MURDER
TRIAL IN PROGRESS
to the Ledger.


MARSHALL, Mo-, Aug. 27.--Judge
Ralph s. Latshaw of Kansas City, act
ing as a special judge in the trial Of
George r. Crockett, held on a first de-
gree murder charge in connection
with the staying of W. Hall Baker at
Slater April 8, convened the Saline
county Criminal Court Monday morn
ing at Q o'clock. Both sides announced
themselves ready. Crockett married
Mrs. Mary Graham of Mexico.
The defendant is represented at
| the trial, which will doubtless CON
! tinue all week, by r. M. Reynolds
and Virgil Huff of Marshall, Dan v.
Herieder of Slater and P. H. Cullen.
of st. Louis.
Prosecuting Attorney A. R. James
is being assisted by A. F. Rector Of
Marshall and Com P. Storts Of Stat
err.
The first day of the trial was con
sumed in questioning the sixty We
niremen from which twelve men will
be selected to try the case. The per
centage of disqualifieations was high
and it is believed another panel will
have to be summoned in order to pro-
cure the necessary number.
Judge Latshaw ranks as one of the
best criminal judges in the State and
will expedite the trial as much as pos
sible and will countenance no unnec
essary delays.
The cause of the shooting was a dis
pute between Crockett and his father
in-law over the possession of Crock
ett's daughter by his first wife. Baker
was very popular in Slater and after
the shooting, which took place at the
Baker home, Crockett had to be rushed
; from the city by the officers for fear
of mob violence.
