bring the matter to the attention of
I'reettdlug Judge Kronaugh In the
circuit court. District Attorney
Camerou denies the Impeaclnueut
and says the state bus not slept ou
Its rights.
At the November term, of court a
demurrer to the Indictment against
Rodman, In which he was Jointly
charged with Mrs. Havel Maddux
with causing the death of Mrs. Heal,
was sustained by Judge lirouaugh
upon his own motion. The court
held that the Indictment was not
sufficiently specific and ordered the
case resubmitted to the grand jury.
The November grand jury did uot
return a new iudictment, norconslder
the case, nor did the district attor
ney take ait action. I'nder the law,
when a demurrer Is sustained to the
fonn of the Indictment It Is uot
necessary to subpoena witnesses
over again and rehearse the testi
mony before tne grand Jury. The
district attorney may revise the In
dictment and tile It as a new proceed
ing. Jeffrey contends that aa the dis
trict attorney failed to do this during
the November term, or on the first
day of the December term, failed to
take the matter before the grand
jury and also failed to secure an
order continuing the matter Into the
uext term, Rodman is entitled to an
order of discharge.
District Attorney Cameron de
clared that the defense is on the
wrong track.
"When the demurrer waa sustain
ed there was no longer any Iudict
ment, and the state has not lost Its
rights," he said.
"Is It your Intention to try the
case again?" he was asked.
"I think It Is," waa his qualified
reply.
After the acquittal of Mr. Maddux,
who w as jointly chargt-d with Itod
nian, It was thought that tire case
against Kodman might be abandon
ed. But the district attorney has
said that he had a stronger case
against Rodman and would frame a
new Indictment.
