ma Timmermann.
Blue Earth County is to have
another murder trial, Ambrose Reiff
OF Nicollet county having been ar
rested Thursday on the charge OF
killing the infant child of Mrs. Emma
Zimmerman, a widow of Mcpherson
township with whom he is supposed
to have been on terms of intimacy.
The complaining witness in the pro-
ceedings is Mrs. Timmerm ann's
brother-in-law.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed in March. About that time
Reiff was arrested on the charge of
fornication with Mrs. Timmerm ann
and was subsequently found guilty
and fined 800 and costs which he
paid with money said to have been
furnished him by his partner in guilt.
Reiff claims that the present charge
is an unjust one, trumped up by Mrs.
Timmermann's relatives to keep him
from appearing as a witness in a
certain case brought for the adjust
ment of the deceased Timmerm an n S
estate. Mrs. Zimmerman is now
living on Reiff's farm in Nicollet
county and seems ready to stand by
him in all of his troubles.
Reif further says that there never
was such a child as the one alleged to
have been killed.
He will have his hearing on Decem-
Der 22nd.
