Rickner, who shot and killed her husband, Lieut.. James c. Rickner to death at Camp McCel- len on June 29, was rearrested this afternoon shortly before o'clock under a federal warrant charging murder and lodged for a second time in a cell at the county jail.
 The warrant under which Mrs Rickner was rearrested Thusday aft ernoon was sworn out by William M. Gray, a special agent for the de- partment of justice, and who has been investigating in Anniston and Camp Mcclellan for the past 10 days. It was issued by United States Commissioner J. T. Whteside before whom the pris- oner was carried and ordered confind in the county jail. Accompanied by one of her attorneys Cleve w. Allen, Mrs. Rickner went from the commis- sioner's offic to the county jail under the escort of Deputy Marshal w. D. HarWell, the prisoner and Attorney declining to make any statement on the affair of which much interest has been aroused since the shooting of the army officer at Camp Mcclellan. Business Men Signed Bond.
 Mrs. Rickner was granted bail in the sum of $3,000 at her preliminary trail before Judge J. B. Holman on Saturday, July ', and was released on bond signed by 35 Anniston peo- pie July Il, it being estimated that the bond was worth s1,o0o,oOo.

Mrs. Rickner had announced her intention to remain here until after her trial next fall.
