DILLARD TRIAL AT MARLIN

Killing of Marshal Coleman to Be

Taken up Soon

Special to The Telegram.

 -WACO, Texas, Feb. 14.-  Two or three attorneys left Waco yesterday for Marlin, to participate in the trial of Dillard for killing City Marshal C. C. Coleman in that place some months ago.  Russell H. Kingsbury went down to aid Counsel Z. I. Harlan in the prosecution of the case and Captain T. A. Blair went to aid Counsel Llewellyn in the defense.  There is much interest here in Waco, and in fact in this whole section, in the case, as Marshal Coleman was well known and one of the oldest officers in this part of the country, having been marshal at Marlin about eighteen years.
