MAY NOT GO TO JURY UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.

; > Progress of Poole Argument Not as Rgpld as Has Been Eepected— Rjrrr Wan Eloquent Special to The Republican. Lafayette, Ind., Dec. 16th—Attorney Grant Hall had not completed his closing argument for the state at noon today, and Judge .DeHart adjourned until Monday morning at 10 o’clock tfhen he wip again take up the channel of his argument He spent all this mornipg talking against the defense’s theory of insanity and made a strong argument for the state. If he is able to finish by Monday noon, as he expects, then Judge DeHart will give his instructions to the jury in the afternoon and the jury will retire, for the purpose of reaching an agreement immediately. Elmore Barce, the attorney who is defending John W. Poole, occupied all of Friday morning in completing the argument he began the day before. Thus, Attorney Grant Hall, for the state, did not begin his closing argument until the noon recess Friday. In making bis argument, Attorney Barce talked seven hours and closed with a very eloquent appeal. He brought all his ability as an orator to the fore and his word painting was brilliant and powerful. He asked the jury to deal with John Poole in a spirit of Christianity, and said: “The state calls for vengeaiyle, but I call for pity. I rest this/ case now in your hands. Under the guidance of Clod’s eternal providence we are fast reaching that stage in our civilization when truth And justice shall prevail and passion and "prejudice lie dead. Let the spirit of the Christ of Gethsemane and Calvary direct you in your verdict.” Grant Hall began his argument with the statement that. Kemper was a good natured, ignorant German, who tolerated Poole’s ill treatment and deception. He said that the money Poole owed Kemper and the $22 Kem per had on his person when he was killed constituted the motive for the murder. Mr. Hall described vividly his theory of how Kemper was killed. He said that on the fatal Sunday afternoon Poole and Kemper were sitting in the dining room alone, all the other members of the family being art ay from the farm. Kemper, he said, was probably preparing to leave Pooles employment and was sitting at the writing desk figuring what was owing tp him. Poole, grasping the psychological slipped out of the room to.the hallway, got the shotgun and stole quietly back into the room, up behind the unsuspecting Kemper, leveled the gun at his bead and fired, foully murdering him. Mr. Hall took up the evidence of the defense’s expert witnesses and picked fiaws in it to the testimony of the state’s medical experts. Against the defense’s theory that Poole carried Kemper into the house after he shot him, and washed the head, leaving the blood stains on'the floor, Mr. Hall said to wash it, he would have had to turn the body on its chest and that in that case the water would have run down both sides of the head and the spot on the floor would not have been uniform and solid. “The defense says that Poole went to meet his son on that fatal day,” Mr. Hall said, "to tell him of the accidental shooting, but that Emory rebuked him. Poole went to meet his son and to follow him to see if he would discover anything. If he had, he would probably be today occupying the grave with Joe Kemper, and no one would have discovered them.” M!r. Hall went over many other points in the case,‘denying the evidence and giving his proofs. At the afternoon session the crowd was so great that the doors of the court room were dosed. Mr. Hall did not complete his argument and resumed agpln this Saturday morning. It was thought probable that the court would adjourn until Monday after Mr. Hall had. completed, and that the court would give its instructions to the jury at that time.

AUTO BUILDING SHOWN BY MOVING PICTURES.

The Studebaker Co. Gives Demonstration at The Princess of How Their Cars are Made. A practical demonstration of the building of automobiles was given /at the Princess theatre by the Studebaker Corporation this afternoon. 10,000 feet of pictures, said to be the largest commercial film ever made, gave eivws of the various operations incidental to the manufacture of motor cars from the raw pig iron to the finished car. The demonstration was in charge of the Rensselaer Auto Sales Co. The experience is exactly the same as though you visited the factories. As one man aptly, remarked, ' You can almost smell’ the gasoline.'* About one hour and forty-five minutes te required to exhibit these pictures. If you actually walked through the eight immense plants of the Studebaker Corporation, stopping long enough in front of each machine to witness one complete operation, it would take four months to make the tour of inspection. Watching this wonderful set of pictures—all life size—you realize for the first time, what a $7,000,000 investment in machinery, means. A large number of automatic machines are utilized with the result that the automobiles are assembled (without touch of hammer, reamer or file. Perhaps the most marvelous piece of machinery in the entire factory is a magazine automatic which, without attention from a human being, feeds itself, performs eight distinct and sep arate operations, and discharges the finished part. This machine was invented by Miss Kate Gleason. Verily, the women of the present day are invading all fields. One film shows a battery of ten automatic machines, each performing seven different operations, all controlled by one lone workman. In other words, this man, with the aid of automatic machinery, performs the exact amount of work that would require seventy men under less modern methods. It is almost impos sible to give an adequate idea of the realistic panorama that the films pre sent to the eye. At the outset, one

We want to encourage you to buy Shoes as Christmas Presents, because many have come to the conclusion that a present should be something useful. To encourage you in this we agree to exchange, after Christmas, any shoe purchased before that time which does not fit. We give you below a few ideas:

DB. BEED’S CUSHION SOLE SHOES. Dr. Reed’s Cushion Sole shoes are acceptable presents for men and women. They afford the foot comfort which is so essential to happiness,, while at the same time they protect the feet from the damp and cold, which is so' prevalent at this season of the year. Ask your neighbor about them. SHOES. The son and daughter can buy work or dress shoes-for father or mother. We have the reliable kind for both* of them. Walkover’s and Reed’s for dress and the Barnyards for work can not be equaled. SLIPPERS. Slippers make a much appreciated present. We have them for, men, women and children. V ■

sees hundreds of thousands of tons of pig iron being wheeled into the receiving bins and then is presented the chemists at work. Next' is seen the heat tests and then the foundry and drop forging departments in full operation. Then conies the machine shop, and. the automatic tool room, and finally the complete car looms up, a monument to modern engineering and production science. These pictures are of great educational value, and* are also intensely interesting. This method of demonstrating the working and the immensity of the Studebaker Corporation plants, is tiie clever and uniqup idea of General Manager Walter E. Flanders. It is the first time that any manufacturer of automobiles has taken the “show me” method of convincing the public that it’s cars are manufactured by the most up-to-date methods and out of the very best obtainable material, and that the work is all done in it’s own plants. One marked impression which the pictures make on the public,/is the possibilities of quantity production through the use of automatic machinery. One then begins to appreciate the complete meaning of the phrase, “To err is/'human, to be perfect is automatic."

Mrs. C. W. Coen Underwent Surgieal Operation in Hospital.

J. L. Brady received a very encouraging telegram today, Saturday, from Rochester, Minn., informing him that Mrs. Charles W. Coen, of South Bend, formerly of this city, had successfully undergone a surgical operation for the removal of an internal goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland of the neck. T[ha operation was performed in the hospital of the famous Mayo Brothers, at Rochester, Minn. A minor and preparatory opbration was performed several days ago, by which the arteries of the neck were severed and tide to get them out of the way of the goiter. The operation was a delicate one and the outcome was filled with uncertainty but the telegram Mr. Brady recelyed was very sanguine that success would be the outcome.
