NINA RAYMOND AGAIN
Re-Arrested for Murder Under
Jurisdiction of New Court.
CRIMINAL CASES FILED
Suit of Van Werden VS.. Nc
Vicar Now on Trial.

Nina Raymond will be tried for the muir
der of Edward Jones, the case now being
brought under the jurisdiction of the new
city court. The complaint was made yes
terday by Henry Schad, marshal of the
city court, and a warrant was issued for
her arrest. She was taken from the city
Jail, where she was serving a sentence, and
returned TO the county jail last night.
Nina protested against the change, saying
she would much prefer remaining at the
city jail until her case was disposed of.
The complaint as sworn to by Marshal
Schad states that on March a Nina Ray
mond did then and there unlawfully, felo-
niousy, Willfully, purposely and with de-
Hberate and premeditated malice with in
tent to kill and murder one Edward Jones
with a bed slat which she in both hands
held and hit the said Jones on the left
side Of head, back of head and on the
eyes, causing wounds from which ne Ian
guished until March 10 and died.
Therefore, Nina Raymond did kill and
murder Edward jones'" contrary to the
law and dignity of the state of Kansas.
The preliminary hearing of the case is
set for o'clock p. m, of March 20,
before Judge Kirk of the city court
One or the other Of the ,Stanleys, who
are attorneys for Nina Raymond, have
been in almost constant consultation with
her, and they say they will clear her of
he charge of murder. The Stanleys are
tenacious and energetic. They never for
sake a client and it is expected that they
G,y,E h.
hard as they fought for Fitz Simmons.
They would be fighting for Fitz Simmons
yet had he not so cruelty forsaken them.
An attempt to destroy the effect of the
evidence of Mrs. Roberts and her son will
doubtless be made by the defense's at
torneys, and they promise a very lively
trial in the courts, even should they fail
in clearing her at the preliminary.
The first criminal case to be called for
preliminary hearing in the city court is
that of Frank Adams, the footpad, who
held up ]. H. Burns on North Topeka
avenue, on the night of March 49, and
relieved him of watch and money, after
having assaulted him with a revolver.
The preliminary trial will take place this
afternoon at 2 O'clock. Adams has been
confined in Jail since his arrest by Sutton
and Massey, the next day after the crime
was committed.
The new city court is now down to bust
ness in earnest, and the basement of the
court house is livelier than it has ever
been before. The walls have already been
cracked by the glancing darts of frey at
torneys and the eloquence of Demosthenes
and Cicero resound through the Corridors
while the disciples of Blackstone belabor
the jury with weighty questions of law
Judge Kirk occupies an elevated seat at
the left of the door leading from the
clerks office and his digniffed bearing was
manifest at the first trial, which came
before him yesterday. 1t was the case of
Van Werden against McVicar. The case
will be concluded today. It is tried before
the following men who occupy the dis
tinction of being the first jury to sit in the
new court: z. w. White A. H Mckee,
o. Mulvey, J. S. Sheppard NJ. NJ. Stuckey
and r. D. Holley
The court rested last night in order to
give the parties to the suit time to hunt
up some books and papers, but the case
will be taken IN again this morning and
argued at length by the attorneys.
