That he will attempt to prosecute
Jess Willard on n chnrgo of murder
growing out of tho death of John
Young, following n match with Wil
lard hero, was tliu statement of As
Mhtnnt District Attorney Joseph
Ford today when Willard's hearing
on a mnuhlauglitcr charge began.
Font's statement nlso referred to tho
promoters ami others connected with
the fatal match, who wcro later ar
rested. Ford declared Hint two eoun.es
aro open to tho state. One, to view
tho contest as a prizo fighl, prohib
ited by law, and upon such a prem
ise, prosccuto tho ilofcndants for
murder. Tho other possibility is to
treit tho contest ns n leal boxing
match, nnd proceed against tho prin
cipals on manslaughter charges.
"Choosing tho latter altoniativo,"
Raid Ford, "it would ho difficult to
provo that Willnrd didn't exercise
proper caro in his part of tho con
test, nnd I wouldn't put tho county
to tho expenso of going to trial on
such grounds. Therefore, I'm going
to tako tho stand that tho contest
was iv prize fight, nnd I ant going
to nsl: (ho court to hold tho defend
