 Attempts To T Take His Life

 Judge Maltbde did not rule on the motion of Judge Carlson for Schutte for setting aside the verdict. The court said that he appreciated the point raised by Judge Carlson of all legged 1nsufhcdency of evidence and de- sired to continue consideration of the motions which had been filed. The court said, however, that he saw no reason for delay in imposing sen tence.
 Schutte was called to the bar and asked if he cared to say anything be- fore sentence was passed upon him for murder of Joseph, Mary and Jacob Ball. Schutte replied in a firm voice.
 He said that he had been robbed of his lands, and his money and bonds worth 1000, and my family 'I swear by God Almighty that I | never burned the Ball family and l am absolutely innocent
 The sentence was then imposed. When court opened Judge Carlson argued in behalf of the motions he | filed last week. He declared that the evidence was insufficient to convict | Schutte and said that aside from that given by Julius, the second son, there was not enough evidence to show that | this man committed the murders l States Attorney 1nglis did not reply. | The court said that he would further ! consider the contention.
 Judge Carlson, it is understood, ex- poets to enter an appeal if the verdict | is not set aside and carry the case to | the Supreme Court of Errors.
