men in the poultry business today.

A private detective who said that
he had been employed by Mrs. Nurn-

Mrs. Dietz on a number of occasions
when they had clandestine meetings.
The private detective who told of
following Mrs. Dietz and Nurnberg,
also testified that Mrs. Nurnberg sus-
pected her husband of familiarity
with Mrs. Dietz. She used to listen
on her switch to Nurnberg's CONVEX
sations with Mrs. Dietz over the tele-
phone, he said. When Nurnberg
learned of this, the detective said, he
caused the telephone extension to his
living rooms over the harness shop
to be taken out. Mrs. Nurnberg then
employed an electrician to tap the
wire on the roof and conceal fer her
a private extension in her bath room
where she continued to overhear
Nurnberg's talks over the telephone.
Nurnberg was very nervous Sunday
the day before Dietz was killed, &C

He was so nervous that he dropped

a practicing attorney at Washburn,
and has had business dealings with
many of the persons who are involved
