PRICE CASE JURY
HAS NOW RETIRED
Final Arguments in Eaton
Murder Trial Were
Given Today.
palladium Specially

EATON, o., Dec. 1.-THE testi-
mony all given and the arguments of
both sides completed Saturday, the
final result in the case of Charles E..
Price, charged with second degree
murder for the death of Andrew F..
Avery, rests with the jury Both the
defense and prosecution are conf
dent, and the outcome is purely con-
lecture, although it is generally be-
lieved that Price will be found guilty.
Prosecuting Attorney Hugh H. Gill
more opened the argument Friday af-
ternoon. He recalled to the jury con-
vincing points that had been scored
during the progress of the testimony
and stated that nothing had been pro-
duced to show why Price was not gull
ty of second degree murder. He made
strong plea for the elimination of
sympathy in the consideration of the
evidence, because in no way had it
any bearing.
Attorney John Risinger, one of
Prices attorneys. followed with a
touching plea. He implored the jurors
to deliberate carefully and to think
what it would mean to find the accus.
ed guilty: to tear him from his young
wife and little child, both of whom
had been in attendance daily and
watched tearfully the progress, step
by step, in the case against the hus.
band and father.
\ Attorney P. A. Saylor, another OF
Prices attorneys, opened the argu
ment Saturday morning. He was fol
lowed by Attorney Frank G. Shuey
who has been assisting Prosecutor Gil
more.
! Judge Abel c. Risinger consumed
about an hour in making his charge
to the jury.
What effect upon the jury the sym
pathy plea of the defense will have is
a matter that has received considera
BILE consideration. Attendants during
the trial since the beginning. last
Monday morning, have at times even
been moved by its strong play. The
little 3-year-old daughter of Price sci

Prices wife also attended daily.
| The effect of the ordeal during the
past five days is visible on the coun
tenance Of Price, and is shown fa1
more than worry to which he was sub
jected during the few weeks following
the tragedy His physical condition
has declined and his weight is about
thirty-five pounds under normal.
| In the event that he is found guilty
of the original charge lifetime penal
ty will be given. If it is reduced and

of from one to twenty years may b<
pronounced. 1t is hardly probable thai
a disagreement will be had.

It was the intention of the commit.

meeting, but they found that skating
had been arranged for that night and
the directors of the Coliseum would
not rent the hall for less than $3.50
for the one night AS the Hoosier

could afford to pay that price for the
Coliseum. The committee has secur
ed the Murray Theater for the meet
ing and every inch of available space
will be taken advantage of.
The Hoosier State Progressive Lea
que was organized about two months

County Health Officer Ap-
peals to People of Wayne
County to Help Fight
Against White Plague.
TELLS OF NEED OF
A VISITING NURSE
DR.. King Also States that Be-
tween so and 60 Wayne
County People Died of
Disease During Year.

The great value resulting from tho
purchasing of one Red Cross seal was
pointed out Saturday by County
Health Commissioner, J. f. King. Dr.
King asserts that there Is constantly
a great need for preventive work in
the fight on tuberculosis in Wayne
county. and he said the only source Of
revenue for waging such a campaign
WAS the receipts from the sale of Red
Cross seals.
The county officer declares that in
Wayne county there are probably fifty
or sixty people who have died from
the white plague this year. and at least
q dozen cases are now reaching the
fatal stage because Of lack of treat
ment. Outside OF Richmond, DR.. King
Iinds most Of the cases in the small
towns rather than on farms. This is
due, according to the health expert, to
the fact that in these villages and
towns people are closely associated
thus spreading the disease at a rapid
rate. This situation. in the opinion
Of the county of1icial. proves the need
of q special hospital where the afflict-
ed ones may be segregated to prevent
Q spread Of the white plague.
Endorsement Given.

have Q visiting nurse for Wayne Coun.
ty next year is given DR.. King. Even

but II a specially trained nurse goes
into q home and illustrates how to live
properly in order to be healthy, the
people will change their habits and
thus help stamp out tuberculosis. "
The possibility of bringing a nurse
here for this purpose In 1912 hinges
entirely on the number of Red Cross
seals sold
According to statistics compiled by
DR.. King. II every one Of the 43,757
residents OF Wayne County bought

would be secured for the Aght against
tuberculosis. As seventy.five per cent
OF this sum goes directly to the work
in Wayne County alone, an amount
sufficient to realize all the plans of the
county anti-tuberculosis society would
be provided in a single year. DR.. King
also points out that II every person
bought juat one stamp. the local sup.
ply would be nearly exhausted.
However, comments the county
health ofiicer. many people won't buy
the seals because of carelessness or
procrastination. or, as in the majority
Of cases, because of indifference. For
this reason those who do buy. should
get az many as they can afford. DR.
King recalls the postal rules which
permit the seals to be placed any place
on domestic letters. and on the back
Of foreign mail. adding that there is
no law against using them on legal
paper and business correspondence
and no law against using more than
one seal on a single package.

WASHINGTON. Dec l6.-The fact
came out at the white house today
from the highest authority that Rus
sia has notified the United States

ing the treaty of 1889 rs an insult. As
a result of the most important develop
'ments President Taft is working des-
perately today to have the resolution
either killed in the senate or else
amend it so as to remove tho cause
of Russia's protest.
Russia Is in earnest about the pro-
posed abrogatiop. and will not accept
the action carried in the Sulzer roso-
luton. No direct threats have been
made to this government. but tho
meaning of the Russian protest 10 not

the Sulzer resolution goes through as

existing, war with Russia would be but
one short step further.
Knox At White House.
The fact of Russia's big complaint
against the action Of the house In pass

day after Secretary Knox had left the
white house. He was in conference
with the President for nearly an hour.
and Immediately Afterwards tho SCR

known. The white house made NO ef-
forts to conceal the facts in tho case.
1t became known today Secretary

out about it at tho time. In fact ev-
cry effort was made to hush up the
matter until the senate could be told
of the protest.
The Russian ambassador IL reported
| to have told the President and the ses-
retary that Russia regards the passage
of the Sulzer resolution as an un-
friendly act in itself toward Russia.
| The ambassador did not mince words
about it, but told the President franz
ly that Russia was dead against any
such procedure as this and that it
would be wise thing II some consid-
Grafton OF Russia's feelings In the

tary Knox talked the situation over

position of the Russian government
was not fully comprehended. Today.
however, the President went at once
into the matter, called in Secretary
Knox and they talked over the new
phase of the abrogation movement.
1t was then decided that tho senate
must be appealed to in order to modi'
fy the Sulzer resolution.
