Judging from the questions and the
remarks of the defense attorneys at
the hearing this morning, it appeared
that the woman, who pleaded not
guilty to the murder charge, would
attempt to prove self defense or justi-
fled homicide.
Much interest was shown in the
case, and the court room was prac-
tically filled at the hearing.
Other cases tribe at today's session
of county court were William John

given 80 days on the roads, the SEN
tence to run concurrently with a r.

a former court order. He was put on
probation not to get drunk, and he
failed to abstain from laooze. so the
