Final Testimony Beng Taken in Judge
McClupe's Court.

Final Testimony in the case of the
state against Ray Asher, charged with
completely in the theft of a Ford car
from w. M. Haney, of Shorey, last
July, was being taken today before
the jury in Judge James A. McClure,s
division of the district court. The case
was expected to go. to the jury late
today.
Asher has constantly protested his
innocence and asserts that he went to
Omaha, where he is alleged to have
driven the car with E. w. Clark and
another YOUTH on the tratn. In Omaha
Clark and Asher were arrested in con-
nection with the murder of an Omaha
man last September. Clark vas
charged with the crime and Asher is
said have served as a state witness
against him. Asher contends that it
was because of this, and thru a de-
sire of vegeance, that Clark testified
against him concerning the theft of
the car.
Clark was acquitted by a jury in
Omaha, but during the time they were
in jail there both youths confessed to
the theft of Haney's car in Topeka, it
is alleged. Asher denies that he ever
confessed, altho several state witnesses
swore that they read an affidavit
signed by him in which he admitted
stealing the car with Clark and the
other youth. The affidavit was after
wards lost, according to County Attor-
ney Veale.
Clark denies that he testified against
Asher in the present trial thru de-
sire to "get even"
