ADAMS, ALMSBERGER, BELL, CARPENTER, CRAIG, CUMMIN, DOWNEY, GRIFFIN, HARTMAN, KELLEY, SMITH, STUDER, WALLACE, WEIXELDORFER, WUERTH "The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Wednesday, October 2, 1907 THEY'D BETTER LEARN GERMAN The jurors in the WEIXELDORFER murder trial were excused last night by Judge WALLACE, to permit them to see the Priests of Pallas parade. "I won't keep these men locked up in a hotel," the judge said. They can see the parade with their families and report here for duty in the morning at 9 o'clock." The twelve jurors are: John M. CARPENTER W. T. STUDER George W. GRIFFIN Samuel BELL C. H. HARTMAN James H. ADAMS Eugene E. CRAIG Joe H_______? W. A. SMITH Isadore CUMMIN Frank R. DOWNEY Thomas KELLEY Only three witnesses were examined yesterday. The fact that all testified in German makes the trial tedious. Judge WALLACE, on learning that there are seventy-five witnesses, and noting the small number examined, ventured the suggestion that it might be simpler for the court and jury to learn the German language. The case is that in which WEIXELDORFER, with Joseph WUERTH, is charged with having fatally injured John ALMSBERGER at a housewarming at 1884 Terrace street, early last summer. Stones and bricks were hurled by opposing parties. ALMSBERGER, after being injured, took refuge in a dog house in the yard. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)
