Bose of Decnhlr and Malcolm Skinner of Portland, uppoinfid by the court undo the state pauper law, were preparing papers for a now trial motion I today. The case attracted wide alien'lion and hundreds of Adams county people attended the court ses- ’ slims. The trial started Monday • morning am] both sides rested their case at noon Tue day. Yes- | lerday afternoon was devoted to ■ fina’ arguments after which the i ourt charg'd the jury. o • FIRST MURDER TRIAL SINCE 1903 TO START i ICOXTIXCEI) FROM PAGE ONE) j was sentenced to life Imprisoni ment. After serving many years I in the state prison, he was paroled ' i and returned to Decatur. How-1 I ever. 1 he became despondent and I I later asked to be returned to pris- | j on. where he died. Wurst also was • I sentenced to life imprisonment, as ■ in accomplice and after serving part of his sentence was paroled. j He died at A'bany, Indiana. 1 In 1893, the only woman ever I charged with murder in Adams county was arrested. Mrs. Rhoda j Turbin wa- charged with murdering an infant child. Sjte later was acquitted. Gets Four Years In 1894 Oliver Wingent was shot to death by A'ex Bombay, a young man. who claimed self defense. Bombay was sentenled to four years in the state prison. He died sl’ortly after being released from the prison. On September S, 1903 John Busenbark wa* killed by his son-in-law, Joseph Osborne. Osborne was alleged to have beaten the man with his fists to such an ex- j tent that death resulted. It war. : the first murder trial held in Adams county since the beginning of | the Daily Democrat and each day' | stories were carried concerning the progress of the trial which started in December. Sentenced to Life On Christmas eve at 10:45 o’clock the jury' returned a verdict of second degree nitrder against Osborne and he was sentenced to life imprisonment. The Daily . j Democrat published its first extra j on Christmas eve of 1903 and to’d the complete story of the trial.' • even giving the vote of the jury. Judge R. K.

Republican national committeewoman from Illinois, for Congreesman-at-large, and Edward J. Brundage, former attorney general of Illinois, for United States Senator on the Republican ticket. Heller and W. M. Atnsden were attorneys for the defendant. The Osborne case probably held the most interest of any of the county’s murder trials, largely because the verdict was returned on Christmas eve. More than 100 people deserted Christmas observances in their homes to be at court when the verdict was read. Reed Case Fails In\ 1918 Frank Reed was indicted by the grand jury charged with murder in connection with the death of four Decatur people ami the serious illness of thfbc others. Following a meal at the Madison Hotel in this city, all the people

paroled How-

who ate a certain meat served | there became 111. As a result Russell Pretnor, Vienna Burger, Mrs. Myrtle Reed nml Robert Kalver died and C. J. Lutz, Mrs. Russell Premer and Mrs. C. C. Rayl were ill. On the theory that Reed placed poison in the meat that his wife might die and he could collect her life insurance, evidence was heard by a grand jury and an Indictment was returned. Tho evidence was not sufficient to convict nud the case never came to trial. So the Inst murder trial of any importance in tho county occurred in 1903. *’ Trial Starts Thursday The Booher trial starting tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, promises to become one of the famous Adams circuit court cases. Judge J. (' Sutton will sit on the bench, hearing his first murder case. D. B. Erwin of this city and Nathan Nelson, prosecuting attorney, wi l be a sisted by R. (’. Parrish of Fort Wayne. It is thought that it will take i several days to obtain a Jury. The regular petit jury will be seated first. For tomorrow 15 members of the special venire of 50 have been ordered into court. If these 15 are exhausted, the other 35 members will bo called. In case all 5(1 men are used another special venire will be drawn. Booher is 28 years o sage and has resided in Geneva all his life. He is married anil has three children. His wife sued for divorce a few weeks ago. but the decree was not ■A granted and Booher has been caring for his three small children at Geneva. He has been in jail sindl- his arrest, the first day of the present term of court. It is understooil that the state has a great number of witnesses to call. Many people f rom Geneva are expected to attend he hearings. o In Memory of MOTHER It matters'iiot. Oh Mother mine. Though you've passed on to worlds sublime; I know where-e’er yourboul may lie That somewhere you're still mothering me. The world seems empty, Mother true. So big and lonely without you; But sti.l I hear your voice so mild In fancy, calling for your child. What can I do, Oh Mother mine, To thank you for your love divine? What can 1 say to prove to you I'm living up to love so true? I'll try to be, Oh Mother dear, More like yourself each passing year, Ami you will know by things I do That I'm still keeping faith with you. You held within your mother heart A love of which I was a part; ■ I'll ne'er forget, what-e'er I do, But try to pass it on for you. / Your last farewell, Oh Mother mine. Your handclasp, left its print divine; Tim work which you had hoped to do. I'll take and'carry on for you. Mr. Wiliam Ehrman and children.
