RENSSELAER, INDIANA- SATURDAY, DEUEMBER 2, 1»1L

POOLE'S BROTHER TELLS OF JOHN’S ERRATIC LIFE.

Testifies tsi Several Freaks Committed by Bret er and of Resemblance i,? /7 to His Harsh Father. But two witnesses, Poole’s brother. Williaii W. Poole, of Wabash county, and his niece, Mrs. Alvertie Hauk, of Goodland, Ind., were cn the. witness stand for the defense in the John W. Poole murder trial Friday. Both made very good witnesses for the defense in the insanity plea. WiiltaA' Poole has been in court, with his brother constantly during the course qf the trial and the defendant seems to take comfort in his presence. He is Q’dSf and larger than the defendant, but bears a striking resemblance. He gave his testimony in a’ slow, distinct voice, tefling of his early home, of his father and of the life of the defendant Several times in the course o's the testimony, as he spoke <of his father and brother, hie voice became >”i«kv with emotion. At the end of his testimony in an almost inaudible voice he said that he thought his broth er John of unsound mlhd. Mrs. Hauk, who was on the witness stand first and who was the first relative to be called by the defense, told of the incidents connected with her uncle during the twenty-one year ? that she had known him. Both of the witnesses’ testimony was unshaken by the cross-examination of the state. At the beginning of the afternoon session, proceedings in the trial came to an unexpected standstill when sheriff Frazier told Judge DeHart that Poole was threatened With pneumonia and was iIL He sat in his seat, with his head low and eyes closed and his every appearance was that of a sick mag. His face was dull and asheu and there was a pathetic stoop to his shoulders. Judge DeHart immediately summoned Dr. C. W. Shill, the jail physician, who came to the court room and examined Poole. He reiorte-l that it would not endanger the defendant to proceed with the trial, so it was resumed. Judge DeHart said that he would.not keep a sick man in the court room under any circumstances and made sure that Poole was not in danger before he would* allow the case.to continue. Mr. Barce, attorney for the defense, said to a- reporter Friday that he would require about two more days to complete the examination of witnesses for the defense. In that case the trial will probably not last more than another week. Judge DeHart adjourned the trial Friday until Monday morning at 10 o’clock.

When court convened, the defense attempted to present as evidence a transcript of an insanity inquest held before a justice of the peace and physicians in Benton county who sent Poole to the insane hospital. The state' objected to the introduction of the record and Judge DeHart retired the jury while the attorneys argued the question of the admissibility as evidence. The state's objection was base* 1 on the ground that the law does not require the insanity Inquest commission to determine whether the person is insane, but only to ascertain if he is a person in need of treatment at the insane hospital. The second point in the state’s objection was that the law requires no record of the inquest to be kept and the third objection was that the state had no opportunity to inquire into the truth and accuracy of the records. Mr. Barce, for the .defense, held that the mere fact that the justice of the peace committed Poole to the insane hospital was prima fade evidence that Poole was regarded of unsound mind. Judge DeHart said that he had been considering the question for some time. He quoted jseveral authorities, then ruled the matter incompetent and sustained the state’s objection. Mrs. Alvertie Hauk, of Goodland, niece of Poole, told of his erratic man ner and said she thought him insane. William W. Poole, of Wabash county, the brother who has been constantly with his brother in court, was the next witness called by the defense. He Is 61 years old and was born in Maryland, one of six children. John W. Poole was next to the youngest child he said. The father died when the witness was fourteen years old. "My father was a man who looked like John,” the witness said, "being heavy set and Hot very tall. He was of a nervous temperament, was wild when excited and had a bad temper. He often beat the children. When anything would happen suddenly, my father would become excited and whip all of us children. Onee when a pole my brother was holding slipped and nearly hit my father, he took a heavy rope and hit my brother with such force that he

JOE MARSHALL KILLED; PARTICULARS NOT KNOWN.

Has Been a Government Forest Ranger and Is Supposed to Have Met Death at His Work, u Joe Marshall met sudden death r few days ago at WiHits, Mendocino county, CaL Brief information reached Rensselaer today, but the particulars have not been learned. Joe Is the oldest son of Ralph Marshall and a graduate of the Rensselaer* high school. He was a brilliant student, but overstudy unbalanced his mind and following bls graduation he roamed over the country; visiting almost every state. He learned a little of the printer’s trade and worked at it for some time. He returned to Rensselaer after ex tensive traveling about seven years ago and became rapturously imbued with, socialism. He was regarded as mentally unbalanced. On the evening of April 3rd, 1905, he went to the residence of Dr. I. M. Washburn, who then lived on College ♦ Avenue, and walking into the house without a word, pulled a revolver and fired at Dr. Washburn. The ball entered the doctor’s leg but he sprang to his feet and grappled with Marshall, succeeding in disarming him. Marshall went down the river and was found there by officers. Apparently he had become a raving maniac. He was sent to the asylum and after being confined there tor several months was released. He returned here and after being here Jor some time, went to California, where his father was. living. Later the Marshall family all moved to that state. The news of Joe’s death was received here by Mrs. Frank Kresler, in a letter from her brother, Leon Eigelsbach, who is now at the home of his brother-in-law, Bert Marshall, at Medford, Ore. It stated that Bert had received a telegram from his father, that Joe had been killed but gave none of the particulars. From W. J. Wright, who was in Oregon last year, visiting Bert Marshall; it is learned that joe had been employed for some, time as a government forest ranger in California, It is presumed that he met his death While in the line of duty. While Dr. Washburn has never been afraid of “another attack from Marshall, the news of his death nevertheless will be somewhat of a relief to him. The bullet which entered the doctor’s leg is still there, but it causes him no trouble whatever. ( 7;, Joe Marshall was one of the brigh' est young students that ever graduated from the high school in this city but the dethronement of hia mind wrecked what would otherwise have been an extremely life. News of the death will be received with much regret by those who regarded him in youth as having the prospect of a great future.
