The case of Charles Deckard charged with assault with intent to rob the Hellenburgs at their home in Polk township on the
night of the 22nd of last January, was called for trial in the circuit court Monday morning, and as the defense was willing to admit some testimony that it was alleg
ed would be given by an absent witness, the case proceeded. The State is represented by
Trosecutor Edmondson and Duncan & Batman. The interests of the defense are closely guarded by Henley & Wilson and H. A. Lee.
There was no trouble in get
ting a jury, nearly all of the regular panel being acceptable to
both sides. The testimony developed that the Hellenburgs were remarkably courageous under the trying circumstance, the mother, especially, fighting heroically for her life and property. Her testimony, which, in substance, was as follows, gives the story of the
crime :
I am called Lona Hellenburu-
and live in Polk township. At midnight on the 2 2d of last Janu
ary two men broke in the door of
our house. I jumped out of bed
and saw ? big man and a little
man standing there. The big man shot as he came in and the bullet hit my husband, John Hel-
lenburr, who was sitting on the bed. He fell back and I seized a vessel that was under the bed and broke it over the big man's
head. My son, Sherman, knocked the little man down with a five-foot plank used as a door

knives with dried blood and hair
on them, were exhibited and identified. The testimony of the other
members of the Hellenburg family was about the same as the mother.
Dr. Potts said that he examined Deckard in jail and found two
cuts on his head, and a bruise on
his body- Deckard said he jrot
the wounds in a house of ill-renute
on Maple Heights.
The defense was an alibi, and
it was claimed that Deckard was
at the house of Nanny Duncan,on Maple Heights, on the night of the robbery. It was also shown that the Hellenburgs claimed that the smallest of the robbers had
red hair. The State offered rebuttal and
