WHY MORENO WENT FREE.

Judge Be1cher's Sharp Criticism on
Police Court Methods.
Judge Belcher instructed jury In his
court to acquit Manuel Moreno, charged
with assault with deadly weapon, yester-
day, and in doing SO, sharply criticized the
methods of the Prosecuting Attorney in
the Police Court where the preliminary
examination took place.
Moreno was arrested on July %, for stab
bling Andrew Little, a sailor, in a water
front saloon, and his preliminary examina-
ton resulted in his being held to answer
before the Superior Court. Before the case
could he tried in the higher tribunal, Little
sailed for Mexico, and the Assistant
District Attorney was compelled to depend
on the record of the lower court for his
testimony.
After considerable time had been con-
sumed in getting jury yesterday, Assist
ant District Attorney Hinkle began to look
over the transcript, and he incidentally
made few astounding discoveries.
He found that the prosecuting witness
had not at any time identified the defend
ant as his assailant, and had not even been
asked to do SO. Under the circumstances
he was compelled to notify the court that
the record was fatally defective and that
conviction was not legally possible.
Judge Belcher therefore instructed the
jury to acquit in the following words:
Gentlemen, owing to the gross failure of
Prosecuting Attorney Mogan to perform his
duty the case for the State has failed at its
inception. 1t is therefore the duty of the
court to instruct you to return verdict of not
guilty, and it is proper for the court to state
the reason for the instruction. There will
always be trouble of this kind until the
police courts are reformed In every county
in the State the police courts are directly re-
sponsibie to the District Attorneys Office.
Such should be the case here. Culpable
neglect of duty in the lower court has resulted
in fragrant failure of justice, but there is, in
the circumstances, but one thing for the jury
to do. You will, therefore, acquit.
The jury did as instructed aud Moreno
went free,

The new pastor is quite young man

Counterfeit Two pollar Note.

A clever counterfeit note of the value
of two dollars is reported in circulation.
AS there are so very few notes of any
denomination in circulation in this To-
cality, the counterfeit has not probably
found its way into the pocket of any of
our citizens, bnt nevertheless we publish
a description of it. 1t was discovered

banker. 1t is "A silver certificate of the
series of 1891, and the execution is SO
good that the general public is very like
" to be deceived. The note bears Wig
nette of William Window, ex-Secretary
of the Treasury, and is of the check let
ter B. The engraving and coloring is
excellent. and the paper used is of good
quality. A close inspection of the note
shows that it is about of an inch longer
than the genuine. The difference iii
size is also noticeable i'll the vignette,

To Appoint Road supervisors

The county commissioners will short
ly appoint the supervisors of the county
roads. There are thirty supervisors and
ninety trustees, or three To each district.
The trustees serve without pay. They
are expected TO take a deep interest in
the roads and to approve the accounts
of the supervisors when improvements
are made.
A petition before the county commits
siOners asks that the second district
roads be put out under the contract sys
tenn, the claim being made that the roads
could be maintained at less expense than
under the present supervisors system
Objection has been made to the project
on the ground of interfering with the
supervisors already appointed for a term
and it is not thought the change will bt
made on this account, at least for the
present.
Mr.. p. III. Israel, of Davidsonyille
who has attended several road cOnven
tiODs and who takes lively interest in
the improvement of the reads, says tht
proposed contract system had been dis
cussed in his neigeborhood, but had met
withsome opposition. Mr.. Israel thought
that what the roads needed is an appro
priation by the board for the purchase 81
some hard substance with which they
could be permanently improved. Othel
farmers are willing to try the contract
system for time as an experiment.

In May the annual levy viii he made
by the county commissioners. The three
members comprising the board have been
figuring on the probable tax rate and
have come to the conclusion that there
will be a material reduction in next
years taxes. The general rate, it is
hoped, will be reduced from GO to 81 cts.
Commissioner r. III. Phelps says the
road tax in the third district, where he
resides, will fall to about 40 cents, and
that all the other districts in the county
will show similar reduction, except,
perhaps, the first district, where the rate
is now very low, and the fifth district,
where number of abatements have
been made. These two districts, it is
thought, may be slightly increased from
the present figures.

friend. Yesterday Mr.. Taylor arres
ted man named Bradley, in the same
locality, where the tragedy occurred last

who gave him several hard raps on the
head which brought him into submis
sion, and he was taken to the station
house and fined SO and costs.

ing a man. 1t is not a picnic to be T;
