WEEKS’ TRIAL NEXT
State’s Attorney Fessenden
Wants It at once.
The Murderer’s Counsel Believes the State
Should Show Some Leniency.
To-morrow it will be determined
whether David Weeks will be tried at
once for the part he took in the mur-
der Iat Daniels’ Farms. It is understood
that State’s Attorney Fessenden is anx-
ious to place him on trial for murder
immediately, but Attorney Klien, who
is Weeks’ counsel will oppose any mo-
tion to try him now. Mr. Klien holds
that without the evidence of Weeks,
conviction could not have been secured
in Boinay’s case and therefore the
state, when its case is aided by a pris-
oner, even though the prisoner may
have been implicated in crime with the
party he testifies against, should make
some allowance.
Should the state’s attorney demand
a speedy trial for Weeks, Mr. Klein
will oppose it with all the force at his
command. ' He has told State’s Attor-
ney Fessenden that it would be unfair
to place Weeks on trial at present and
he is in earnest in that belief. Mr).
Klein says the state should cousidei
the aid that Weeks has furnished and
act as it has always done heretofore in
cases .w heie simila1 conditions have
arisen. I I
