Willis’ Trial Set for Today.

James L. Willis, who completed his 90 day jail sentence Saturday, was re-arrested on a warrant sent here from Newton county, charging perjury in his former trial, mention of which was made in Saturday’s Democrat. On instructions from Judge Hanley the sheriff accepted Willis’ father as surety on a $2,500 bon’d, and he was released from jail. Monday, accompanied by one of bis attorneys. Emmet Laßue, he w'ent to Kentland and asked that immediate trial be had, as he desired to go to Ohio with his family to start up in business there, as has been heretofore stated. Accordingly the cape was set down for trial today in the Newton circuit court,

where the alleged offense was committed. Willis’ wife and children and his wife's sister have remained here at the elder Willis’ home, awaiting the expiration of his jail sentence when they all expected to go to Ohio together.
