MARSHALL, UNDER
GUARD, GOES TO
TRIAL AT TUPELO
Amory, Miss, Man Charged
With Most Heinous Crime in
Annals of State--Father
and Brother Held.

TUPELO, sRIlss., March 2S. (Spl)~
The case Of Charles Marshall, charged
with the killing Of the Miller family
near Amory, some months ago was
called for trial at 8 o'clock this morn
ing, and the long expected legal bat-
tie began. J, N. Berry, district at
torney, Talmadge Tubb, county at
torney and J, +. Rankin, local at
tofney and candidate for congress, ap-
peared for the prosecution, and former
JUG ge Claude Clayton is representing
the defense The Marsha'ls were
placed inside the rail, where they re-
mained throughout the preliminary in
cident to the main trial
The witnesses were called and the
state announced ready. whereupon
Judge Clayton, for the defense, asked
permission to take UP his motion to
quash the indictments on the grounds
that they were not really the findings
of the grand jury, but that they were
found largely, il not purely, on the ad-
vice of counsel for the state. Three
members of the grand jury that found
the indictments were called to the
stands. A. Allen and j. T. Hester,
of Amory, and w. w. McDuffe, of Net
teton, all of whom testified on both
direct and crosse examination that the
indictments were found strictly, on the
evidence and not ON the advice of the
states attorney. The motion was
therefore oVerrulGd.
The defense made motion for a
severence, which Judge Long granted,
stating that they were entitled TO it
as matter of law.
The court then asked the attorneys
for the prosecution to elect which de-
fendant they would try first, where
upon they announced that they would
first take up the case of Charles Mar
shall.
Tie chief witness against Marshall
will be Pearl Miller. 10 years old the
only surviving member of the Miller
family, who testified in a preliminary
hearing 1T Aberdeen that she saw the
accused kill her father, brother, older
sister and the latter's baby, said to be
the child Of Marshall The Miller girl
hid in an attic of the house she said,
after the home had been dynamited
and made her way to neighborhood
house.
Marshalrs aged father and brother
were recently arrested on a charge of
completely in the. killings.
