Vim. H. Hixenbaugh, the B. & o.
freight conductor, charged with the
killing of Adam j. Fisher, by knocking
him off his train at Rosby's Rock, last
Sunday morning, was given hearing
before Justice Criswell, at Mounds
Vile. yesterday afternoon. The hear
ing took place in the court room, ow-
ing TO the large crowd Of spectators
who desired to be present. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Parsons appeared for the
State, and Col. w. w. Arne1t and
Hon. B. T. Meighen, for the prisoner.
The State introduced three wit
nesses, William Muldrew, John L..
Lowry and William Wade, who were
riding on the train at the time. Two
Of the witnesses were Of the opinion
that Hixenbaugh struck the deceased,
while the third saw the conductor
strike at him, but was not sure whether
he hit him or not. The defendant
Went upon lIle Sldlu III us C"H bOhdli
and swore that he did not strike the
deceased, and had no intention OF hurt
ing him. 1t seems that Fisher and a
companion had gotten on the train at
Moundsville, but were ordered TO keep
off by the conductor. When the train
arrived at Rosby's Rock he found that
they were still on the train and ordered
them off again, but they both refused
to obey. The conductor knocked the
other fellows hat off and he then
jumped off the train, but Fisher re-
fused to get off until the train would
be stopped. The conductor ordered
him eff again, but me still refused 70
move. He then made a pass at him,
as he says, to knock his hat off also.
when Fisher lost his footing and fell
under the train, with the result that
he met his death.

tice decided to hold the prisoner With
ou. tailto await the action OF the grand
