Newton. Dec. 21.-The state rested
In the Krampe murder trial at 1O:35
There were few important develop
ments differing from the former trial.
One witness said he asked Krampe
jestinRly why he had killed Miss
Hermesmeier and stolen the cattle. He
said Krampe replied jokingly, who
wouldn't have done it?" Another testi-
fled he asked krampe why he did it,
and defendant did not reply. Ray
Traussel, liveryman, whom Krampe
hired to help drive off the
cattle. said when they parted that
night the defendant gave him a quart
bottle containing small quantity of
whisky and said that the defendant
had been drinking.
The three conflicting written state
ments made by Krampe April 13 were
offered and read to the jury. The first
that he bought the cattle and
knew nothing of the death, the
second that he stole the cat
tie and saw her lying dead, and
the third said he agreed with AL Gist
that Gist was to kill her Krampe to
steal and sell the cattle and divide the
proceeds: said he went to the home
and saw her dead Saturday night, Feb.
II, and the lamp was still burning. He
returned the 18th before daylight and
saw her still lying in the same place,
then he hired Traussel and drove off
,, the cattle and sold them the next day
to Fred Sherman for 1915. He met
Gist the following Saturday and gave
him 500 as his share and asked Gist
no questions
Gist was on the stand and denied all
the transactions. The authorities be-
lieves Gist.
