JUDGES RULING
FAV0RS DEFENSE
Judge Davis viii Not Allow -eonver
sations Between Reeder and Ray
Pfanschmidt to Stand
in Record.
DOUBT AS TO NEXT MOVE
Whether Court viii Allow state to
prove That Pfanschmidt Had
Less Than $1,000 in Bank
Is Question.

PRINCETON, H., Feb. 3.-Counsel
for the defense in the Ray Transatlantic
murder trial yesterday scored their
biggest victory since the beginning OF
the case when Judge Joe Davis re-
fused to admit as evidence the con-
versatfons between the defendant
and Daniel Reeder.
It also became known that r. W.
C. Kaempen, father OF Miss Emma
Kaempen, for whose murder Pfan-
schmidt is being tried, will not be al
lowed to testify In the present trial
He is ruled out because the defense
was not notified that he was to be
witness.
His son, Emil Kaempen, brother
OF the dead girl, testified yesterday,
however. He told Of removing the
bodies and identifying that OF his
sister.
Harry Thompson was the first Wit
ness to testify as to examining the
imprint of the horses foot in the
Pfanschmidt barn yard. He declared
that the imprint and the shoe with
the peculiarly shaped lug on the de-
PENDANTS horse corresponded exactly.
He said he examined the horse shoe
as the team stood in the shed on
Sunday. The defense spent more than
an hour trying to shatter his testi-
mony, but the effort was useless.
Rules For Defense.
The conversation between the de-
PENDANT and Daniel Reeder which
was ruled out, occurred at the Reed
er home on Sunday afternoon. the
day the fire was discovered, as has
been shown by previous testimony
Mr.. Reeder, when the defendant
asked that the formers daughter be
allowed to accompany him on drive
to his grading camp, remarked:
cray, don't you know you are UNI
der suspicion for the crime? They
have started talking about you al.
ready and 1 don't want Esther and
you to be seen together until the
murder has been cleared. Some men
have been hung on less evidence and
those tracks in the barn lot were
made by your horse and buggy. This
was the substance OF the converse
ton.
Mr.. Reeder later allowed his daugh-
ter to accompany the defendant upon
promise that they return in short
time. The evidence shows that the
COuDl0 ICIuIuSu ldtCA Il1ou WI AsCSN
or anticipated, at about 10 O'clock
Mr.. Reeder also remarked during
the conversation with the defendant
sometime previous, that Ray Pfan-
schmidt when he asked for his daugh-
ter's hand In marriage said: 81 am no
pauper. I have $4,000 in the bank"
Judge Davis also refused to allow
Mr. Reeder to testify as to this talk.
other Rulings SILL In Doubt.
It is not known just what ruling
will be made when the state attempts
to show that Ray Pfanschmidt did
not have $4,000 in the bank, that his
account at the State Street bank
was overdrawn to the extent of sew
eral thousand dollars, that he had
been losing money on the Frese con-
tract, that notes were overdue at the
State Street bank, that he was in
debted to the Cottrell hardware store
and that he had contracted for the
shipment of two automobiles.

MARSHAL ALVIS PREVENTS
 ANOTHER SERIOUS FIGHT

Another bad fight was narrowly prevented by the interference of
 Marshal Avis, Saturday morning. on the streets of Springdale This time, Jack Phillips, Jim Phillips, John
 Phillips, all brothers, R. L. Gosneu, Lonia Phillips and Onnie Phillips were somewhat mixed up in the strange affair. From the report s given by all parties to the affair. it seems to have been a discussion be- tween Jack Phillips and k. L. Cos nell, over mortgage Mr Gosnell has on q mare belonging to Mr Phil
 lips.
 A discussion. in which Jack Phil lips charged Mr Gosnen with forg- ing the name Of another mare in the mortgage, grew rather heated, nd 1t is alleged that Jack Phillips and Mir. Gosnell attempted to strike each other.

city and on one occasion, caused quite commotion by running back to Springdale, for a few hours.
 Finally when Marshal Avis, the one peac,. officer in Springdale to whom it $ good citizens look for pro- lection, was brought before the courts for defending his own life, the prosecuting attorney, John Coombs, deputy prosecuting at torney Allen Flowers, and ex=dep- nty prosecuting attorney John Mayes, were all there to try and bind Al- wis over to the Grand Jury.
 But few weeks Later, when Avis, while performing his duty as all of ficer, was called into dark room and unmercifully beaten, without cause (according to the defendants own testimony the case Was beneath the notice of our prosecuting attorn- ey and deputy Flowers comes in, alone, and puts up tIe weakest fight eYer crammed off on an intelligent crowd, then stands by without pro test, while the mayor gives one man SO, and disnisses all the rest with out further investigation
 You will do well to bean i'll mind that this disgraceful inhamane scene of barbarism was staged in Springdale on the same day. and Was identical with one staged in Ft. Smith. for which the two defend ants. in the latter city. drew $1.o00 and one year in jail each, while in Springdale one man receives $50 and three are turned loose without trial
 IL is our judgment that SO long as the officials of our city and coun- ty wink at these things, they will continue
 But since all this trouble has been e8a ed by less than dozen men, who have been led to believe by the conduct of our officials, that they have official support, We believe if this official support is withdrawn, and given to the officers who are trying to enforce the law, our city will be as peaceful and quiet as any Of her neighbors.

 Here is the endorsement:
 From tn Citizens of Springdale to the General Public:
 We, the undersigned, are deeply grieved at the conduct of some of our fellow townsmen, the past few months. We have been humiliated and the good name of our town has been dragged in the mire.
 But We would rather clean up, than cover up:
 Therefore, be it known to the off cials of Springdale and Washington County. and to the public generally, that we endorse the attitude of the editor of The Springdale News, in giving these things to the public, and so long as he confines himself to facts, as he has done in the past We are ready to defend him and his paper.
