Arguments for the Kellars.

Terre Haute, Ind., Feb. 12— Mr. Beasley, for the defense, and Mr. McCabe, for the same side, occupied the time of the court Tuesday in the Kellar-Shanks trial. Both argued that the probability was that Clara Shanks committed suicide, but that if suspicion pointed to any one as her murderer it was to hex brother, Dan Shanks, who, Mr, McCabe said, would have been harder to clear of the charge on circumstantial evidence than the Kellars.
