WOMAN SLAYER
IS ON TRIAL
MARYSVILLE, Cal., Jan. 27 (by As
sociated Press).—Mrs. Fred J. Wil
son, wife of a San Francisco news
writer, -went on trial here yesterday
on a charge of murder growing out of
the death of Charles Brown, wealthy
sheepman, near Honcut. November 1.
Brown temporarily was living in a
cabin on a ranch owned by the Wil
son family.
Judge McDaniel denied a motion of
the defense for a postponement of the
trial, and ordered the case to proceed.
F. A. McCormick, a brother of Mrs.
Wilson, jointly is charged with mur
der, and Mrs. C. J. Howard, a sister,
has been summoned as a material wit
ness. Mrs. Wilson and McCormick
have been held in the county jail here
without bail, and an effort to secure
their release through habeas corpus
proceedings failed.
McCormick’s trial has been set to
follow immediately upon the close of
Mrs. Wilson’s.
Brown was shot to death, and at
the preliminary hearing the coroner’s
physician testified, that four bullets,
said to have been fired from a re
volver in the hands of Mrs. Wilson,
found lodgment in his body, as did a
bullet from a rifle that witnesses said ,
wras fired by McCormick.
Wesley Potts, a carpenter, and Ar
vi'an Ward, a ranch employe, told of
a quarrel between McCormick and
Brown following a disagreement ear
lier in the day between Bro\yn and
Mrs. WHlson, and the prosecution
j sought to show the cause of the dis
j agreement was attentions paid by
j Brown to Mrs. Howard, the sister.
Circumstances surrounding the
i shooting drew state-wide attention,
j and Superior Judge E. P. McDonald
! admonished attorneys for defense and
I prosecution alike against “trying the
! case in the newspapers.”
Special council has been employed
I by relatives of Brown to assist Prose
| cutor Ray Manwell.
