Attorneys Present Their Claims
Before Judge Morse Today
DEMURRER is oyERRULED.
This Means That Defendant VIII
Have 10 stand Trial ON Ipforma-
ton As n IL.

Judge Morse this morning heard the
arguments on the demurrer to the In
formation charging Or. h. l.. Payne
with murder IN the second degree, for
the killing OF Miss Anna d. Hill on
Dec, 20, 1902, and at the conclusion Of
the same he ordered the demurrer over
ruled, So DIR. Payne win have to go to
trial Oh the information as II now
stands Atty Wahless, representing the
defense. demurred to the Information on
statutory grounds, and contended in his
argument that It should be more spe-
olfc, in that, two separate charges
should not be contained in one count
as IN the information, but each should
be set out In separate counts so that
the defense could know which to rely
upon.
Mr. Wanless argued that the informa-
ton, as It stands, alleges that defendant
administered the poison 10 Miss Hill for
the purpose OF rendering her uncon-
sclous, but does not directly charge
that the poison was the cause
Of death. Then In the same count II is
alleged that defendant performed
criminal operation upon the young lady
ad that both acts caused sickness
which resulted IN her death. The at
torney argued that II was not alleged
that the poison was the cause Of death
or that the operation was the cause,
but that both together caused DEATH
hence the defendant should not be COM
PEELED to so to trial upon any such
general charge, but the allegations
should be made certain and separate,
and the state compelled to elect upon
which charge II intends to rely so that
defendant viii not be compelled TO
meet both charges in such a general
manner.
istrict-Attorney Eichnor argued
that the combination Of the causes Of
death as set out in the information were
properly Joined in one count, and that
II is unnecessary 10 separate them. He
read from a number of authorities
which were in accord with his conten-
ton. Judge Morse then ordered the
demurrer overruled aud the defendant
again entered his plea Of not guilty to
the charge which was entered of rec
ord, During the session of court Mrs.
Payne and her little daughter entered
the courtroom and, after affectlonate-
ly greeting the defendant, they occupied
seats beside him during the remainder
Of the session.
