write to Joe Meredith, of our St.

tain it from him. Success.

LAW SHIELDS DAVIS
INNOCENT OF FIRST DEGREE
 MURDER UNDER STATUTE.
MRS. RICE CAN BE HELD AsPRlNcIPAL
Peculiar Legal Aspect Is Developed In Omahs's Mysterious
 Tragedy.

Omaha, Neb.-With the approach of the preliminary hearing of Charles Edward Davis. held in con nection with the death of Dr. Freder- ick T. Rustin. peculiar legal phases of the case are being discussed Monday.
 Mrs. Abbie B. Rice. upon her own statement, it is asserted by certain lawyers, is guilty of first degree mur- der, although she had no reason to de- sire the physicians death, and was not near him when he died Davis can not be punished. these lawyers say. al though it may be proven that he fired the shot which ended Rustin's life, without the prompting of Mrs. Rice or any other person now alive.
 It is the provision of the Nebraska law which produces this situation. This law defines murderer as man who kills deliberately and with pre- meditation" or "purposely and maiie- iously without deliberation or premed- itation' Manslaughter is described as staying without malice either upon sudden quarrel or unntention- ally"
 If the evidence in tho case, which points that Davis killed pr. Rustln on the doctors solicitation so that no signs of suicide could be found, is borne out, Davis can be held only as the instrument of death while Mrs. Rice, who has admitted she made a suicide pact with the physician and did not carry 1t out because her nerve failed her. is guilty. under the Ne braska law, of murder in the first de- gree.
