THE MOST INTERESTING CASE
EVER IN FEDERAL COURT HERE
The Courts Instructions Absolutely
Fair and Impartial 10 Both The
Government and Defendant

The real milk in the cocoanut is:
Where was Crayens during the years
that Maust was serving time in the
penitentiary During all of the lesti-
mony. not a single witness testified
that they had positively seen Craveno
during those years There seems to
be an hiatus II several years that can
not be filed. In other words. to- quote
Judge Embry. If Maust is Maust,
where was Crayens in the meantime?
The usual large crowd Of interest
ing spectators was in evidence at
the federal court this morning. The
female OF the species was also in eyl-
dence as usual She came early and
refused to badge at adjournment
that is most of them refused At l.
o'clock the case went to the jury ana
the court began to sum up the eri-
dence
United States District Attorney
John Emory finished his argument in
the Cravens case at ll:O3 this morn
ing. He opened his argument TINS
morning Oh the qualifications Of the
testimony OF the Witnesses FOR the
deTense that had a limited acquaint-
ance with he defendant, such as
Chief Of Police VIM Tilghman, young
Porter, Harve Becknell, Malemy and
Sam Blrtell He discussed the diff
ference between the witnesses that
had limited acquaintance with tae
defendant. and the witnesses who
were intimately acquainted with him.
The defendants attorney Al Jen-
nngs, objected to Embry referring 10
the padded shoulders OF the defend
ant because that point ha0 not been
introduced in the testimony Mt.
Embry stated that he did not attach
any Importance TO the testimony Of
the witnesses who saw the defendant
at McCloud because they mad linn
tied acquaintance vita the defendant
He referred TO the bad regulations
oorn by Clyde MattoX and Jim
Hughes, and cthers of that class,
and dcclared that the defense did not
produce a witness that knew GRAY
ems well who did not have an unsay-
0ry record or who had not harbored
criminals sometime in his life He
put tne testimony Of Berr ,Veity. his
mother. sister. and one or two 9th
ers aside. The witnesses from Line
vile. Iowa, who knew Crayens for
years had recognized the defendant
as Ben Cravens. He averred that the
testimony OF EX-Deputy WWarden W.
A. Thompson OF the Lansing prison,
Archie Huycke. the bottom officer
and other officers Of that prison. who
had seen Crayens daily for several
years. We're infinitely better qualified
to tell whether the defendant was
Cravens than tlose of a limited ac-
quaintanee. He referred to General
Canton as an officer of unusual strong
character and SO true to his calling
that his politics was not asked by
either the defense or the prosecution
