The trial of Bob Feeley for killing Martin Hoots, at Burdett last Sep- tember, occupied the attention of circuit court the greater part of the past week. Although the indict- ment was for murder in the first de- gree the state elected to try the case on 2nd degree murder, The following jurors were selected trom a special venire: W. B. Griffin, W. H. Dewese, M. A. Carroll, E. C. Harper, 8. W. Carroll, P. H. McKen- ny, J. A. Robinson, Y. E. Winn, M. H. Price, W. T. Cowan, Chas. Beard, W. J. Merritt. The state’s case in substance was that Bob Feeley had gone from Archie to Burdett on that day, on his way to his father’s, Norris Fee- ley’s. The young man who drove him over testified that he was drinking on the road, that he displayed a pistol and fired it off. That on reaching Burdett he met Hoots and @ quarrel ensued. It was shown that both Feeley and Hoots were drinking and both inclined to be quarrelsome. Feeley had instructed the boy to return te Archie with the team and he would walk to his fath- er’s home, about two miles. Later five shots were heard in rapid suc- cession and Hoots was found lying in the road dead, with Feeley’s empty pistol and his hat laying close by. Five wounds were found on the body, one through the eyes, from left to right, which lodged in the skull, one passed through and in front of his MENS HATS, > + INDIA LINONS. 8 1-8¢ quality at ings at old prices, abdomen, three in his back and hip. Feeley testified that Hoots had abus- ed him and threatened to run him out of Burdett, asheclaimed to have run Fenton and others out. That he attempted to pacify him, but Hoots became more abusive and threaten- {ng and reached down for a rock, when he shot him. A large number of witnesses were examined on both sides. The state was represented by Prosecuting At- torney A. B. Ludwick assisted by W. 0, Jackson and Smith & Denton. The defense was conducted by Clark & Francisco and Scott & Bowker of Nevada. It wasa battle royal be- tween these ablelawyers. On Monday morning Judge Graves gave his in- structions, and the attorneys con- sumed most of the day in their arguments, the case being given to the jury late Monday afternoon. The jury remained out until Tues- day afternoon and when brought into court notified Judge Graves that there was no prospect of an agree- ment, when he discharged them. It is rumored that the jury stood 8 for conviction to 4 for acquittal. A con- viction carried with it a term of ten years in the penitentiary. A SURE 60. Plans Are Perfecting for the Big New Hotel.
