H0UGH MURDER TRIAL, ONE
OF THE MOST COSTLY.

Inverness. Fla, Dec. 2l.--The
trial of Albert v. H0ugh for the
murder of his wife ut Clerm0nt,
Lake county. on June |, which end
ed In a jury disagreement after two
weeks trial. has been one Of the
most expensive Of It's kind ever held
in the State.
A change of venue from Lake to
this county was secured because Of
public sentiment against liOugh in
his home county.

bis wife, it is alleged. who was sit
ting at the sewing machine singing.
ard after a few words were passed
he shot her to death in the presence
OF their little boy and his wife's
other. lie then fell down by her
side and put his arms around her
acc&, telling how much he loved
and acting In an insane manner.
He then rushed down town and
into IA store where he knew car
tridgcs were kept and securing box
without permission. he loaded his
gun and approached those in the
store, brandishing the gun.
For Safe Keeping.
lie was arrested and carried to
Ocala for safe keeping. lie has been
confined in the Ocala Jail until
brought here for trial.
One week was spent in securing "a
jury. The jury is composed of f.
R. Ross, J. II. Butler, Winfield
Smith, Jr., }. T.. Roks, ID. G. Johns,
A. N. Russell, l.. B. Bull. d. j. AL
len. +. +. Allen, A. B. King, J. B.
Petty and Tom Quinn.
Owing to the prominence and thu
wealth of the IIough families and OF
the Crenshaws, great deal o!
money was spent in the trial, some
of the best legal talent in the STATE
being engaged. For the defense Col

lock of Ocala, Harry c. Duncan OF
Tavares and George w. Schoiield o.
Inverness are acting. States At
tOrney e. w. Davis is assisted by

, ly. 1t is said to be the only trial Of
Its kind ever held in this State.
1t is said that Hough has displayed
little concern in the case, at no time
showing any evidence Of emotion in
any. His brother. who is a promi-
nent turpentine man. is doing all he
