fortune to lose my house and con-
tents by fire, and on the 21st OF

to my farm and settled in manner
entirely to my satisfaction. I re-
ceived 5000. have been insured in
the Farmers Insurance Company for

insurance. You will find him a gen.
tleman in every respect.

Leon. The jury is not allowed to
separate during the trial with the
exception of Mr.. LaFollette, Mr.. Fill
ical and Mr.. Bunch, who were given
special permission to go to their
homes and remain over night.
The attorneys for the state were
county attorney E. H. Sharp, A. P.
Olsen and v. R. McGinnis,, while the
defendant retained C. w. Hoffman
ad Marion Woodard.
The court room has been packed
at leach session of court, every seat
being occupied and many standing,
and about one-half of the audiences
have been ladies.
On Thursday morning when court
convened at 9 O'Clock, Judge Max
we'll proceeded with the case at once,
the opening statements being made
for the state by county attorney
Sharp and for the defense by C. w.
Hoffman, who outlined in a brief
manner what they would expect to
prove during the trial, the state
claiming that Mrs. Zornes died from
the effect of a blow on the head
struck by Clarence Teale, while the
defense claimed that they would be
able to show that Clarence Teale,
did not strike Mrs. Zornes with a
club or anything else during the
fight which occurred at the ZOrnes
home
The trial has attracted wide at
tention and is the sole topic of con-
versation on the streets. The at
torneys on both sides have been fight
ing a hard battle, contesting every
inch of the ground, and they have
put in a strenuous week. Each day
the attendance of the trial seemed
to increase, until during the last few
days there was not foot of stand
in room les- in the court room.
- TIE c-zsat1c1 Of the trial was the
testi:1c-.y of Ten Young, who was

mli:.2c c. ,.Irs. Zornes. !Ie went on
the stand Tuesday morning AID in
reply to the questions of the at
torneys for Teale told the story of
the killing, in which he said it was
him that struck Mrs. Zornes out in
the yard and not Clarence Teale.
A synopsis of the testimony, is
printed on three pages of this issue,
commencing on page two, and it tells
the story practically as told by Tom
Young on the witpess stand. Tom
Young was followed by the defend
ant, Clarence Teale, who is on trial,
and he denied that he struck Mrs.
Zornes in any manner.
The arguments were commenced
in the case on Tuesday evening about
4:30, the opening argument being
made for the state by county at
torney E. H. Sharp, who did not
finish Tuesday evening and resumed
his argument and was still talking
to the jury at the time this article
was written "wednesday forenoon) =.
he will be followed by Marion Wood
ard for the defense and then c: w.
Hoffman will make the closing argu-
ment for the defense, and v. r. Nc
Ginnis will close with the final argu-
ment for the prosecution. At this
time the attorneys think the case
will be submitted to the jury late
this evening, but it may be that the
argument will not be finished before
Thursday morning.
