The specific charge upon which Mrs. Murdock and her employe, Merkle, are to be trted la. the alleged murder of Harry Harding, sailor, whose body was found in a shallow grave on the J Murdock farm early last summer. The discovery resulted from a statement madfe by an old negro who called at the sheriff's office and reported that he had been asked bv Mrs. Murrtnrlt tn Jig a grave at the farm. Deputies hur-' ried out. and, digging In an onion bed,' where the earth' showed .signs or re- j cent disturbance, round at a depth of' a foot the corpse of Harding, with Its j head crushed In with an axe. 1 Following ner arrest Mrs. Merklo Is said to have confessed to knowledge of the crime. According to her state ment, Merkle, jealous of Harding, had murdered him. single handed. She said she went to sleep 'while the men were quarreling. Presently she awoke put out her hand in the dark and on the pillow beside her felt the wet facte of Hsrding smashed to a pulp. At Merkle's bidding sha said she htelped conceal the body under the bed, and the next night the two burled the re mains in a shallow grave in the gar den. m , i.
