CASE IS CONTINUED
The Trial Of Charles Smith II
Postponed.
GILL MURDER RECALLED
me Defendant, Charged With Burglary.
Was Suspected OF the Murder
OF Ethel 0il-A Suit
for Divorce.

Charles Smith, the young fellow who
was strongly suspected OF the murder
Of little Ethel Gill. was to have been
tried in Judge Clancy's court yester-
day on the charge Of burglarizing the
hardware store OF Ras Rochester. but
when the case was called IL was dis
covered that the prosecuting witness.
Mr.. Rochester. was In Kentucky. and
the state was therefore not prepared to
go to trial. Mr.. Connolly made a mo-
ton that the setting of the case be va
Gated. The defendants attorney
strongly opposed IL. saying the man
had been In Jail six or seven months
and should be given a trial. The court,
however. sustained the motion and the
case was continued generally.
Smith has been In Jail ever since the
Gill murder. He was arrested at the
scene of the crime and the police
claimed at the time to have strong evil
dence to connect him with the murder.
and he was held under the charge of
burglary. because q lot OF the stolen
stuff was found In his possession. In the
hope that more proof could be OBJ
tanned against him for the murder.
Nothing further developed. however,
m long age the authorities practic-
ally confessed that they had no evil
dence against Smith at all to connect
him with the murder Of the little girl.
Boyd T. Dickinson, a butcher. was
made defendant in a suit for divorce
