The trial of the notorious Lutte Houck,
charged with the murder of Lohmann, a
commercial traveller, was begun in the Su.
perior Court in Delaware, o., on April
26th. Houck, it will be remembered,
spent some time in this city few weeks
ago, having been brought here from Los
Angeles by Detective Norris. Judge Nc
Elroy presided. Houck was accompanied
by his wife, and was defended by Major
Blackburn. as senior counsel. Some trouble
was experienced in obtaining a jury, and
two special venires were issued. The wife
of the murdered man, accompanied by her
son, Fred. Lohmann, were present in the
Court. Their appearance was unexpected,
and created quite a sensation among the
audience. Young Lohmap, in his features
and general appearance. is said by those
who were we'll acquainted with his mur-
dered father, to be almost fac simile of
him. When Houck first saw him there
was sudden change in his demeanor, visi.
bic to all, and he appeared i'll at ease for
some time. On the opening day of the
trial, number of suspicious characters
were noticed about town, and it was feared
some effort would be made to rescue the
| prisoner. Extra vigilance was observed,
and Houck was carefully guarded to and
from the Court. The trial had not ended
at last reports.
