The People VS.. sheriff John Gorman

Ken up in arguing demurrer to com
plant and motions to strike out GER
tain portions. The complaint read
that Dryden McClintock, on inforna-
ton and belief, alleges that German
is not citizen, and George Ainslie,
Germans attorney, argued that the
complaint ought to have been clearer
and more pointed in this particular,
as 1T did not state whether he had for
some cause, been deprived of citizen
ship or was of fereign birth and had /
not been naturalized, and consequent
ly defendant was not prepared to de-
fend himself on charge that he did
not know the exact nature of. Of
course both Mr.. Gorman and his at
torney have known from the start on
what grounds McClintock claims that
defendant IS not citizen, but in law
language must be explicit, and Judge
Broderlck sustained the demurrer and
allowed McClintock's ATTORNEYS ito
amend the complaint, which was made
to read that German was not citi-
zen because he is not native born
and has not been naturalized The
time has not yet been fixed for a
hearing of the case under the amend
ed complaint. The Judge said if all
! parties agreed to go to Boise at a
4 time to be fixed upon, the case would
: be continued at the capitol. If not
he would come up after the Weisel
e term of court. The attorneys for Mr.
n McClintock are Mr. G. S. Kingsley
