Centerville, Feb. 27.-The third week
of the Moulton arson case begins with
the states case materially weakened
by the evidence of the defense contro-
vert!ng much Of the states most i'm
portant testimony and impeaching
three Of its main witnesses. William
and Charley Edwards and their farm
corn was hauled from the elevator to
the Edwards farm the night of the fire
Edison Kelso has testified that tools he
left hanging In the elevator when he
closed up the night of the fire were
found after the fire in Ray Replogles
barn when a search was made there.
The state contends that Kelso. as a
partizan of Mr.. Croft. and Hendons
planted the tools there for discovery,
the constable saying he seemed to know
right where to find them. Several farm
ers have testified to selling seed to A.
c. Croft after the fire. which the de-
Tense contends accounts for the seed
found in the Hendon SHEDS a few days
after the fire. The state claims this
seed al the Hendon's was hauled there
the night of the fire.
A 15-year- old boy, Alva Powell, tes-
Afied that he was at the elevator be-
tween 4 and o'clock the evening be-
fore the fire and helped Jim Hendon
load several sacks Of cement and five
sacks of corn into his wagon. which
he drove home and put in the shed.
This was to controvcrt the testimony
of Mrs. Ward, who told of seeing Hen
don unload timothy seed at the shed
that evening.
Albert Hatfield one of the hands at
the Edwards farm. testified that he did
not haul any shelled corn away from
the elevator the evening of the fire,
as had been testified to by the witnesses
for the state.
The defense has introduced much OF

to be necessary for the jury to decide
as to the truthfulness of several of the
witnesses. there being so many direct
