Mrs. Myrtle Dean, charged with the
murder of her husband, Fred A. Dean,
in Paso Robles November Il, 1919,
faced trial in the superior court here
today
The case against Mrs. Dean is be-
lieved to be largely based upon cir
cumstantial evidence. Before the court
session opened today it was under
stood the defense would attempt TO
set UP claim of temporary insanity.
The staying of Dean, who was a
deputy assessor and prominent in
county politics for years, constituted
one of the strangest crimes that ever
confronted the authorities in this part
of the state. Dean was popular and
had no known enemies. He was in
comfortable circumstances. The only
trouble reported between husband
and wife developed over Mrs. Deans
objection TO living on a ranch, and to
please her Dean had leased the farm
and rented a home in Paso Robles.
Dean was found in a bed on the
second floor of his Paso Robles home
with his throat cut, his nose broken,
and his skull fractured in two places.
Despite the efforts of local author
tiles and San Francisco detective,
who was employed on the case sew
eral weeks by the district attorneys
office, it is said that no one has been
brought into the case other than Mrs
Dean.
She and her daughter, IA years old,
were the only occupants of the house,
other than Dean, the night Of the
murder. The daughter said she slept
in a down stairs room that night and
heard no disturbance, Mrs. Dean,
when first questioned, said she was
not awakened by any noise about the
house that night. Later she said she
was awakened by a noise on the up

comb the city. shortly before mid
night Sheriff Needham and Deputies
Bert Smith and Oscar Bowers found
Mullinlx lying in bed in his room in
the Rex hotel He had been there
about 20 minutes, he claimed He was
taken to jail.
MulliniX. who patches in small
house on Shipping street, and who has
been frequent visitor in pool halls
here lately, claims that he was in town
all evening, and that he was playing
pool at the time the shooting is said to
have occurred.
Bullet Only Clue.
Early this morning Deputies Smith
and Bowers returned to the Steiger
farm and conducted systematic
search in and around the yard for
clues. Sheriff Needham said this
morning that 1t known that Mullinix
had revolver the calibre of which
is the same as the one which fired the
shots, No weapon of any kind was
found on him when arrested, however
One of the buleets, taken from Stei-
gers body, furnished the only clue up
on which authorities could work, they
said.
In the absence of any apparent mo-
tive, Sheriff Needham declared. the
ease was doubly hard to work upon.
If reason for the crime could be es-
tablished there would be less difficulty
in tracing the guuman

Little credence is placed by the
sheriff in the story of an old grudge
Mullinix held for Steiger. Steiger, last
night, told authorities that he employ
ed Mullnix on his farm in April, 1918.
He found fault with the way in which
Mullinix handled the horses. and he
said at the time the prisoner resented
this. Sheriff Needham holds that it is
unlikely that Mullinix would persist
emily brood over this for two years,
then return for revenge.
Steiger Is about so years old, and
strong. This will aid his recovery, hos
pital attaches declared. He Is well
known among farmers, and in bust.
