MURDER TRIAL
District Court DevOtes Two Days to
Trial of Most Important Grim
inal Case for Years.

The trial of Albert Sheneman for
the murder of James Garrett last
spring in a QUARREL over line fence
was held in the district court last Fri
day and Saturday lasting until nearly
two o'clock Sunday morning. The
men lived on adjoining ranches in the
southeast part of the county and had
disputed for some time over the To-
cation of line fence. Garrett was on
horse back when shot and the bullet
entered his side. There was no dis
pute about SheneInan having fired the
shot, the defense claiming though that
it was fired in self-defense. Garrett
dying statement made in Holly where
he was taken for medical treatment
was part of the evidence as well as
the clothes he wore at thetime showing
how the bullet entered his body. The
trial was ably handled by District At
torney Hawley and Judge Hillyer for
the state ard Judge McHendrie and
Alfred Todd for the defense. All day
Friday was taken in securing jury
and the evening was given over to the
opening statements of the counsel.
Most of the day Saturday WIS taken
spent in closing addresses of the at
torneys. Judge McChesney, who pre-
sided, summed up the law in the case
to the jury and then informed the at
torneys that they must divide the time
SO as to be through before midnight
or the case would go over until Mon
day. District Attorney Hawley made
an able presentation of the facts for
the state and was followed by Attor-
ney Todd in a clear statement of the
defendants claims of justification. A
large crowd had gathered in spite of
the late hour to hear the closing ad-
dresses of the well known orators,
Judges McHendric and Hillyer. who
had agreed to divide equally the hour
and half remaining. Judge McHen-
dries plea for the defense was elo-
quent and made an evident impression
on the jury. Judge Hillyer's closing
tuurcSS lOT the St<ttSy Ho"tNcif "oo
pronounced by all who heard it one
of the most convincing and eloquent
court addresses ever heard in this sec
ton Of the state. At the close Judge
McChesney offered the jury the privi-
lege Of sleeping before considering the
case if they desired, but Juror Eli w.
Gregg announced that they preferred
to consider it at once and the court
announced that it would remain in ses-
sion several hours to hear their report
if they could reach an agreement. The
jury was out little over a half hour
and brought in a verdict of murder
in the second degree. There was still
large crowd of interested spectators
present when the verdict was cnnounc-
ed. Attorney Todd for the defense
made motion for new trial and was
granted ten days to prepare same be-
fore the defendant is sentenced.

that the real reason why the farmers
were opposed to the daylight saving

became necessary for the farmers to
wake up the roosters. No farmer re-
fishes the task Of going out each
morning while the moon is still rid

barnyard full of roosters off the
perch. So there was nothing to do
but repeal the law.
