Osborne Pleads Not Guilty Alleged Slayer of John Hoctor of Fre mont it Arraigned on Charge of Harder. FREMONT, Ne., Aug. 19.-(Speclal Tele gram.) George Osborne today pleaded not guilty to the charges of first degriee murder and of murder while attempting highway robbery, Osborne was arraigned before Justice Johnson for the alleged murder of John Hoctor to which he made a written confession Wednesday. Since making a confession Osborne has secured the services of attorneys - who advised him to waive preliminary examination. P. C. Maynard and John Graham are Osborne's lawyers and they have nothing to say as to what move they will make in conducting the de fense. County Attorney Cook believes that robbery and not self-defense constituted Osborne's primary motive and he will push the case along that line. The first inten tion of the officers to let the charge be manslaughter has been dropped In view of evidence which has come into their posses sion since the confession of Wednesday, In that document r Osborne failed entirely to tell what became of the watch and money known to have been In Hoctor's possession before his death. Part of the watch-chain was found with the body, but the timepiece and several links of the chain was missing. Osborne remains apparently unconcerned over his predicament EXETER TO HAVE!
