I nm Inno cent of tho killing of that poor boy, Git bcrt Gates, nnd beliovo In tlmo ho will be found nllvo nnd well. I expect to re turn to my Oklahoma homo In tlmo to preach noxt Sunday week." Omar Webb, a druggist of Jasper, Mo., was tho first witness. "Do you know W. S. Shrewsbury?" asked Attorney Cullcn, Jester s chief counsel. "Ves, sir."

Thin question wns objected to by the state, but tho Judgo overruled tho objec lion nnd tho witness replied that n body would not float under such temperature. as decomposition could not have art In. On croBS-cxnmlnntlon Dr. Graves said that somo bodies would float In nno day. It depended on tho gases caused by decom position. When tho last question wns asked and answered by Dr. Graves, Attor ney Allison stated that tho defenso rested Its ensc. Tho stato Immediately put on testl- mony In rebuttal to prove that W.
