Thirty-eight other cases are slated for trial ranging from rob- bery to wife desertion. It is still doubtful if persons accused of the murder of J. S. Reeder will be prot to trial at this term of court, it is stated. The case of the State vs. Mrs. Jes- sie Ackerman, charging first degree murder, will probably be the first case called for trial. Mrs. Ackerman is charged with shooting and killing Adelbert Hoffay on the front porch of the Ackerman home on the night of October 7, Meredith Hoffay, 19-year- old son of the victim of the tragedy will probably be the principal witness for the state. ‘ According to the story’ crime, Mr: fay who was to n from his residence had dinner with Kis wife, delayed her while he shaved. Mrs) Ackerman is said to have used abusive language toward the man and he refused to ac- company her home. Mrs. Hoffay es- corttd the woman and Hoffay called for her‘to bring her back. during an argument that the crime was énacted. The other murder charge is placed against John P. DeWald, — c! with shooting Frank Rosenberry, well-known rancher. DeWald, a teamster and. ranch hand, is alleged to have shot Rosen- berry four times with a 32,20 Coit! revolver during an argument. Ill feel- ing had existei between the two men before the crime was enacted and it is alleged, that Rosenberry was the aggressor at the time of the tragedy. Ninety-cight civil cases are also docketed for trial during the coming session. Tho majority are of little consequence and it is believed that they can be settled with ttle dif. ficulty. of the a GIRL WIFE IS CHOKED DEAD, MEN ACCUSED CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—Mrs, Cath- erine Semeck, age 16, was found choked fo death shortly after two men had been seen to enter her home today.
