Arch Knapp, defendant, took the stand in his own behalf Wednesday afternoon -ttad the state was unable to shake him in hh testimonycbncerning the events of last Halloween night. It became clearly evident throughout the testimony of the defendant that his defense will be accidental shooting resulting from his drunken condition. The reason Knapp made such a good witness for himself was that he was unable to remember anything that ( happened from the time he drank his - second bottle of whiskey until the time he reached the county jail at 2:30 o'clock next morning. He did not ' even remember who was in Dick El- , vord's place that evening and had only a faint recollection of William Williams, whom he is accused of killing. Memory Fails Knapp. Prosecutor Reller, however, will argue that Knapp's memory was not so much of a blank as he made it out to the jury for the testimony of several of the state's witnesses told of the statements of Knapp prior to the shooting and directly after the shooting in which Knapp said, "I am going to shoot you," and as soon as the act . was done he said, "I didn't shoot that nigger, did I?" Knapp contended on the stand yesterd.iy that he could not remember any of these conversations and that, liis memory had completely left him lifter he entered Klvord's place at ebont f) o'clock. Tim first I knew of a lot of those ' t-iRH's was when I heard the men talk w the stand," said the witness. "I had no ill feeling toward Williams," sairl- the defendant, 'i don't remember any of the conversation about coon hunting " "Don't yon p.vmi rpmcmt'rr about Williams dancing anrl von pa! ting for him in the back - ': :1 the prosecutor. - Recalls Jig Dancing. "Well. I just have a faint recollection that Williams was dancing back thorp but I don't know who else was in the room," answered the witness. The following explanation was made by Knapp regarding the revolver which has never been Introduced for evidence and the state has been unable to find it: "My wife's sister left her revolver, u 32-caIibre, with me to clean and to sell if I had a chance. On Halloween night I took it out and remember placing it in ray right hip pocket. I don't remember anything about it after that time. I know that the reason I put it , in ray pocket was to show it to Mandrum Howard, who wanted to buy it. 1 den't remember whether I showed it to Howard or not. I don't remember anything about it after that." Mandrum Howard had been summoned by the state to testify relative to the transaction for it is understood that Howard was in Elvord's place at the time and knew nothing about the

reported transaction. Howard has authorities. He aamntea mat ne aia mysteriously disappeared from thejnot really know what he was doing community for although the summons I when he was drunk, and that at one

were served personally by Sheriff lime wnne working at me xeetor iacSteen, Howard has not been seen j torv, he threw a chair down the stairs around Hagerstown or Greensfork at a workman because he hade some since last Saturday. He was employ- spite against the man. ed at Teetor Brothers factory, Ha gers-i His first wire divorced him about town. Prosecutor Reller believes that j twelve years ago. he testified. The Howard's testimony will be material ! Prosecutor continued with the crossin disproving the allegation made by j examination : the defendant resrardine the transact-! Q Did you ever buy two pints of

ion, which the prosecutor believes was never made. Every effort will be made to locate Howard and he will have to answer to the charge of contempt of court unless he shows up some time today and gives an account cf himself. Buys Another Pint. Knapp continued his story with the statement that before he ate supper on Halloween evening, he had drunk a pint of whiskey bought at Dick Elvord's place. ' Within an hour after that he bought another half pint of whiskey. "Where did they get t ho whiskey! they sold to you," asked the prosecutor. "Some of :t they sot out of the south rtore room and some of it out of the north room." replied Knapp. "Was there any dilfereuce !"' t the whiskey boueht there thv e.'.l 2,1)1 than that bought there Ikt time," asked the attorney "Yes. it seemed to be stronger," replied Knapp. At this point, Knapp's memory be came u blank and Prosecutor Reller i was unable to get any satisfactory tinswer out of him. Question were re-j peated and placed in different forms j but Knapp insisted that he knew nothing that happened until after hei had reached the county jail. He could j not even explain how he got to his j father's home after leaving Klvord's place and shooting the colored boy. Following is Evidence.

To stop falling hair at once and rid the scalp of every particle of dandruff. get a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug store, pour a little in your hand and rub well into the scalp. After a few applications all dandruff disappears and the hair stops coming out. Adv.
