Barton County hearing set for accused double-murderer

A 10 a.m. Dec. 28 arraignment on burglary charges has been scheduled in Barton County Circuit Court for Micah Joel Holman, 32, Carthage. Holman's case, initially filed earlier this year, was delayed after he was arrested in Jasper County on two counts of murder and two counts of armed criminal action in connection with the deaths of Marvin and Peggy Steverson of Carthage. A July 10, 2006, date has been scheduled in Jasper County Circuit Court for his murder trial.
