FIX DAY FOR
ROBERTS TRIAL
Indictments Charging Murder
Stand and Case Will be
Called on Wednesday
ACCUSED ENTERS
NOT GUILTY PLEAS

Reese Roberts, colored. indicted on
charges of numbering Robert Casey,
Jr. and Ann NJ. Casey, his wife, was
brought into the oyer and Terminer
Court today for trial.
Directly back of the dock in the
court room was Roberts wife.
There were about twenty Witness
es for the State present this morning,
and the additional ten or twelve are
summoned for this afternoon. The de-
fence expects to have about twenty
five witnesses.
GRoberts Is represented by J. Frank
Ball, who last week presented mo-
ton to Quash the indictments against
the prisoner. The ground upon
which IN emotion was based was that
the grand jury found the indictments
upon hearsay testimony.
Following the argument on Thurs
day last the court requested further
argument Today at the opening OF
court J. Crank Ball renewed his at
tack on the indictments. In his afii-
davlt Roberts alleged that the testi.
mony was hearsay and secondary be
| Ing incompetent, prevalent and ille
gal. Roberts asked for the right Z,
summon witnesses to prove that the
only evidence heard by the gran,
jury was hearsay and secondary. H'
also quoted the State Constitution
on the subject
Attorney General Andrew c. era.
claimed this motion came after
plea had been entered.
Mr.. Ball contended that the ple'
had been withdrawn. Attorney Gen
eral Gray did not believe the cour
would not bring the grand jurors int
the public court 10 testify as TO th'
testimony before that body.
Mr.. Ball said the affidavit claimed
this was hearsay testimony. but th'
state and grand jury have not at
tempted to disprove the facts al
set out If that indictment is tainte,
then the whole case would be tainted
Mr.. Ball argued.
/ Chief Justice Pennewill and judges
Boyce and Conrad retired to parlorl
| TO consider the motion. Subsequently
the court refused the motion TO quasi
and Roberts was arraigned first OF
the charge of numbering Mrs. Casey
He chewed gum while the court clerl
read the indictments.
With a clear voice he entered a pie
Of not guilty in each case.
AT this stage of the case Mr.. Ba
asked for a continuance until Nor
day. He said he had sixteen witnesse
fve of whom are out of the State. NJ

FIRST LOAD OF
WHEAT DELIVERED
BY Oscar Maley to the
Farmers Union
Warehouse.

The first load of 1910 grain
delivered to this city was a load
Of barley delivered the Farmers
Union Warehouse on Wednes-
day by Oscar Maley Of Ferry
Canyon. 1t is of fine quality
and Mr.. Maley reports the yield
to be very good. Harvesting
has been in progress FOR over a
week in the north end of the
county. A few of the farmers
of this vicinity have started
while all are making prepara-
tions and in a few days harvest
will be on throughout the coun-
ty in general. 1t is as yet inn
possible to place an estimate
on the probable yield of grain
throughout the county on ac-
count of the small amount which
has been harvested in the CEN
trail and southern portions but
the yield through the northern
part is reported as being, well
above the average for that sec
ton. Labor is very scarce but
each train brings in men who
are looking for work in the har-
vest fields and in a few days
there will be no trouble in Sc
curing a full crew. 1t has late
ly been reported that the yield
as near as can be ascertained, is
turning out better than was ex-
pected. However that may be
all indications point toward an
era of prosperity in Gillian
County.

Heads Measure Over
Sixteen Inches.
STALKS ALSO VERY LARGE
Grown on Henry Wilkins rauch
Near Clem--WilI Yield over
100 Bushels to Acre.

That Gillian County is a BAN
ner field for the raising of oats
is proven by the fact that on
Henry Wilkins ranch near Clem
comes a sample of oats, the heads
Of which measure sixteen and
one-quartef inches. When one
stops to consider that the aver
age oat head measures from
four and one-half to six inches,
the report of these mammoth
heads sounds like a fairy tale,
but it is an absolute fact and can
be proven to anyone doubling
the statement. Not only are the
heads of an extraordinary size
but the straw is also large in
proportion, measuring about four
feet in length and as large IN
circumference as a persons fin
ger. It is not known of what
species of the oat family these
belong and in spite of the large
size the head is we'll filled. The
estimate one could place on an
acre of oats Of this kind would
be a large one. Chas. F. Ken
nedy, the local manager of the
Pacific Coast Elevator Company's
warehouse, is the discoverer of
these mammoth oats and stands
responsible for the report.
