Doctors Testify St. Clair Hoped to 'Save' Wife Defense Rests After Testimony Killer Long Mentall Defective; De fendant Is Grilled. North Platte, Neb., Oct. 30. The defense in the trial of George St. Clair, 22-year-old ice house employe, charged with murder of his young wife, rested its case late today fol lowing testimony of two doctors that the defendant was mentally defec tive. Two hours of cross-examination by R. H. Beatty and V. H. Halligan, special prosecutors, failed to shake the testimony of doctors. During the cross-examination, Halligan and Defense Attorney James T. Keefe en gaged in a heated argument and Dis trict Judge I. J. Nisley threatened to fine them for contempt. "Always Thinking He Was Bad." Dr. O. R. Piatt of North Platte said he believes St. Clair has been Nebraska Pays 20 Billions in Last 75 Years Products Worth 300 Times Cost o Entire Louisiana Purchase ; Output Growing. Nebraska's Diamond jubilee, cele bration of which will begin this week, marks the 75th year since Nel braska territory was carved out of the great Louisiana purchase. When created, Nebraska territory included most of Colorado, all of North and South Dakota excepting a narrow strip along the eastern edge all of Wyoming and Montana and some of Idaho and Utah. All this vast territory was virtu any uninhahited. Agriculture was almost unknown. Fur traders, trap pers and gold hunters made up the white population. State Now Pre-Eminent. That was 75 years ago. Today the wilderness that was Nebraska terri tory in 1854 is one of the greatest agricultural and livestock producing regions in the world. The richest and most productiv portion of that immense territory is now included within the boundaries of the state of Nebraska. Growing steadily and surely, al though depending solely upon the products of the earth, Nebraska has reached a position of pre-eminence among the states of the union. Not only In material ways, but along educational, religious, political and cultural lines, Nebraska has out distanced many older states. $470,000,000 This Year.

The bodies of An-, ton Tuma, thirty, and Anton Mach, fifty, farmers, were found pinned under their overturned car near here late Thursday. The men had left Wednesday night on a jackrabbit hunt. Tuma had tried to cut his way out from under the wreckage with a pocket knife which was found in his Ixand. The men had been dead for more than twelve hours, physi cians said. A shotgun which had been thrown, from the car was found bur ied half its length in the mud. The sheriff and county attorney made an investigation and announc ed that no inquest would be held. Penalty Fixged for Taking Bribe from E. I. Doheny Former Secretary of Interior Given But One-Third of the Maximum Is 63 Years Old. Washington, Nov. 1. Albert B. Fall, former cabinet officer convicted of receiving a 100 thousand dollar bribe, today was sentenced to one year in jail and fined 100 thousand dollars after a motion for a new trial had been denied by Justice Hitz in the District of Columbia supreme court. The sentence is exactly one-third the maximum with respect both to prison term and amount of fine. Fall, found guilty last week or receiving a bribe from Edward L. Doheny, oil operator, was granted bond pending an appeal. Mr. Fall, who is 68, has for years been in poor health. The court let defense counsel un derstand that if the appeal were dropped he would suspend jail sen tence as long as Fall's physical condi tion was such as it is now. Justice Hitz said had Fall been in good physical condition he would have imposed full sentence but that in view of his health he would have suspended sentence if it were to take effect at once. Fall showed no signs of emotion. Mrs. Fall sat beside him and his two daughters were among the spec tators. Mrs. Fall leaned forward over her husband's right shoulder and talked with him and patted him on the left shoulder. Fall said he had no statement to make. He waited for 15 minutes for his new bond of five thousand dollars to be prepared for his signa ture. It was signed by the National Surety company. While he was waiting his daugh ters, Mrs. C. C. Chase and Mrs. Jou ett Elliott, stepped to his side and Mrs. Chase, sitting on the arm of his chair threw her arms around his shoulders. Hogan in his plea for a new trial merely outlined' the ground on which he based his motion and they were overruled without government coun sel having to make a reply. As soon as his bond had been sign ed. Fall, accompanied by his physi cian and members of his -family re turned to his hotel. Notwithstanding Justice Hitz's of fer of leniency in the event the ap peal was abandoned, Fall's counsel said they would continue their ef forts on his behalf through the high er courts. Should the District of Co lumbia court of appeals rule against them, the supreme court would be their next and final resort. In the civil cases to recover the naval reserves the highest court al ready has termed Fall a faithless public officer. This characterization was said by friends to have been one of the moving impulses behind the former secretary's determination to contest the case to a finish. World-Herald.

Repays Cost 300 Times The price paid for the Louisiana Purchase, which included a great por tion of the entire country west of the Mississippi, was approximately $17, 000,000. With interest and all costs the amount did not exceed $30,000 000. Nebraska farms in 20 years have turned out products worth 300 times the entire cost of the great Louisiana Purchase. Statistics for the earlier years of Nebraska territory agricultural de velopment are not very reliable. Up to 50 years ago the crop and live stock values were comparatively small.
