Bell declared he wished to test the
witness powers Of memory which
do not correspond in any way with
the testimony OF several state wit
nesses bearing upon the actual
fight.

of Harry Mueller, deceased. was
the last called by the prosecution.
She was heard yesterday afternoon
after qualifying to testify as to the
condition of the overall jacket
worn by Mueller the day of the
fight, before he left home and upon
his return. The Jacket was con-
nected with the case by testimony
of Jim Tatman and Francis Vieng-
er, both of whom identified it. OBJ
jections to Mrs. Mueller's reappear-
ance as a witness were overruled.
At conclusion of her testimony the
jacket was admitted as exhibit
No. ..
First witness called this morn
ing by the defense was Herbert
Kruger. Kruger was also state
witness. He was questioned with
respect to. his proximity to John
Weaver at the Eagles club some
time prior to the fight, at which
time he said Weaver made threats
against Mueller.
Albert N@s-ller, brother of Harry
Mueller, was also called by 5he de-
tense for the purpose of tracing his
movements after the post-mortem
at which Harry Mueller's brain was
removed. He said he took it to
Chicago for diagnosis.

COLONEL WOODS

Must Hurry to Washington
VIII Boost Arsenal Work.

Colonel Arthur A Woods, chair
man of the presidents unemploy-

Rock Island to discuss the reopen
ing of the Rock Island arsenal with
a committee Of experts.
Mayor Harry NJ. Schriver receiv-
ed telegram from Colonel Woods
this morning from Urbana, ILL.,,
where the colonel spoke last night
at the eighth annual convention OF
the Illinois Municipal league, on
Unemployment"
The telegram follows:
Regret exceedingly that l can
not stop at Rock Island. Business
demands that 1 be in Washington
Friday morning. AS you remem-
Der, / took the matter up with the

will try again. Are your senators
interested?"
While Mayor Schriver regrets
exceedingly that Colonel Woods
cannot come to this city to look
over the ground and to receive
some important local data, he, new
ertheleSs, was much pleased over
the statement of Colonel Woods
that he would again take the ar
senal matter before the war de-
partment
Legislators Interested.
AS far as his question concern
ing the interest of Illinois sena-
tors is concerned, the mayor de-
clares that every effort has been
put forth to this end, and assur-
ances have been received that the
senators will support the issue to
the limit. Congressman are also
urging that the arsenal be reopen
ed for manufacture of peace time
needs OF the government.
The proposition as outlined in the
Geographic invitation to Colonel
Woods Wednesday, to come here
was that men are out OF employ
ment in the tri-cities and that there
seems to be the greatest opportun-
ity for the unemployment confer
ence to do good by lending its eff
forts toward having the arsenal re-
opened for manufacture OF peace
time needs.
