It is the intention Of State attorney
!, Deneen to bring the men TO trial as

part in the murders committed al that
time Marx was alone when he killed
officer Quinn and was in Jail when
the murders were committed il In
diana Either one OF these two there
fore, will probably have separate
trial unless a general plea Of guilty IS
made by all four men
