Since the closing OF the Barry hearing
at about one o'clock Thursday after
noon and Justice Farrell directing that
Barry be held for trial without bail
under the charge OF murder in the first
degree, there has been little If any thing
new in the way OF developments relative
to the case. 1t is apparent to all who
witnessed the closing OF the preliminary
hearing that Barry is no longer indiffeE-
emit. He was visibly affected when the
court remanded him to Jail and on
returning to his cell broke down COM
pletely. Judge Templeton and Attorney
Bangs had all details arranged Tor a
heavy bond by which Barry's release
until time OF trial was to be secured,
but very properly his crime was not
viewed as bailable offense. His
attorneys state that they will not be
ready Tor trial at the February term OF
court and the case will be carried over
the term thirty days or possibly longer.
Reports that have been circulated with
in the last few days that Barry is losing
his mind are without foundation. He
has arranged for hard fought defense
with the same cool method and delibePa-
ton that was exhibited at the time and
subsequent to the killing Of Mellum.
Barry is man OF considerable means
and is stated to have expended $500
in securing the best possible talent
ON his side of the case. States Attorney
Dickson, Who has az his associate on the
case Attorney Jno. M. Cochran, is spsF-
ing neither time nor expense in bringing
together the links OF evidence which are
, to result in such verdict being rendered
and sentence pronounced by the court
as Justice demands to punish Barry for
causing the death OF a fellow man. ~
{ will be one of the hardest fought muir
jder cases ever tried in the state. I'll,
