second, load was missed in February
following. After missing the first
load, various debris was mixed with
the wheat, by which it could be iden-
titled. After the second loau was
stolen. this wheat was traced to
Burlington elevator and identified by
the various articles which were mixed
in the wheat. The Burlington elsva-
tor man positively identified the de-
PENDANT as the party that had sold
said wheat at the elevator. The con.
tention Of the defense was that there
was no wheat found in the sleigh
and was proved by two reliable wit
nesses, that no trace Of wheat what
ever was found in the. wagon box. He
also tried to prove an alibi, which
in the eyes of the jury seemed to
be weak. In fact it corroborated the
evidence introduced by the state.
