MCLAUGHLIN SPEAK ING SATURDAY DREW
 A LARGE CROWD
Courthouse Filled to Capacity Saturday Afternoon When w. J. and Kie Mclaughlin Make Talks.

Pursuant to notices printed in the local newspapers, a meeting was called at the court house Saturday afternoon by w. J. and kie Mclaughlin with respect to the trial and conviction of Neal Mclaughlin, tried and con- victed in the Franklin county court of criminal assault and sentenced to be electrocuted, but whose sentence was May 10th commuted to life imprisonment. The meeting was almost wholly lacking in the sensational fea- lures which many people had been led to expect. The general impression of those who attend ed the meeting was that very little was gained by the occasion, which, however, was attended by both friends and enemies of the family. The principal object of the meeting seemed to be to enlist the aid of the people of Franklin county in securing NeaPs freedom by pardon.
 kie Mclaughlin. a brother of Neal, made the introductory talk reading several sections from the constitution of the state of Arkansas, purporting to show that right was theirs to meet for the common good and well fare of the people. w. J, Mo- Laughlin, father of Neal. made the principal talk, giving a brief history of the life of his son and matters leading up to the pres ent trouble in which he became involved. In the outstart he said they were not looking for revenge nor trouble, but all they were asking for was justice which they felt had somewhat miscarried in their case. While his talk was but for their side, in the most part it was of a reasonable and conservative tone. Rather severe criticism of some of the officials thought to be responsible for the convic- tion of his son was made, he reading parts of the law endeav- bring to show that they had in certain cases exceeded their au- thority.
 The meeting was closed after

SCHEFFER CASE JURY VERDICT FAV0RS
 THE DEFENDANT
Much Talked of Case Dispos- ed of Wednesday After noon in Justice Townsend's Court.

After deliberating about fif- teen minutes, the jury in the case of the State of Arkansas versus F. A. Schaeffer, charged with cruelty whipping his five year-old adopted daughter. Doro- thy, returned a verdict of not guilty in Justice B. M. Town sends court Tuesday afternoon. The trial occupied about three hours time and considerable speculation was rife as to the outcome of the suit.
 Mrs. J. c. Bridges was the first witness called to the stand who swore that on the date charged in the information May 25th-she was attracted by the cries of the child and later saw defendant cruelty whipping her. the weapons used being three mulberry sprouts. Witness further testified that the sight became unbearable to her and that she went into the house while defendant was still whip ping the child. She also testi- fled that later she saw marks on the legs of the little girl.
 The next witness called was Mrs. s. H. Bell who testified that she had lived in Ozark all her life and that she resided across the alley from the de- fendant and that she saw de- fendant unmercifully whip the child with two switches. Wit ness next testified that she saw defendant pick the child up and carry her into the house. When asked if she was aware of any previous mistreatment of the child, witness stated that she was not.
 Mrs. Cooper who lives near the Scheffer home testified that she heard the child crying about 9 or 10 o'clock on the morning of the 18th, that she could hear some one whipping the child, but did not see Mir. Scheffer nor the child. She further stated that she saw the child that afternoon and that she also saw three or four stripes on the child's right leg about the knee. She also stated that the marks could be seen two or three days afterward. She said that she was not aware of any previous of the child.
 Defendant was next called to the stand, stating that he had resided in the city of Ozark about Is months and that Doro- thy Scheffer whom it was alleg- ed he had cruelty beaten was his adopted daughter. He freely told of the circumstances that led up to her adoption. He further stated that the child was very frail and that 1t was n"ces sary that he and Mrs. Schntfer keep on the alert at all times to prevent her from eating things that did not agree with her. He admitted whipping the child. but stated that words had failed and that the child had told him a story and the whipping was ad- ministered as a lesson to her. she being of a disposition that necessitated his being firm and using something more harsh than words to impress upon the child's mind the idea of right and wrong. He stated that he did not intend to whip her hard and that when he hit her below the dress on the leg he did so by accident and when he saw that he did so he immediately took the child up and carried her into the house, and placing her on the bed began to pet her.
