The fire at the first ward .school
yesterday has made it necessary for
the board of education to provide
means for carint: for the pupils that
have been attending- the ebool and
who are being taken care of for the
present at the Central building. One
of the rooms at the Central school
that has been used as a lunch room
has been arranged for the first ward
children and who took up their
studies there today.
The smoke damage to the first
ward school as well as the necessity
or renair work on the floor of the
building will require repainting the
interior of the structure as well as
some carpenter work and it is ex
pected that it will take a week to
get the place back in shape to re
sume the school work.
The insurance adjusters are here
today checking up the damage and
preparing for the settlement with
the school district for the 'damage.

Chadron. Jan. 21. The fate of
Robert E. Carrett. charged with the
murder of William Kinsley, farmer,
near Alliance in 1927. was placed
in the hands of a jury here Tuesday
afternoon.
District Judge E. .L. Meyer, in his
instructions to the 12 who will pass
judgment on Garrett, offered the al
ternatives of bringing in three pos
sible verdicts, guilty of murder in
the first degree, guilty of murder in
the second degree, or acquittal.
The instructions of the court in
cluded a warning to judge the testi
mony of officers and of others, who
told of threats made by Garrett prior
to the slaying of Kinsley, with ex
treme care. A majority of the wit
nesses, he warned, were testifying
to Garrett's alleged threats from
.memory, whereas the testimony of
officers in the case was backed by of
ficial records
Eomig Takes Stand.
Penrose E. Romig. Box Butte
county attorney, who remained in
the background during most of the
trial, appeared before the Jury Tues
state. He termed the murder of Kins
ley "a most willful and cowardly
deed."
Koir.ig, in his final plea lo venire
men, spent considerable time in at
tempting to prove to the jury, thru
the use of exhibits previously intro
duced by the state, that Garrett's car
was the one alleged to have been
driven away from the Kinsley farm
soon after the latter had been shot
through a window in his home.
Cites Description.
"Tiie description given on the
stand by officers concerning the
nature of the tracks found in
Kinsley's cornfield, tallying with
the state's exhibit of the tires
on the wheels of the defendant's j
car at tiie time ot tne crime, is
sufficient to prove Garrett's
guilt." Komig declared
"Something was on his mind,"
Itomig asserted .
lie referred to the fact that Garrett
testified that he had eaten time times
between dinner time and 9 p. m..
the evening on which the murder
was committed.
The Box Butte county attorney
related that at a preliminary inves
tigation of the crime during which
Garrett was quizzed, the latter ex
pressed doubt that Kinsley had been
actually murdered.
"The defendant was afraid
that the shot he fired through a
window in the Kinsley heme was
not effective and asked to be tak
en to the morgue to view the
body," Romig said.
Defends Daughter.
Romig charged in his final argu-
oughly educated on his story" before
the jury. He sought to substantiate
this charge by pointing out that Gar
rett nnswered all questions ramdl-
wr.cn put to Sum by his attorneys.
Romig sought to defend Garrett's
daughter. Helen Ledict. for turning
against him to testily for the state
in the trial.
The defense attorney berated Gar
rett's daughter, Mrs Helen l.e- Dick,
for testifying against her father, lie
desired that -Mrs. Le Dick's testimony
gave proof that the state's case was
weak.
He asked that the jury consider
lightly the testimony of William
Hague", former hired man at the
Kinsley farm who claimed hp v:is!
taken for a "ride" after testifyir.;
