Elias Arnold, admitted bootlegger, with his son Arthur, 17, is on trial here for the kidnaping of four-year-old Melvin Horst, was recalled to the witness stand when court opened this morning.

At first it was thot that-the testimony of the white-haired father had been completed yesterday. This gave rise to reports that the case would go to the jury early today. Now it appears that the case will not be given into the hands of the seven men and five women until tomorrow morning, or possibly late this afternoon, tho this latter eventuality was mot deemed probable. Under cross-examination by Special Prosecutor Walter Mougey, the elder Arnold steadily denied that he had any connection with the abduction of the four-year-old boy, from the streets of Orrville on the night of December 27.

While the choice of a site for the new station is believed to have delayed the erection of a new structure, it was rumored today that'the new station will be at a location not far distant from that which was used until the old structure was razed by fire. It is said that the new station will be located just west of the old site and at about the corner of the railroad tract and the Walnut st. crossing. The platform, it is said, would be extended to Mulberry st.

If that rumor bears out it will undoubtedly mean the erection of a new freight station as the present station would with the rumored plans of the new passenger depot. A recent report that the railroad was planning the erection of a warehouse probably was meant for a new freight station at a different location.

It was pointed out that the Ohio Constitution forbids of a retroactive law, and also that the Penes law repealer contains the provision that the Taw shall have no effect on the cases now pending before the state utilities commission. This same applies to other rate cases pending, it was declared. In a order issued late yesterday, the commission cited the Ohio Bell Telephone company to appear before it and "show cause" why its bonds, urtler which it has been collecting disputed increased rates, should not be increased. The commission charged that the Ohio Bell company had collected approximately S9.000.000 of disputed rates under a bond of only $1,500.000.
