THE HoUGH MURDER TRIAL

The Hough murder case is still
dragging its weary length along at In
verness. Mr.. S. H. Kilgore returned
from the scene of the trial Saturday
night, and told a reporter that the
testimony would probably be conclud-
ed today. DR.. Green, physician-in-
chief at Chattahoochee, will be the
last witness.
The summing up arguments will
probably take the remainder of to-
day, tomorrow and a part of Wednes-
day, and it is not likely the jury will
get the case before noon Wednesday.
Mr. E. H. Mcneil has remained over
to hear the ending of the case, as has
Mrs. Crenshaw of Clermont, the slain
woman's mother.
This is the third week the case has
been in progress.-Orlando Reporter
