OF Slayer of Mrs. G. S. Mascot OF
Barre
Barre, Aug l0.-No date has been
fixed for a hearing OF John Mikales
who saot and killed Mrs G. S. Mas
Colt in this town two weeks ago Sun
day Mikales has been recovering
from the effects of the attempt to com
NIT suicide but is not yet in shape to
be given a hearing. States Attorney
Gates plans in relation TO the hearing
may be changed because an operation
will be performed upon Mikales at the
Barre City hospital to relieve the pres
sure upon his brain At the time Of
the shooting the bullet fractured Mix
ales skull over one eye leaving a
place large enough so that a person
could lay the points of two fingers in
to the aperture. The performance of
this operation has been decided by the
physician, as necessary, but it may re-
suit critically to the man. S. II.
Jackson has been engaged as counsel
for Mikales. He is still guarded night
and day by an officer.
DR.. Reid who is in charge of the
case says that no operation will be
performed upon the man until the au
thority to do it is given from some
ofiicia! meaning either the States At
torney or some other official and he
said he did not know who would give
the authority.
