TRIAL AGAIN DELAYED.
The Case of Lord and Emery Post
poned Until the November
Term.

West Plainfeld, Wis, Jan. 7.-[Spe-
cial THE third trial Of William Lord
md Charles Emery, who are charged
with the murder Of Peter Houston, is not
to begin January II, as has been an
nounced. The case will come off at the
November term of. court in Marathon
county and viii be neld at Wausau.
1t is one of the most famous murder
trials ever held in Wisconsin and will
cost Wood county a fortune. The muir
der was committed June 2, 1893, about
fourteen miles northwest of here. Peter
Houston was shot through the window
of his own home that evening.
The first trial was held at Grand
Rapids, Wis, in October, 1894. David
Jacobs, William Lord and Charles En-
cry were arrested and Jacobs pleaded
guilty and went to prison. Lord and
Emery were convicted and received life
sentences. They were granted a new
trial which came off last November al
Wausau, but the jury disagreed. The
first trial cost Wood county $4,000 and
the second trial cost S6O54.S1. The next
trial will probably exceed $4,000 and
Wood county taxpayers are beginning to
feel their burden.
The case has attracted wide attention
all over the state, and it promises to be
difficult matter to draw a jury for the
next trial.
