The next jury to which is entrusted
the fate of Mrs. Anna kilduff, charged
with numbering her husband John Kill
duff, probably will be kept in close
confinement during the entire time OF
the trial, according to attorneys en-
gagged In the case in which the jury
disagreed Saturday night 1t has been
customary in the district court here in
all murder cases to keep the jury
segregated from the time it's members
are sworn into service. An order of
the court to this effect was not asked
for by attorneys for either side dur
ing the first Kilduff trial and the mem
bers were allowed to go to their homes
at noon, at night and on Sundays and
holidays. 1t is claimed. however. that
1t is almost impossible for the jury
men to keep from hearing outside dis
,cussion Of the case. particularly when
1t attracts such widespread attention
in the community as the Kilduff muir
der trial did 1t Is not probable that
the case will be tried again at the
present term of the district court, but
will be continued until the April term.
