Second Degree Murder still.

Prosecutor Weems and ex Prosecutor
HollingswOrth were down from st. Clairs-
Willie looking over the grounds where the
Murphy tragedy of September last took
place. 1t will be remembered that Will
son was indicted for murder in the sec
ond degree, and upon being tried was
convicted of manslaughter. When he
was granted new trial the question
arose as to whether he could be tried for
any offense higher than manslaughter, as
is provided by statute in the neighboring
State of West Virginia. Prosecuting At
torney Weems has looked the matter up
and has found precedent in Supreme
Court decision which claims that when
new trial is granted the party shall be
tried upon the original indictment. Ac-
cording to this, Wilson will be again
tried upon the indictment of murder in
the second degree-M. F. Times.
