H'ek man, alleged slayer bf Marian Par kef, today pleaded not guilty to the charge of murdering C. Ivy Thorns, a druggist. . Both boys have confessed they stuged the robbery during which Thorns was killed. Trial was set for Feb.

Ivy Thorns, Rosehlll druggist. . This became known last night when It was announced that Hunt would testify against Hicknum In the tuttcr's insanity defense to the (wo murders. Hunt's attorney, A. Grey Gil more, said his young client would testify that Hlckmun was sane and always had been sinco he' first tmibnrkcd on his known career of crime. " At least one concession had been won by Hunt In his defense against the indictment which charges him Jointly with Hickman of the mur der of Thorny who was fatally wounded when the two youths heW up his drugstore on Christmas I eve. 1926, and engaged in a gun battle with a police officer; Juvenile Trial Following a series of conferences held - yesterday Deputy ' District Attorney Forest Murray announced that Hunt would be tried in juve nile court, a point for which Oil more has contending. Murray said It would be Impossible to ask the death penalty In tho case of Hunt as. he is under the 8-year-age limit. ' If given a life term it would bo possible for him to win his release while stilt a young man the prose cutor pointed out. If he we re sent to a re Co r n i - school until of age and then re sentenced lo the penitentiary., he U would serve seven years before hi J would be eligible to have his sent j diced fixed. The superior court arrnigotnent of Hunt has been net for today. Gllmore, who previously lias 'de clared that Hunt would plead guilty to the murder charge and throw himself on 'the mercy of the court, hife" last niglrt 'resumed his stand and said his young client : would plead not gullly. The at torney said Hunt's defense would stake his own testimony against that of Hickman; the authorities previously have declared that the : bullet which wounded Thorns was of the same caliber as the pistol carried by Hunt.
