ROSS TRIAL FAILS To
FURNISH MURDER CLUE
Defense Valves Hearing and
Men Are Bound Over to
City Court

The trial of j. T. Ross and his SON.
Leonard Ross, in the municipal court
Monday had failed to bring out any
Wurm mystery when the state con-
cluded its case shortly after noon. -.
Following the closing Of the case by
the state Attorneys Smith and High
smith for the Rosses waived the pre-
liminary hearing and Judge Ridley
bound the defendants over to the city
criminal court for larceny. The elder
Ross bond was fixed at $25 and the sons
at 80. Both made bond after the trial.
The state protested, claiming that
they hoped to throw some light on the
Wurm case through the witnesses of
the defense. The judge, however. sus-
tanned the defense.
The Rosses were charged with the
theft from the Atlantic Steel company
of copper aluminium and copper wire
found by detectives at the Spalding
foundry, which is across the railroad
from the plant The state called N. G.
Harrison, superintendent at the plant,
J. M Hol.owell, r. w. Hastings, E. r.
Dunoway, w. H. Gregg and A. V. Alkir,
all employed at the plant. They fden-
titled the wire as the kind which was
stored in the steel company's warehouse.
The contention of the defense is that
the state failed to make out case be-
cause no witnesses were introduced who
ever saw Ross or his son at the plant
or anywhere near the plant and because
it was brought out in the evidence that
the kind of wire in question was often
sold by the company to the Spalding
foundry.
The prosecutions case is handled by
Solicitor Eb T. Williams. The Rosses
are represented by Attorney William NJ.
Smith and Attorney John S. Highsimth.
