TWO MOTIONS ARE PLANNED FOR NEW TRIAL i CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE' who had been ill all day Saturday! and had asked not to be notified when a verdict was reached. It took 31 minutes after the jury foreman. J. W. Hendricks, notified Freeman Schnepp. special jury bailiff that the jury had reached an agreement, before the court was ready to receive the verdict. Sheriff Johnson stated that Everett was sound asleep when ho called him and that he waited while the defendant combed his hair and dressed. Following the reading of the verdict, Judge Erwin thanked the jurors for their 10-day sacrafire and told them that due consideration would be given their recommendation for leniency. In '0 minutes the conr t house was dark. The 58 people who had stayed [ through the night to hear the verI diet filed out and most of them ' , waited outside until Sheriff John-1 son and Policeman Arthur Clark | and Tom Dowling brought Everett] i down ami loaded him in an autoi mobile to return to jail. There was no demonstration tn] the court room other than the thanking of the jury by Mrs. Wer-i ling and her family. The jurors! were the first to disappear from ] I the court house. Judge Erwin went home immed-| j lately and said he would wait several days before passing sentence. Miss Anna Smith, reporter and i Bernice Nelson, clerk left irnmedI ately after the jury was discharg- ■ •••I. Mr. DeVoss and C. L. Walters held a short conference with | Everett and departed and ProseI cutor Nathan C. Nelson left immediately for his home. In an hour and five, minutes after the reading of the verdict the Daily Democrat had an extra I <>u the streets and with Robert It o'e in charge a crew of young men placed an extra pa-cr al ev-Ty residence in Decatur. Papers also were delivered Sunday morning at Pleasant Mills. Preble and Vera Cruz and ou all rural routes this morning. Coart opened this morning as I usual but the large crowd was ' missing.

now is manager of a printing ■' concern at Martinsville. Ind. He 1 gives his own observations of 1 present conditions. is The present stress on financial 1 affairs i< quite different from any 1 other shortage of money in more ■ than half a century of my obser-1' vation. , j r The big majority do not an- ( nounce the cause, but are satisfied ! to accept the common statement ' of many men in the more promin-, ent walks of life; that. “Prosper- < ity is just around the corner" but 1 fail to lor ate the corner. It seems to me that it is a most ' thorough attempt of a vast num-!' ber of persons trying to readjust! themselves to present conditions, is the main cause of tightening up of the family purse strings. I must indulge in round numbers ( in the following, as my memoran-i dtlm has lieen misplaced: Ten or i . twelve years has seen alwut ten! millions of horses displaced by auto, truck and tractor. The: horses and the feed were raised in the rural vicinity, while that j which takes the place of hors* ! and feed is manufactured in a ■ "large way in cities quite remote 1 and the profit is piled up in thei big- money centers of the country.! i Horses and feed for same pulled a! | vast sum from city to the rural | section, while now the money cur-' rent is in the exact and painful! reverse. While this matter, of it-] I self, is a most disturbing element in money matters it is of small i significance when compared toi the real event which now afflicts! ’he major portion cf the United) ; States. r

One pub”r utility head boasts of operating in thirty states, and getting down to something which I am able to vision, this same utility head states that his compinv serves 820 communities in Indiana. These 820 units formerly owned their plants and the prefit was placed in’ local banks. In some instances, as at Anderson and at Ixjgansport. accumulated profit is th posits show in recent years amounted to a quarter of a million dollars in each city. Tlwee or four years ago the daily profit on a utility at Fiankfort was estimated to be one thousand dollars per day. These three cities are fortunate in keeping possession of their plants. But what of the 82(1? This 820 units must yield a much greater praportlonate profit limn above mentioned municipalities. Is this nrofit left in the local hank to be loaned to s<)me citizen to foster a local enterprise? Most assuredly no. Each month this gigantic sum, of millions, is removed from the state and placed in eastern banks where the local man cannot touch ft, but a foreign country may be accomodated with almost any sum. Go, if you are able to change the alove mentioned condition , by walking a block, you will in reality find prosperity "just around the corner." and so will thirty other states.
