SAID CRAIG WAS A BETRAYERJF GIRLS Prosecutor Inman Makes Startling Charges in Address to the Jury.
NO SPIRIT EVIDENCE Testimony Will Be From Inhabitants of This World, Jury Is Informed. SHELBY VILLE, Ind., Dec. 1. A nry for the trial of Dr. W. B. Craig, Dn a murder charge in connection with the death of Dr. Helen e Knabe, of Indianapolis, was secured at noon today. The jury consists of, eleven farmers and one railroad man. At 1:30 p. m.. East Inman began his opening statement for the prosecution. That Dr. Craig seduced a high school girl and when she asked him to toarry her he said to her, "I pay cash," was the startling and dramatic statement of State Counsel Inman in his opening address to the jury when the court convened for the afternoon session. Find Girl in Florida. "We will endeavor to prove that Dr. Craig did this same tiling with another girl and afterwards compromised with her," continued Mr. Inman. "This girl has just been found in Florida." Attorney Inman frankly told the Jury that the State of Indiana will rely upon no fact nor word which has come from the spirit world, and that the state would produce evidence of strictly a legitimate nature coming from the lips of men and women of this world and not from the world beyond. The defense is expected to endeavor to show, however, that much of the state's evidence was gained through flpiritualistic mediums. "As one of the misfortunes of this case the state will be able to bring Do eye witnesses to this crime before your," said Attorney Inman. "We expect, however, to bring before you a train of circumstances', all pointing unmistakably not only in the direction of murder, but in the direction oi Dr. Craig as the guilty man." Attorney Inman then briefly outlined the lives of Dr. Knabe and Dr Craig, of their first acquaintance through their connection at the Indianapolis Veterinary college. Inman eaid there will be no direct proof of an engagement betwen them to marry, but circumstances will be overwhelmingly in that direction, he said. Unique Angles to Case. As the time for hearing opening statements and the introduction of witnesses approached in the trial of Dr. Craig, the case promised to become fully as unique as the death of the womau physician was mysterious. The selection of a jury without any effort on the part of the prosecution to ascertain the attitude of its members regarding the deatn penalty constituted the first unusual feature, and "was looked upon by the defense attorneys as a distinct sign of weakness of the state's case. Questions put to prospective jurors as to what probable weight "spirittialisf evidencfi wnniri havn vaith than. ! In a murder trial was another unusual proceedure, which may be accounted for by the current reports that some of the private detectives who gathered the evidence against the accused veterinarian, obtained their "leads" through mediums and clairvoyants. Members of the legal profession who followed the examination of talesmen closely, expressed the belief that the particular stress laid upon a juror's attitude toward circumstantial evidence strongly indicated that the state "would fail to produce any direct evidence. Defense Plays Waiting Game. Prior to the opening statement of the prosecution the only information obtainable pointed to the alleged motive as being "another woman in the case," and Attorney Henry N. Spaan for the defense admitted that he was playing a waiting game to ascertain what the prosecution will claim to have againsthc defendant before determining on his opening statement. As the time grew near for the introduction of the more than one hundred! witnesses, interest in the trial increased. The defendant's bearing in the court room impresses one as being more that of a delegate to a convention than that of a man accused of killing a woman by nearly severing her head from her body with a sharp surgical Instrument. Dr. Craig is rnntontlv nfrtmnaniftfl v ha fifteen. venr-olrl rianehtpr MaH.nn ' ivhnso ! mother has been dead many years, and I their apparent devotion is remarked j at all times.

E A STATEMENT Hints He Will Reply Tuesday to the Charges Made By Doctor King. Dr. Stottleir.eyer, trustee of Jefferson township, who was criticised by Dr J. E King, county health officer, in his statement concerning the trouble he had with his trustees la administering the affairs of his office. Hated today that he had no reply to make to the charges preferred against him by Dr King, but would be in Richmond Tuesday and probably would have a statement to give out at that time. It became more evident today that a majority of the townchlp trustees will r.-.ake a determined effort to prevent the reappointment of Dr. Klnjt as county health officer, but the many triends of Dr King have ralliea to his support and considerable pressure will be brought to bear on the commissioners for his retention in the office thoy say he has Riled in such an efficient manner. The commissioners at their January meeting must also fill the important office of county highway superintendent and the ftht for this appointment will l-e as lively the one which will be waged atamst Dr. King, consequently the members of the count? board are seeking dark clouds of trouble on their horizon. NO WORK SCHEDULED FOR JA1LPRIS0NERS Too Many Guards Required on Stone Pile, Officials Say. Fifteen prisoners in the county jail have breathed easier since it was unofficially announced last week that a stole pile would not be placed in the rear of the county jail to occupy their time tills winter. Consequently they will have nothing to do but sleep, eat and rest until they are permitted to leave the institution. The rear fence on the jail property is so weak that It would be Impossible to properly confine the prisoners who might be put to work. It has been figured that not more than three men could be worked at a time, always under the supervision of a guard. This would make the crushed stone so procured just about three times as costly to the county as that obtained already prepared for use. COUNCIL TO HEAR VARIOUHROTESTS Companies Using Poles on Main Street to Appear Before Body. Representatives of companies usinn wooden poles on Main street between Twentieth street and the corporation line will appear before council tonight to protests against the ordinance ordering the removal of such poles, which was passed to third reading at the last session, and will come up tonight for final action. Superintendent Johnson of the city light plant will also enter a protest, since the citp plant has lines extending to Glen Miller park which can not t discontinued or place in underground conduits without a great expense to the plant and tearing up the pavement. No alleys are in the rear of the street which could be used to place the poles. Should the ordinance pass it is probable that the companies using them will replace them with concrete.
