YOUNG PARSONS STICKS TO ES-
sENTIALS IN TESTIMONY
AGAINST SHEARER.
BY OWN EVIDENCE,
BUT EXPECTS LENIENcY
Defense in Preliminary Trial Of Shearer
for Lucas Murder confuses Main
Witness in Some Things But Not as
to Main ement-court overrules
Motion to Discharge shearer.
Special to Times-Republican.


Mason City, Sept 19.-On the 9th
Of this month the grand jury will con-
vene and doubtless the first work they
will take up is the case against John
S. Shearer, charged with the murder
Of Henry Lucas. Parsons has told his
story In court. He is an accessory in
the crime, according to his own admis-
sion, but is expecting leniency.
He is boy "a years old, but has a
weak mind. In the preliminary he
could not be moved on the essential
facts. One thing favorable to the state
is that he had not read the accounts of
the murder in the papers, for he is not
a reader. He had not talked to any
one about the murder, yet, when he
was first detained by the sheriff and
was asked if he could tell where the
murder was committed, he said he
could. He then took the officers to the
place where Lucas was killed, went
with them over the road where the
on the night of July 16 the body was
taken. down thru a pasture gate, thru
the pasture, around a large neck Of
woods and to the spot where the body
was deposited.
Sticks to Main Story.
The question arises at once how did
he know this unless he was with the
murderer when the crime was commit
ted On nom essentials the attorneys
for the defendant riddled his testimony
badly. One thing in the evidence that
is favorable to the defense is the fact
that after so much pounding over the
head, where there were Commissions and
conclusions, where there was a gaping
wound, Parsons said that the body of
Lucas leaned UP against him in the
buggy, that his head was on his shout
ders and yet there was no blood on any
of the clothing worn by Parsons and
he saw no blood.
Discharge is Refused.
The defendants attorney moved for
a discharge Of the prisoner at the con-
clusion of the states evidence on the
grounds that the witness was an ac-
complete and that without corrobora-
ting evidence the defendant could not
be held Judge Rankin held otherwise
and John S. Shearer was bound over
without bail to the grand jury. Much
interest is manifested here over the
trial. While the murder was one of
the most cruel and heartless ever COM
mitted in this section of the state there
is a desire expressed that no one
should suffer the penalty without due
process of law.
