GUSTAV JOMEN
DEATH TAKES CASE TO HIGHER COURT.
Gustave Jomen, Defendant in Criminal Action, Appears Before High Tribunal.
FEW DAYS BEFORE THE TRIAL Liberty Farmer, Who Was To Have Been Arraigned In Circuit Court, Dies of Typhoid Fever Death intervening hand freed an accused man from the infamy of standing trail on a criminal charge before the earthly courts and carried the case to the higher tribunal, presided
over by the Infinite Judge.
Gustave Jomen, a Liberty farmer, being the released one. Jomen was to have been tried at this term of Circuit Court, the case being the first on the criminal calendar, but Death claimed him and his innocence or guilt has already been determined in the court from whose decision there is no appeal.
Jomen was arrested last March upon complaint of a fourteen-year old girl and who arraigned in Municipal Court entered a plea of not guilty, being bound over to Circuit Court in $500 bond, which he was able to furnish and was allowed his liberty.
The crime alleged was most heinous and considerable feeling prevailed at Liberty where both parties resided. On his release from custody Jomen returned home and has since stoutly maintained his innocence of the charge against him. He was anxious to have the case come to trial and was preparing to appear, when taken ill. A cold contracted, developed serious illness and typhoid fever set in claiming the life of the patient Sunday night.
The funeral took place at Liberty Wednesday afternoon. Jomen was a man of 38 years of age and, until the time of accusation against him, bore an excellent reputation. During his illness he was constant in denials of any connection with the case and to friends asserted, with his dying breath, that he was innocent.
The complaining witness against Jomen was Alma Larson, daughter of a farmer, who resides in the neighborhood. Jomen was unmarried. Whatever question may have existed as to the innocence or guilt of the accused is in longer open for judgment. If guilty retribution has overtaken him without the interference of temporal courts; if innocent, he has been vindicated by his maker and earthly judgment need not pronounced.
