BODY SNATCHERS Professors and Students Are Charged Lincoln Neb., December 5 -The case of the state against the Cotner Univfsity students, Professore and janitors for body snatching is be ing vigorously contested. The de fendants, visiting students and their lady friends iu Court this morning all wore the colors of the university, red and orange. Pre vious to the opening of the Court an excursion was mabe to the receiv ing vault in Wyuka Cemetery. This was a move on the defense for the purpose of rebutting evi dence relating to the identifica tion of the ramarns. The case for the defense hangs upon this point. Defendant J. A . Burford was the first witness. He testified that he and Meban were student-janitors cf the university. He denied hav ing said at the time the body was carried downstairs that it was hea vier *han when it was carried up. This contradicts the testimony of Trnsty Byers. The prosecution de manded a sample of Burford’s handwriting, on the theory that he wrote the letter purporting to come from a Chicago man, offering to furnish the college the body claim ed to have been stolen. It was grantsd, and was not similar. Rev. J. W. Austin, whe lives near Resaca killed a fine gobbler last week. Mr. Austin is on« of those who knows how to bridge over jhard times. —Calhoun Times.
