grand jury OF the Circuit Court yes
terday morning for murder in the first
degree by killing his wife on Saturday
night, October s.
In presenting the indictment before
Judge Gear the foreman, j. ID. Tucker,
said it was the unanimous request of
the grand Jurors that the case should
be brought to trial as soon as possible.
Judge Gear ordered the case entered
and asked if the prosecution was ready
for arraignment. w. S. Fleming, Dep
uty Attorney General, promised to have
the defendant in court within n few
minutes.
j. j. Dunno, as leading counsel for
Naone, asked to have exceptions noted
to the proceedings, speaking of the
undue haste" with which the matter
had been presented to the grand jury.
In answer to the court, Mr.. Dunno
stated that he represented the defend
ant and that w. A. Kinney was asso-
ciated with him.
Naone was led into court by police
men and stood up to be arraigned. His
manner was uneasy and he had an UNI
kempt appearance.
Mr.. Dunno asked that defendant be
allowed to reserve his plea for ten
days. Mr. Fleming thought seven days
should be the limit, but after a little
talk consented to the request for ten.
although" the Territory's attorney
added, when the time for plea does
come there will be more delays with
motions to quash and so FORTH l don't
believe we will have this defendants
plea for a month yet"
A. G. NJ. Robertson and A. S. Hum
phreys are retained as associate coun-
sci for Naone, making four lawyers in
his defense.
