Jan Spevak, Charged with wife
Wife Murder. Sues Out the Writ.
Jan Spevak, by his attorneys, Hudson &
Thomas, j. V. Lea and II. NJ. Hall, yester-
day afternoon at o'clock appeared before
Judge W. II. Wilson in the Fifty fifth dis
trict court and sued out a writ of habeas
corpus, The hearing was set by Judge
Wilson for 6 o'clock today.
Spevak was arrested at Katy, in Fort
Bend county, on November charged with
having murdered his wife by poisoning on
October 30, near that place.
No hearing was had In Fort Bend coun-
ty, and for obvious reasons his attorneys
seek 10 release him In Harris county rather
than In Fort Bend, 1t being possible to
bring the case here because OF the fact that
spevak lives within Acc yards Of the Harris
county line, the law in that Ease giving the
court in either county jurisdiction In the
premises.
