on a first-degree murder Indictment
for the death of Hunter r. Stotler,
prohibition agent for the western
Maryland district will start in court
here February %, according to an
agreement between States Attorney
Harper Ballentine and counsel for
Walters.
Walters was found guilty of first
degree murder by a jury December
9. 1927. The jury recommended that
the death penalty be not exacted.
which made life Imprisonment man
datory. He had told the jury that
he fired in self-defense when Stotler
reached for his revolver after he
had been accused of intimacies with
Walters wife.
Mrs. Walters took the stand for
her husband during the trial and
unfolded a sordid story OF "love
slavery" She had revealed the rela-
tions that existed between herself
and Stotler, she declared, and as
serted that she owed all to her hus-
band for releasing her from Stotler's
influence.
A motion for a new trial follow
ing his conviction was oyerruled,
and the present trial was granted
when the appellate court remanded
the case. In all proba bility Judges
Frank G. Wagaman and Albert A.
Doub will preside at the trial.
Stotler was killed July 26, 1927,
while on an ostensible search for
