COLLINS HELD WITHOUT BAIL
slayer Of Charles II. Grove Must
Answer for Deed Before
Higher Tribunal.

The preliminary examination Of Tom Col
lins, who shot Charles r. Grove behind the
latter's bar last Sunday night, occurred yes
terday before Judge Gordon, at a night ses-
sion of police court. George Elliott, the
bartender. described the scene in Groves
saloon substantially as it was brought out at
the coroners inquest. The deliberation and
evident premeditation of the crime were
brought out. The other witnesses were the
stockmen who were in the saloon at the
time of the shooting and they repeated the
testimony already published. The line of
questioning taken by Attorney Kelkenny,
acting for Collins, did not reveal the de-
fense which the accused will make. The
attorney says that it is improbable that the
plea of insanity will be entered. Collins is
apparently in the possession of his faculties,
the attorney adds, and such a claim would
only weaken his case. He intimates that
he may present a more effective defense
when the proper time comes.
Collins was held without bail
