HAMMOND HEARING

GOES TO JURY LATE IN DAY

Motion to dismiss the case of the State of Indiana against Homer Hammond, former president of the board of works, who Is being tried in the circuit court for failure to support his wife, was made by the attorneys for the defendant this morning. The motion was made on the grounds that since Mr. Hammond has been a citizen of Ripley county since May 19, 1915, the Wayne circuit court has no Jurisdiction over him. . Judge Considers Motion The motion will be considered by Judge Fox after the Jury has returned its verdict. In case the motion is sustained by the judge, the findings of the jury will come to naught. The case went to the Jury late this afternoon after, a throe days' trial. Reller Makes Charge In arguing for the state this morning Prosecuting Attorney Reller accused Mr. Hammond of paying more attention to other men's wives than his own. "At one time Mrs. Hammond, crippled as she is for life, begged her husband to give her fifty cents so that she might pay the installment on her life insurance which will go to pay her burial expenses when she dies,

and he refused her plea," said the prosecutor. "Another time. Mrs. Hammond because of a sprained ankle could not move, yet of nights Mr. Hammond would leave her alone and dependent upon assistance from the neighbors. There may have been an-excuse for him staying away through the day while working but there was no reason for his staying away after night. Begs for His Return "Mrs. Hammond loved her husband. After she left him in Ripley county because Bhe could not stand the way in which he slighted her, Mrs. Hammond begged her husband by many letters to return to Richmond and to teave the other woman who was living under the same roof with him No response ever came to these letters." Dozens of people gathered in the circuit room today to hear the trial. It is considered as one of the most pathetic that has been tried in Wayne county this year. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hammond are practically invalids. Mr. Hammond is fighting the case on the grounds that he is troubled with heart disease . and is physically unfit to earn enough to support his wife.
