would involve persons of high
standing but again as on the previous
occasions Judge Devalles' invitation
to proceed with her revelations was
met with silence. Today in a flash of
passion, she cried out, my past con-
tains interesting chapters"
Judge Devalles, unmoved by the in
terruption promptly and sternly re-
piled, You are at perfect liberty to
say anything that you please" Nine.
Steinheil, however, went no further
and the case Of the government was
declared closed.
Chauffeur Testifies.
The first witness introduced by the
defense was the chauffeur, who testi-
fed that Nine. Steinheil gave him $4
for trying to find the ''blue automobile
which was reported TO have been seen
in front Of the Steinheil home in I'm
passe Ronsim at o'clock on the even
ing Of the crime. This testimony was
intended to show that Nine. Steinheil
