MRS. AGcIE MYERS WILL HAVE
TO ANSWER FOR DEATH
OF HUSBAND.
Frank Hoffman, WalIa WaIIa Ranch
Hand, Will Be the Principal Wit.
ness Against Her.

Mrs. Aggie Myers, who is charged
with completely in the murder of her
husband, Charles Myers. a pressman,
at their home In Kansas City, last
May, is now on trial at Liberty City.
Missouri.
Frank Hoffman, who was arrested
while at work on the John Hoffman
farm in Walla Walla county, as being
implicated in the murder, and taken
back to Kansas, will be one of the
principal witnesses for the state.
1t is reported in dispatches that the
defense will attempt to prove that
Mrs. Myers did not kill her husband,
and will show that there was no mo-
tive for the part that she took in the
murder. On the other hand, the state
will endeavor to show that Hoffman
and Mrs. Myers were infatuated with
each other, and that they killed Myers
so that they could marry.
Hoffman, after he was arrested in
Walla Walla, denied any knowledge of
the crime, but the evidence produced
at the trial was sufficient to convict
him and he was sentenced to DEATH
One of the most important chains in
the evidence that was used to secure
the conviction of Hoffman was the
fact that soon after the murder of
Myers he suddenly disappeared from
Kansas. When he was taken into
custody Hoffman was wearing a hat
that belonged to Myers, and the one
that the murdered man wore the day
that he was killed.
Mrs. Myers still adheres to her story
that ner husband was murdered by
band of negroes, but the prosecution
will try to show that her story of the
negroes has no foundation whatever.
