The Information Filed

County Attorney Snell filed this morning in the district court, information charging Monday McFarland and Mrs. Mary Sheedy, with murder is the first degree and accessory before the fact. There are six counts in all heavily laden with legal verbiage and consume about a dozen pages of typewritten copy. The counts practically are as follows:
First - Monday Mcfarland and Mrs. Sheedy are charged worth conspiring to combine, confederating and agreeing together to unlawfully, knowingly, purposely and feloniously and with deliberate and premeditated malice to kill and murder John Sheedy, by an assault with a can, and that afterward four grains of morphine were administered.
Second - Mc Farland is charged with making an assault with a cane, and Mrs. Sheedy with aiding, abetting and procuring him to poison John Sheedy.
Third - This count charges McFarland with an assault with a cane, and Mrs. Sheedy with aiding, abetting and procuring him to do so.
Fourth - That is some manner unknown, four grains of morphine were administered to John Sheedy, and McFarland is charged with aiding, abetting and procuring Mrs. Sheedy to administer the name to John Sheedy.
Sixth - This count charges that John Sheedy came to his death by a blow from a Cane and that McFarland and Mrs, Sheedy and that both of the accused were principals in committing the assault.
It is stated that Judge Field informed the prosecuting attorneys that if the Information was not flied this afternoon he should admit Mrs. Sheedy to bail. The filing of the information, however, does not preclude her admission to bail if the court is convinced that the proof is not evident nor the presumption too great.
Mr. Strode says that Mrs. -Sheedy has lost thirty-one pounds of flesh since her imprisonment.
