hands of the jury by Saturday night. The
last principal witness was John Grunden,
who. with DR.. w. r. Miller, is accused
Of the murder of ]. B. sayler last July
Grunden's description of the struggle
lacked the dramatic force of the recital
of DR.. Miller, but was filled with greater
details. Pausing occasionally to reflect on
his answers Grunden described how the
two came together. his son-in-law, Say
ler. brandishing hand-ax, and DR.. Mil

man, and the woman on trial. testified
that her father bought a revolver two
years ago and that 1t was kept in a 0raw-
er in her room and explained that the
third weapon found after the murder she
did not recognize. In rebuttal the state
summoned Witnesses who testified that
the morning following the shooting blood
spots were not dry on the furniture in

defense failed to shake the witness and
the state believed 1t had overcome the
effect of the blood-drying experiments Of
fered by the defense.

turn verdict Of not guilty for Mrs.
Sayler, and John Grunden was denied by
Judge Dibell
Attorney Frank Harry is scheduled to
