ON TRIAL FOR THE
 EARRING OF GIRL
First of Six Men Meets Charge by
 Attempting to Prove AIib.

Norwalk, O., Nov. 14.-The result of the first of the cases brought by County Prosecutor Young against six West Clarksfield men charging them with "riotous conspiracy in stripping and painting Minnie La Valley, a girl of the village, on the night of Aug. 30 last, probably will be known before night tomorrow.
 Taking of testimony in the case of Ernest Welch, the first of the six in- dicted men to be put on trial, was completed this afternoon. The jury then was excused until tomorrow morning, when arguments will be be- gun. It is expected that the case will go to the jury by noon.
 The defense called the young mans mother, Mrs. Alice Welch. to the stand today and sought by her testimony to prove that he was at home all of the evening on which the "tar party" took place. More testimony to the effect that Minnie La Valleys character was bad" was also adduced.
 In case of conviction, the charge of "riotous conspiracy" will allow the state to send Welch to the penitentiary for a term of from two to ten years. The defense has sought to show that the painting of the girl was merely assault and battery and that the de- fendant proved an alibi.
 Prosecutor Young has intimated that an acquittal means the dropping of the other cases.
