Whynaks Divorce Petition as Evil
dence-Every seat in the court room
was taken when the trial of Johann
Whynak was resumed yesterday and
over a score of people were standing.
Practically all of the spectators were
men but there were many women and
several young girls. Whynak was not
at all nervous. He was as collected
and cool as possible. He was dressed
the same as Saturday, wearing a dark
workman's suit, heavy shoes and
soft blue shirt without collar. He
had been shaved. Whynak's cross-eX-
animation by the state was begun i'm
mediately on Judge Theophilus call
ing the case TO order at o'clock yes
terday afternoon. Assistant County
Attorney Becker did the questioning.
The prisoner told of his application for
divorce and of engaging Attorney
Henry H. Jebens to secure it for him.
He testified that he had paid the law
yer SO. A copy of the petition drawn
up and signed May IS, 1914, was shown
the witness. He identified his sigma
ture on the petition. When he was
asked on cross-examination whether he
was sure of the date Whynak picked up
the document, written in English as it
was. and carefully perused it before an
swering: 1T must be the date be-
cause it is so written on the paper
here" According to the prisoners
testimony he expected that he would
secure a divorce the first week in June.
It was on June 6 that the tragedy re-
sulting in the present trial, occurred.
Following this examination the state
moved to introduce the divorce petition
in testimony as Exhibit F. The at
torneys for the defense made no objec-
ton. He admitted that he had brought
the divorce proceedings after the two
had agreed to separate and divide
their household effects.

Obituary Record-Frank Cope, well
known in pharmaceutical circles
throughout the state and popular
Davenport druggist, died at 1855
o'clock Sunday night at his home in
the Columbus flats on East Sixth
street Death followed a short illness,
resulting from erysipelas. The infec-
ton was contracted about 10 days ago
and is stated to have been caused by
Mr. Cope pulling an irritating hair out
of his nose, as is a common custom
with many people. Tie malady soon

EXPECT TO SELL
The WHOLE HOUSE
Season Tickets for Augustana
Lyceum Will Be offered
Friday.

Reports from the many agencies en-
gagged in the sale of season tickets for
the Augustana college Iyceum course
indicate that few il any, seats will be
open for single admissions after the
reservations on next Friday and Sat
urday. Last year all but forty seats
were sold on season tickets, and in
view of the fact that this years course
is much bigger and decidedly better
than any ever offered before, IL is
reasonable to believe that every seat
will be taken by Saturday night.
In past years, II has always been diff
ficult for persons not connected with
Augustana. to procure satisfactory
seats, since ii was formerly the Gus
tom to make all reservations at the
college on the same day. Experience,
however. has found this plan inconven-
lent to resident lyceum patrons. Con-
sequently the manager has arranged
to make reservations for local people
the day before seats are reserved at
the college. This plan was first used
last year and proved to be very sue
cessful. Season tickets can therefore
be reserved at the Tri-City Piano Com
pany. or at the Cable Music House
on Friday. October II.
The course will open next Monday
night with a lecture by Professor Mon
traville Z. Wood of Chicago. on the
latest electrical discoveries and inven-
tons, which will include demonstra-
tons OF the gyroscope. the monorail
car and the ultraviolet ray.
This lecture is something strikingly
new and absorbingly interesting in the |
way of a scientific exposition.
