“Whe. I w»» a eblld," ab. said; ,’*Bremember my father used to be away from borne a great deal. As far back as I can remember, be had frenzied. attacks and, my mother would take us Children out of the house. M. Hfs eyes glared and protruded, his face was’ drawn and he gesticulated at these tomes.” At this point, Mrs. Haas became so affected that she was: taken weeping from the.court. When told to relate the circumstances, of some one of these attacks of frenzy, Miss Poole said that they occurred so. often that it. was impossible to detail any one ’,., .; - ■ He blamed my mother for- everything," she said, “When anything; went wrong he always said she was at faulty and that she was, keeping him from making a success. “When he became angry, he used to wreck chairs and furniture in the house and he would throw things oiftin the yard. He had terrible headaches. Before they came on, for a qpuple of (Jays, he would complain that everything was wrong. Then they would come on and last for three days. He would have to go to bed with them. As time went on, the headaches became more frequent until he would have them three or four times a month and frequently attacks two or three times a week," "When visitors were at our home he would be calm and pleasant at times, but at other times, he would become ,frenxied. We haven’t had many visitors in the last few years. There have been many men worked at our farm. Father Wotfld get one of these frenzies and the men would leave. « , been home three months of each year during the past six years and usually on Sunday. Father was horde about half the time. Then, if we had help, they did the work, if not, mother and the children did it “We had hogs on the place and he never seemed to know where they be-> longed. He Would keep changing them from ope field to another.” W. H. Robertson, of the’’ Benton County Review, who testified for the state earlier in the trial, was called by the defense and again told how he procured the story of Poole's ver-

GRACE POOLE TESTIFIES IN FATHERS BEHALF.

Defense Will Close Case Today and State Will Take a Day or Two for Bebattal Evidence. The Poole trial will end much sooner than was expected a few days ago. In fact, it is probable that the defense may complete its evidence today. The murder, trial was continued Monday. Elmore Barce, attorney for the defense, had Miss Grace Poole, the defendant’s daughter, on the stand, and she was. for the most part very cool and collected.. At the morning session Poole’s other daughter, Mrs. John .Haas, of Kramer, and her husband, were present. She cried so much that she was taken from the court room. . .-pd Grace Poole went on the witness Stand at 10 b’clock Monday morning. She was to identify a paper marked “defendant's exhibit No. 27,” which is a* document in John W. -handwriting,andwhich, was written by him in the Benton county jail after his arrest, charged with murdering Joe Kemper. It is Poole’s written statement of his versionof the killing of Kemper and it was given to W. H. Robertson and later published in the Benton Review, a Fowler newspaper. \ -.7 y Miss Poole identified the .handwriting as that of her father and Mr. Barce offered the statement in evidence. To the state’s objection the jury was retired while the attorneys argued the competency. Judge DeHart held the document relevant as throwing some light on the coh<?»* tion of Poole’s mind- Mr. Barce then, with difficulty, read the document to the jury. It is crudely written, the spelling and phrasing is poor, and at ‘lines it is almost unintelligible,. ; Mr. Hall, of the state, then requested that the court allow him to ffiad the same document to the jury. The court gave assent and rapidly Mr. Hall read the story to the jury. Mr. Barce objected to the way Hall was reading it, saying that he was adding words that weren’t in the story, Mr. Hall became angry and said, <? Mr. Barce, you let me read this in my own way, butt in,” With a smile, Barce sat down and allowed the state’s attorney to finish without another comment- The document was then presented to the Jury for examination. Miss Grace Poole stated that she is teaching school for her second year in Jasper county. She is 21 years ni<i .....

Several "Jaeks, the Hair Clippers,” Brought Before Juvenile Judge.

“Jack, the hair clipper,” has broken loose in Rensselaer. Not one Jack, but a number of them. Their victims have fortunately not been girjp or they might not have fared so tightly as they did at the hands of Juvenile Judge Hanley. .TrtUmt Officer Steward, who is also the juvenile police officer, brought Roy Koepkpy, Orphie Gant, Will Elgelsbach and Iler, Walker before the court Monday afternoon. They were charged with having captured boys en route to class parties and clipped their hair. Chester Zea was the complainant. Judge Hanley gave the boys a lecture and ordered that they be kept at hame after 7:30 o’clock in the evening. In the most eases the hair clipping has not been a very serious offense, only small locks i>efng cut from the heads of boys en route to parties, but on a few occasions the handling of and one dr two , boys are said to have had almost all their hair cut qff. As is the rule when a practice of this kind is not broken up it soon runs to extremes and a repetition would probably bring a much more severe punishment. \ '
