STILL CATCHING At SIRAWS
A New Point Raised by the At
tOrneys of Cherry
IS NOT GUILTY OF PERJURY
They Contend, Because an Oath Was
Not Required by Law
The Harry Fluke Habeas Corpus Case Decided
by Judge Smith-Serious Charge
Against an Attorney-Notes

Another point has been raised by
Messrs. Davis and Rush, the attorneys of
Frank NJ. Cherry, the crooked little ste
nographer now under indictment on half
a dozen charges OF perjury, by which they
hone to clear their client by knocking
out the indictments. Cherry, it will be
remembered. was suenographer in Justice
Morrison's court. and in making out
transcripts Of testimony. over-charged in
numerous cases, His demands were ap-
proved by Justice Morrison, after which
Cherry swore to their correctness. and
was duly paid. After an examination,
six Of the most fragrant cases were Sc
lected, and the grand jury returned that
mum Der Of indictments against him.
Cherry came up for arraignment in de-
partment one Of the superior court Def ire
Judge Smith yesterday morning. After
that formality had been gone through
with, Mr.. Davis presented IA demurrer to
the indictment that was somewhat in the
nature OF surprise to the court and the
prosecuting officers. Briefly stated the
demurrer set up the ground that the in
dictment did not state public offense,
for the reason that there is nothing in
the statutes which requires stenographer
TO swear to his demands. He is not paid
by demands in the regular way, but the
code provides that his claim must bs
certified to and ordered paid by the Judge
Of the court in which the services are per-
formed, and that his having sworn to the
correctness of his claims was wholly un-
necessary. Mr.. DAVIS contended that an
oath not beng required by law, it was
not material for one to be made, and
that point being established, the charges
OF perjury aaginst Cherry must fall.
Judge Smith evidently agreed with
counsel, for he said if it was true chat the
oath was not material, the essential
element in perjury was lacking, and the
indictments were therefore void.
Deputy District Attorney McCOmas said
he was not prepared to go into the merits
of the question at this time. 1t was i'm
portant that the question should be set
tied before further proceedings are taken,
as 1t would be work thrown away to go
on if the point raised by the defense is
sustained by the court.
Judge Smith SAID the matter was too
important to be decided without due de-
liberation and Investigation. He there
fore instructed both sides to prepare their
points and submit authorities. and in the
meantime the demurrer WAS taken under
advisement.

acquistal, the jury returning verdict to
that effect last evening. Mrs. Garvey
was greatly rejolced at the verdict, which

Tie result was in the nature of sur

the woman put her hand in Mrs. John

been made out against her that would

Sick headaches arise from a variety Of

when the liver is torpid, when the kidneys
are inactive, nature rebels. Nature being
at war with itself something must be hurt,
and too often the head aches.
You can always tell when a headache is
coming on. A dull, heavy sensation, brow
pains, eyes aching and watery, chilly SEN
sations, nausea, constipation OF the bowels,
highly colored urine, sleeplessness, all show
that the liver, kidneys and stomach are in
active and that the blood is impoverished.
Don't you know the blood is made up OF
serum, red and white blood corpuscles, also
earthly phosphates ?eGood blood must have
a specified amount of each of these COM
ponent parts. When the blood is good and
healthy blood, and the liver, kidneys and
stomach are daily doing good work, the man
or woman is buoyant, happy and enjoying
good health. When the blood is impure
and the stomach, liver and bowels inactive
you must of necessity feel blue, feel de-
spondent, feel melancholy, feel weary, feel
