Indicted for Murder He Must Again Go
to jail.
Louis Karcher, indicted for the murder Of John
W. Grimes on March % last, homicide which
grew out of the intimacy of the deceased with
Karchcr's wife, was nrraigned in the criminal
court yesterday and pleaded not guilty.
District Attorney Worthington stated that the
accused was out OH $1,000 bail. The grand jury
had now indicted him for murder, and that was
not a bailable offense. Judge Mackey, counsel for
Karcher, said that the case was the same now as
before, and that by ndicting tor murder the grand
jury could not fix the grade of the crime.
Judge Wylie said that the case was somewhat
different than before. If man came home and
found another man In his chamber with his wife
homicide might follow, and yet 1t might not be
an aggravating case either. When a man slew
his wiie's paramour in her chamber 1t was not an
eXcusable case on its face, although II might not
be murder. The jury had investigated the facts
in the case and found an indictment for murder.
That was not q bailable case, except under ex-
traordinary circumstances, aud the defendant
would have to go TO Jail.
At the request of Judge Mackey, District At
torney Worthington promised him trial at an
early day. Karcher was turned over TO the Gus.
tOdy OF the marshal and taken to jail.
