CURTIS DECLARES
HAT FOUND IN HIS
HONE OWNED BY
JOE GREISINGER

The grey felt hat found IN the
Curtis home on the morning of July
3, 1917. was positively identified this
morning by Freeman Curtis as be-
longing to Joseph Crsisinger. hts
neighbor farmer, on trial IN the cass
county district court for the alleged
attempt to take the life Of Curtis.
Freeman Curtis, complaining witt
ness in the action brought by the
state on 3 change Of venue from
Griggs county at the request of the
defendant, was placed under direct
examination this morning. being the
second witness the state has called
since the trial started last Wednes-
day morning. The hat was the same
one which Mrs. Inga Robbins. star
witness for the state, testified be-
longed to Greisinger.
The complaining witness told un-
der the questions asked by Attorney
Lee Coombs OF Valley City, chief
counsel for the state, of Greisinger
showing him the hat some time be-
fore the tragedy and that he had
seen it q number OF times and that
it was always in the possession OF
Greisinger. The Identification of the
hat was furthe rmade possible, ac-
cording to the witness, because it
was mice-eaten. The witness testi-
fed that he saw the hat ON a chair
near a curtain in his house on July
8, after the shooting. Mrs. Robbins
in her testimony given under cross
examination Thursday morning stat
ed that she saw the hat on a lounge.
Both Mrs. Robbins and Curtis were
positive In their Identification Of the
exhibit.
Bullet 10 Introduced.
The bullet, which 1t Is alleged by
the state was fired by Joseph Greis-
niger, not only proved an object OF
interest in the crowded court room
this morning but became q little
plaything as It passed from one att
torney,s hands to another. Twice it
dropped on the floor and each time
the men in the box laughed. Attorney
B. @. Tenneson, assisting counsel
for the defense, made the remark
that he didn't think 1T was damaged
any by the falls.
Freeman Curtis reclted the details
OF the events leading up to the shoot
ing corroborating the story as told
by Mrs. Robbins Thursday morning
and again in her cross examination
Curtis testified that he did not see
his haif-brother md the bullet but
that when IL was shown to him ne
made two marks on IL with q pen
knife in order to be able to identify
II. He testified that he never had

The Things We Leave Undone
1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
That gives you a bit of the heartache
At the setting Of the sun.
. The tender word forgotten:
The letter you did not write;
The flower you did not send, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way;
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch Of the hand, dear,
The gentle, winning tones,
Which you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own
Those little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind,
Those chances to be angels
Which we poor mortals find.
They come IN night and silence,
Each sad, reproachful wrath,
And hope is faint and tagging,
And a chill has fallen on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives you bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
