JURORS SHOWN
INJURED HEAD
OF FRED wade
Or. Treynor Explains How
Blow Destroyed Speech Gen.
ter in Mind of Bluffs
Assault Victim.

DR.. VII Treynor, Council Bluffs
surgeon, who operated on Fred
Wade, and has been supervising
the development of a new speech
center in the injured mans brain,
was one of the principal witnesses
for the state yesterday during the
trial of Fred Runyon, charged with
responsibility for Wade's condition,
and indicted for assault with intent
to commit murder
The blow that crushed Wade's
skull completely destroyed the
speech center in the brain, and the
process of establishing a new one
has necessitated teaching the in
jured man to talk as babe is
taught.
DR.. Treynor presented Wade to
the jury and explained the nature
of the injuries. He removed the
bandages and Showed the great hole
cut in the skull to lift the crushed
bone from the brain. 81
Wade Interested.
Wade took the keenest interest
and seemed trying to grasp all that
was being said, but such phrases as
Broca commissions, cerebral conees-
tons and blood clots were too
heavy for him, and had depress-
ing effect. He frightened, however,
when the common words he has
been taught to utter were used.
The story was brought out, how
ever, that Runyon returned after
midnight and became angry when
he found the house filled with peo-
pie having a good time. Mrs. Run
yon admitted on the stand that she
was not Fred Runyon's wife al
though living in the house with
him, but was the divorced wife of
his brother Dan Mrs. Runyon re-
luctantly admitted that Runyon up
braided her and struck her in the
face, and that it was Wade's re
to Runyon that subse-
quently led to the assault.
