HOLT MUST FACE JURY
Bound Over for Killing of Henry
Kobinson.
Hans Holt's expectations of dismissal at
his preliminary examination for the kill
ing of Henry Robinson fell short, of
realization yesterday forenoon when
Judge Cameron held him to the grand
jury. The charge was fixed as that of
involuntary manslaughter.
Arguments had been presented tending
to connect the case with a provision of
the statutes which Justifies unintentional
killing in the heat of passion under pro
vocation. The court took the stand that
Holt committed an unlawful act when he
struck Robinson and that the death
which followed Inadvertently was the re
sult of this blow. The amount of bond
was not set.
