Ferguson today. Sensational evidence In regard to tho alleged operntlon on Miss Agnes Downs and her relations with tho men Involved In the case was given. The defendant, Dr. T. D. Ferguson, n wealthy pioneer practitioner of tho West, is on trial under charge of man slaughter, alleged to have been com mitted In tho killing or Miss Agnes Downs, a high school teacher, who died a few weeks ago In n local hos pital. Out ot tho trial of Dr. Fer guson It Is expected that most sensa tional ovldence will develop Involving two other men of soclnl nnd business prominence who nro charged ns ac complices. Prof, hdwln A.

Just before her death Miss Downs, It Is Bald, confessed to Intimacy with Prof. Snow She had graduated from thu agricultural college tho year before and had been a student under him. In addition to this confession Miss Downs is said to have charged Dr. Austin, the young dentist, outright, with having been tho causo of her trouble, and Dr. Ferguson with having performed tho operntlon. Slnco Dr. Ferguson's arrest ho has been nt liberty under $1500 bomlB. The case Is attracting tho widest at tention nnd tho court room Is dally thronged with curious spectators. On account of thu high social status uf all tho parties concerned tho keenest Interest Is evidenced In even tho most conservative circles und the outcome of the case Is awaited with much nn- xlety.
