HEAR VON KANEL CASE AT COURT IN PREBLE; TRIAL IS PROGRESSING EATON, O., Feb. 17. It was a trying ordeal that Miss Amy Von Kanel, school teacher, passed through Wednesday when In common pleas court as a witness she 'narrated details of an alleged attack made upon her by Craig Gilmore, local overseas vetetan and married, on the morning of Dec. 1G. last. In the home of Mrs. Minnie Michael, where she rooms, it being alleged he forcibly entered her bedroom about 2 o'clock and assaulted her. At a trying point in her testimony Miss Von Kanel broke down and

cried. She was on the witness stand J

more than two hours in her direct and cross-examination. Both Assistant Prosecutor Phil Saylor, for the state, and Attorney Dick Shepherd, of Hamilton, defense counsel, were as considerate of the witness as the character of the testimony would permit. Miss Von Kanel testified she retired at 10:30 o'clock that night, as also did Mrs. Michael, each occupying their respective rooms upstairs. About 2:00 o'clock, she judged, she was awakened by a band upon her throat that was choking her. She said her assailant, before leaving, released her bound hands and removed the bandage from her eyes, backed to the window and made his escape down a ladder. Mrs. Michaet was called by the state to testify. She said when she first saw Miss Von Kanel after her alleged experience her face and neck bore black and dirty marks. Miss Von Kanel said she first met Craig Gilmore when she came to Eaton in September, 1919, to teach. She met him at Mrs. Michael's and afterward had been to the house frequently, but that she had never kept company with him. The jury viewed the Michael premises Wednesday morning, under guidance of Judge Risinger, as the defense raised objection to Sheriff Jones and Deputy Wehrley conducting the inspection because they are witnesses in the case. Upon the same ground Attorney Elam Fisher withdrew as assistant in the prosecution, although he was not a counsel of record. The courtroom was crowded, about as many women as men being present. A number of women brought lunch and remained all day. Several women sought admittance to the courtroom around 6 o'clock in the morning, before the janitors had finished renovating the room for the day's session of court. After the room was filled, many persons standing, the doors were locked and no more were admitted.
