Tires of Car are Evidence in Slayer Case Deputy Cites Tracks left in Kinsley Killing as Those of Defend- ant's Own Machine Chadron. Jan. 16. The fact that Robert R. Garrett, accused of the murder of William Kinsley near Al liance in 1927. carried a different type of tire on each of the four wheels of his automobile, may result In his conviction on the charge. Trivial as it may seem, in the state's attempt-to spin a web of cir cumstantial evidence about Garrett, the tire angle took on a new impor tance in the trial here Thursday af ternoon when State Deputy Sheriff E. E. Stark related to the jury how he traced a pair of footprints from beneath the window through which Kinsley was shot to a car which, judging from the impressions left in the soggy road, carried tires with four distinctly different treads. It has been brought out by testi mony in, the trial in progress here that Garrett's car at the time the murder took place was equipped with tires such as described by Stark. Traces Footprints On the witness stand Thursday af ternoon, Stark told the Jury in detail how he traced the fottprints from the Kinsley home to a place where the murderer entered the car with the nondescript tires and drove away. The car to which the footprints were traced was parked on a lonely road on the Kinsley farm, Stark stated. The murderer, to reach the car, had to walk through a muddy corn field and the steps were easily traced. Stark testified. He stated that, judg ing from the car tracks, the auto mrbile had been turned around on a grassy plot alongside the lonely road and that the slayer had re turned to the main highway by driv ing through the cornfield. Tells of Treads Stark testified that the four treads found in the cornfield were block, diamond-shaped, cone-shaped and corrugated. This description tallies with the state's exhibit of four im pressions of tires on Garrett's auto mobile taken by authorities after Garrett's arrest in Alliance. Garrett's car has disappeared and cannot be found, state witnesses tes tified Thursday. Cross examination of Stark by de fense attorneys revealed that no foot prints, as found in the cornfield and leading to the corner of the house, were found directly beneath the win dow through which the shot which killed Kinsley was fired. Cites Habit Stark expressed the opinion that the footprints found in the corn field were those of Garrett because of the latter's habit of walking with his toes pointed outward. The foot prints described by the state deputy were similar to those made by a man of Garrett's walking habits. Court officials expressed the belief that the state will complete Its ex amination of witnesses in Garrett's second trial sometime Friday. Gar rett escaped a life term following a previous conviction when the state supreme court awarded him a rever sal upon a legal technicality. Bee News.

HAGUE AWAITS A DECISION The Hague The second Hague conference on reparations having des paired of setting the southeastern European questions at this time, is delaying its adjournment only for an agreement between the French and Germans as to whether the German ETOvernment shall bind itself not to make any foreign loans before the first slice of reparation bonds are floated. This question, it was predicted Thursday night, will be decided Fri day or Saturday. The German dele gation has referred it to experts who were brought here especially from Berlin to study the problem. The questions between Autria, Bulgaria and Hungary on the one hand, and Greece, Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Jugoslavia on the other, have reach ed such a tangle that there is no longer hope of unravelling it here.
