Motion rejected. fni flicmiccnl ivi uiaimaaai of murder charge A Northumberland County judge has ruled there is enough evidence to hold a Shamokin man for trial on charges that he murdered a taxi cab driver on Sept.

2. Judge Barry F. Feudale rejected a motion to dismiss the murder charge filed against Chris W. Haddock, 31, for the death of the taxi cab operator, Harry C. Latshaw.

The action clears the way for the case to go to trial. Haddock's court-appointed defense attorney, Michael S'uders, asked for dismissal of the murder charge, arguing that the prosecution failed to present enough evidence during a recent preliminary hearing to show the cause of death Feudale denied the defense motion after hearing testimony from a forensic pathologist on Monday and reviewing a transcript of testimony presented at the Oct. 16 preliminary hearing before District Justice Wilbur Reddinger of Shamokin. ml MONUMENTAL ti fT'Tu, WORKS Light Available A Tradition of Excellence Since 1922 1310E.
