Valley City, JAM. 25.-The trial

Procedure by the Defense

! Procedure by the Defense
Speculation as to the steps the de.
fense will ltake in seeking to estab.
lish the innocence Of GUNNER has
been rife ever since the case opened
AS Judge W. H. Bartlett, counsel
for the defense, said to press repre-
sentative, "Our defense is that Cum
prove that he did" -.
In other words, when the states
case is complete, the probabilities are
that the defense will make motion
for an order OF the court directing
that GUNNER be discharged on the
theory that the state has failed to
prove it's case. This is the usual
procedure in cases of this nature.
In the event that the motion is
denied, the defense will then begin
the introduction of testimony.
Mr.. Barnett said that the defense
would not have more than six or
seven witnesses at the outside, ac-
cording to the present outlook.
One big question relates to Cum
mer himself. He is not required to
go on the stand in his own defense
unless his counsel elect to put him
on. In the event that he does not
testify, the judge, in his charge to
the jury, unquestionably will admon-
ish the jurors that the fact that the
defendant did not testify, must not
be taken into consideration in arriv-
ing at verdict.
Since the examination Of the We
niremen as to their qualifications as
jurors, nothing has been stated with
respect to the question of whether
GUNNER would go on the stand.
While he examined the veniremen,
Mr.. Bartlett asked several of them
If they would consider the failure of
GUNNER to go on the stand as preju-
dicial to him.
Only in the event that he goes on
the witness stand will the prosecut-
ing official be able to examine Gum
mer. Should he become a witness,
then the states attorney would be
permitted to question the accused
man at length.
The time that will be required to
complete the case hinges largely on
this question of GUNNER becoming a
witness. Should he go on the stand
the trial would be materially length
ened.
: AS to Andy Brown, nothing has
been stated by the defense concern
ing their possible use of him as a
witness, except Mr.. Bartlett's state
ment in court last Saturday that he
might want to call him as a witness
should the state release him.
The state has not questioned Brown
concerning his movements during the
night of the crime so far as this trial
is concerned. In the preliminary
hearing of GUNNER It was stated that
Brown had been in the hotel that
night up to about 1880 a. M, and
that he was at the Grand billiard hall
at / a. m.
Should Brown be used by the de-
fense for the purpose of establishing
an alibi for GUNNER, then he would
be subject, to crossLexamination at
the hands of the state. Such exam
ination also would require consider
able time.
What other witnesses the defense
may have in prospect has not been in
dicated. 5a
The jury is not being guarded in
any way, the members having COM
plete freedom as far as their move
ments are concerned, apart from
court hours. Each time the court
recesses or adjourns, the jury is ad-
monished by Judge Cooley to mot

Tonight and tomorrow night we
are TO have at the Richmond 9 screen
play that is a superb triumph OF the
enchanting art Of film-witchery. The
producers claim it cost a hal1-miilloh
dollars to proGuce-and gao. we
believe them. 1t is verita6le cream

cient Bagdad, with its mosques, IT'S
minarets, its bazaars, its barred WIZ
dows. its Moorish palaces, its narrow
streets, It's marble bathing pools

al Rashid to greet US just around the
corner. We sail on the magic carpet
through clouds and over seas, and
alight in the famous chamber Just
in time to hear the charming
Sheherazade begin her thousand-2nd-
second tale. Yonder in the crowd IS
Sinbad; and from the bottle lying IN
the street we expect the genie 10 IN
fold himself in smoke and thunder.
All the charm Of the Orient, all
the mystery of the East, IS here
gathered in one marvellous, fasclna-
ting film. The weird and sensuous
dances of the land of the hookah; OF
drcwsy opiates and soothful essen
ces: of caravans and palm-trees; OF
fronded GASES set like emeralds in
boundless deserts; this-all this-is
the atmosphere of Eismet.
We have the voluptuous scenes Of
the harem; the caliph's palace, with
p wealth of gorgeous decoration and
interior splcndor known only to
the dwellings, of Eastern Monarchs.
We behold the Street of the Tailors
and are indicted into the strange
methods of oriental merchandising.
We have spread out before us a ilv-

The plot is thrilling. The actors
are chosen from among many and
many TO enact the characters. Otis
