Sorrowful but not repentant Will
liam Marshall, the twenty year old
IKenosha lad, who shot his father
James Marshall Tuesday evening,
faced Judge John C. Slater in NUM-
Ecipal court this morning for the
lsecond time within two days.
He was charged with murder, the
making it necessary to change the
charge of attempted murder to one
of Staying.
Calmly he stood before the court
while his attorney, Calvin Stewart,
entered plea of not guilty for him.
Reading of the charge was waved and
August the 4th, at 900 a. m. was
the time set for the hearing. Mean
while young Marshall was sent back
to the county Jail to be held without
bonds; his attorney announced that
an effort would be made to secure his
release ON bonds from Judge E. B.
Belden of the circuit court, who alone
is authorized to release persons
charged with murder on bonds.
The prisoner was dry eyed. He did
not show any signs of sorrow when
mention was made of his dead father
or of the plans which were being made
for the funeral.
In statement to his attorneys,
however, he declared that he was
sorry that his father had been killed
but that he was still sure that he
shot in self defense.
Two theories of defense have been
outlined as a result of the story of
the shooting which he made to his
attorneys; one is that of self defense
caused by fear developed by previous
quarrels with his father; the other is
that the lad suffered from temporary
insanity brought on by fear.

must have got the gun and fired.
Everything went black before me and
the next thing ! remember it was
all over"
His attorneys declare that there
will be much to tell the court to de-
fend the lads attitude and to show
that he had reason for fear.
Young Marshall asked his attorney
to secure permission for him to attend
his fathers funeral under guard and
this will probably be allowed. The
funeral is to be held on Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock at the home
at Albion place, and at $3.50 at the
st. Matthews church.
1t became known today that some of
the difficulties which young Marshall
had had with his father, had arisen
over his love affair.
He asked today that his sweetheart,
a Kenosha girl, whose name he refused
to divulge, be allowed to visit him
sometime during the afternoon.
He told how the father a few
months ago had refused to consent to
their marriage because of his youth
and stated that on the evening when
the quarrel took place he was prepar-
Coroner Truman T. Parker stated
this morning that at the direction of
sthe district attorney it was held I'M
necessary to call formal inquest in
to the death of the elder Marshall
The facts in the case will be brought
out at the hearing, it was declared,
and there was no reason to duplicate
the work by having a formal inquest.
James Marshall died at 5:15 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon at the Kenosha
hospital as result of the gunshot
wound inflicted by his son, William
Marshall, aged 20, on Tuesday night
after family quarrel.
At $3.50 o'clock young Marshall was
arrested on the charge of murder by
Assistant Chief Cyzak and Sergeant
Schneeberger of the police department.
He was found sitting on the porch
next to his homo at 8 Albion place
He showed no surprise at the appear

anxiety lest he turn fugitive at the
