Judge Hines said he was ready to call tiie murder case for trial at any time and Prosecutor Remy of Marion county indicated his' willingness to go to trial. In denying ball, Judge Hines pointed out that tiie usual reasons for gtanting bond to persons accused of murder did not exist. He said the defendants were# not sick or impaired in health by confinement and that there was no attempt on tiie part of the state's attorneys to delay proceedings. A crowd t hat janarned every inch of the court room cheered and shouted as Judge Hines completed reading his ruling. Mr. and Mrs. George Oberholtzer,
