DUESTROW ON TRIAL.

Defense to Prove That the Prisoner Was Drunk at the Time of the Murder. Union City, Mo., Aug. 1.—A jury having been obtained to try for the second time Millionaire Arthur Duestrow of St. Louis for killing his wife and child, and the opening addresses having been delivered, the taking of testimony is now in progress. A number of witnesses for the prosecution have been examined, but thus far the state has been unable to show premeditation, which the circuit attorney had announced he would bring out in the testimony. The defense is confining itself to prove that the prisoner was drunk at the time of the murder.
