The 1 rial oi . lames Lctihnrl chnrgetl
with the murder of Newton Molz, both
of Lewisburg, on Saturday night, Apr.
'l , 1900, came before the Union county
irt last week. Considerable trouble
was experienced in get tiliga jury. The
jury selected is as follows :
Henry Maurcr, fanner, Limestone

Hartleton: Heorgc Zicglcr, fanner, Kel

warm contest. No one seemed to doubt
the fad that Leiibart slabbed Mot,
but it remained to prove the motive of
Leiibart which determined the degree
of the crime. The jury evidently did
not consider the crime as premeditated
murder. The verdict was murder in
the second degree.
