STATE WITNESSES TALK St. Joseph, Mo., Dec. 2.—Presenta- | tion of testimony in the trial of Pros- ecutor Oscar D. McDaniel, who is charged with having murdered his wife, neared its end in the criminal court yesterday when the state, in its rebuttal, placed twenty-one wit- 'both sides said tonight that one more day would tomplete the introduction of evidence, The statc devoted most of its, ef- forts today to an attempt to show that McDaniel did not receive a tele- phone call about 11:15 o’clock the night of the murder, as he related on the-witness stand, which drew him from his home. B. L.

Brown and Miss Boyer both said their testimony was the result of in- vestigations, while’ the others declare they were at work the night of the murder and one of them should have received such a call. It \was explained by each of the witnesses that many calls after, 11 o'clock at night are diverted to the information operators so that wrnug calls will not awaken patrons. The defense, in an apparent effort break down the declarations of the witnesses, brought out that no writ- ten records of the calls were made and that the ‘statements “were based on memory.” Miss Milier said that all calls di- yerted from the regular routine had gone to her that night and she was asked by Attornc Barker, “did {a the McDaniel General John T.| ndle any calls to home between 11 and Mrs. McDaniel Didn't ‘was murdered?” * Handle Any. “1 did not,” she answered. The testimony -of Mr. McDaniel was that He returned home about 11 p. m, after having gone to a lodge meeting and investigated two alleged road houses. He awakened his wife, he_ said, byt about 11:15 o'clock re- ceived a telephone call asking him to go to a certain saloon to get his brother.. He left immediately, dis- covered that the call was a fake, ac- cording to the testimony,' and re- turned near midnight to engage in a vevolver duel and to findthat his wife had been attacked and beaten. Miss Boyer testified, under cross examination, that-a call had come to the telephone | office about 10:30 o'clock that mg\n asking the names and numbers of saloons in a certain district. The saloon from which Mc- Daniel said the fake call purpprted to have come was in that district, at- torneys pointed out.

Scott of the Unijversity of Michigan, who spoke at the annual convention here of the Na- tional Council of Teachers of English today. He insisted that “dawg” is just as good a pro- nunciation as {'dog.” Uniformity is not important, he declared, but speech should be sincere and show culture, Death of Jesus . 4 From Broken Heart, Not His Wounds “Jesus died not from the \\uumls‘ of the Cross, but of a broken heart,” said Dr. Henry C.

The band that camped along the Missouri river, nort carriedd regular B-B and pop guns, They were after high soaring fowls. The third band, comprised mostly of little hunters, carried only sticks. Their aim was to capture anything that came their way. Run Down Three Rabbits. The Papio band was the most suc- cessful. As a result of their long tramp, and because of the expert hunter, James Atkisson, the members succeeded in running down and ras- turing three rabbits. They built huge fires and got the earth real hot. Then they buried the rabbits, skin and all, in the hot earth. When a due amount of /time had passed they uncovered their prizes and dinner. Then tjey feasted, after which several hunting stories were told. The members of the Missouri band was not successful in getting what they went after, but had luck other- wise. As they lay watching far birds a couple of stray chickens wandered their way. They hated to do it, but real hunger induced them to kill the chickens, The real disappointed ones were the hunters of the third band. Being young, they could not discriminate game by their sense of smell, As they marched along they came upon . a hairy looking anima{——snme(hing like a squirrel. They became happy and rejoiced when they thought of the time of their announcing their suc- ccss They all touched it and petted t, but it didn't move, so they hit it and called it dead. Odor Precedes Them. They ran home to tell one of the mammas of their capture. But mam- ma knew they were home when a block away. Their hunting suits had to-be buried and the boys given baths. Now they assert that next time they go a-hunting they will at least know a-skunk@if they see or smell one. Even though they were not all suc- cessful they all say that they had the time of their lives. They join in say- ing, “Gee, we wish we didn’t have to go to school at all. Wouldn't it be just fine to live out in the woods and hunt all the time. It's so much fun to hun! rabbits and nlher things.” of Florence, | Hj speaking before a large gathering of\ ministers and friends at the l:rs” Cohgregational church last evening. He took as his subject the “Cross of Christ.” “He gave up? His own life,” he contmued “it was not taken from‘ im.” v Comparing the resurrectron nf‘ Lazarus and Christ, he said: “Christ's death was unique, His resurrection was more than the resurrection of Lazarus. For Lazarus died again, | while Christ's was the resurrection of One who lived thence forward for- ever.” “The resurrection of Christ,” he said, “is a conspicuous part of the atonement for if Jesus had not risen He would never have had a follower.” | The speaker bitferly attacked what | he termed world philosophy. “Peo- ple should forget lhe world philo- sophy,” he said, or, “they will forget | all about God.” He urged parents to teach their® children of the life of | Christ and for what He stands. His entire talk was forcefully brought out | by frequent analogies to the Bible. Federal Inquiry Into H. C. L.
