Headley trial delayed again amid wife’s death and holdup plot
Waynesburg judge postponed the Robert Headley case and two women friends until March 10 after the death of Mrs. Headley who died by poison. Coroner Adams said she worried over the trial. Separate trials set for Headley and the women on conspiracy to commit murder and assault with intent to kill. District Attorney Nichols shifted stance from opposition to a short delay. Headley, 40, a gas field worker and father of two, was at his wife’s side when she died after being shot during a staged holdup at their farm home last summer. The prosecutor named Mrs. Pettit as the trigger woman and said the two women posed as men during the ruse. A new jury panel will be drawn.
