CASE AGAINST CLEAR LAKE
WOMAN CHARGED WITH
MURDER OPENS MONDAY.
SPECIAL JURY vENiRE
ORDERED BY JUDGE
Mrs. Van Horn Finally Decides Not to
Enter Plea Of Insanity But to In.
sist on Showing Her innoeenee-No
Change Of Venue Demanded-hard
Legal Battle to Be Waaed.
:peeial to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, April 22.-All is now in
readiness for the trial of Mrs. Char
lotte Van Horn, indicted for the muir
der of her husband. Chester Van Horn.
Monday at O'clock Judge Edwards, OF
Parkersburg. will take up the case.
Realizing it's Importance special
venire of twenty-five has been issued.
This will make a total panel Of sixty
five jurymen and out Of this number
1t is thought a jury of twelve can be
selected without trouble.
At first there was some talk OF get
ting a change of venue on account OF
prejudice against he defendant, ou@
there is no talk along this line at pres
ent. Mrs Van Horn will arrive in the
city Saturday from the sanatorium at
Des Moines. She will probably go to
the home of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Callahan, at Clear Lake and
remain there until the trial She Is
out on $4,000 bonds furnished by her
father and brother. Out OF the special
venire called for this case sixteen are
residents Of cities or towns and only
nine are from the country. 1t was
thought at first that Judge Edwards
would ask that the entire panel be Sc
lected from the towns on account OF
farmers just now being SO busily en-
gagged with their work. Over half OF
the panel are residents of Mason City.
Detective Charles Hed;n. of the
Pinkerton agency, is now in the city.
The case is circumstantial thruout and
il has been largely thru his efforts that
the chain of evidence has been secured
upon which the state believe con-
viction is warranted. County Attorney
l.. A. Hill will be assisted by former
County Attorney D. w. Telford and by
Judge Frank Chambers.
This is the fifth woman tried for
murder in the for.y years history Of
this county. 1t will be a legal battle
from start to finish. Mrs. Van Horn.
while it is believed she would stand a
good chance OF being cleared of the
crime on the insanity plea, insists that
she is not guilty and desires that the
case be presented to the jury on its
real merits.

tention to sell in this manner and the
supposition is that he has had legal
advice and it came from the manufac-
turers of cigarets from whom he buys.
County Attorney Hill says that the
matter has been brought to his atten-
ton and while he is not just ready to
state what will be done he SAYS the
grand jury is now in session and the
people are likely to hear from them IN
very short time. The sale of cigar
cts would be made in original pack
age Just as liquor was sold in the state
OF Iowa at one time.

car collided with car driven by
James Eby. 1t was not thought that
much damage was done to the car. The
drivers fixed UP matters and Mr.. Witte
cranked up his car, jumped in, and
started it up. It was then found that
the wish bone to the steering gear had
been badly bent and before he could
stop the car 1t turned on him and
plunged over the embankment. Miss
Witte had her arm broken and her face
pretty badly damned. and her mother
was quite badly shaken up. Both
women were taken to the hospital.
Neither of the men was hurt.

JITNEv OWNER TO QUIT.
Cedar Rapids Operator Says State
Law Puts Hin. Out Of Business.

Nooar haptoS operator says Stdse
Law Puts Hin. Out Of Business.
Cedar Rapids, April 22.-The jitney
is to quit. Mayor Roth. with tremor
in his voice, announced the news today
Had he told Of some great catastrophe
in which millions of human kind had
been swept from the fact of the earth
by the forces of nature, the blow
could not have been received with
greater awe. It came as a thunder
bolt from clear sky; its force was
terrific and where once the sun shone
so brightly there was nothing left but
clouds and there was not one with
silver lining. All the JOY was taken
out of life, even the singing Of the
birds was not as joyous: there was
not a rift thru which a moonbean
might find its way. The clang OF the
street car bells sounded just like they
were ringing the funeral dirge. The
councilmen had a faraway look in
their eyes and there was suspicion
of moisture under the fiuttering lids
when the blow fell.
The mayor had had talk with r
R Walters, who owns and operates
Cedar Rapids only jitney line. Mr.
Walters was certain that he would
not be able to continue operations
after the new state law went into eff
feet, because It requires continuous
operation from s a. m. to IL O'Clock,
midnight, which means that another
operator would have to be employed
In addition to this a heavy bond is
required and its cost would be almost
prohibitive. Mr.. Walters did not be-
lieve he could meet the conditions inn
posed by the state law and he in
formed the mayor that he guessed he
would quit. He probably will ask the
council for refund of the unused part
of his license.
There is some doubt about when the
new law goes into effect, whether on
the day Of publication or on July 4.
But when it does Mr.. Walters prob
ably will be ready to throw up the
sponge. as he says there is a good
living in the business for one man
and one man only and IL he is COM
PEELED to hire man there will be
nothing left.
Two other men who contemplate OPP
Grating jitney lines have made appli-
cation to the mayor for licenses, but
on his advice they were held off until
copy of the new law is received and
the city ordinance is revised and the
provisions of the law are Incorporated
1t is believed that il Walters quits the
field others will hesitate before enter
ing 1t.

Ackley, April 92.-Edward Sawyer.
a we'll known citizen of this town, had
his left ear nearly torn from his head
Tuesday, and is giving thanks that his
life was spared, huge block from the
windmill at his home falling and strik-
ing him on the side Of the head. The
block, containing several large iron
bolts, fell a distance of about thirty
five feet and luckily only caught Mr..
Sawyer a glancing blow. His ear was
almost entirely torn from his head but
was replaced by local surgeon who
sewed the appendage in place and gave
assurance that his hearing would not
be materially affected. A two inch
deviation toward Mr.. Sawyer's skull by
the bolck would have crushed his
skull.
