Wilson ought 10 be lynched; that he
also talked with Ralph Gerhardt who
told him Wilson was guilty and ought
ITO be punished Mr. Shamln. a first
cousin OF West. said that West had
talked with him about the case.
Mr. West testified and denied all.
except about the talk with Mr.. Ger
hardt, saying that the latter did all
the talking. He admitted every
thing, but said Gerhardt was against
Wilson.
Robert Hardesty, OF Summit Point,
who is against Wilson. but was CALI
al for him. admitted he said TO MIL

couldn't quality yourself as a Juror"
Whilst Hardesty admitted he had
talked with Bane he didnt rememf
her what the conversation was. Mr.
Bane testified he had never formed
or expressed an opinion, yet he adj
mitted he had talked OF the case,
and while he had heard only one side
and from It believed Wilson was gull
ty and that 1t would require evidence
to remove this condition Of his mind,
but thought he could give him a fair
trial had he been on the jury Both
of these men qualified themselves as
jurors.
The state tried to prove the repu'
tation OF Richard Thornton. but the
truth was bad. The witnesses In.
troduced admitted they had known
Thornton for is years, and never
knew him to be guilty of telling

reputation was good instead of bad
Several afiidavits were filed by
Wilson and his attorneys that these
matters had not come TO their at
tention until after the grial, because
they had no way of finding them out.
The court was asked TO set aside
the verdict on account of the instruc-
tions for the state and refused for
the defense. Also on account OF the
verdict being contrary to the law and
evidence, and on account of the ex-
ciusion of certain evidence.

it is better to over-estimate the speed

1T looks. simply judging at this

that the pitching staff of the White
Sox will be stronger than the one OF
last season. Not only this, but We are
going to try M have a fast bunch on

With fellows like Ung!aub, who
played on the Boston Americans when
there We're some great base thiefs on
that team, and Spike Shannon, Who
was a member of the Giants under
NcGraw. who has always demanded
speed of his teams, it looks to me as
1t this is going to be a league in which
speed will count a great deal.
