Of John P. werres, a jitneur. en-
ployed in the Government Print
ing Office. will Tuesday morning
face a jury at the Alexandra County
courthouse and be tried for hrst de-
gree murder.
The case. IL is alleged. grew out
of the trio hiring Werres, who
drove a jitney after hours, to take
them for a ride on May 10. last.
Nothing was known of the murder
of werres until after the two men,
both soldiers and deserters. and the
woman, had been arrested in Rich
mond. Va. for violation of the traf-
fc laws
II was then learned that Werres
owned the car and the trio con-
fessed. it is said, to having murder
ed Werres and afterward hiding
his body. The men were brought
back and led the authorities to the
place where they hid the body.
Since that time they have been
confined in the county Jail awaiting
trial. All three are said to be con-
hdent of being freed at the trial,
although each man Is reported to
have made confessions which i'm
plicate the other.
