DEFENSE BLOCKS MOVE TO GET BLOOD STAINED GARMENT
 INTO CRAIG TRIAL.
WOMAN'S SCREAM WAS HEARD
State Presents First Part of the Xvi dence by Which it Expects to Prove Dr. Craig Killed pr. Helen Knabe, Furnishing Its Motive.

Shelbyyille, Ind, Dec. 4.-The state continued to present testimony today to support it's theory of murder and to fasten the crime on Dr William E. Craig, who is on trial here charged With the killing of Dr. Helene Knabe
 Three witnesses swore this after. noon that they heard the scream of a woman in the vicinity of Dr Knabe's apartment some time after midnight on the night of her deatih. Joseph Carr, one of these witnesses, who was passing the apartment building at the time, said that a few moments later he encountered a man who was hold. ing a handkerchief over his nose walking briskly out of the alley in the rear of the structure
 Carr said the man was about five feet nine inches in height and weigh ed about 180 pounds. Dr. Craig measures six feet one inch and weighs more than 200 pounds.
 Mrs Mary Elizabeth Vail Powell, who occupied the flat directly above Dr. Knabe, testified that she heard screams between midnight and one o'clock. She said the cries seemed to come from about block south. Jefferson Haines, negro janitor who slept in basement room direct ly under Dr. Knabe's bedroom, tes tified he was awakened by something falling in the room above him. This sound was follnwed by scream, h. said, and then he heard light foot steps above
 In an effort to establish motive for the alleged murder, the prosecu tion intrrdouced Miss Katherine Fleming, of Avon, Ind, who admitted that Dr. Craig had been attentive to her for the past three years. Miss Fleming denied, however. that any engagement existed between them.
 Judge Blair blocked an attempt by the prosecution to get Dr. Knabe' s bloodstained kimono before the jury through the testimony of chemist who examined the garment. AlonZo M. Ragsdale, an undertaken, was in- dicted jointly with pr. Craig because the kimono was found in his posses sion. The court ruled that the stat must first show some connection be- tween Craig and Ragsdale before the kimono would be competent evidence.
 Two of the states most important witnesses are yet to be heard. They are Miss Katherine McPherson, the office girl who discovered Dr. Knabe's body, and Augusta Knabe,, the doctors cousin and the first per son summoned to the apartment after the discovery.
