to be weighing Shepard's availability

Des Moines, Sept. 29.-Judge Howe's
ruling in the Cownie- Carroll case
which prevented Cownie from intro
ducing any evidence to prove his III
nocence Of the charges made against
him in statements which were procur-
ed from certain notorious girls at Nit
chellville and in some cases written out
for them to sign by the governors en-
ployes has barred from this trial the
real issue which the public wanted
tried, the question as to whether there
was any foundation in fact for the
charges or whether they were solicited
and used to blackmail Cownie out of
office. The court in the governors tes-
timony, permitted the charges to be-
come public but the moment that Cow
MES lawyers sought to show how ut
terly preposterous and untrue the
charges were the court ruled that the
truth Of the charges was not an issue
in the case and therefore excluded all
testimony in defense Of Cownie's char
acter. The result is that Cownie and
his friends are not going TO be satisfied
now even If Carroll is convicted Of
libel.

charges Of the girls. 1t would have been
shown from the girls themselves that
they signed statements written for
them and they were expected to admit
on the witness stand that John Cownie
had never said an improper thing to
them.
One of the girls whose story that
Cownie had laid hands on her person
was one of the most sensational, was
there ready to deny that Cowne ever
did such a thing and her explanation to
DR.. Liebig. of Marshalltown, also a
witness, was that she had signed a
statement which had been prepared for
her
DR.. Liebig was there to impeach the
testimony Of the Korns woman whose
letter to the governor had charged
Cownie with improper conduct, but she
was not permitted to testify. The let
ter showed on the face Of it that some
one with perfect diction and graceful
style OF writing had prepared it, while
the woman could not possibly have
composed anything like 1t. The opening
sentence began: "in reply 10 yours
Of -" indicating that her story had
been solicited. According to DIR. Lie
and now overseer of the poor, this
woman was the mother Of girl who
had been sent to Mitchellville. The girl
seemed to have come by her wayward-
ness naturally from her mother, from
what the doctor knew about both, and
the mother had admitted to the doctor
that she had written about Cownie to
get even with him because he had re-
fused to let her daughter leave the
school. The Korns woman herself
was there and admitted in the waiting
room that she was sorry that she had
ever said anything bad about Cownie.
