JURORS BEGIN BALLOTING SHORTLY AFTER 5 O'CLOCK

At exactly 6 o'clock the HasemeierBentlage case went to the jury, after three solid hours of argument on the part of Henry U.' Johnson, atorney for the plaintiff. Attorney Johnson made a strong appeal for the H. C. Hasemeler company during which he assailed John F. Robbins for what he called "an uncalled for attack" upon the business integrity of the Boston Store. He said that throughout the trial, the defense has attempted to evade the issue in the case and make ou that, all three of the Hasemeler brothers, sole owners of the Boston Store, were thieves and robbers and to heap coals on the fire,' finally called them "liars." . These statements by John F. Robbins this morning raised the ire of Henry U. Johnson. "Is this jury made up of a .set of

JOHNSON PRAISES COURT FOR DEMANDING RESPECT

"My God, gentemen, what have we come to in this county," said Henry U. Jchnson as the jury in the Hasemeierllentlage case reconvened in the priva'e jury chamber after the audience, which bod several times been warned to refiaii' from any demonstration, began hissing at which Judge Sparks tn-.mcdiately ordered the court room cjeured. "I will tell you gentlemen, this is getting to te a sad state of affairs when a case cannot be tried in all justice," s iid Heavy U. Johnson. "It looks as if it were an organized effort somewhere to persist in 'his kind of action. I hops that this judge, which everyone '.nii learned to respect, will not carry Ircl; to his people in Rushville, the story that tho people of Wayne county re ungrateful. Society Mrs. T. J.

numbskulls and fools?" shouted Mr. Johnson, during the course of his argument. "The defense would seem to make it appear so. You can see the effects of honest figures." "If that figure of 83,204.00 were not hers, why did she carry the sum into her own totals?" said the attorneys in reference to an item which John Robbins had referred to as being, merely "fictitious," and not having any real meaning. "She had placed it to the credit of the company twice. You men of the jury can't get away from the fact by grinding the face of Chris Hasemeler. "Will you, John Robbins, feel that you have been fair in this case by assailing Chris Hasemeler? You have no cause and it shows that you cannot meet the facts except ly innuendo." "I say it is not the people of Wayne county and it is unfortunate that so many people have to suffer on account of the littleness of a few people who want to defeat justice." "All of us should leel grateful to this judge who wants this case to be tried through justice," he concluded. He is a fearless judge and he scorns any attempt to bring you gentlemen to an unjust verdict." Later on in his argument, Mr. Johnson again referred to the ungrateful conduct of the audience in making demonstration cf feeling. "The defense wants ycu men of the jury to decide this eastaccording to mob spirit. I tell you tirat is all it is. My God, what has the civilization ccme to? Is this jury box a fraud, a travesty on justice?" . . . . j gave a reading. A social hour follow- j ed and refreshments were served.

0m eCOURT IS CLEARED BY PRESIDING JUDGE FIRST TIME IN LIFE ' "This is the first time that I have ever had to clear the court room because of the discourtesy of the spectators," said Judge Sparks after he had instructed the sheriff to carry out his orders. "I have often presided at trials where it was necessary to warn the spectators against any demonstrations but this was the most general discourtesy that I have ever witnessed," he said. . - During the last few days of the trial, Judge Sparks has found it necessary to warn the spectators and several times slight demonstrations have been made although they have never been general. John Markley, who for many years has been bailiff at the court rooms said that never has this occurred in the history cf the Wayne circuit court i as far as he has ever heard.

"Yon have tried to damage bis business, and .furthermore you made the statement this morning that the corporation would' go to the wall in "two years. Do yon call that basing yov argument on facts. Where are the facta to-prove that, Mr. Robbins. What right .have you got to say that when your arguments are supposed to have been founded on evidence aa presented in this case." ; : ... Rcbbina Makes Reply. "Well the evidence shows It," said Mr. Bobbins. "The evidence does not show it and you knovf it, the Jury knows it," replied Mr. Johnson as he shook his fist at the opposing counsel. "Shame, . I sav shame on von for those iniquitous

statements. I did not expect you would stoop so low as to make statements like that." "Attorney - Jessup's exposure of the true statement of the bookkeeper has driven them into a corner and they resorted to personalities tp prove their contention! They know that pverdrafts have no effect on this case for. the entire case is based on Miss Bentlage's cash books, which she haC' exclusive control of. . - 4it has been proven that the inventory as reported was' right.. If they had only 830.000 of stock as the defense would attempt to make you believe, how -could they - have -made sales amounting to $1,330,000 in ten years. This could not have been possible on such a small amount of inventory as the defense would make you believe. Verdict Becomes Precedent "Jurymen, your verdict of today. is to be the precedent of tomorrow. Are you going to say that any employe of a corporation can steal money, and if he or she kills herself or leaves the country, it absolves his or her estate from all responsibility. If you return a verdict for the defendant it will be in harmony with mob rule. "Thank TJod this case Is not to be tried on anything except the evidence. It is not to be tried on the outcry of the friends of one side.' Will you dare condemn a man who has 'been systematically robbed. Do not the living have a right for consideration more than a person who has committed suicide because she was unable to face the accusing world.

He signed checks without question. Every ltDO YOU SUFFER FROM BACKACHE?
