RICHARDS HELD
WITHOUT BAIL
FOR MURDER OF
MRS. W.T.. BROWN

The examining trial of o. A. Rich
ards, charged with the killing OF
Mrs. w. Francis Brown, on the morn
ing Of June 7th was held before
Judge Thompson today. Richards
has been in jail at Barlow, pending
the recovery of W. Francis Brown.
who was wounded by Richards at the
same time the latter shot Mrs,
Brown.
After hearing the testimony in the
case and taking 1t under advisement
for several hours, Judge Thompson
rendered a decision in accordance
with that of the corners jury, Of
murder In the first degree, which
means that Richards must go to jail
without bail to await his trial at
the next term of the Circuit Court.
Messrs. J. q. Williams and A. x.
Erickson represented the defendant,
and Mr. H. H. Baskin the prosecu-
tion. and both sides put up an ex-
cellent legal battle.
Practically the same evidence
was given at the trial as at the coro-
ner's inquest, the same witnesses tes-
tifying for the State, with the addi-
tion of Mr.. Brown, who told the
story OF the tragedy practically as 1t
has been detailed in these columns.
Frank Arel and Lloyd Heath, the
latter boy of about ten years, who
were eye-witnesses of the killing,
gave their testimony. The defense
introduced no witnesses.
The story as told by the witnesses,
and as heretofore detailed in these
columns is subtantially that Brown
and Richards were cropping on
shares; that they disagreed as to the
division of the crop; that on June
9Th, Brown and his wife, and Frank
Arel, who was employed by Brown,
went out to the place. and. following
some discussion, Brown ordered
Richards of the place; that Richards
attempted to strike Brown with
hammer, and that Brown took the
hammer from him; that Richards
then left and Brown nailed up the
house; that during the night Rich
ards and his wife returned and we're
occupying the premises next morn
ing when Brown, his wife and Arel
drove up, that Richards was in the
garden digging potatoes, and when
his wife called him, he left his work
and ran to the house; that shortly |
he EMERGED from the house
with a shotgun presented, calling to
the occupants of the wagon that |
they must not aIight; that immedi-
ately thereafter lie opened fire, the /
first shot striking Brown and the
second killing his wife. No words,
except the injunction Of Richards to
the occupants of the wagon not TO /
alight. seems to have been spoken at
the time Of the killing.

out that the duties were too low to

an increase to eleven per cent. Soon
after Turkey joined the Central Pow
