HAMMER ENTERS
Mt Gull ~ Plea
Appears Through Attorney to Answer
Charge Preferred Against Him
for Numbering Arthur
Hirschlcr.
STATE READY Fer TRIAL
Hammer Not Released on Bail But Ex-
pected That He VIII
Be Released
Soon.

FIT. MADISON, Sept 20-In the
district court here at $50 a. m. today
Fred Hammer. through his attorney.
r. N. Johnson, entered plea OF not
guilty to the charge of the murder Of
Arthur Hirschler On application of
hts attorney. with those for the. other
defendant, Louis Hohl, the case was
passed until Wednesday, September
25s.
1t is practically assured that there
will be two trials instead of one. The
Indictment of the grand jury was
against both on one.sbill and it was
possible for the same trial to include
both prisoners. However. the attor-
ney for the marshal today asked that
they be given separate trials and the
court indicated the request would be
granted. 1t will then he left to the
state to determine which of the cases
Will be tried first. -
County Attorney e. C. Weber, at the
time of the pleading of Hammer at to-
days session, insisted that the report
that the state was not ready to pro-
coed with the immediate trial of the
case was erroneous, citing the fact
that the state must be. ready at any
time to try criminal cases. The coun-
sci for the defendants asked for time
to prepare their cases though, and I'M
doubtedly they will both hold over I'M
til the October term, commencing DC
tober IS.
Hammer was not releases on bail to-
day as had been indicated by his at
torney 1t seems there was slight
hitch in the securing OF the sureties
and that the release will issue Mon
day.
