This morning Immediately after
the opening of district court the case
of Miss Minnie Heady. charged with
shooting her brother-in-law, j. Ches-
ter Ong, was called for trial, and
each side announced that it was
ready for trial.
Miss Heady, the defendant, and
Mrs. Ong, her sister and the pretty
wife of the complaining witness, ac-
cupied seats with their attorneys.
Mr.. James S. Carnahan and Mr.. j.
W. Rozzelle. Quite number of
other ladies', neighbors and friends
of Miss Heady and Mrs. Ong were
present, being summoned as witness
es. J. Chester Ong occupied seat
with the prosecuting attorneys.
The work of selecting a jury re-
uuired several hours. Nearly every
man called had read something about
the Ong and Heady cases in the
newspapers and not few stated that
they had formed opinions. Every
juror was carefully and closely ques-
toned by each side.
Miss Heady did not appear to be
greatly concerned over the case. yet
she followed closely the questioning
of each Juror. She seems confident
of acquittal.
Every Juror was asked the ques-
Etion, Would the fact. that the de-
fendant In this case is u woman in
dueuce you IN returning verdict,
no matter what the evidence might
show" Nearly every juror respond
ed that the fact that the defendant
is a woman would make no differ
ence with him in returning a YER
dict
The trial attracted a great deal of
interest and the court room has been
filed with spectators all day.,
1t will be remembered that as a
result of family quarrel two weeks
ago tonight, when. Ong was shot in
the back, he was. arrested on the
charge of making threats against his
wife and sister-in-law, and after a
preliminary hearing was bound over
under a $3.50 peace bond to the dis
trict court. Miss Heady claimed that
she shot Ong in struggle for re-
volver. Ong claimed that Miss Heady
deliberately shot him as he sat at
the supper table.
. Mrs. Ong has filed suit for divorce
from her husband. alleging that he
has been guilty of repeated acts of
extreme cruelty and Is addicted to
the drink habit. a-
Just at l 1 am. the jury was COM
pleted and Deputy District Attorney
Fry made the opening statement to
the jury He told of the trouble at
the Ong home on the night of Feb
ruary "a, reviewing many of the cir
cumstances given by some of the
witnesses at the preliminary hearing
and published at the time by The
Sentinel. He stated that there are
two counts in the information against
Miss Heady, one charging her with
premeditatively and feloniously as
saulting j. Chester Ong; the other
charging her with making an attack
with deadly weapon without suf-
ficient provocation. The prosecution
expected to prove tnat Ong was shot
by Miss Heady as he sat at the table
