ALL FOUR ARE INDICTED
Grand Jury Indicted Clarence and
nuoh Teale,. TEN and Ed Young
For First Deeree Murder.

District court is still in session
and so is the grand jury, but it is
likely that the business of the term
will be completed on Thursday. The
grand jury made it's first report last
Saturday, returning indictments
against Clarence and Hugh Teale,
Tom and Ed Young, for murder in
the first degree, for the murder of
Mrs. Lee Zornes at her home in
Long Creek township on the night
of December 7th. All of the de-
PENDANTS are in Jail having been
bound over by Justice Pryor with
out bond, and after the indictments
were filed Judge Maxwell remanded
them back to Jail without bond to
await trial. Their attorneys asked
leave, to file. motion asking that
they be admitted to bail during the
term, and this was granted by the
court, but the motion had not been
filed up to the time The Reporter
went to press on Wednesday,.
The grand jury ignored the case
against Dutch Carroll, who had been
bound over on the charge of assault
with intent to commit great bodily
injury and he was discharged. Sew
eral other cases have been under in
vestigation by the grand jury and it
is probable that more indictments
will be returned before they adjourn.
In the case of Ira Shriver vs.. Joe
Bailey, in which the plaintiff sued for
commission for selling farm for
defendant, jury was empaneled and
the case started on Thursday but
after plaintiff evidence had been
su omitted the court took the case
away from the jury and instructed
them to return verdict in favor of
the defendant.
