KANGAROOS WIN OVERTIME TILT BY 10-11 COUNT Bears Weaken In Extra Period; Close Defensive Play Features Kirkland Kangaroos, first, second and girls teams, stood all the power of three fighting Berne Bear teams and sent the Bears back with three defeats at Kirkland township gymnasium last night before a howling mob which filled the gym. The Kangaroos won 11-10 in an overtime mixup. The Kirkland second team continued its 1.000 per cent, by beating the embryo Bears, 26-16. And the Kirkland Airis trimmed the Berne girls. 31-17. The first game started at 6:30 o'clock and before the contest was scarcely started the gymnasium was crowded. There is a rivalry iretween Berne and Kirkland which equals that of the Army and Navy and every inch of athletic ground was hard fought Friday night. In the big game, Berne started in the lead and Smith, Bear forward sank two free throws for the only scoring in the first quarter. Tile Kangaroos were kept well boxed and failed to count a single tally. in tile second quarter Smith sank two more free throws, bolstering the Berne score to 4 and Zimmedman counted a free throw for Kirkland, making the half time count. 4-1 for Berne. Yager made a point for Berne in the third period and Egly and Adler both counted from the field for Kirkland. Score at the end of the third quarter was 5-5. In the final quarter both teams fought desperately for anything that looked like a field goal. The tegular playing session ended with j the count 9-9 and in the overtime period Kirkland scored a field goal' and Berne a free throw, making the final count 11-10. The Kirkland fans went crazy. In the preliminary, the Berne second team led at the half. 12-10, but the little Kangaroos got started in the closing period and ran up a, 10-point margin to keep their victory column perfect. The final count was 26-16. The girls' game was the first preliminary and the Kirkland girls had little trouble dis-1 posing of their enemies.

CREDIT PLAN IS EFFECTIVE tCONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)' po.ation.” the statement said, reported applications for loans to associations of subscribing banks have been received daily since Nov. 1 and thus far no loan has been refused. “The organization is operating so effectively that loans are being accepted and funds remitted to the local associations for borrowing banks on the same day on which the loan applications are received. In some instances loans have been arranged and funds placed at the disposal of borrowing banks within four or five hours." Co-operation ot large bank in New York City has enabled the corporation to borrow locally sufficient 'unds to cover all loans thus far, the directors said. This has eliminated necessity for calling upon member banks to pay any part of their subscription to the corporation's gold notes. The directors refrained from giving any publicity to the amounts of loans made to associations, the districts concerned or the names of borrowing banks themselves. They held that the corporation’s relationship with loan associations and invidual banks was confidential. ths Habit—Trass at Homa

The Decatur team went to pieces for about six i minutes of the second nu”rter hut (hiring the rest of the I game both teams battled on I even terms. L. Stout and Reder were the outstanding scorers for the winners while Gay and Buffenbarger led the Decatur offensive. The difference in the two teams appeared, to be in the defensive power. 1 Two Winamac players were eject--'ed from the floor on ’personal , fouls in the last qusrter and the ' Decatur team’s inability to con-' ■ vert free throws into points cost' the game. Buffenbarger missed several free throws and Gav and Feasel also had a number of gift shots go hay-' wire. The Winamac team, in win- i ning chalked up Its sixth straight, victory.

Second, previously contrived, designed or intended; deliberate, as premeditated murder." The principle involved, by which murder ip the first degree, is this: In the former, premeditated malice required that there should be time and opportunity for deliberate thought and that after the mind conceives the thought of taking the life, the conception is meditated upon and a deliberate determination formed to do the act; that being done, then no difference how soon afterward the fatal resolve is carried into execution, it is murder in the first degree." Read Other Instructions The court also defined the statute relative to first degree murder. In addressing the jurymen, the court said. "You gentlemen, in this case, are the judges of the law as well as of the tacts. You can take the law as given and explained to you by the court; but if you see fit, you have the legal and constitutional right tJ reject the same and construe it for yourselves. Notwithstanding you have the legal right to disagree with the court as to what the law is, still you should weigh the instructions given you 'n this case as you weigh the evidence and disregard neither without proper reason.’’ The court defined what constituted malice. He stated, “The word malice in its popular sense means personal upite, hatred, ill will or hostility to another; yet in Its legal sense it has a wider meaning and characterises all unlawful acts done with an evil disposition and wrongful and unlawful motive, such as proceeds from a heart regardless of social duty and fatally bent on mischief.” The court read 17 of the 18 Instructions prepared by the state and 32 of the 41 Instructions prepared by the defense attorney. The instructions stressed • reasonable doubt, self defense and intent. Around these contention*, the case was largely prosecuted. Jury Retires Following the reading of the Instructions. which began at 9:15 o’clock, the jurymen marched from the court room to the juryroom. The doors to the room were locked by Freeman Schnepp. special court bailiff. The court instructed the jury that it. and when it reached a decision that the bailiff should be

called and he was to notify the I court that they were ready to re-1 port. The court also told the jurymen that it was their duty to elect a foremen as soon as they retired. Case started Nov. 23 The trial was called November 23 and four days were consumed in obtaining a jury. Only one man, (’ha les Gage. 73. Root t iwnsliip farmer, remained on the regular panel. A total of 59 prospective jurors, including three women, were examined and excused by the state or the defense. None of tbe women remained on the jury Members of Jury The jury was Impaneled Friday morning, November 27 with the fol-1 Irwlng members, Joseph L.

Everett Takes StanW Everett took the stand in his i own defense Thursday and told of! the incidents leading to the fatal shooting. He claimed that his act! was done in self defense and that i he did not intend to kill Werling. i that he just shot and saw Werling fall. On the evening of June 29. WerUng, who lived at Pleasant Mills and was employed at the Decatur General Electric plant, with three other companions, went to the St. Mary’s river, where they saw Everett, who spent much time in fishing at a certain point in the river The youths. Thomas Halberstadt. 16. James Halberstadt, Jr.. 19 and Luther Sovine. with Werling intended to go in Swimming when they encountered Everett and a tussel ensued. Two shots were fired by Everett from his automatic 25 caliber revolver The fatal shot struck Werling in the left side and pierced his heart. He died a few minutes later. Everett, in his defense, claimed that the bovs attacked him and that he used his gun in self defense and did not wilfully try to kill Werling. Lodged in Jail Everett was arrested and placed in jail and a charge of murder was filed against 4iim by Prosecuting Attorney Nathan Nelson. He was given a hearing in Squire A. C. Butcher's court and bound over to the September grand jury without bail. He was indicted by the September grand jury and charged with first degree murder. J. E. Anderson was foreman of the grand jury which returned the indictment. The court later fixed the trial date as November 23 and Everett has remained in jail since the commission of the act. Attorneys in Case Assisting Prosecutor Nelson was C. J. Lutz, who was appointed by the court. Everett, who claimed to be a pauper was given an attorney. H M. De Voss, being named by the court as counsel. C. K Walters also assisted the defense. Gerald Fry, 26, of Pleasant Mills, was the chief witness for the defense, who in his testimony claimed that he (Jas an eye-wit-ness to the scrap and shooting. Mrs. Werling wife of the dead man and mother of his unborn child, was one of the important witneeses, besides Werling’s companions, who were balled to fyCase of Much Interest Since the beginning of the trial all sessions of the court have been largely attended. The court room was packed every morning and afternoon and in several occasions it was filled to overflowing. The crowd enfoyed the spirited presentation of both sides of the case by the able attorneys. Final arguments were concluded Friday and the afternoon session lasted until 5:30 o’clock. Attorney Lutz making the final plea to the jury and asking for a conviction. The defense attorneys concluded their plea earlier in the day, asking an acquittal on the grounds that Everett resisted the attacks in self defense. Second Murder Trial The Everett trial is the second murder trial to be tried in the Adams Circuit court in the last two years. In February 1930, Boyd Booher of Geneva was tried for the murder of Arch Beerbower. Booher was charged with putting poison in liquor which Beertower drank Booher was found not guilty by the jury. Arguments in the Everett murder trial were concluded at 5:50 last evening and Judge Erwin announced that he would not give the Instructions until nine o'clock this morning turning the Jury over to Bailiff Schnepp again. After the jury had retired to their room, the Judge told the big audience that

the trial was concluded now except Ing his instruction adding that they were welcome to be present for those if they so desired but admonished them to be on hands before nine o’clock so as not to interfere with the work of the court. He thanked them for the splendid order kept and for the fine spirit in which they had observed all the requests from the court. Mr. Walter's Argument C. L. Walters began his argument at 3:15, speaking an hour and a quarter and ably presenting his side of th- case. He told the jury they had been selected to act in oi) of the mi st important causes evhr heled in the cjunty and that for ten days they had listened to the issues. "You were selected after the most exhausting efforts ever made here because both the state and the defense believed you would do your best. No one regrets mor- than I do that this terrible thing had to i happen in this peaceful community | but your actions now will not recall , the dead. Gentlemen you are hearing a murder trial in which the state seeks to destroy this defendant.” Joe sat during most ot Mr. Wal- ; ters argument with his hand covering his face, an abject looking fig- | ure and his sisters and other rela- ! fives wept as the gravity of the case was discussed by the attori neys. "His life is at stake" said the I speaker. "We are not whining or snif.ling for mercy but we do demand from you. Joe Everett’s peers the right of fair trial. Every averment must be proven beyond reasonable doubt. Murder cannot be committed without a motive and the state has failed utterly to show malice in the heart of my friend Joe Everett. Murders kill for gold, for lust, for hatred but there is no substance of motive here, no evidence of law violations in Joe's record. He did not know Doras Werling, never saw him until there at the river. »ou can see Joe is not a ‘killer by looking at him. He is just a common, every day man. not used to S6O mattresses, he slept in barns and kept his clothes in an outhouse but he has a soul, body and mind and I don't believe an Adams county jury will destroy that body. If you find him guilty the court would have the power to order him electrocuted.” Attorney Walters devoted some time to the evidence of the Halberstadt boys to whom he referred as “Wordy warriors from Pleasant Mills," “the boys with the parrot like stories”, "pugilistic roosters." etc. "What would have happened If JOe had been killed in« that fight? Doras Werling was a victim of circumstance, led to his slaughtei: he was a g uxl man hut willing to take a dare and to brave an issue. He •os r his life. Gentlemen it is better to err on the side of acquittal than conviction, on the side of mercy rather than justice. 1 believe Joe has told a logical story. What would you do if a 180 pound man wait on your back and two huskies were pounding you and yelling, down the ? If you have any red blood in you. you would fight. Joe is a poor world underling with no powerful friends in court but he has rights. There is no evidence that this gun was ever pointed at Werling in such a manner that a bullet could have entered his right breast.” Mr. Walters discussed the evidence of the physicians and exhibited the picture of Everett, concluding with a plea that the jury give Joe a "break.” “Do as you would be done by..’’ Mr. Lutz's Argument Mr. Lutz began his address to the jury at 4:15 and his hour and three quarters was one of the moat brilliant efforts of his forty-five years before the bar of the Ada.ns circuit court. He began by acknowledging his appreciation for their close attention for these days, the interest of the people and the consi(leraetion by every one connected with the trial. "1 am glad [ live in a land like this where men may feel sure of receiving a fair trial and where justice is meted out. This land and its future depends on com munities like this where folks are folks and all are believes in abiding by the law.” "I feel very deeply the responsibility of my position" said Mu. Lutz. “Many years ago I took an oath before this bar as have you and my only desire is to ba as helpful to you as I can.” The e.forts of the defense in this case seems to have been to try to get you not to do your duty because that is always difficult.” The lawyer read the statute and called attention to the fact the duty of the jury Is to find the defendant ‘guilty’ or ’not guilty’ and that It Is the courts responsibility to fix the punishment which In all cases excepting when murder has been committed iu connection with burglary rape o. banditry may be life imprisonment.” "Did this man commit this murder? Thats what you must decide. Thou shalt not kill was a command written on tablets centuries ago and that law has come down through all the ages, i have no feel-
