The most sensational case scheduled to he heard during capital week start ed late Thursday afternoon when Rich- ard Warner. 414 N. Sixteenth street, took the stand in Judge William M. Forts courtroom as the first witness against Frank Owens, alleged negro ax slayer.

 Mir. Warner, upon taking the wit ness stand, testified under the ques- tioning of Solicitor Jim Davis, tnaI ne had been struck on the head and lost consciousness on the night in question while returning home from a nearoy barber shop. While unconscious, ms money, his spectacles and other property was stolen, he asserted. Since ne was attacked he testified that hls nealtn had not been good,i but could not state what instrument had been used by ms assailant.
 Warner is expected to take the stand again Friday morning for short time. During the identification of the stolen property. Kenneth Charlton, defense attorney, kept up a continual cross fire of objections annd exceptions, which were overruled by Judge Fort.

 Because of MT. Watkins physical condition, court attaches stated that it is doubtful if he will be called to testify. X Ee

 The girl nodded brightly to him when she left on the arm of the tall man in evening clothes. The man asked her profanely the name of that young ape, but the boy did not hear. There were tears in his eyes. Tears brought by the contemplation of her beauty. Be- cause, after all, she is wonderfully pretty girl. The little things that would have opened the eyes of more worldly wise youth had fallen unheeded on his ears. There are no cabarets in his little southern town.
 "I'll come tomorrow to see you dance," said he.
 The friend opened his eyes, lazily. This was going it with a vengeance. He comforted himself with the thought that the boy lacked the money to pay cabaret prices. Besides by tomorrow he would have recovered from this in fatuation. We love easily ill youth.
