COMPLETE JURY TO
TRY MAIL-BOMB CASE
Four Women and Eight Men to Try
John M9gnusOn on Charge of MUIR
der in Yule Bomb Case.

by Associated Press Leased Wire)
Wisconsin, Rapids, Wis. The
state sprung a surprise at this
mornings opening session of the
Marshfeld bombing trial when
Ethel and Edward MagnusOn, aged
II and Is respectively, children of
John MagnusOn, were called to I'M
derg0 severe cross examination
by Special Prosecuting Attorney T.
, w. Brazeau. The entrance of the
children to the trial disturbed for
the first time the nOnchalant atti-
tude of MagnusOn, who since his
arrest has been unusually cool.
Questioning of the state was
limited strictly on the kinds of ink
used by the children at school.
Both admitted using blue-black ink
in their fountain pens, which they
declared, they took home with
them during the Christmas hOli-
days, at which time the bomb was
mailed. The state evidently tried
to connect up the type of ink used
to address the internal machine
with that used by the children but
waited upon being told that Mag
nusOn also used black ink. The
children also admitted that their
father tried to repair their pens
during the school recess.

Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.-With the
final completion of the jury-four
women and eight men-the Wood coun-
ty circuit court settled down this morn
ing to hear testimony of the celebrated
"Yule bomb" case, which resulted in
the death of Mrs. James R. Chapman,
December 9th last and the arrest of
John Magnuson, 40, Mill Greek farmer.
Rumors that the state will endeavor
to prove Maapu an guilty ofsffst de-
gree .nadrder- enfand of the state
through the handwriting on the par
eel were substantiated Tuesday after
noon when Special Prosecuting Attor-
ney T. w. Brazeau declared that the
state had evidence to show that the
handwriting on the parcel was that of
Magnuson. Defense Attorney c. E.
Briere IN his appeal to the court re-
ported that Magnuson had a perfect
alibi which would clear him of all
charges.
Eugene Fehernbach, rural mail car
rier. who picked up the internal ma
chine from the top Of mail box on
his route, is scheduled to testify at this
mornings hearing. Indications are
that the trial will extend over period
of two weeks, all jurors not held for
the case being excused until April 4th

seven votes by the written in" route.
There seemed to be some doubt in
legal circles today as to whether the
name of George w. Harrington would
go on the ballot as a candidate for
councilman. City Attorney Randall
declared that he had not yet made an
exhaustive study of the law, but that
his opinion now was that the law read
so as to place the names of the four
receiving the highest number of votes
on the ticket irrespective of the per
centage of votes polled compared with
any previous election
The same ruling would apply in sew
eral instances in regard to nomina-
tons for school commissioner.

In every ward there were several
persons written in for places on the

of them showed as much strength as

/. o. o. f. Decorate Graves

Sunday afternoon Valley lodge I.
o. o. F. members decorated the
graves of former members in the To-
cal cemetery The order departed
from it's customary form of marching
down in body, and instead went by
auto, which gave a number the OPP
portunity of going who would have
been unable to march. In all about
40 were present. Chas. A. Gaylord
made short address. After decor
ating the "a /. o. O.. F. graves in
McConnelsville cemetery, they went
to McKendree where there are six
Odd Fellows buried, and decorated
their graves. At that place Mr.. J..
B. Farra made memorial talk.
After the services at McKendree
many went out to Meigs where six
former members are buried. Here
quite a number of people in that vi
cinity had gathered. Atty G. o. Nc
Gonagle made an address. At each
cemetery prayer was also offered.
This new departure worked out very
satisfactorily, and we understand
that in another year they will furth-
er extend the circuit.

Harper anGaDr. L. r. Sharp returned
Sunday evening from an auto trip
to Pittsburgh to watch Pittsburgh
National baseball team play New
York, and to see A w. Cooper pitch.
They left here on Thursday, making
the trip in the Phillips car.
The party were as much pleased
with their trip, as would have been
a similar number of small boys re-
turning from their first circus. How
ever much as they enjoyed the out
ing, Mr.. Cooper enjoyed having
these home friends visit him, equal
ly as we'll, as was evidenced by the
fact that he took them to his home
where they were served with an ele-
CANT dinner, after which he drove
them over the city in his new Peer
less auto, and even furnished the
party with tickets to the games. He
strenuously insisted that they re-
main over until Monday to see Pitts
burgh play the third game with New
York. Saturday the gentlemen from
here saw more than $4,000
persons at the game, which was
perhaps the record breaking crowd
for that place.

Robbery at Marietta

Early Sunday morning yeggs blew
the safe at the Otto Bros. store.

with $500 in currency, $1,000 in
checks, 800 liberty bond, and two
gold watches. 1t is also stated that

these jobs, also the one pulled off
last Thursday at the Zenner store,
Athens, when the safe was blown
and several hundred dollars taken.
