A Chillicothe man is preparing to be tried for the murder of his cellmate.  Casey Pigge is accused of removing a cinder block from his cell and killing Luther Wade last February.  He's set for a jury trial next February in Warren County.  He's now serving 30 years to life in the Lebanon Correctional Institution for aggravated murder and other charges from a conviction in 2009.
