ed to prove the greatest high school
athletic event ever held here. The
meet is scheduled to open at 2:30 o.
clock.
Seven high schools, including Car
thage, are entered in the meet. These
include all the large schools of the
district and it is probable several of
the smaller schools will enter.

cepted the invitation to take part are
Springfield, Monett, Mount Vernon
Miller, Joplin and Carterville.

the starter in track events. Twc

the country, will be held rain or shine
The crowds will be kept in the grand
stand, no one except officials and
entrants in the events being allowed
on the grounds.
All of the expenses of the meet are
to be paid by the Carthage high

sures it being the fastest ever held
here. 1t will be virtually the same
as the meet put on by the Southwest

AMOS TRIAL IN PROGRESS
Al CASSVILLE
Case will Probably Go to Jury Today.
States Evidence ali in Tuesday.
Defense Offers Alibi.

The case of Bob Amos, charged
with robbing the Exeter bank at 4
o'clock December %, will probably be
completed today. The court held a
night session and the states witnesses
were all heard Tuesday. The defense
put on a number of witnesses today
and rebuttal will begin this afternoon.
Prosecuting Attorney Emory Smith
stated that he thought the case would
go to the jury some time this after
noon.
The evidence is largely the same
as brought out at the preliminary
eating. The defense tried to prove
an alibi for Amos, Bruce flaming, Of
Fayetteville, Ark, swearing on the
stand that he was with Amos on the
day of the robbery and that he rode
with him from Monett to Cassville.
He said he was with Amos at the
corner Of Fourth and Broadway at
1925 o'clock that afternoon. He
claimed that he met Amos two years
ago in strawberry time, and that he
had remembered him. Amos, when
placed on the stand testified to the
same thing.
Following Fanning's testimony he
was arrested for perjury.
The 1irst witnesses produced by
the prosecution were John Ellston,
cashier of the robbed bank, and Miss
Clara Williams, bank bookkeeper.
Both positively identified Amos as
one of the men who committed the
robbery.
Pharis Stephens of Exeter testified
that he and Amos were reared to-
gether and that he saw Amos get out
of Ford automobile in Exeter and
go into the bank on the date and at
the time it was robbed. He said he
walked down the street few steps
behind Amos and when Amos entered
the bank he passed on.
Fred Wilhelm of Exeter also tes-
titled he saw Amos get out of a Ford
with another man and enter the bank.
He also said he saw them inside the
bank.
Leo Brown of Rogers, Ark, who
was confined in the county Jail at
Cassville with Amos, testified that
while he was in Jail he and Amos
were sitting on top Of a steel cage and
Amos related to him the story of the
robbery. He quoted Amos as saying
that he left Monett about O'Clock
the day of the robbery and drove to
Exeter and robbed the bank. Amos,
he said, declared that if the Ford car
had not broken down they would have
made ga complete job of it."
The case against Burl Reed, former
deputy sheriff, also charged with the
same robbery, will come up Friday
morning before Judge Henson. The
jury already has been ordered for that
time and both sides have announced
ready.
Jurors in the case are c. M. Still,
M. l.. Robbins, William Hemphill, s.
P. Bradley, E. S. Wilson, Dan Robber-
son, R. S. Davis, Edward Ellis, c. r.
Daniels, D. L. Baylor, E. S. Carlin and
Charles Mansfield.
