 This dissatisfaction with legislatures is of long standing. Throughout the nineteenth century states placed after restriction on the awmakng body-as for example, by prescribing that it should meet only once in years-and then for limited number of days.

STATE RESTS CASE
IN DAVIS TRIAL

EATON, o., Nov. 4.-The state rest
ed its case In the trial of Elwood Da-
Wis, charged with the murder of
Franklin Bourne, whose body was III
earthed on his farm last June. The
afternoon was observed as a holiday.
Examinations of witnesses for the de-
Tense will be begun tomorrow morn
ing.
Much Of the testimony of the states
witnesses this morning tended to i'm
plicate another man whom witnesses
swore they had seen around the
Bourne farm, but were unable to iden-
tify. Stanley Mcdonald, the young
man who discovered the decomposed
body in the garden, testified that he
had seer another man helping Davis
pillow the ground.
Elmer Baldwin, a well-known farm
er, said that when driving to Cam
den n day in April he saw two men
digging in the Bourne garden. He
identified one Of the men as Elwood
Davis, and the other he did not know.
The substance of interviews with
the defendant formed the greater part
of Sheriff WertZ's testimony. He tes-
titled that he had in his possession a
piece of carpet taken from the Bourne
home with a spot on it, which Dr.. F.
M. Michael had analysed as blood.
