Two of the fastest sprint men in America. both outstanding reliances for the Olympic events, are laid up with injuries. What effect these i'm juries will have on the strength of the American invading team depends entirely on future developments.
 The two illustrious cripples are Charley Paddock Of California and Loren Murchison of New York. Pad dock spraincd his ankle in a recent basketball game, and is now on crutches. He will be out of train ing for a month, possibly longer.
 Murchison is suffering from a form of spinal trouble, and no one seems able to forecast his future so far as the olympiad is concerned.

chiefly to weakness in the corn
market. wheat underwent moderate
declines today in the early trading.
AS a price making factor here, dis
turbed conditions in Germany ap-
peared to count for little, but were
generally taken as bearish. Dealings
in wheat lacked volume, and there
was no sign of anything suggesting
a bullish effect such as in years gone
by accompanied news of a war-like
character. The opening. which
ranged from Il to y lower, with De-
cember 1857 to 1.05A and May
1.105s to 110N, was followed by a
slight further drop and then little
recovery.
Heavy selling in the corn market
and sharp setbacks in price resulted
from the bearish aspect of the United
States government crop report. After

KEPNER CAUGHT

Own Behalf Monday.

Continued from First Page)
circumstantial evidence around KEEP
ner which makes the outcome of the
trial look bad for the accused man.
Everything now depends on the de-
tense.
Kepner may be able to explain
certain Of his actions. He may be
able to give further light on his
statements that his wife twice before
tried to commit suicide, a statement
which is vigorously denied by every
member of the Houck family.
The defense got off to a good start
yesterday. It's only two witnesses
for the day related a conversation
which they had with Ezra Houck, jr.,
on different occasions, in which the
latter said his sister, Mrs. Kepner,
has tried before to take her life"
This young Houck denies.
A State witness yesterday turned
out to be a defense witness. Mrs.
Robert Tyson, fifteen years a friend
OF Mrs. Kepner, told of q converse
ton with the dead woman about six
months ago. She says Mrs. Kepner
told her that at one time she was SO
depressed she believed she would
have killed herself had she anything
handy to do it with.
Points in States Case.
The prosecution has proved many
things. The most important point
the State brought out was this:
There were blood spots on the posts
Of the bed in which Mrs. Kepner's
body was found. Neither the under
takers or anyone else in the room
after the death touched the posts
with blood stained hands. The pros
ecution, therefor, contends that KEEP
ner, with blood over his hands, held
on to the posts as he arranged his
wife's body in a position to indicate
suicide, doing this after he fired the
shot which killed her.
About twenty witnesses will APP
pear for the defense. Most Of those
who will testify will tell about the
family life of the Kepner's and of
conversations with Mrs. Kepner be-
fore her death.
The defense contends Mrs. Kepner
committed suicide and will through
experts seek to offer proof that she
did.
