IN THE CIRCUIT COURT

DR.. Green of the state sanitarium
for the insane, Chattahoochee, went
on the witness stand in the circuit
court yesterday afternoon to give ex-
pert testimony in the Hough case
which has been on since the early part
of last week.
1t was the intention of the court TO
hold a night session last night but
protest from the jury caused an or
der for a recess until this morning.
Several members of the jury said
that the strain from sitting day after
day in constant attendance and lis
tening to witnesses was such that
they did not consider it part of their
duty to double up and do night ser
vice at the risk of physical break
down. The Judge when he found the
sentiment of the jury in the matter
did not order a night session.
DR.. Green again took the stand this
forenoon and upon completion of his
testimony the state attorney, Mr..
Stokes, addressed the jury. He made
a splendid address, taking the testi-
mony of each witness and analizing
it in manner which showed that he
had his argument we'll in hand
throughout.
Messrs. Bullock and Landis for the
defense have been presenting their
arguments this afternoon, and it now
thought that the state will conclude
late this afternoon by Attorney Dav-
is presentation of the case
From present indications the Judge
viii give his charge to the jury to-
night.
The case has been a hard fought
one, and the attorneys on both sides
have apparently exhausted every op-
portunity to win the case. And the
members of the jury will no doubt
be glad to retire to their rooms and
begin their duties at finding a YER
dict as soon as the court has con-
cluded the final charge.

Those Crafty Missourans

Missourians from the "show-me"
state have added to their reputation
for craftiness. They were strong for
the tariff when democrats were being
elected on the primary issue of that
much discussed subject, but now that
the Wilson tariff has played such hav-
oc with American industries and is
directly charged with the industrial
depression, loss of employment and
general hard times, Missourians have
quit talking tariff and the whole
"houn' dog" pack has gone barking
after another isue. This time it is
good roads"
Even Congressman Shackelford, one
of the craftiest of those from the
Champ Clark state and who was a
member of the ways and means COM
mittee which made the democratic
tariff law, has withdrawn from that
committee and has taken the chair
manship of the roads committee. 1t
IL he who is leading the Misourians in
full due and cry on the good roads
question. But they say the Missouri
voters are demanding to be shown the
reason for this sudden change, SO the
Missouri congressman are doubtful of
their craftiness.

Leaks from. the democratic cloak

congressman that few democrats will

donment by the Wilson administra-

the northwest.

to protect the telephone operator.
Traffic will not be interrupted, said
Mr.. Levy, either in passenger or
