Testimony recounts a deadly night at the Miller home where a father, sister, and baby were slain. Charley Marshall faces trial for the infant's murder as witnesses describe dynamite, a damp raincoat, and a shotgun linked to the case.
Witnesses testified over and over while Judge Clayton sifted motives and reputation in the Marshall case. The state fought to introduce a seduction suit by Fannie Green Miller and a related civil action for child support, provoking clashes but not stalling the proceedings.
A vintage advice notice promotes Pepto Mangan as a blood tonic to combat fatigue and anemia during spring, claiming it builds iron rich blood, improves color and appetite, and restores vigor.

Testimony by Sheriff Lewis about Marshall spending the night at home is under scrutiny while Pearl May Miner recounts a frantic winter night scene. About 60 of 175 veniremen were questioned as Judge Clayton used all twelve challenges before the panel of potential jurors was set.
