Kansas City, Jan. 14.-Frank Holt
man, of Warrensburg, Mo-, the para
more of Mrs. Aggie Myers, was found
guilty on the second ballot by jury
of twelve men, of the willful murder
of Clarence Myers, husband of the
above-named woman. The Aerdict
was murder in the first. degree and
the penalty is death. The defer
dant's attorney brought the case to
an abrupt close yesterday by making
no defense whatever. The first ballot
taken by the jury stood II for first
degree murder and l for second
degree. Upon the second ballot the
vote was unanimous for first degree.
Only about fifteen minutes were con-
sumed in arriving at verdict.
HOFFMAN MAYTURN STATES EVIDENCE.
The trial of Mrs. Aggie Myers, the
alleged accompllce of Frank Hoffman
in the murder of her husband, Clarence
has been set for early in March.
Hottman's speedy conviction and the
fact that he made absolutely no de
tense does not deter his lawyer from
taking steps to perfect an appeal.
The state may use Hoffman as wit
ness against the woman, and as a
consideration for such testimony may
intercede in behalf of the convicted
murderer to have his sentence to the
gallows committed to life imprison-
ment.
