With the, grand jury in session and considering; the
case, the preliminary hearing on first degree murder
charges against Horace M. Manning Wednesday was con

The action was taken on motion of the district at
torney. Defense Attorneys David Vandenberg and
George M. Roberts appeared at justice court at 2 o'clock,
the time set for the hearing, demanded a hearing, and
asked that the judge make a record of their presence and
demand.
Manning is charged with shooting Ralph W. Horan,
state representative, February 12. . . ; t
Only newspaper men and one or two others were
present in justice court at 2 o'clock, and Manning was not
brought in. In the second floor hall of the courthouse,
however, more than 50 persons had congregated, appar
ently expecting developments in the Manning case in the

Charles O. Dawes, former repub

that President Roosevelt would

That the . grand jury la "
considering the Manning
case was evidenced by the
written motion for a. con
tinuance of the preliminary
hearing, filed in justice
court by District Attorney
T. R. Gillenwaters. The mo
tion asked a continuance by
reason of the fact the mat
ter was before the grand
jury and by such action the
circuit court had assumed
jurisdiction. Judge Barnes
signed an order continuing
the case until Friday at 2
o'clock, but it is not believed
a hearing will be necessary
by that time.
Defense attorneys refused to
make a direct statement about
the state's action, but intimated
they considered it an effort by
the state's attorneys to avert
the necessity of opening their
case to the public. At pre
liminary hearing enough evidence
must be presented to Justify
binding tbe defendant over to
the grand jury.
District Attorney Gillenwaters
said he did not expect tha grand
jury to make a report until
toward evening.
Testimony Sought -'
"There are some phases of tha
case we couldn't get by the or
dinary course of Investigation,"
said Gillenwaters. "That la one
reason we were anxious to sub
mit, it to the grand Jury." .
It was understood the district
attorney meant that questioning
ot witnesses before the grand
jury might bring out Important
testimony not otherwise obtained.
There was considerable discus
sion around the courthouse ot the
question of regularity - ot the
state's action in submitting the
case before preliminary hearing.
General concensus of ' opinion
seemed to be that auch procedure
was "unusual" but legitimate.
The crowd In the second floor
hall was obviously mystified at
what was going on. One man was
heard to ask: 1
"When does Manning's trial
start?" - ; J
