A factor in the general heaviness
OF the market during the week was
the announcement of Germany's
policy to continue passive resistance
in the Ruhr region.
Price changes generally were re-
garded as inconclusive. Owing I o the
absence OF a number of large traders
and the natural disposition of others

 When the case was called at 1o:50 o'clock, Solicitor Davis immediately announced ready" for the state. Aft CT checking the list of witnesses, Hugh Locke, defense attorney, stated 1t was their wish to go to trial, but they felt it would be damaging to do so with so many witnesses ab sent. It was then that Judge Steele began preparations to summons them.
 The case was begun in the court room of Judge Dan A. Greene on the civil division side of the building. Although the largest in the court house, it was far too small to con- tain the crowd of spectators. Noises of automobiles being started in the alley way leading to the warden's office nearby interfered consdera bl! with court proceedings.

 Finally the blows ceased and the party disbanded. After the horn blows, you can leave" E. G. Jacks IS said to have told Dr. Dow ling. When he asked the way to town, voice he says was that of G. G.

 When the automobiles left, pr. Bowling made his way to the road After resting there a few moments, he began walking in the direction the ears had taken. It was two miles before he knew where he was. He reached Tarrant City about 80 or l o'clock and called his home and a doctor over the telephone, Dr. Dow ling said.
 This ended the story of pr. Dowl- ling and he was then questioned by Solicitor Davis about details. He had talked to Jacks a number of times before the flogging, pr. Bowling said, and several times at his office. He had attended many meetings of datrymen, but had not heard Jacks speak at one of them. Jacks, he said, had protested against some of the rulings he had been obliged to issue in line with his duties at the health office. Dr. Bowling stated he did not recognize the voice of Jacks in the automobile ride out to the scene of the flogging.

 Dr. Bowling visited the dairy of Jacks one time since the flogging, he satd, and had long conversa- tion with him. He was not questioned about the subject of the talk. When did you make up your mind it was Jacks? When you heard the voice?" Burgin asked.

 Tt was William Yerby," Dr. Dow ling replied steadily. (Yerby, seated in the court room on front seat with Porter Newman, broke into a grin at hearing this.)

 After hundling him into the au- tomobile, pr. Bowling said, they pro- ceeded with him for about 20 min I utes at the apparent rate of 20 miles an hour. He sat between two capI tors, one holding his right and the other his left wrist. All of the way, he said, he was insisting that he be told what they intended doing and the reason for their action.
 Shut up your damn mouth, a voice which he recognized as that of Williams commanded, Dr. Dow ling said, By this time he had lost all idea Of direction.

 few minutes later the car stopped and he was able to discern another automobile. He receiverd his first intimation that there were two cars then. After shifting by one of his captors on the rear seat, they re- stunned their journey. They made a sharp turn to the left and stopped.
