All Held To Answer

The examining trial of Sam Lee, who is charged with the assassination of D.C. Moles, in Clinton county, on September 21, and John Allen Lee and Alvin Lee, who are charged with aiding and abetting in the crime before and after the fact, were held before County Judge J.G. Sloan. The trial consumed three days and part of two nights. Sam Lee was held over to await the action of the next Clinton county grand jury without bond.

John Allen Lee, the father, was held over also on the charge against him and bond allowed him of $500. Alvin Lee, the brother of Sam, was also held over and bond allowed him of $3,000. A good deal of interest was taken in the trial. As Moles was a government witness against Alvin Lee for an alleged violation of the revenue laws and was killed on his way to Albany to testify in the trial of Lee, the Government has had a Secret Service man securing evidence and helping in the prosecution of the cases.
