The Kmbden Shooting Case-The Walk
ers to be Sued for Trespass.
SKowHEGAN, Oct. 30.-Another trial of j
Frank Walker, the alleged murderer, will
probably take place at the December term of
court. A trespass suit has also been brought
by Isaac Daggett, father of the young man
shot, against J. Frank Walker and Leonard
81. Walker, his father. An attachment has
been levied on the property of both father and
son. The damages stated are $4,000. Walton
and Parlin. who are counsel for Frank, have
been engaged by Leonard Walker to defend
the case. Mr.. Merrill, who assisted the county
attorney in the last trial of Walker, has been
engaged as counsel by Daggett.
Mr.. Walker, senior, thinks it rather crush
ing that salt should be brought against him
as he was in no wise concerned in causing the
death OF Dagget. 1t is probable that the trial
for trespass will be favorable to him, although
it must cost quite sum of money for counsel
and other expenses attending such trial. His
son Frank had no farming property in his pos-
session, and never had, and the cost in defend
ing the case will fall wholly upon the senior
Walker
