MEYERS ON TRIAL.
slayer OF Christ bauer TO Answer
for HIS crime.

Sioux City, May 12.-The trial of Ern-
est Meyers, charged with the murder of
his brother-in-l law. Chris Bauer, sew
ieral weeks ago. was taken up in Judge
.Gaynor,s branch Of the district court
at 8 O'Clock yesterday morning.
The affray took place on Meyers farm
in Rutland township. Meyers had been
drinking at the time and is alleged to
have been treating his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Bauer, somefhat roughly Bauer.
a brother of Meyers wife, interfered in
his mothers behalf. Upon this Meyers
whipped out pocket knife and stabbed
Bauer in the neck, seyering the jugu-
lar.
The wounded man staggered from the
house. gexclaiming: Oh, mother! Ernest
has stabbed me and Pm going to die"
AS he finished speaking he fell dead.
Meyers was arrested bysa deputy sheriff.
from Sioux City and brought to Jail
here.
AS soon as he was sobered Meyers
was overwhelmed with remorse for his
rash act. He spent much time in weep
ling in his cell and WAS continually la
lmenting what he had done. He was
finally released on $4,000 bond signed
by his father. but arrived in the city
thisweek for his trial.
/ For time there was talk Of charg-
ling him only with manslaughter. On
this accusation 1T wa sunderstood the
IprisoAer would be willing to plead
lguilty. The grand jury indicted him,
however, for murder. Even then an at
.Itempt was made to effect some kind OF a
settle.-ent. But the court preferred
slleavihs the matter to the jury and the
trial accordingly commenced yesterday.
Thhe start was made with a list OF
nineteen jurors. Six We're challenged
|for cause and two peremptorily. With
only eleven in the box and the probabl-
lity that several Of those would be chal-
4 llenged 1t was decided at noon that thir-
sty or forty talesmen would have to be
4 drawn and the work was commenced al
A once.
There is still some speculation relative
to the question whether sentence, after
j being passed, will not be suspended
This will undoubtedly depend largely
however. upon the nature of the cvi.
a dence and the finding of the jury.
