trial and Attorneys Daugherty and
Schradzki, appointed by the court, are
defending him and making a very in
genious job Of it.
The first witness against Lewis was
a man named Benson, special agent
for the railroad, who triumphantly pro-

had been shipped in the car. Right
there a snag was encountered, for all
he knew about the bill of lading was
that he went to the Office in Rock Is
