Knapp Defense Fails
Continued From and Elvord were there for the purpose of seeing Knapp. Knapp was busy at another part of the jail and when she went In the jail she had a talk with Elvord. . She said that Elvord told her, with an oath, that he would help Knapp out of trouble. She said that Elvord told her: "the fellows that t.ell on me I intend to tell on them and those that don't tell on me I won't tell oh them." "He also said," continued Mrs. Cordell, " 'that there will be a whole lot of people called before the grand jury that don't expect to be called. And there is one man I don't intend to help and that is Knapp.' This he said with an oath." Drinks With Knapp. Oliver Favorite testified that he saw Knapp at 6:30 o'clock on the evening of the shooting and at that time Knapp had a half pint of whiskey. He gave Favorite a drink at that time and the witness admitted that he bad drunk the bottle half empty. "Do - you Know where he got the whiskey," asked Mr. Johnson. "No, I don't," answered the witness. "What did it taste like," he was asked. , "It tasted to me just like rot gut, did you ever taste that?" Favorite asked. "If a fellow drinks enough of it it will make him crazy. I think it had tobacco juice ; in ' it for it about burned me up." Q. What was Knapp s condition! about 8 or 9 o'clock when you . saw him? :' ; i - . ' A. He . was sitting on the bench talking with some' fellows but didn't seem to be dead drunk. . Q. -Just state to the jury whether or not he was drunk at all? A. He wasn't sober. Q. How do you know that? A He looked It. - Q. Did he drink any while he was sitting on the bench? A. Yes he had one bottle of beer. Q. What was that tonica you speak about? A. It tasted to me just like beer. Q. How would it affect anybody? A if a fellow took about- two tonicas and one glass of whiskey it would set a fellow about as crazy as a bed bug. ' ' Q. What did you notice about Knapp while he was in the bar room? A. He was sitting on the bench and that was unusual for he usually is up and a going. Stevens Takes Stand The first testimony that Knapp had been drinking whisky prior to the shooting was given by Ed Stevens of Modoc, who took the stand this morning. Stevens admitted that he had drunk wh'iskey with Knapp in the rear room, but said that he did not drink much of it because he didn't "like the brand." "Did you see Arch drinking beer?" asked Mr. Reller. "Yes, he was drinking beer, or tonica, they called it," replied Williams. relieves sick headache, dullness, feverishness, sore throat, sneezing, soreness and stiffness. Don t stay stuf fed-up !

Q. Did you taste some of the tonica? i A Yes. Q. What did It taste like? A It tasted just like beer to me. It answered the same purpose. Q. How often did you see Knapp drunk? A. I saw him drink one bottle of beer. He also bad a half pint whiskey. Q. Where did he drink it? A. In back room. ; Q.-r-Did you taste It? A. Yes, I only took one swallow 'cause I didn't like the brand. Q. Did Knapp offer it to you? A.- No. I asked him to let me taste it. r Q. Where did he get it? A. -Out of his pocket. Q. What did you hear him say? - A. He was talking with Williams a little while later in the front room. They were talking about coon hunting. Q. What did Williams say? A. He invited him out to the farm. Q. What else did he say? A. I don t remember. He said something about bringing something on nis nip. . wnat did Arch say after he snot? A. He said, "I'll go out and see if I did kill that nigger." Q. Did anybody else say anything? A. Dick Elvord told Knapp to put nis gun up. Stories Show Difference. Stevens' testimony did not gibe with that of some of the other witnesses. for he said that he didn't look as if he was drunk. In cross examination Stevens said that the whisky Knapp had "didn't taste like whisky, for it was hot and tasted to me like poison." He reiterated the statement made in direct examination that Knapp said, "I'll go out and see if I did kill that nigger." Coroner Takes Stand. Coroner Morrow tbok the stand this morning and denied the testimony brought out in the cross examination of Drss Deardorff and Kerr relative to the location of the bullet in the body of Williams. He said that the bullet had not deviated from its direct course through Williams' body, more than one inch. Dr. Morrow made the autopsy and pronounced death due directly to the bullet wound. The defense in cross examination attempted to shake Dr. Morrow In his testimony regarding the course of the bullet in the effort to prove that Williams, at the time of the fatal shot, was in a crouched position. This evidence will be used to prove that Williams had made some move toward Knapp. Death was due to hemorrhage, according to Coroner Morrow. One of his' lungs had completely collapsed before his death. The cavity around his lungs was filled with blood, causing his sudden death on Nov. 27. Repeats Same Story. The defense was unable to shake the testimony of Stevens who denied that he was acquainted with either Knapp or Williams and could not be suspected of prejudice on either side. The 'state closed its case at 10:15 o'clock this morning with the testimony of Stevens. One more witness was to have been called, Mandram Howard, who is employed at the Teetor factory, Hagerstown. Howard was in Dick Elvord's place at the time of the shooting. He had been summoned to appear as a witness but flas not been seen around Hagetstown for several days. Fifteen witnesses have testified for the state including four physicians, nino eye-witnesses to the shooting and two marshals, who made Knapp's arrest. Prosecutor Reller said this morning after completing his testinony, that the issues have been made clear through the corroboration of evidence by the witnesses; that no attempt has been made to show "intent" on the Lee

part of Knapp, who (s charged with merely involuntary manslaughter. What theory the defense wilt adopt in making Its fight, was still a matter of doubt at the close of the state's evidence this morning. Reller contends that drunkenness is no excuse for crime and that there Is not sufficient evidence obtainable to prove that
Knapp was. so drunk that he was In sensible to his actions. MINSTREL OF ELKS SHOWS CLEVER ACT The speed limit on the Elks' minstrel show this year is the sky. No nerve-wracking waits, but a kaleidoscopic success of the cleverest acts, and classiest novelties ever brought out in any production will be the or der of the evenings." The beauties that have made Richmond famous as the home of beautiful girls are "eating up" the songs and dances, and their part of the show will be well worth twice the admission price alone. The "pep" and en thusiasm that the girls are putting into their work augurs a show that will make the usual New York productions that boast of their beauties look like a rubber nickle. The young ladles are working with Jack Keefe like a professional gathering of stars. Their singing and dancing will be a big feature of the show. The reserved seat sale opens at 9 o'clock Thursday morning at the Westcott pharmacy, and you all know that there will be the biggest rush for seats that the local lodge has ever seen. Get there early and get the best seats you can for the biggest and best show ever in the city. ERRORS CORRECTED IN EARLY HISTORY Typographical errors in the contribution by Mrs. Sarah A. Wrigley last night made the name of the questioner from Indiana university at Bloomlngton read "Whitney" when it should have been "Whinery." Another error said that the "Hoosier Nest" had been published and read for the last eight years when it should have read, the last eighty-three years. PROGRESSIVES (Continued From Page One.) back of this proposal was "Don't use unless necessary." In his communication to Secretary Warfel it was suggested by Lee that a full Progressive county ticket be nom inated and that arrangements be made with the Republican organization for the nomination of a Republican county ticket composed of both Republican and Progressive candidates. Outlines Lee's Plan. In the event no coalition of the Progressive and Republican parties was effected in Chicago in June, he suggested that the county Progressive committee should use its influence to obtain the withdrawal of all Progressives who were on the Republican county ticket so that their places could be filled with Republicans by the Republican central committee. In the event of a coalition the plan suggested by Lee provided for the withdrawal of the Progressive county ticket so that the voting strength of the two paYties could be concentrated In the support of the coalition county ticket. The Progressive central committee me'eting yesterday was the result of the refusal of Chairman Clifford Price to accept as authoritative the action of eighteen members wbo attended the committee meeting of January 8 in deciding to place a county ticket in the field, a plan Price was very much opposed to but approved unanimously at the first committee meeting following

an urgent plea for such action on the partof State Chairman Lee. - -
Many of the committee members prior to the opening' of the meeting yesterday afternoon,' indicated that they still favored a county ticket but when it was made plain to them that a county ticket was not required to maintain the party organization the opposition to the plan Increased. When the vote was taken the only committeemen who favored a ticket were: E. A. Renks, Richmond, Orange Hall, Jackson twp.. Wood Ellason, Center twp., Dorey Thompson, Harrison twp., and J. W. Jackson, Perry twp. Thirty-two of the sixty-four committee members attended the meeting yesterday but seven withdrew before the ' vote was taken on the county ticket question. Many of the committeemembers signed petitons for reelection .to the. central committee. Others will be drafted by the chairman in time to have their names certified' to the ballot before February 5. No decision as to the method of selecting the twenty delegates to the state convention was arrived at. Asks for Candidates. One of the amusing incidents of the meeting was the action of Chairman Price, following a fervent plea for a county ticket, if any one present knew of a candidate for a place on a Progressive county ticket. He received no information. Al Ford of Richmond put a motion, snortiy arter the opening of the meeting, that the committee should decide whether a county ticket was to be nominated. After much discussion this motion carried unanimously. Then C. C. Smith of Clay township, moved that no ticket be nominated. This carried, 20 to 5. Prior to the vote every one of the committeemen was polled by Chairman' Price on this question and they frankly expressed their views. Three members, AI Ford, Will Judkins of Jackson township and Louis Crome of Richmond, even opposed the maintenance of the county organization. The most insistant demands for a county ticket were uttered by Wood Ellason of Center township and Orange Hall of Jackson township. Hall said it would be a body blow to the party if the strongest Bull Moose county in the country failed to nominate a ticket, while Eliason declared the party at the present time was stronger in the county than ever before. Will Judkins, brother of Rep John W. Judkins, on the other hand declared that he had been unable to NO REASON FOR IT When Richmond Citizens Show a Way There can be no reason why any reader of this who suffers the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary' disorders, the pains and dangers of kidney ills will fail to heed the words of a neighbor who has found re lief. Read what a Richmond citizen says: Henry Brokamp, machinist. 60 Sher man St., Richmond, says: "I used to be troubled a lot by my kidneys. Sometimes my back got weak and ached. Then the kidney secretions became too frequent in passage. Each time I have been this way I have procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills at Luken & Co.'s drug store and they have never failed to relieve me. They have done me more good than all the other medicines I have taken put together." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Brokamp had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Adv.

Ford -declared the duty of all Progressives was to get back into the Republican party, take control of it and make it the real Progressive party under the old family name. He moved that no county organization be maintained. L. M. Jones of Wayne Twp. instantly moved an amendment to the motion that , a party organization
should be maintained and the amendment carried by a large majority. As Ford started to leave the room: he was asked if he vould not be a can- i didate for committeeman on the tick-': et to be selected March 7. "I will not ', be," replied Ford.

C3TljSFnST-YCII! You know, and every physician knows, that when any sickness has passed, whether it be throat trouble, organic disturbances, contagious dis-. eases, or even a severe cold, a relapse is feared, because 'sickness robs the system of Nature's1 resistance and leaves it subject to lingering germs. Drugs never build up a worn-out body only food can do that, and the first thing to take after any sickness is the concentrated, blood-makkig oilfood in Scott's Emulsion, which feeds the tissues, benefits the blood and strengthens both lungs and throat. Physicians prescribe Scott's Emulsion after sickness. Nurses everywhere advocate it. Scott's is pure medicinal food.without alcohol or drugs. ftcott Ik Knwne. Blootnfictd. X. J U-2J
