Nearly 500 was taken from the pockets
OF Pfeiffer when he was arrested. He
said he is a clark. Casey had SIS in
his pockets. and averred he is a me-

with a bOndsman in tow and was re-

Man Indicted by the Grand Jury for
Murder in the First Degree
Changes His
Plea.
SECOND DEGREE
is Willing to Take Long Term Sen,
tence to Avoid Possibility
Of the Death
Penalty.

James Tucker pleaded guilty to
murder in the second degree in the
district court this afternoon and his
sentence will be pronounced Saturday
morning at 10000 a. m. Judge Ham
ilton delayed the time of sentence in
order to correspond with some people
whose names he was given by Tucker
and ascertain more clearly just what
the tenure of the sentence should be.
The state accepted the plea of Tuck
er.
In changing HIS plea to murder in
the second degree Tucker avoids the
possibility of hanging. 1t is under
stood that Tucker is not averse to ac-
cepting a sentence Of from twenty to
twenty-five years and take his chance
for freedom from the parole boasd ON
good behavior. He Is twenty-taree
years of age. Failure to find the chief
witness in his behalf is given as
fuckers chief reason for the plea he
made.
