By Edward C. Derr 1 lilted 1-reHK Staff t'orreKixindcnt Marion. 111,, Dec. 19.—The chain of evidence, built up by attorneys for the prosecution in the trial of five men accused of murdering Howard Hoffman, during the “Herrin massacre” last June, was to be tested today following discovery of a few weak links during yesterday’s session of court. Apparently disappointed when witnesses, expected to play star roles for the state, failed to corroborate testimony previously entered in the court records, prosecuting attorneys were prepared to launch a solid attack in proving the guilt of the defendants. Williamson county was stirred by juniors that four men who escaped from the death mach last June and who have been in hiding in Chicago since the massacre, would take the stand for the state today. Hundreds of people swarmed into the little court room and were eagerly awaiting the rap of Judge Hartwell’s gavel. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the kind neighbors, friends and relatives during the sickness and death of our loving, darling baby, and to thank those also for the beautiful flowers. MRS. MARY M. KOENIG ' AND CHILDREN. o MOOSE NOTICE All members of Loyal Order of 1 Moose are requested to be present Wednesday evening, December 20, . 1922. There will be a man here to talk on Moosedom. Be sure and at- : tend . DICTATOR. 297-t2
