The re suit was that the car, a double truck er, struck the boy, throwing him the tracks and dragging him a dis tance ol eight feet before the car could be brought to a halt. When the car was stopped it was seen thai the body was wedged underneath in such a manner that is required the use of jacks to raise the car in or der to release it.

PROMINENT ATTORNEYS ENGAGED BY DEf ENCE The Trial Will Likely be a Legal Battle as the Best Talent Will be Secured. An unexpected developement took place in tihe Nazareth murder case yesterday when County Detective Johnson went before Alderman Reed and swore out warrants chareine Robert Bachman with the murder of his niece, Irene May Smith, and Mrs. Robert Bachman with aiding and abettag the crime The compiaint was presented by District Attorney McKeen, of Easton, who accompan ied Detective Johnson to the magistrate's office. Warrants were issued immediately. While one officer went to the county jail, at Easton, and served the writs upon Bachman and Smith, who are still locked up, other officers 4eft Easton for Nazareth, where Mrs.

Bachman was placed un der arrest for Alliance where Mrs. Smith was again taken into custody. Both women will again be committed to jail, and neither will be released unless their attorneys ap ply to the court for writs or habeas corpus. The District Attorney says he is prepared to resist any such movement, and is satisfied that he will be able to keep both men and both women in jail until the case is called for trial in June. Mrs.

Henry Smith's release from custody, after the coroner's inquest was completed on Wednesday afternoon, was more of a matter of cour tesy on the part of the District At torney than any decision to allow the woman to retain her liberty. Her father-in-law, Alfred Smith, gave $2000 bail for her appearance at any time the District Attorney desires, and pledged his word that he would see that Mrs. Smith did not attempt to leave the jurisdiction of the courts of Northampton county. The re-arrest of Mrs. Bachman was a surprise, inasmucn as it was an- nounced on Wednesday that the wo- man would be allowed to remain at her home until the trial takes place.

After reviewing the testimony and evidence gathered thus far, District Attorney McKeen arrived at the decision to charge Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bachman with being acces sories to the crime. They will be indicted along with Bachman, on a charge of murder in the first degree Attorneys for the Smiths stated yesterday that they will probably ap ply to' the court for a writ of habeas corpus to have Mrs.

Smith released on bail and probably Smith, too, while Mrs. Bachman' lawyers may make a similar effort to have her re leased. Neither step is likely to be taken, however, for a couple of days. The law firm of Paff Laub, of while A. C.

LaBarre and T. D. Dan ner will represent Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

That the trial will be a great; legal battle is inferred from the report coming from Nazareth that friends of the Bachman family de clare that Dr. I. A. Bachman, broth er of Robert Bachman, will spare no expense in seeing mat me accuteu has the advantage of the best legal talent. The funeral of the child was held yesterday and was the means of at- trading great crowds, of people at Alliance and Stone cnurcn wnere tne main services were held.

The motn- er of the child was taken into cus tody by the officers at tne ciose ui the services. Another Store.
