rested its case in the trial against K
Durban Trimble, twenty-one, charged hj.
with partidipation in a $20,000 rob-
bery at Humbolt in 1927, late yes
terday. Testimony of Joseph Kun
hart, victim of the robbery, and his
family was heard and others who
indicated that young Trimble had
been in the vicinity on the day of the
robbery.
Johnnie Furrow, one of the chief
witnesses for the states testified that
a few days before the robbery, young
Trimble approached him and asked
if he wouldn't help "knock a farm
er living six miles from Humbolt."
Kunhart's farm is just that distance
from the town.
Kunhart, his wife and two sons
testified that they recognized the
voice of Trimble when the robbery
was being committed.
Kunhart Is Threatened.
Humbolt, Neb., Dec. IS. Joseph
Kunhart, principal state's witness in
the trial of Durban Trimble has re
ceived an anymous letter threaten
ing him with the death of his two
sons unless he dropped prosecution
against Trimble, he told the Asso
ciated press tonight.
The letter was typewritten and
badly bluried. It bore an Omaha
postmark of Dec. 15 and stated that
he (Kunhart) was accusing the
wrong party, he said. Mr. Kunhart
said the letter was the second sim
ilar threat he had received since
charges were filed against Trimble.
The other, he stated, was postmark
ed at Humbolt. The sons mentioned
in the last threat are Prank, thirty
three, and Rudy, twenty-one. Mr.
Kunhart said he would turn the
letter over to the sheriff at Falls
City.
