Krueger, Leslie (Murder Charge - 10 FEB 1919)

 

Will Be Tried on Murder Charge

 

Leslie Krueger, draft evader, was brought to Neillsville last Tuesday from Camp Grant by a soldier guard and is now in the Clark county jail awaiting trial with his mother and brother on a charge of murder.  Leslie Krueger has been at Camp Grant for some time where he was being held as a draft evader. 

 

Government authorities thought it best to have him tried at Neillsville on a charge of murder as the evasion charge carries a much lighter sentgence than he will receive if convicted on the murder charge.  He will be given a preliminary hearing soon and in all probability will be bound over to the circuit court.
