Der 6, last. is on trial for his freedom,
or mayhap, his life, in the Circuit

Sam, young negro of particularly
black skin and kinkly hair, is natur-
ally the most interest puss0n in the
cot rum" and is following closely
the examination given prospective
jurors by both his counsel and attor-
neys for the state. The defense is in
the hands of T. w. Smuri, while the
prosecution is being ably handled by
States Attorney George s. Wiley and
his assistant, Fl. c. Wiley.
The defendants legal advisor will
use selt-defense as his plea for elem
ency for his client He will set forth
that the shooting of Marlborough the
day before national election, was not
90 one-sided rs the prosecution will
try to make it. He may be able to
make an impressive one upon the jur-
ors, but the state is content with the
case 1t has worked up against Rich
ardson. 1t will claim that the killing
of Marlborough was one of the most
thoroly premeditated affairs ever
pulled off in La Sale county.
Mr.. Smurr hints that he will show
there was fight before the shooting,
in which Richardson's forehead was
punctured by a knife hurled at him
by the man he later killed He also
will claim there were two guns in
evidence at the time of the shooting,
and that Richardson was forced to
protect himself in order to save his
own life
| The prosecution has evidence to
show that Richardson went to hard
ware store in Streator and purchased
a brand new revolver and then sailed
forth with the avowed purposes OF
finding and getting Marlborough and
succeeded in both purposes.
! Quite few of Streator's dark
town society is on hand to take part

state or for the defense. They oc-
cupy seats in the audience section OF

Richardson has been prisoner at
the county pail since the night OF
the shooting. Contrary to the usual
run of prisoners who have been five
or six months in cells, none Of the so
called prison pallor" has left its
