First witness for the defense was
Ray w. Powell, 26, of 1925 N. Me-
ridian St., an attorney who assisted
Max Blackburn, the defendants son,
in promoting the dance, which was
advertised as a feature OF the Wa
bash-Butler football celebration. He
testified ne saw Martin. Lyness and
Mrs. Virginia Reddick Randall, 10,
of 1925 Ashland Ave-, talking out"
side the dance hall doors just be-
fore the shooting.
He said it was his opinion Martin
and Lyness were drunk.
Doctor Testiiies
DIR. Fred B. Crum, who attended
Smith Martin, said Martin received
black eye, liberation on the face
and a sprained back. Max Blackburn
testified that after he was taken to
police headquarters following the
shooting he heard Lyness say there:
L uOH u KNOW WHICH, VI GS I'LL

Lyness denied this statement
Tuesday.
For forty minutes Robinson
summed up the defense case in his
opening statement to the jurors. He
ended by saying Blackburn had been
prosecuted and not prosecuted, and
should never have been indicted.
Mother ON Stand
The State rested its case at lao
p. m. :. The last witness called by
Prosecutor William II. Remy was
Mrs. John Martin, mother of the
dead man. She was hardly on the
stand i've minutes and was not
cross-examine ed by defcuse attorneys.
She said she had never known her
boy to drink liquor and had never
seen him under its influence. In
contrast to the previous day, Mrs
MARTYR was composed and answered
questions in a clear calm voice.

Makes Statement on
Shepherd Case.

1.-The use Of typhoid germs for
criminal purposes such as is said
to have caused the death of William
n. McClintock, millionaire orphan of
Chicago, can be detected more cas-
fly by a competent pathologist than
IL certain poisons had been used to
cause young McClintock death, "
says a bulletin today from the In
diana State Medical Association.
The bulletin which discusses the
scientific side Of subjects brought
out in the recent grand jury hear
ing which resulted i'm the indictment
of Shepherd and Faiman. "a fake
DOCTOR" for the murder of young
McClintock, continues:
THE body of William N. Nc
Clintock, millionaire orphan, was ex-
humed for examination. Expert
pathologists found unmistakable EVIL
dence that McClintock died of ty-
phoid fever. Such experts can de-
termine the exact chemical or pol
son which was used, or in death
from disease they recognize the ex-
act character of the disease by the
effects it has produced.
THE use OF disease-producing bac-
terra for criminal purposes is not
common, but when so used the cause
of death can be shown by a compe-
tent pathologist even more readily
and surely than if certain poisons
had caused the death. Each variety
OF bacte Ia has it's own particular
manner of getting into the human
body, and when it enters by some
other route 10 is usually harmless.
Some germs, such as the bacilli of
tuberculosis, produce infection if in
hailed with dust. II young McClin-
took had been given tetanus bacilli
those which cause lockjaw) by
mouth, no i'll effects of any kind
would have followed.
Evidence before the grand jury
in the McClintock case shows that
Shepherd had some difficulty in Sc
curing virulent typhoid bacllli, and
that he took a short course in BAG
teriology in order to know what to
do with them. He would have had
on success in securing bacteria nor
instructions in handling them had
he gone. as perhaps he did, to some
recognized medical school, hospital
or university"

Relieving the SPRINGS

How to take the weight off the
springs in order to spread the leaves
and Iubricate them thoroughly ap-
pears to be a problem to the average
car owner who hikes to do his own
work. He knows 1T is necessary to
jack up the car. But where? Since
the frame is usually closer to the
ground near the front of the car a
suitable place to put the jack will be
found for relieving each front spring
separately If the car has front
bumper it is only necessary to raise
the car by placing the jack under
this. The same applies to the rear of
the car, if it is bumper equipped.
The point is to jack up something that
is firmly attached to the frame, not
to the wheel. aXles or other inspiring
weight. 1t isn't necessary to raise a
wheel off the ground. a The spring
will relax as soon as the weight is
removed.

Savino Outweiahs Loss


While balloon tires do offer GER
tain amount of drag due to increased
tractive area it has been found that
their advantages as power savers
more than compensate for their
power losses. This is particularly
noticeable in hill climbing.
Motorists are finding that they can
climb rough hills better with balloon
tires, and this fact has resulted In
considerable speculation. The ex-
PLANTATION, however, is simple. A
high pressure tire, in striking hole
or bump flies off the ground. This
causes power to be delivered and
concentrated on the wheel off the
ground, since the action of the diff
ferential is always such that power
goes to the wheel offering the least
resistance.
With one rear wheel. and then the
other, going off the ground alter
nately and spinning free the engine
does lot of unnecessary work in
the course of long climb. From an
efficiency standpoint this represents

observer and reminded him that

largely a matter of having a good
head The inspector estimated that
the average hasty driver loses about
half hour for each of his major
blunders at such intersections.

a loss, but in practice it is true that
the spinning of the wheel often
helped motorist get over a hill in
high gear because the action was the
same as slipping the clutch. The
necessity for giving an engine this
sort of lift, however, was in part
due to earlier losses in traction and
power on the hill. Balloon tires do
not involve this earlier loss.

AGED CLAY
CO. CHARGE
DIES IN FIRE
Sick Man Whom Victim Was
Trying to Befriend Is Also
Seriously Burned

Sabin. Mimi. Nov. l2.-tP-Trap-
ped in an old barn used by his friend
as a home. Duke Henderson, 65-ycar-
old charge Of Clay county, Minneso-
ia. was burned to death in midnight
fire last night as he tried to rekindle
a fire in a stove to keep his sick
friend warm during the night.
The friend, Henry Sleek, 72 years
old. was burned seriously and was
taken to Moorhead hospital. All
the toes on his left foot were burned
off and he suffered painful burns
about the face and head, physicians
said.
Widow Suffering From Shock
Mrs. Henderson, an 89-year-old in
valid, also was in the same hospital
today, suffering from shock. She
was in the house, furnished for her
and her husband by Clay county,
within 100 feet of the fire and was
frightened badly by the conflagra-
ton. In the hospital today she had
not been told that her husband is
dead. The additional shock. it was
feared, might prove fatal.
According to Mrs. Hcndcrs on
story today, her husband had gone
out to the barn, once used as a feed
mill and operated by Sleek, to build
fire for the old man and to give
him his supper. When her husband
returned. Mrs. Henderson said. he
told her that Sleek was sick and did
not want any supper. He had light
cd the kerosene stove, Henders on
told his wife.
