ure on one Madison street last week,
walking quietly back and forth from
the rooming house where he stayed to
the court house. Contrary to a mis-
conception in Norfolk Boche has not
been confined in the county Jail dur
ing the trial, the bond which he gave
for his appearance in court holding
good during the progress of the trial.
The charge upon which Herman
Boche is being prosecuted down in
the district court at Madison is muir
der in the first degree" an offense
which is punishable with life impris-
onment or by hanging. County Attor-
ney Koenigstein in his complaint
charges that the murder Of Frank Jar
mer was premeditated The jury can

the first or second degrees or for man
slaughter. While the state probably
has not hoped for a verdict Of first
degree murder yet technically it is
upon this charge that Herman Boche
has been prosecuted.
