The McCaskill murder trial unfolds with dramatic testimony as the defense and state press close questions. Spectators, jurors, and family members lean in as the accused describes the scene at the kitchen door and the moment the revolver was drawn.
McCaskill describes a November visit to the Phillips home to deliver a machine, then a chase and struggle at the kitchen door. He fired as Phillips swung a poker, after which he fled toward Jesup and planned to surrender, claiming self defense and intent to prevent beating.
The subject lived on a farm until 21 and then started sewing machine work. He journeyed through Florida about 18 months, western Tennessee two months, Texas 27 months, Nebraska 15 months, and spent time in the Dakotas, Missouri, and Iowa. During trial, objections blocked questions about fighting for life or seeking an open door and whether he could have shot Chrillips after leaving the house. McCaskill testified the combat lasted five to ten seconds between the first blow and the last shot.
Miss Clara Haeberle and Lewis L Sabin were married at the bride's mother's home in Manchester Iowa with Rev J F Black officiating. The couple will reside in Fort Defiance Arizona where Sabin manages a large trading store and holds property interests. The news item also promotes Chamberlain's Liniment for rheumatism.
