TO JANUARY GRAND JURY
Mrs Reiman Furnishes Bond, Goes Back To Farm
Mrs. Clara Reiman, who furnished $5000 bond at the county seat Friday for her appearance to answer to the action of the January grand jury, is described as a comely woman of the countryside, not at all "hard" in appearance, as one might picture a widow charged with the poison murder of her husband.
The warrant, issued last week, was issued on complaint of her stepson, Roy Reiman. a son of William Reiman, the woman's second husband, who died in the Anna state hospital on Aug. 27, two days after having been placed in that institution. His relatives were instrumental in having the dead man's stomach sent to a St. .Louis chemist for analysis. The chemist reported the presence of arsenic in the viscera, more than five grains of the poison, it is reported.
As soon as Sheriff Ross Ozburn's men served the warrant. Mrs. Reiman made arrangements to furnish bond, which she did.
Reiman worked as carpenter in Murphysboro a number of years before marrying Mrs. Clara Ledbetter and going to live with her on her farm. Her former husband died six years ago., and a son died 11 months later.
The warrant obtained last week was issued in the office of State's Attorney C. Edgar White. Mrs. Reiman having furnished bond, the matter now goes over to the January grand jury for investigation. Mrs. Reiman has returned to her farm six miles south of Ava, where she and her 15-year-old son make their home. She denies any knowledge of how poison might have found its way into her late husband's stomach.

The grand jury made its report yesterday afternoon. "No true bill' was its report in the case of Mrs. Clara Reiman of northwest of Murphysboro, whose husband, Will Reiman, died several months ago. The burial was halted as the body was being lowered into the grave. An autopsy was performed at the request of relatives, and it was said the report of the chemists was that a poison was in the stomach of the dead man. Evidence before the grand jury this week was not considered sufficient to warrant an indictment in the case. Mrs. Reiman had been placed under bond following charges sworn to by a son of Reiman. Since no indictment was made by the grand jury, there is no longer a charge against her.
