Whaley Given New Trial.

Judge Fry Friday filed an order grant
ing new trial to Marion Whaley, con-
victed in the last term of court Of as
sualt with intent to commit rape and
under an indeterminate sentence of
twenty years In the penitentiary.
The verdict convicting Whaley was
arrived at by the jury in casting lots,
the affidavits of six jurymen being
offered by the defendant to this effect
in asking a new trial. This being
clearly illegal, the county attorney
made no resistance, hence the ruling
for new trial.
The defense, in its motion, also claim
newly discovered evidence. Whaley was
indicted on the charge Of rape, alleged
to have been committed on the person
of Florence Browning. Presumably
Whaley will be tried at the next term
of court, which convenes Nov. II.
Whaley is still in Jail, though he
expects to get bail.

TO END CORN PICK
ING IN Two WEEKS
County Agent Estimates
Yield Here at Fifty
Bushels.

While corn picking in the county has
been delayed somewhat by the heavy
rains Of Saturday night and Sunday,
it is believed the farmers will complete
the work in approximately two weeks.
County Agent Chris Christensen
states that the average yield per acre
for Hamilton county will be fifty bu-
shells. AS the average yield for the
state has been estimated at only thirty
five bushels per acre, this county will
exceed that by almost fifteen bushels
to the acre.
