chair during the progress Of the
trial, while others intensely inter
ested in the case were forced ~
stand. Suggestions have been made
that the bailiff be given a rod with
which to tap doing listeners, as in
the old Puritan churches Of the
Mayfiower- time.
Perhaps the only two purely un-
concerned attendants at the trail
of the case which has been furnish
ing sensation upon sensation for over
a year, are little Jack kneeskern,
six year old son Of the defendant
and lanky S. j. Moore, Winneshiek
county clerk.
Jack Kneeskem is too small 70
attend to the trial with any degree
of interest. Already il has begun
to bore him. He plays with hand
kerchief bearing colored pictures,
or draws pictures, child fashion,
while the attorneys are conducting
the inquiry that will decide whe.h-
er or not his father will be allowed
to return home TO Castalia with
him at the close of the tlial.
The other one seemingly very I'M
concerned throughout the COURSE
of the trial is Moore, the Winnie
shiek county clerk who has charge
of all the material evidence sub
mitted in the first Kneeskern trial
in DEBORAH las. spring, and which
is being re-enteIed as evidence in
the trial here.
Moore has already heard most Of
the testimony several times and i
no longer holds any interest for
him. SO he sits, almost directly
under the judges bench, and reads,
reads a novel while the sensational
double murder trial is being con-
Quoted at his very side.

last chapter of which remained TO

zJJThe defendant himself, does not
appear greatly concerned as the
trial progresses toward the ame
when the jury will be called upon
to decide upon his fare. A stohd,
unchanging expression on his face,
he sits at the side of his attorneys,
taking frequent notes and exhibit
ing less apparent interest in mat
tiers than any of the tial fans who
are daily jamming the court room

~, the latter county attorney Of
F1ody county, F. 4. O1Connor and w.

Seated back of a mahogany bench
is the stern, dignified looking Judge
Kelley, whose experience on the
bench places him as dean Of circuit
iurists. There is no stalling for
time, no unnecessary quibbling
among attorneys with Judge Kelley
on the bench. He is acquainted with
every angle of the law and doesn't
take long in making a ruling when an
objection is interposed by the at
torneys.
An abundance of evidence, which is
in volumes, that was introduced at
the last trial of Kneeskern, is prs
pared TO be presented to the jury.

Charles City Press
Court room crowds at the trial
of B. F. Kneeskern here for the
murder of Irene Van Brocklin in a
lone cabin on one of his farms, are
continuing the largest in the last de-
cade of Floyd county judicial history.
Near the rear of the room in which
Kneeskern is being tried, benches
and radiators are stood upon thar
sight may be gained of tie enclosure
to the front within which the legal
battle for Kneeskern's permanent
freedom is being waged. He is tenn
porarily free at present, under bonds
of $4,000.
Now that evidence is being taken
in the case, interest has increased
to such an extent that many are
bringing their dinners with them
when they come in the morning,
that they may not lose their places
during the noon hour. Tie court
room is said to have a capacity OF
$50 but has been accommodating be-
tween 400 and 500 with regularity.

this celebrated murder trial. Every
man on the case has state wide re-
putation, of being the best, the shrew-
dest, the keenest and the most FOR
chile criminal attorney in the state.
KneeskeTn wants 10 remove the
cloak that shrouds him. He wants %
go back home, to Castalia, fully vim
dicated of the crime for which he t.
charged. He has assembled a force
of criminal attorneys that hope 10
lead him in that direction. There is

a mentally polished criminal attor-
nev who is widely known within ev-
cry confne of the state. He is sup
ported BY the cast ID. ID. Murphy, j.
C. Campbell and f. w. Cutting, all
with recognized ability as criminal
attorneys.

The Charles City Press comments
as follows on the Kneeskern case:
Here, in the thickly pinned snow
clad hills that frown down upon the
bleak lowlands of Floyd county, the
curious public waits-waits with an
xiety to witness another chapter, per-
haps the last, in one Of the most SEN
sational murder cases in the annals
of Northeastern Iowa.
Here liz the peaceable threshold Of
the thriving northeast section of this
state waits B. Frank kneeskern for
the next move of the hand Of fate.
Today, almost an outcast in his own
community, harried, stripped praetl-
cally friendless, Kneeskerf sat calm
ly beside his attorneys who are
employing everything within science
and power to break Ink by link of evil
dence which the state is attempting
to weld into a network around the
man toward which the finger Of sus-
picion points.
To this county seat of 5000 souls,
and to neighboring towns, which
Kneeskem frequented as cattle
buyer, little attention had been paid
to the Kneeskern case until he came
here to make his stand against the
henious charge, that of taking the
life of a man and woman, Charles
and Irene Van Brocklin, of Castalia,
December IL, 1921.
Men, women and children of all
walks of life crowd the court house
within whose walls such a similar
case has not been heard for years.
Every eve is focused, and often the
finger points, on the stoutly built fe-
ure dressed in grey, sandwiched In
between a bulwark of defense, which
is composed Of Hart. Murphy, Cut
ting and Campbell. Occasionally a
glance is cast toward a woman in
black who sits motionless as the evil
dence is heaped upon her husband.
Little Jackie, 5 years old, IS there
too. vet he does not understand.
The general makeup of the assem-
blage the past days, in the temple OF
Justice, is witnesses, members OF the
petit jury. Witnesses-those who
are here to tell what they know con-
corning the case for the state and de-
Tense are about equally divided. All
of these come from radious OF z

ed upon to give their side of the
case.
From all indications it will he az
least 10 days before all the evidence
is in. The state is prepared not to
overlook or drop a single link. The
defense has come to put up a rigid
defense. They claim they are going
to take their time in the Introduction

tempt to hold the defendant respon-
Sible.

These Narrow Country Roads

A farmer was driving "A load OF
hay along a narrow road, when be-
hind him came a man with horse
and buggy. The farmer drove out
of the way to let him pass. A mo-
ment. later along came a young fell
low on a bicycle, who cried to the
farmer to let him pass. Hey, there!
Pull out and let me BY"
"Oh, | dunno if I'm in any hurry

Crowds at the main entrance are
so great even a half hour before
court is convened, as TO cause the
attorneys serious difficulty in
breaking through.
Mothers are bringing their chill
dren with them, that they might be
enabled to attend the trial. One
wonders to what extent Charles
City husbands are forced to wash
dishes while the wives attend
court. One woman is bringing her
crocheting with her each day, and
every new witness sees a substan-
tial addition to the fancy work she
is making.
