kept this entire section astr for sew
eraI months, will be threshed out in
court here next week, when Anton
Petras will he tried on the charge of
having killed the pretty 19-year-old
girl who was his former sweetheart.
Whether the trial will lift the veil oil
mystery that now enshrouds the muir
der is a question in the minds of those
who have followed the developments
OF the case closely. SO far as the pub
lie is aware all of the evidence against

| that day she was TO have been married

! Hollander had long been sweethearts.
| but "A quarrel occurred between the
two and Petras married another But
his attentions to his former sweetheart
did not cease with his own marriage
or with the knowledge that Miss Hol-
lander had become engaged to an
other.
Negro Is Chief Witness.
1t liz expected that one Of the chief
witnesses for the prosecution in the
coming trial will be Waiter Hickman
n negro who lived near the homes OF
Pctras and Miss Hollander and knew
both of them by sight Hickman is
believed to have been the last person
excepting the one who committed Tho
foul murder, who saw the IIollandel
girl alive. At the preliminary investi'
!, | cation the negro testified to have beer
a passenger on the same street ca
with Petras and Miss Hollander abou
10 O'Clock on the night that the gin
was slain. According to Hickman tn
girl alighted at the street near tn
cemetery which was the nearest to he
home. Petras left the car at the mex
