TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 22.— Owing to the illness of Aaron Hayhurst, u juror, the trial of Donn M. Roberts was postponed yesterday morning until 9:20 o’clock this morning when the defense will begin its introduction of evidence. When the Roberts’ case was culled I by Judge Charles M. Fortune yesterday morning, Attorney W. L. Slinkard for the defense presented a motion for the court to instruct the jury preemptorily to return a verdict of not guilty as to regard to the first count of the indictment, stating that no evidence had been produced that tended to show the defendant guilty of the charge contained in that count. Motion is Overruled. The motion was overruled by Judge Fortune. Another written motion then was filed by Attorney Slinkard asking the court to preemptorily instruct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty as to the charges contained in the third count of the indictment. This motion was overruled by the court The third written motion filed by Attorney Stinkard asked the court to require Special Prosecutor Roach and the state to elect upon which of the two counts of the indictment he expected to prove the defendant guilty. This motion was overuled without i argument as was also the fourth written motion petitioning the court to j require the state to elect upon which | one of the alleged otfenses charged in ; the indictment and what of the oral I testimony it relied to substantiate its

case.

Following a meeting of the State Penal Farm Commission in Indianapolis, secretary of the commission, telephoned to Charley Bachelder of Putnamville, instructing him to go ahead with the negeotiations to secure right-of-ways from the Monon and Vandalia Railroad lines to .the

proposed Putnamville site.

Mr. Hart instructed Mr. Bachelder that the commission had been in conference with Judge G. C. Field, of Chicago, vice president of the Monon line, and that Mr. Field had told the commission members that the Monon would meet the demands of the commission. He further stated that he believed that the Vandalia would agree to do what is asked of it. The meeting in Indianapolis Tuesday was a private one, the members of the commission getting together to discuss questions which they desired to agree upon regarding the selection of a site. No representatives from any one of the four sites being considered were present. The commission expects to hold another meeting

next week.

The sites now being considered are the Greencastle, Putnamville, Centerton and Gosport sites. Putnamville, so far, has not met the requirements ' of the commission hut men from Putnamville say that they will he able to do so. It is probable that they will have to buy the right-of-ways desired by the commission. Then if the railroads will agree to build the switches wanted Putnamville may land the farm. o The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority have issued invitations for a reception to he given at the chapter house on east Anderson street next Saturday afternoon and evening.

broke up the old ball game on McKeen Field in the ninth inning of the contest between Rose Poly and BePauw Tuesday afternoon, when he fumbled a hot grounder from the bat of a DePauw slugger and allowed the winning run to be scored for the Old Gold team. The score was 8 to 2 in DcPauw’s favor. After gaining a two run lead early in the game DePauw slowed up and allowed the Poly batters to register two runs in the seventh inning and tie the score. With two men out Sisson the DePauw twirler issued two bases on balls to the Rose Poly batters. Sheldon, the Poly right fielder, smashed one through second base, Rowan for DePauw, let the pill away and two Poly runners crossed the rubber. Shel don took third on the throw to the plate and was caught in an attempt to

steal home.

The weather was ideal for a ball game and the DePauw team was well supported by a large crowd of root ers and the university hand. The first few inning of the game appeared as though the game would lie only pitcher’s battle for both twirlers pitched airtight ball and very few hits were registered off their delivery. I More hits were made off Sisson than | the Poly pitcher, but the hits were I scattered and a run making combination was lacking. Sisson allowed his opponents 7 hits, while Pl- nk for th

visitors, allowed only •!.

The Old Gold team drew the first blood in the first inning when with two men down, Lewis singled through short and stole second. Bridges hit to the infield and Lewis scored when the player made a wild throw to the plate. One run was added iti the fourth inning, when for the second time during the game Plank issued flee transportation to Lewis by giving him four wild ones. Lewis stole second and he made a pretty slide under the second baseman, who tailed to touch him with the ball. Sisson stepped to the plate and hit for a single scoring Lewis. Rowan was given a pass and and Sisson took second Moore sacrificed and advanced the runners to second and third. Brubaker was unable to connect with the pill and struck out. Only one run

was scored.

The Rose Poly team threatened to score in the eighth inning, when with no outs, two batters singled. Sisson pulled out of the bud hole when he eaught a pop fly. and doubled a runner off first base. He struck the next

batter out.

Brudder, the diminitive third base man for the DePauw team, brought the spectators to their feet in the eighth inning, when he made a wonderful stop of a hard smash down the
