MEYER CASE is REVERSED.
Supreme Court Holds Defendant En-
titled to Change of Venue.

Des Moines, Oct 27-The Iowa SUI
preme court has reversed the district
court of Madison county in the case of
Mrs. Ida f. Meyer, Convicted in the
lower court of second degree murder.
She was indicted jointly with her son
Fred Meyer, charged with the murder
of the sons wife at their farm home
near Winterset, July 25. 1915. Fred
Meyer was tried in December, 1915,
and verdict OF murder in the second
degree returned against him. The SUI
preme court reversed this decision
and Meyer will be retired in Deem
Der. The high courts decision is
based on the grounds that on account
of public feeling in Madison county,
Mrs. Meyer was entitled to a change
of venue and that there was no basis
for submitting to the jury the guilt OF
the defendant on the theory that she
aided or abetted her son in the com
mission of the crime. Both Mrs. Mey-
er and her son attracted wide atten-
ton.
