Marengo, Iowa, Nov. IA motion
that Carroll Wright be not allowed to
continue in the prosecution of Eric
Won Kutzleben, the alleged train
wrecker and murderer at Homestead,
was made in the district court here
yesterday afternoon by Popham and
Havner, attorneys for the defense, on
the grounds that Wright will be called
upon to defend the company in suits
for damage to be brought for injuries
received in the wreck.
After introducing evidence to prove
that kutzleben was not at or near the
mail car after the wreck, the attorneys
will make denial of the entire charge.
I'VE will hold that KutZleben did not
wreck the train and that the confession
obtained from him was obtained be-
cause he was so frightened that he con-
fessed to the deed which he did not
commit" said Mr.. Havner
DR.. William Eddy and DR.. E. L. Hen
