Camille Next Attraction At the op era House.

- Local theatre-goejs will experience a rare treat on Thursday night, when Miss Helen Amelia Reid will appear at’ the Ellis Theatre in Mr. J. J. Boyle’s new dramatization of Alexander Dumas’ famous masterpiece, Camille. Messrs. Bronson & Boyle, under whose direction Miss Reid is tonring, have secured an unusual strong cast for her support. The play, while being a dramatization of Monsieur Dumas' famous work, Is thoroughly modern in every respect, eliminating the objectionable features of the previously arranged version, replacing those scenes with intense dramatic situations which are found only in the better class of productions now on tour. . One performance will be given in Rensselaer and our patrons can be assured of no better entertainment than will be that of Camille, with Miss Helen Amelia Reid in the title role on next Thursday night. Reserved seats may be had in advance at Jessen’s., --7 •/t-.':--." 1 •

EMORY POOLE TESTIFIED AGAINST FATHER MONDAY

Told of His Suspicion That Kemper Had Been Murdered and of Finding Dismembered Body.

LIVED IN FEAR OF PARENT

Young Han Told Story Calmly in . Presence of Crowded Courtroom State Closes Case—The CrossExamination Continues Today. Wsth the court room crowded to the doors, the Poole murder case was continued Monday morning in the circuit court. The. majority of the spectators present were women. John Emory Poole, son of the defendant, the-! nineteen-year-old boy who is doing 1 all In his power to have his father convicted of murder In the first degree, was the stated principal witness and was very shrewd on the witness stand. His examination by the | state took until 3 o’clock, the defense cross-examined him until 4:30, when court was adjourned until 10. o’clock Tuesday morning, when young Poole again went on the witness stand and the cross questioning continued. Noth- * ing sensational developed in the evil- 1 deuce. 7: t While her brother was testifying against her father, the daughter, Grace Poole, sat near her father and the attorney for the defense, Elmore Both she and Poole were very calm throughout the examination, tlie fort mer offering suggestions to her father's counsel. ■ 7 As the trial opened and before the state continued with its examination of witnesses, Judge DeHart called the attention of both sides to a portion of Mrs. Poole’s testimony in which' she related a conversation she and her husband had had on the occasion of the first search for a body on the-farm, an investigation which proved unsuccessful. In her testimony she said that Poole said to her, "If they find a body we will be sent to, the penitentiary.” She asked, “They won’t find a body, will they?” to whidh Pook answered, "The neighbors do anything to persecute us. They might bury a body here and dig it up.” Judge DeHart held that this came under the rule of confidential communication and he ordered the cdurt stenographer to strike it from the

■ record and the jury to disregard this portion of Mrs. Poole’s testimony. Henry Julian, of Kramer, Ind., was the first state witness examined by the state. He said that he became acquainted with John Poole in April. 1911, at Kramer, when he made arWork' hU*fc ' irgton. He worked there six and a half days and remembered meeting Emory Poole in an east field of the Poole farm in the latter part of ithei same month. He went with Emory to the spot where a body was later exhumed and with an iron endgate *u<l, he prodded the ground where Emorv suspected the body was buried. He said that the rod went into the ground a short distance, but could not be pushed farther. When the rod was withdrawn it had a bad odor, as if having touched something dead, Julian said. 7 ;■/' v The witness then said that he went to plowing and Emory began digging and called him over to the spot soon. There he saw the remains of a skull. Julian then said that he went to the adjoining farm, Francis and held his team while Moyer went tn the Poole farm and looked at Emory’s discovery. He- then testified that he saw the body dug up, that there were hog entrails and the skeleton of a' small animal on top of it. The body, he said, had no clqthing on or about It. Julian said that he left the Poole farm three days later. The witness was then cross-examined by Mr. Barce _/ and told of the appearance skull as it was taken from the ground. He said that the top of the skull was badly mashed and the sides cracked. At 11:15 o’clock John Emory Podle went on the witness stand. He appeared very nervous at first, but very quickly gained his composure and answered questions in a dear,, deci“tUTiimk kM t!,«t he w M the son of John W. and Flora J. Poole, and that he was nineteen year% old. He said that he lived at home until he was 15, after which he worked at various places. The only work he ever did at home, he said, was to lay some tile. The first time he ever saw Kemper was in May, 1907, when his father brought him to the farm. He was
