A motion fora new trial was at once filed. Espenschied’s defense, set forth in “character” testimony Monday after- noon, was that while he is at most times orderly, the effect of drink is to testified that? he drank ‘‘about half a dozen highballs’” on the evening of Oct. j, and that he remembered nothing of his meeting with Mrs. Flower. Probate Judge Wurdeman of St. Louis County said that Espenschied ‘made a good record as a Deputy County As- sessor, and was regarded as a good citi- zen. “But once in a long while he would get on a ‘toot,’” the Judge said, “and then he would seem absolutely crazed.”’ “This going on ‘toots’ is a favorite practice with county officials visiting the city, isn’t it?” Assistant C.rcuit Attorney Newton asked. “I only know about it by said Judge Wurdeman.

She said his grasp and his evident condition terrified her, and that she ac- companied him, without screaming, un- til the mouth of an alley was reached. Here she broke away, tearing her cloth-

Marshal Secrest and City Aitorney Chandler of Kirkwood called at Justice O’Hallaron’s office Tuesday morning and asked him to sign the summons. The Justice was trying a case, and said ‘hat the matter would have to wait until the case was finished. This might take 20 minutes, he said. The Kirkwood officials were un- willing to wait, and leaving Justice O’Hallaron’s court, they went to that of another downtown justice. He is said to have been apprised of their approach and their purpose, and hast- ily putting on his hat, departed before tney arrived. Cars were operated Thursday in each direction as far as the condemned bridge over the Missouri Pacific tracks. in Kirkwood. The company, Sunday and Monday, ran cars from Meramec Highlands only as far as a saloon at the Kirkwood city Iimits, and those who got off the west bound cars at the bridge had to walk or take conveyances nearly a mile to continue thelr journey.
