That means that all miS-> mast u rcmovod from your Mr DeVoss held the keenest' nnd closest interest „ t the hroughout his hour and a half talk. He read a number of d->c'-*>ons as to reasonable doubt. Tight of self protection and other kml phases ot the case and then said: The evidence in this case is ust a little peculiar to my mind. I have heard no evidence as to when or where Doras W< riin - was first shot. Th. re were three wounds, two on Werling and one on Everett. There was a fight down there along the river, notice I don t say a murder, I sa y j t was a .fight. Joe Everett had a right to be there and had a right to protect himself ln any way he could. Joes evidence deserves the same consideration as anv one else and he says he was attacked by four of them. We have no apology to make for Joe's testimony. That was the queerest bathing party I ever heard of Doras Werling had no bathing suit neither did Tom Halberstadt or Luther Sovine. James had one on and said he wore it all the time. I T hey didn t intend to go bathing. Tlte little Sovine bov went there because he thought there was eoing to be something doing. When Werling threw that stone ia tho water that was the f.rst overt act.” Mr. EeVoss then reviewed the ev.dence of Everett and ridicule! that es several ot tho state s wit--1 nesses and said that when Joe did not know Werring he could hardly have premeditated his murder. He discussed the character witnesses on each side briefly aul closed at three o’clock with a plea for a verdict for the defendant. i Gcerge W. Amspaugh, Pleasant j Mills, who drove to Decatur and , back with Doras Werling on dayd ■ when they worked together at tho G. E. testified that h.s reputati:n lor peace and quietude was good. On the day of ths shooting they ireturnod horns about 5:15. | Kev. A. IL FleddqrjoLann, pastor .of the Zion Reformed church, Daicatur, who married Doras Werling and preached his funeral sermon, I who knew him intimately, said his ' reputation was good. Charles Nyffler, S . Marys township saw Doras Werling that even:ng about 5:3). He w_s with tho oldest Halbcistadt boy. Werling s ■reputation good. Robert Mann, Decatur, formerly of Pleasant Mills, for seven years principal of the high school, teoti--1 tied that Everett's reputation for I peace and quietuda is I al in that: community. Attorney Walters! 'cross-examined and asked Mann if I ; he had talked to a number of thosol ■v.ho had testified that Joe's repu-i , tation was good and he answered; .■yes’’ to about half and "no” to others. ' j Olin Fortney, trustee Gt. Marys ' township testified that Joe's reputation fcr peace and quiet ia that| locality is bad. Cross-examined Mr. Fortney said he had no feeling prior to this at- - j fair. I "Did you ask the sheriff to pat ‘handcuffs on this man.''' "Yes sir.” "Yet you had no fesling?” "Not until this matter came up, we got along.” Ra-examined by Attorney Lutz; "When you made that remark, had you in mind that some one at the j trial had been threatened with bod-! lily harm?” “No.” "Your purpose, Mr. Fortney, was to see that the law was enforced?” ’ j Objection overruled. "Yes sir.” Cross-examined: "You just asked that the law be enforced?” "Yes." "Did the sheriff tell you he could attend to his own business?” Objection sustained. ' Mrs. Laura Davis, Pleasant Mills, I knows Joe Everett. Reputation for I peace and quietude bad.
