In cases OF this kind; would the fact,
that the defendant is woman in
fiuence you in forming an opinion rela-
tive to her guilt or innocence; do you
observe the day commonly known as
Sunday as your Sabbath? To these
questions there were all sorts Of an
swers. A good many Of the men
seemed to feel that the defendant be-
ing a woman 1t might require little
stronger evidence to convict than II
1t was a man. Most Of them when
questioned closely however, would adj
init that they thought they could try
the case upon the law and evidence
offered. Just what Attorney Hill
means in asking regarding the Sab
bath is not known. So far as can be
learned the accused is not an Adventist.
It Is the general opinion that he does
not care to have any one on the jury
who would object to serving Saturday.

Sabbath day.
Twenty-Four Witnesses For State.
Inc state HAS .SuopoSIldeu
four witnesses to be used on direct ex-
animation, and II it is necessary FOR
rebuttal they will use as many more.
There will be the detective, handwrit-
ing experts, representative from the
Chicago catalog house where the
revolver was purchased that was used
in the death Of Chester Van Horn. the
express agents, witnesses who saw
ho
car with package, those who saw her
go in the direction OF the Chester Van
Horn house the night Of the tragedy.
etc. This is the line to be followed by
the state, according to report AS
sisting County Attorney Hill for the
state is D. w. Telford.
There is a rumor current that the
defense expects to spring big sur
prise when the time comes. The nature
of this is not known. 1t is thought
that it will be Of such a nature as to
throw all suspicious in a new and UNI
thought of direction. The attorneys
for the defendant are confident they
will be able not only to clear their
client of the crime but prove by pre-
ponderance Of evidence that she is
wrongly accused and the stigma which
has so far been attached to her will be
forever removed.
The state is not restless over this re-
port. Detective Hedin has looked into
the case from all angles and the way
the state has entered into the case
shows that there is firm bellef OF
the guilt Of the one now under arrest.
It will be remembered that on Jan.
30 last. Rollo Van Horn was arrested in
connection with this crime. He was
arrested about o'clock in the morning
and was held until Feb. 2. when he was
dismissed by the county attorney WITH
out any evidence being introduced at
the preliminary hearing. Rollo is the
younger brother of Chester van Horn,
the murdered man.

Mems Forum Of Eldora Plans Program
Of Unusual Interest.
Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, April Ex-senator William
8. Kenyon has been secured by the
Mems Forum of the Methodist church
to deliver an address at the church in
Eldora on Friday evening, April 80.
Great preparations are being made for
the meeting and those in charge are
guessing that standing room will be at
a premium. Senator Kenyon is known
as one Of the able speakers of the west
He has many warm personal friends in
Eldora and the leaders Of the Mems
Forum are to be congratulated on Sc
curing so able q speaker.
The Mans Forum was organized
about six months ago mainly thru the
efforts of the pastor of the church, Rev
Mr.. Gallagher, and has been sue
cess from the first meeting. Every
meeting brings a crowded house. The
organization as first intended was only
for men but at the request of some Of
the ladies of the church an invitation
has now been extended to the ladies'
to attend these meetings and they have
shown much interest
At one of the best meetings where
the speakers were local men, the Euro
pean war was discussed DR.. C. c..
Gethman, of Eldora, taking the part
of the Germans and Attorney Aymer
D. Davis presenting the side of the
allies. and the audience was surprised
and pleased at the able manner the
question was handled by these two
men. Another meeting often referred
to as the best to date was the one
on which Mr.. F. A. Moscrip, of the
Times Republican, delivered the main
address.
The meetings Of the Mems Forum
are held in the NJ E. church but they
are in no way church affair." and in
the meetings practically every night
are found leading members Of the
Catholic, Baptist, Congregational,
Christian and German Lutheran
churches.
A special Invitation is extended to
the Kenyon meeting, and there is to
be no charge for admission and no
collection will be taken.

under the various classificGtions as
above outlined; the balance Of tho
state was free for movements subject
to the regulations Of other states af-
ter Nov. 80.
This method OF quarantine was
carried out at the suggestion and rec
concentration OF the U. s. department
of agriculture.
You will readily note by the UNDER
lined portion Of the bill that radius
OF five miles only could be held in
quarantine for ten days and therenf-
ter radius OF three miles only. No
exposed. modified, or restricted areas
could be held In quarantine. In this
event the requirements of U. s. de-
partment Of agriculture could not be
met and would result in quarantine
by government that would affect the
live stock industry of the entire state,
as evidenced the following copy Of a
telegram from A. D. Melvin, chief Ut
the bureau OF animal industry:
If quarantine bill releases whole
state after publication. the only con-
troll this department could exercise
would be quarantine the whole state.
Such action would be very disastrous
to live stock owners and under present
law wholly unnecessary. My opinion
is that authority to establish extent of
quarantine territory should be left with
commission as area should be in
creased or decreased as necessary to
control spread Nof disease"
