POISONED CANDY CASE.
Trial of Viola HOrloclker Begun I'm
Hastings (Neb.) District Court.

HASTINGS, Neb., March 19-The trial of
Viola Horlocker on the charge of sending
a package of poisoned candy to Mrs. c. f.
Morey April 10, 1899. was taken up in the
District Court to-day. The defendant sat
in the courtroom, her face concealed by a
veil, during the proceedings.
The defense asked for a continuance.
This was refused by the presiding Judge,
who said the hearing had been postponed
twice for the defense. The attorneys for
the defendant then withdrew the plea of
mot guilty." previously made. and moved
to quash the indictment on the ground that
1t did not allege crime. The attorneys
put in most of the afternoon arguing this
motion.
The motion to quash was overruled and
the plea was again entered. Miss Horlocker
was told to arise while the States attorney
read the charges against her. She stood
erect, with head and eyes dropping, and
was perfectly calm When asked If she was
guilty not guilty, she replied in a firm
voice, Not guilty." 1t is believed the de-
fendant's attorney will make use of the in
sanity plea. Court adjourned till to-mor-
row morning, when the mater of selecting
a jury will be continued.
