He had left his job on the WPA project last Friday after charging that Edward Ryman, foreman, with filling his shoes with sand while he sat handling a pump in the ditch. When he left Lyman said he would "get you guys." “I shot at them because they wouldn’t let me work," Lyman told police. “I guess I fixed them.

HENS PROVIDE INCOME SHARE Over 19 Million Hens Provide Over 45 Million Dollars In State Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 17.—<U.R) — Thirty years ago more than 11,000.000 hens on Indiana farms enabled Hoosier farm wives to balance their household budgets with an approximately 115,000,000 yearly income. 1 Today the bouse wife's hobby has grown into an industry, with more than 19,000,0000 hens adding approximately $45,000,000 —a sizeI able portion of the total Hoosier farm income—to the resources ot’ Indiana agriculturists. Research by the agricultural experiment station and department of agricultural extension of Purdue university has been a chief agency in such advancement, acj cording to an article in the "Purj due Alumnus.’’ Long ago Purdue research workers found that corn alone, such as was sprinkled on the ground by i the farm wife, meant little in the • “egg life" of a chicken. It was learned that some kind of animal protein in the form of meat scrap, tankage, butter milk, sweet or sour milk or some other protein in the ration was needed to make the hens produce properly. Research was conducted in other fields and the information has been passed on to the Hoosier agriculturist through conferences, radio broadcasts and publications. More than 2,600,000 persons attended farm meetings held during ,one year. Although there was considerable duplication of people in this huge figure—which is almost as much as the total population of Indiana—it is indicative that practically every farm family was reached by the information. There are 15 departments of the experimental station, including agronomy, animal husbandry, agricultural engineering, agricultural statistics, botany, diary husbandry, entomology, farm management, forestry, home economics, horticul-1 ture, poultry, research laboratory.

Mr. Walters indicated that the defense would attempt to prove that the shooting was done in self defense. James Halberstadt, on tho stand begun his version of the shooting this morning. Mr. Halberstadt said that Doras Wer 11 ng , his brother-in-law, Thomas Halberstadt, Luther bovine and himself determined to go swimming in the St. Mary's river at a point near Pleasant Mills where it runs through an old quarry. A bank, arises above the water about 25 or 39 feet at this point. The young men walked down a path to the water’s edge and tossed a stone into the water. He stated that at that time he did not see Joe Everett. Joe Everett, according to Halberstadt, heard the splash, as he sat in his boat 250 feet away across the quarry. He warned the boys not to swim in the river as long as he had trout lines strung in it. He then rowed his boat over to a point about 25 feet down the bank from a log where the boys were sitting. Warns Boys He walked up to the hoys and warned them not to go swimming. 1 Ht.lbersladt testified that Doras Werling told the boy.-' to swim if
they wanted to but uot to argue' with Everett. Everett pulled out a gun, Halberstadt alleged, and threatened I the hoys. Luther Bovine, James Halberstadt, and his brother, Thomas Halberstadt, ran up the bank. Werling remained. When the boys were half way up the bank they heard a shot. Luther Sovine kept on running but the two Halberstadt boys returned to help their brother-in-law. They saw Werling just arising from the log, the witness continued. The three of them wrestled with Everett and later heard a second shot. Werling fell back into the river and Halberstadt stated that the gun wa-s put into his side by Everett who stated that he (Everett) was going to kill him next. The gun failed to fire, according to Halberstadt. Everett then ran away and Thomas pulled Werling from the I water. James ran to Pleasant Mills for help. Two Shots Werling was carried to the top l of tho 25 foot bank and expired i while the late Dr. J. W. Vizard, who was immediately called, at-; tended him. The body was taken . to Decatur, where an autopsy was performed. Everett was taken to ; the Adams county jail. Prosecutor Bosse announced in; his opening statement that he would attempt to prove that Everett shot Werling the first time in the cheat, the bullet coursing through the lungs and coming to a . stop at an artery just below the ! heart. The severance of this artery, Bosse said, would cause Werling to lose a half an ounce of i blood every time his heart beat, 1

' but it would be possible for him to move about for some time after the shooting. The second bullet went through EvereU'e hand and lodged in Werling’s leg near the knee. Mr. Bosse said that the evidence would show that Werling did uot feel either of the bullets. This afternoon, defense aXtorneys C. L. Walters and John L.
