New CASTLE, March 23.-[Special. lin
the Henry county circuit court today
Judge Eugene III. Bundy held that the
complaint in the mandamus proceedings
brought by P. NJ. Gilies. editor Of the
New Castle Democrat, to compel Richmond
Wisehart. county auditor, to open the
books and records of the county to the ed
itor or any other person who may desire
10 inspect the same, was good and over
ruled the demurrer of the defendant.
Adolph Rogers of counsel Tor the de-
PENDANT had fled long brief in which he
cited a multitude of authorities, the gist
of which purported TO set forth
that the auditor must be paid
for his time before he could be compelled
to show documents to the relator.
The Hon. D. w. Chambers. for the re-
lator. said that the statutes give any per-
son the right to inspect the records.
The case will now be tried upon it's
merits. The ring has made long and
bitter fight against opening the books
and il looks now as though there was a
possibility of the people being permitted
10 see where their money goes.
