When the wife and child did come he

Mrs. Mckail was entirely without

A PERJURY INDICTMENT QUASHBD.
The Result of a Grand Jury Ex-
animation.
Judge CRtlin Finds Fatal Omissions in
the Merkley Indictment, and
Sustains the Demurrer.

Superior Judge Catlin yesterday rem
dered decision sustaining the demurrer
to the Indictment against Charles II.
Merkley, for perjury. The indictment
averred that Merkley, as witness before
the Grand Jury, testified that he "did not
say to A. j. Rhoads that he was offered
$500 for his (Merkley's) vote as q mem ber
of the Republican County Central Com
mittee, and that Merkley's denial was
false and untrue" The Indictment was
drawn by the District Attorney on the
facts presented to him, not being present
at Merkley's examination.
In part Judge Catlin said: Assuming
the defendant to have been a member of
the County Central Committee, and that
a sufficient avermsnt of that fact is in the
Indictment there is yet no averment as to
what purpose the vote of the defendant,
as such member, was sought. There is
nothing stated from which such purpose
can even be inferred.
''It is the corrupt voting to nominate
candidates for offices of honor, trust or
profit that is made a felony by the
twenty-fifth section of the purity election
law.
1T must be presumed that the subject
matter of inquiry by the Grand Jury
was offenses of the grade OF felony
committed by the defendant or by any
person. Any testimony showing or
tending to show q felony, or tending to
uncover or discover q felony committed
by defendant, or by another, would be
material and, if false. would be perjury.
But the Indictment fails to state that the
testimony alleged to be false related to
or had any bearing in any degree direct,
proximate or remote. upon the commits
sion of a felony. = There is no
way of ascertaining from the Indictment
whether the alleged false oath was or was
not material to any question before the
jury"
The court then goes on to cite authori-
ties on the subject. The decision is
very long one and deals with all phases
OF the case, and concluded:
The Indictment, in my opinion, is
clearly deficient i'll the necessary aver
ments herein adverIed to, and the de-
murrer must be sustained"
On motion of G. L. Jones, of counsel for
Merkley, the Indictment was dismissed.

TIE TALBOT CHARGES DISMISSED.
They Were Too Trifing for Even
Consideration.
Those Preferred Against Rutherford
by a Japanese Were Again
Continued.

The City Trustees met last evening to
transact some minor business; also, to in
vestigate the charges filed by Japanese
named Tamaki against officer Ruther-
ford and those filed by James McCaw
against Officer Talbot.
Tamaki alleged that Rutherford beat
and mistreated him a couple of weeks
ago.
c. T. Jones, who appeared for Ruther-
ford, objected to the investigation on the
ground that no charges had been pre-
ferred against Rutherford by the Mayor
or Chief of Police, as the charter pro-
vides, and further. that the officer
had not been furnished with copy of
the charges. Mr.. Jones asked that the
hearing of the charges be postponed for
about two weeks, until after Rutherford's
trial in the Superior Court for man.
slaughter. If the Trustees should try
Rutherford now it might prejudice his
crse in court.
City Attorney Brown said the board
had no right to proceed at this time to
hear the charges. Mr.. jones' remarks,
would not be right for the charges to be
acted upon before Rutherford's trial in
the Superior Court.
On motion Of Trustee Devine the hear
Ing was postponed two weeks.
VALUABLE TIME WASTED.
The charges against Officer Talbot, pre-
ferred by James McCaw, alleged that
Talbot used indecent and vulgar lam
guage toward him.
President Lawton announced that the
charges had not been sworn to.
City Attorney Brown said there are no
charges before the board against Talbot
tain such contained statements which
would convict McCaw Of criminal libel.
Talbot said Of McCaw would swear to
the charges he would wave his right in
the matter and consider that charges
properly drawn have been preferred
against him. McCaw signed the doou-
ment, and the hearing proceeded.
McCaw had no witnesses to substantiate
his charges, but there were dozen per-
sons present who coincided with Talbots
diagnosis OF the character of McCaw's
dog. They all swore the canine was
nuisance, and instances were cited to
show that the same big black dog had not
confined his attacks TO policemen, nor
even to newspaper reporters.
The upshot Of the whole farce was that
Officer Talbot was exonerated by the
unanimous vote Of the board. though
several of the Trustees expressed their
disapproval of an officer using unneces-
sarily harsh or violent language to per-
sons with whom they may have contro-
veries.
President Lawton requested City At
tOrney Brown to prepare an ordinance
that would rid the city of obnoxious and
dangerous dogs that obstruct sidewalks
and dash at passers-by.
Mr.. Brown said that, as legal PROPOSE
ton, any citizen now has the right to de-
fend himself against dog by killing the
latter, If necessary.
The board then adjourned, after hav-
ing wasted an hour and half that might
have been more profitably spent in try
ing to learn how to sit bicycles.
