The purchaser on the first day of March shall be considered the owner on that day.’’ Purchasers of PERSONAL PROPERTY as well as Real Estate should remember that “TAXES FOLLOW PROPERTY when the taxes thereon remain unpaid.” “COUNTY ORDERS in favor of persons owing delinquent taxes can not be paid without settlement of taxes.” “It is the duty of the TAX -PAYER to state definitely on what property he desires to pay taxes, in whose name assessed, and in what township or town it was assessed. THE TREASURER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE for the penalties and charges resulting from taxpayer’s omission to so state. The Tax Duplicate for any year is made with reference to property on the first day of March of that year and remains unchanged for the year as to the showing, of property, and in whose name assessed and taxed. Transfers after the first day of March of any year will never appear upon the Duplicate of that year’s taxes. Those who pay taxes of property in trust, and whose taxes are'complicated, such as undivided estates, etc., should pay early enough to avoid the rush of the Iwst days, as it requires time to make divisions and separate receipts. - Road Receipts are Not Negotiable, and Must b=s Presented in Payment of First Installment, and then only by the Owner of the Land. The Annual Sale of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY’ IN FEBRUARY, 1912. ALSON A. FELL, Treasurer of Jasper County, Indiana.

THE POOLE TRIAL

(Continued From First Page.)

studied psychology and had closely examined Poole. He said Poole was suffering from “overdeveloped ego.’-’ The witness related a number of instances to show that Poole talked incoherently and had difficulty in following any line of thought to its conclusion. This testimony was the first introduced by the defense in support of the opening statement made by Elmore Barce, Poole’s attorney. Discussing Emory Poole, the son who has turned against his father, and who was the state’s principal witness, attorney Barce said: “One of the .first indications of insanity is the perversion of human affections, and this son of John Poole’s is insane.” “His conduct in asking people to come to court and hear him testify against his,father is sufficient evidence of his mental condition. I have no words of censure for this unfortunate boy. I have only pity for him. I have never seen such a spectacle before;, as that of son seeking to hang father, and I trust I never shall see one like it again.” Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 29.—An important ruling for the defense of John W. Poole, charged with murder, was made when Judge De Hart decided to admit in evidence official records showing that Poole was committed to the Central Hospital for the Insane at s Indianapolis. When court convened today Judge De Hart heard arguments on the admissibility of Poole’s record in the insane hospital, which .had been offered by the defense yesterday, and" to. which the state objected. The principal basis of the objec-

tion Was that the papers failed to show the day on which Poole was released on furlough, and were not complete. Judge De Hart held this as not a fatal defect. I The paper showed Poole was an inmate of the asylum for seven months at the time of his first detention and was released on furlough, having improved under treatment, but in 1897 he was returned to the asylum suffering from recurrent mania. He was homicidal and not suicidal, and, was suffering from hallucinations and delusions, but was released in 1899 on furlough, according to the evidence submitted. Mrs. Frank Banes, a sister of Mrs. John W. Poole, and Mrs. Manley Marlowe, a sister-in-law, were in court today in behalf of, the defendant. Poole’s business interests took him into Jasper county a great many times and many persons who come in contact with him there’will appear before the trial closes. Attorney Barce has indicated the defend-' ant will not be placed on the witness stand. By the time the prosecution ended its cross-examination of Dr. Frank B. Thompson, expert witness for the’ defense, yesterday, much of the testimony in Poole’s favor was modified. The! witness was forced to admit that, if the charge of shot entered Joe' Kemper’s head at the base of the brain, as Poole says, the head must have been held in one particular position to be injured in the manner shown by its pres-j ent condition. Dr. Thompson.' was also forced to admit that’ a person might have all the pe ! cularities in the shape of his' head that Poole possess and still ! be rational. The presence of other conditions, it was brought out, would be necessary to de- ( termine whether the person was

ratipnal or not Dr. Thompson,' however, clung to his original statement that Poole was insane and had* been so from birth.i Much time was spent in the cross-examination, the state going into details on the subject. James Hollingsworth of Benton county, a' neighbor of Poolc’sl testified he was passing the Poole farm when Poole asked him to come in, and held erect a con-' trivance which he called a der-j rick. The witness said the device was impracticable and evidently the idea of a crazy man. He said Poole stopped at his farm with a load of hogs and! told him he had another load' coming two or three miles be-1 hind without a driver. He said Poole’s manner was wild, and in his opinion Poole was mentally; unsound. Charles Bowers, an-*, other Benton county man. said Poole was driving some cattle past Bowers’ farm when he stepped into the house and e. tinned: “I wish I had a v ow that would give beer!” The witness! said he regarded Poole as insane.! Henry Heck said he worked for Poole several months in 1902 and on one occasion, while Poole was! digging out peach trees,» Heck was plowing furrows along the row. Heck said Poole kept him running back and forth from the field to the orchard and when Heck asked why he did this! Poole exclaimed: .“I donff know. I don’t know what in hell I am doing!” He' said on one occasion Mrs. Poole pulled some onions from the truck garden and it angered Poole. Seizing an ax, he started; for his wife, said the witness, andj exclaimed, “I’ll split your head open?” Heck said Mrs. Poole shouted: “John, John, put that ax down!” arid Poole seemed to recover himself and throwing down the ax he started away

through the orchard crying. The witness said he had frequently seen Poole gesticulating and talking to himself. At times, he said, Poole would stop and assume a listening attitude when nobody was around. Sometimes, he said, Poole sold plum trees for cherry trees. Frank Wetzel, superintendent of the Union Mission was called to the witness stand, and told about working for Poole twenty years ago, selling fruit trees for the defendant. He testified that, in his opinion, Poole was insane.
