HAMMOND MURDER TRIAL. 5
Ira Hammond on Trial at Mt. Ayr Murder of
Miss Maud Stone.

The trial of Ira Hammond on the
charge of murder in the second degree
as an accomplice of DIR. j. w. Crotord j,
in the murder of Maud Stone was COM
menced at Mt. Ayr before Judge Towner
Monday morning, change of venue
having been granted at the last term of
court by Judge Towner on showing by
the attorneys for the defendant that
he could not secure fair trial in this
county, and the case was sent to Ring
gold county for trial.
Our readers are familiar with the
details of this case. Maud Stone, a
beautiful young lady 81 years old, who
resided with her mother few miles
northeast of Decatur City. left home on
the morning of Jan. %, 1901, ostensibly
to visit friends near Mt. Ayr. Nothing
further was heard of her until d week
later when her mother received a note
from DR.. Croford saying Maud was at
his sanitarium, having been taken sick
on the train, and for her to come at
once. When Mrs. Stone reached La.
moni Maud was dead, and Ira Ham.
mond and his mother, Mrs. Anna Han-
mond, were both there. Suspicious of
foul play were aroused and at the coro.
ner's inquest it developed Maud Stone
had died from the effects of criminal
operation for abortion. DIR. j. w. Croft
ford and Ira Hammond who was en-
gagged to Miss Stone were arrested
charged with murder in the second
degree and when the grand jury con.
vened an indictment was also found
against Mrs. Annie Hammond. The
trial of DIR. Croford was held ut Leon at
the November term Of court, the jury
after being out few hours returning
a verdict of guilty and he was sentenced
by Judge Towner to 10 years in the
penitenliary at Ft. Madison, where be
is now confined. Since his Indictment
Ira Hammond has been at liberty on a
bond of $4,000 and his mother on a
bond of $4,000.

The defendant is represe nted by G. W.
Hoffman, Marion F. Stookey, V. r. Nc
Ginnis and Spence & Smith, OF Mt. AYR.
After the case was called the defense
moved to dismiss the Indictment for the
reason that part of the exhibits used
as evidence in the case had been per.
mitted to remain in the custody of the
attorneys for the state, special stress
being laid on the bottle of medicine
which was found in the private box of
Maud Stone at her home after her death.
and also certain letters written by de-
tendant Hammond to Maud Stone. At
ter an extended argument Judge Towner
overruled the motion and the case pro,
