Like other denominations from which

1t is from such assemb'ages rs these

The bright young man who holds the
Office of tax collector for the city con-
cluded few months ago that he would
teach the newspapers of Roanoke trick
or two and incidentally put good round
pile of dollars I'm his pockets. When the
time arrivedsfor him to print the delin-
quent tax list he secured b'ds....from the
evening and morning papers and then
coolly proceeded to have the list printed
in ah alleged journal entitled the Enlight-
ened Age at about the bare cost of the
actual labur performed, and cheerfully
put the difference between the cost of
publishing the list and printing it in his
inside pocket, and gaily paraded the
streets and talked about the lesson he
had taught the newspapers of Roanoke.
He announced that the best lawyers in
Roanoke had advised him that he was
"all right and for \ while he poked
| himself in the ribs and wore n smile that
indicated that he was tickling himself all
over. The healthful condition of his pri-
vate eXchequer, the result of his brilliant
| coup, together with the pleasant reflec-
ton that he had administered ). distress
ing dose to the newspapers made, him en-
| joy life to it's full. The young man did
not stop to consider the interests of the
unfortunate delinquents, as the law plain.
ly directs him to do; but, dazzled "by the
dollars saved to his pocket and being ig-
norant of the difference between the
meaning of the words publish and
t'priut." he had the list printed in the
hot month of August. The two newspa-
pers of Roanoke: after recovering from
the stunning surprise administered by
the dashing genius, concluded to make
common cause and endeavor to pull
themselves out of the wilderness. They
employed lawyer. Result: The city
attorney last week advised the Young
man that he had better have the tax list
"publishei.' and the same was published
in the evening paper of Friday. The City
Council delivers to tue tax collector a
fun" amounting to about $40C to cover
the cost of publishing. If he can have
the list published for less the difference
goes into his pocket. His brilliant scheme
to print the list in an alleged sheet that
has never been seen by one taxpayer in a
thousand in Roanoke was dashing one,
but II dashed in the wrong direction.

BERRY CASE CONTINUED.
Judge Paul Sustains Demurrers to
a Number Of Counts.

Lynchburg News: Judge John Paul, in
the United States district court, yestcr
day morning, rendered his opinion in the
demurrer to the indictments against
Idessrs. L. ID. Berry aud Chas. L. Mosby,
who are CHARGED with violating the fede.
raj banking laws in connection with the
now defunct First National Bank of Bed
ford City. Counsel for the accused de-
INJURED to the indictments on numerous
grounds, and the question was argued at
length by the attorneys for both sides.
Judge Paul took the matter under con-
sideration, stating that he would deliver
an opinion at the opening .ot court yes
terday morning. His opinion was of
some length and considered the conter-
ton of counsel for defense and the attor-
ney for the government. 1t sustained the
demurrer AS to twentysiX counts of the
indictments, aud overruled it us to the
other twenty six different reports.
The indictments charged that the de
PENDANTS, Berry and Mosby, violated the
law by making false entries on the banks
reports to the comptroller In twenty sin
ditieren5 instances, that is to say, IN
twenty six different reports.
The charge in twenty-six counts of the
Indictment is that these false entries
were joint acts OF Berry and Mosby, and
that they perpetrated the frauds Jointly
In the other twenty-s six counts of the in
dictmeut Mosby, the cashier, is charged
with making the false entries lin the re-
ports, AMI Berry is charged with aiding
and abetting him therein. There were Il
large number Of grounds of demurrer
urged, but the court overrulec then, all
except that urged on the ground that the
twenty-siX counts of the indictment,
charging Mosby with having made the
false entries, and Berry with having
aided and abetted him therein, do not
aver that the aiding and abetting of
Mosby by Berry was done with the in
tent, on the part of Berry, TO injure, de-
fraud and deceive.
Upon The reading of the decision by the
Judge, a. j. Montague, attorney for the
United States, stated to the court that
out of abundant caution the government
desired to bring the case 'efore the grand
jury again, and therefore asked that the
case be continued To this motion the
attorneys for the defense made no objec-
tion and the continuance of the case was
thereupon ordered by tie court.
Mes srs. Berry and Mosby were each
admitted to bail in the sum Of $1,000,
and the case was continued until the
March term OF court.

attorney will bring he matter before the
