MANY STORIES REpUDIATED

gram.)-At the preliminary trial OF Fred
Luff today before County Judge letters
Tor the assault on Nels Nelson all evil
dence as to the action of the bloodnounds
In trailing from the Nelson home to the
Luff home was excluded. The county
judge stated that he believed he was
bound by the decision Of the supreme
court, which excludes such evidence
Miss Mary Peterson was the principal
witness for the state today. She testified
that she had formerly kept company with
Fred Luff. She stated tina she refused
marry him and started to keeping COM
pary with Nels Nelson on October g. She
said she saw Luff on the streets of Mar
quette and he told her he would shoot
her In two weeks. This was the only
threat she had ever heard Luff make.
She repudiated tine stories that have been
circulated in this county that huff had
threatened to do violence to Nelson
Fifteen other Admirers.
Miss Peterson stated that she tod Mel
son of this threat on oct Der O. that be-
ing the date on which she first went out
with Nelson. She declared that she told
this threat to but one other person prior
to the assault on Nelson. Cross-exami-
nation developed that she has had about
fifteen other young men of Marquette as
admirers during the last year. 1t seemed
to be the theory of the defense that some
one of these admirers had been guilty OF
the assault on Nelson, the shooting of
Luff and the burning of Nelson's shed.
Chris Fedderson, sr.; Chris Fedderson,
jr.; Peter Thomson, Vigo Thomson. oscar
Larson. Chris Anderson and c. A. Stew
art were the other witnesses examined To-
day. not one OF whom gave any damag
ing evidence against Luff So far the
evidence of the state that connects Luff
with the assault on Nelson is not suffi-
cient to permit his being bound over.
The state announced tonight that it
would call Sheriff John Powell, Deputy
Sheriff Steve Powell and r. M. Fulton
of Beatrice tomorrow. The latter is the
owner of the bloodhounds which were
used here.
The testimony of the sheriff and his
deputy will be as to the finding of a boot
mark in the road. The state will attempt
to show that this boot mark was made by
the rubber boot Of Luff which is in evil
dence.
