G. Porter ot Pittsiburg Porter and Ex-Judge Miller, who was attorney for the defendant, are confident the decision of the jury and judge ot the former trial will be reserved. Attorney Porter bas gone over the testimony carefully and says he to find the slightest evidence implicating Helen in tue actual kidnapping, or even in aiding Boyle. It is pointed out that the mother ot James Boyle placed on the stand by the state and testified that Helen asked her to discount a small note, saying she needed the money but expected a remittance from her father in Attorney Miller objected at the time to evidence being admitted ia the light that tbe expected remittance mentioned was proof tnat the kidnapping was planned, and the money expected was the ransom. Judge Williams overruled the abjection.

Porter and Miller believe the Supreme Court will bold that WiHiams erred and frre Helen. ROOSEVELT AND KERMIT ARE SLAUGHTERING GAME Some Fine Specimens Were Bagged Recently. -N 5TAIBOBI, B. E.

This position is more than foot back of the end of the scnminagt. hne, and not a full yaid back Xo man occupying this position is eligible to le ceive a forward pass, tine object of tin? rule being make a man stand eithei up to the scinntnage line full yaid back, where the otticial can readilj sec that he is not on the line.
