Telling Points In Ehrmann Legal Battle

THE STATE.

"If it is shown that the killing was done with malice and premeditation then this jury should return a verdict of guilty. "Edward Wade was an innocent bystander and stepped in to protect a woman who was slapped by Howard. "Wade is another victim of the great struggle between capital and labor. "We Will prove that Mr. Ehrmsinn did kill with premeditation."

THE DEFENSE.

By Special Correspondent. ROCKVILLE, Ind., Oct. 1.—In the is' of Emil Ehrmann, Terre Haute frofcthing manufacturer, charged with ^TTTe murder of Edward Wade, rapid headway was made Thursday. Attor-

"Mr. Ehrmann left the factory to go home on the day of the killing and, noticing an unusual crowd coming, returned. "The appearance of Howard was known to be the signal for a general attack on the Ehrmann factory. "Mr, Wade said: "I'll get you,' to Ehrmann and Ehrmann shot in self-defense. "Several weeks before the shooting a bomb, unexploded, was found on the roof of the Ehrmann building, showing that an attack had been planned to ruin Mr. Ehrmann and his business."

a wound in his breast. He entered the factory with Patrolman Olancy and they asked who did the shooting. He said there was no reply from Ehrmann, Reckert or the watchman, but later Ehrmann spoke up and said he shot Wade. Attorney Hamill asked if Ehrmann did not say that he shot him in self-defense. Merring said he did not. The witness said that he did not see Wade's hat, nor his coat, nor the billy which it was said was found on the sidewalk. Mcn-ing said that both Ehrmann and Re-^k^rt gave over revolvers and that the atchman had a revolver in his hand. Hamill asked him if he was not attraxited to the factory by a crowd surging about the door. He said he was. He said while he was in the office he heard talk of lynching among the crowd outside. Attorney Johns objected to this line of questioning.

Merring said that there were fifty or seventy-five people crowding about the factory door. He said, he and Clancy had to knock two or three times before they were admitted to the factory office. He telephoned for the patrol wagon, and Ehrmann was taken away. Hamill asked Merring where he had been employedr previously to becoming a policeman. He said with the Bell Telephone company, with the Standard Wheel company, and with the street car company. He said he left the employ of the street car company during a strike in 1903, and had never been employed by that company since then.

Mrs. Will McCall, a sister of Mrs. Wade, arrived in the court room during the afternoon and sat at the side of the widow of the slain man during the session of court

First Witness Called.

Attorney Sunkle, one of the prosecutors, objected to McNutt reading a statute which Sunkle said was the law of Michigan. McNutt retorted that the law of Indiana was identical.

The first witness called was Harry Clancy, a patrolman. He said: "I was going to work and passed the Ehrmann factory on the car. I heard the shot and made my way through the crowd. I know where the Ehrmann factory is. I have been a police officer nine years. The shooting was on May 27, 1918. I found Wade prostrate on the sidewalk. I did not stop to examine him, but went into the factory. There I saw Ehrmann, Frederick Reckert and the factory watchman and a light complexioned young man. Reckert handed me the gun."

Here the revolver was passed around to the Jury and the witness identified the shells which he said were taken from the gun at police headquarters.

Hamill Takes Witness.

Attorney Hamill took up the cross examination of Clancy. He asked Clancy if he saw a large crowd aibout the building when he arrived at the scene of the shooting, to Which the witness replied that he did. He was asked if he ran from the car which he had just left to the scene of the shooting and replied in the affirmative. "Did you have to elbow your way through the crowd to reach the door of the factory?" Hamill asked Clancy. The latter replied that he did, whereupon Deputy Prosecutor Foley objected to Attorney Hamill's line of. questions, declaring the attorney was putting the answers in the witness's mouth.

In reply to questions Clancy said there were more men than women in the crowd and that they were surging a bout the building in a threatening manner. Clancy said that when he reached the door he found three men in the vestibule, Ehrmann, the defendant, Frederick Reckert, Sr., and a man he took to be the watchman.

Hamill asked Clancy if the latter had directed the three men to go to the back of the building for safety, and Clancy said he did. In reply to a question, Clancy said ho went to the building for the purpose of savins those within. He said he had stepped over the body of Wade, but had not stopped to examine it.

LEVEL ALBERT

Writer Describes Complete Destruction of Town By Heavy Artillery of Invaders.

ATTEMPT TO SPLIT ALLIED AHMY NEARLY SUCCESSFUL

Teutons Push Ahead Vigorously for Two Days, But on Third French Quick Firers Halt Ad-

LONDON, Oct. 1.-3:13 a. m.—Telegraphing from Paris under date of Wednesday, the correspondent of the Daily Mail describes the complete destruction by the heavy German artillery of the open and unfortified town of Albert, eighteen miles from Amiens, which has been the scene during the past few days of a prolonged and terribly murderous artillery battle. He says: "The struggle on the part of the Germans to prevent their right wing being turned compelled them continuajly to push their front further north and to the west, while the allies continually replied by extending their front to overlap the enemy, both sides bringing up large reinforcements. This necessitated long marches of 20 to 25 miles a day and the Germans were repeatedly called upon to make a desperate eort in order to avoid being outflanked, whereby they suffered very heavy losses. "On Saturday they began to realize that their efforts were in vain. They, therefore, changed their tactics and tried to drive a wedge into the allies' front. The point of that wedge was the town of Albert. "The attempt almost succeeded. They brought up and massed their artillery and the French infantry suffered considerably. They kept up a fire so rapid in character that at night the whole sky was lit up by bursting shells. On Sunday they gained perceptibly and on Monday they still press on, but by that time the French had brought up large numbers of their famous quick firing batteries and their deadly fire checked the German advance. "Yesterday the enemy kept up his efforts gamely, but by late afternoon it had clearly failed of its aim. There were French batteries at various points arotlnd Albert, but nonte within a mile of the town. At 5 o'clock German shells and heavy guns began to fall Here is an account of the scene from an eye witness who was on a hill overlooking Albert: "B'unch*s of Shells." 'We were warned along the road to be careful and saw a vast column of people coming away from the town, but nothing happened until at 6:10 we heard a deep boom and a shell evidently of much greater force and size fell in the town. We thought it must be an accident of misdirection and then, to our indignation, the shells began to fall rapidly. They came In bunches. There were several batteries at work and their aim was excellent. I only saw three- burst outside the town. The place oollapsed, literally, like a pack of cards that had been built into houses, as every moment something fresh went. Now it was the town hall, now a group of cottages and then a high wall. 'It reminded one of a scene in a Drury Lane melodrama. One could not believe without an effort that one was seeing a real town shelled. It was just as if some Inventor had made a new kind of .explosive and had invited his friends to see it demolish a model of a town. I stayed there an hour fascinated.'

FORTS BLOCK ATTACK BY GERMAN WARSHIPS

PARIS, Oct. 1.—7:85 p. m.—A Petrograd special to the Havas agency, dated September 30, says: 'The details of the naval engagement which occurred September 24 off the coast at Waindau, a Russian seaport in Courland on the Baltic, have been made public. It appears that German squadron of forty ships of all classes appeared off the harbor and were prevented from landing forces by the heavy fire from the forts. One officer and two sailors were killed and three more were drowned. "The ships withdrew, but on the day following two cruisers returned, opened fire and destroyed the lighthouse They killed a civilian and a number of soldiers, but were driven off again by the fire from the forts."

WHS! ASKS PEOPLE TO RETURN SHIVELY

President Praises Indiana Senator's Loyalty and Devotion to Public Service.' .'

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—Pfeuident Wilson today opened his letter writing campaign for the election of democratic senators and representatives. He wrote letters endorsing Senator Shlvely, of Indiana, and Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, others will be written in the near future.

The letter endorsing Senator Shively was addressed to Majority Leader Kern of the senate and was as follows .f. "I am genuinely surprised that Iany question should have arisen as to whether I want Senator Shlvely returned. I do most decidedly wish it. I have admired Senator Shively's steadfast devotion to duty and to the standards of the party and his unfaltering loyalty in all matters of public policy, as all his party associates have, and I learned to have a very warm personal feeling and admiration for him. It would, in my judgment, be a very great loss to the party and to the senate if he should not be re-elected. I trust that there is no doubt of his re-elec-tion. "May I not add a word of cordial appreciation of the whole Indiana delegation in congress? The members of the house have stood by the administration with unfailing generosity and have made me feel a very deep interest in the political fortunes of every one of them. v"I need not tell you, my deal- senator, what my sentiments are toward yourself."

CAM TO ACCEPT CONFERENCE DECISION

Expected to Resign Office In Face of Villa's Demands After Meeting of All Chiefs.

V-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—Gon. Carranxa's resignation, generally expected today as a step in healing the breach with Gen. Villa and his followers, may not take place until after the conference of military chiefs, seeking to compose the differences, finishes its. work at Zacatecas.

The Zacatecas conference was expected to assemble today. Inferma tlon here was that its sole purpose is to satisfy the demands of Villa. Chief among, those Is Carranza's resignation, and while that may be pledged It was said Carranza probably would follow his original plan of not actually giving up his place until the Mexico City convention chooses a provisional president.

Communications from Mexico, slow in transmission and hampered by a rigid censorship, shed no light on whether this convention, also callled for today, would, begin sessions or whether it would be delayed to await the outoome of the Zacatecas confer6I1C6.

The bridges were mined but were left standing in order, to deceive the Qermans into thinking that the French were retreating hastily. The ruse succeeded: The Germans adva.nced across the bridges in close t&jptifflSiL When several German regimehftrh&d crossed, the French blew yp the bridges and the/Frernfh artillery, started firing at "a hundred' German columns which retreated hastily to*5 the river only to find the bridges gone. "The Frenoh regiments' then advanced with quick ilrers and the merciless slaying continued until dusk. Many Germane threw down their arms and attempted to swim' the river and large numbers were drowned. When night fall came the French brought up searchlights and continued the work of carnage. "The, artillery, threw shells at th

rate of a dozen rounds a minute into the German ranks and varied its tactics by throwing shells into the forest where part of the Geripan force had taken refuge. The burning woods lit up the whole'front of fifteen miles. "In the morning an armistice of two hours was granted to allow the Germans to bury their dead. The French had suffered the loss of only a handful."
