Held for the Murder of Chrisman.

|
The coroner's jury, investigating the
murder of Daniel II. Chrismap, the Sill
yer City watchman, after two days
session, brought in verdict that the de-
ceased came to his death from a gun
shot wound Inflicted at the hand of Al
bert Myers. A large number of wit
nesses We're called, and an earnest and
competent jnry did everything in their
power to make the investigation thor
ough one. Suspicion was cast upon My
ers on account of his known hatred OF
the deceased and the jury, acting upon
this, had Myers called before them as a
witness. Myers claimed not to have
heard the pistol shots and his state
ments regarding his Whereabouts be-
tween the hours of one and three o. clock
were fon I'd to be untrue. This, and
other circumstances, the jury decided
were strong enough to make them de-
eide upon verdict which would have
him held for the murder. He was ar
rested on warrant issued by the coro-
ner, and a complaint was sworn out
against him byWm. NJ. Chrsman,a son OF
the deceased. Myers was arrested and
brought before Probate Judge Lewis for
examination on Tuesday, and the same
facts and circumstances ELECTED in the
examining court which the co~oner's
jury had brought out. Judge Lewis de-
cided that the prisoner should be held
without bail to await the action of the
grand jury, which will BE- called at the
next session of The district court to he
he'd in October. 1t is, in the interest
of fairness to the accused and in the in
terest of jnstice, that the local papers
should publish nothing W hich will prejn-
dice the case for or against the accused,
hence the public may not expect to see
any mention of this case in the columns
of the NUGGET further than to give such
facts or circumstances as may throw
Fnr:her light on this most important af-
fair
