CHANGES THE RECORD AGAIN.
Judge McCray's Way of Conducting
Court-A Rape Case.

Yesterday afternoon, in the Criminal
Court. John Richardson. colored. was ar
raigned on an indictment charging him
with assaulting a six-year-old girl. He
pleaded guilty TO the charge. He had told
the whole story OF the affair I'm the grand
jury room. After the arraignments were
all disposed of this case was called on
Richardson's plea of guilty. Mr.. Wiltsie
said the State would not be satisfied with a
sentence of less than three years in the
case. He asked that the court hear the
testimony Of the >child's mother before
be somewhat informed To the circum-
stances of the case and not for the purpose
of entering into trial of the case
The defendants attorney said he was sat-
isfied with sentence of three years, but
would not object to the examination of the
childs mother by the court in the manner
suggested by Mr.. Wiltsie. Thereupon Judge
McCray ordered that subpoena be issued
for Mrs Zallezzi TO appear in court Monday
be changed to show a plea of not guilty"
The defendant or his attorney had not
asked that the plea be changed. The record
now shows that the boy has pleaded not
guilty, and that trial of the case must
be had, while il was expressly stated by
Mr. Wiltsie in his recommendation to the
court that Mrs. ZallezZi be examined, that
the examination contemplated should be by
the court only. and that il should not be a
merely for the purpose of allowing the
court to get information from a source
other than the prosecuting attorney before
passing sentence.

COUNTY BAR AND MORAY
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE BEGINS ITS
INVESTIGATION.
Grand Jury Reports-It Did Not Have
Sufficient Time-NO Criminal Libel
Indictments, However.

The judiciary committee of the Marion
County Bar Association held its first meet
ing for the purpose of hearing evidence in
the investigation OF the conduct of the GRIM
inal judge last night. Several witnesses
were examined. The meeting was held be-
hind closed doors. This part Of the matter
was satisfactorily explained by a member
of the committee yesterday. He said that
the duty of this committee would be mere
ly TO examine the facts and make a rec
ommendation to the grievance committee
of the bar association IL the facts warrant
ed that action. To be sure to obtain all
the testimony possible, it was agreed that
the evidence given should not be made pub
lie. There is no means of compelling wit
nesses TO testify and it was thought that
this would bring out the evidence better
than if the meetings should be public.
If this committee should find that there
is reasonable grounds for bringing charges
against Judge McCray it will so report to
the association, which report will be the
basis of charges upon which the grievance
committee will be asked to pass. The griev-
ance committee will then hear evidence at
public meetings to determine what action
shall be taken. Judge McCray will then
be accorded the right to be represented by
counsel and TO be present himself, while
the bar association would appoint counsel
to prosecute the case.

DWIGGINS MUST GIVE UP.
Supreme Courts Decision Against the
ErStWh:Ie banker

Robert S. Dwiggins, one of the Dwiggins
brothers who had family failing for bank
ing, received a hard blow in the Supreme
Court yesterday. The court affirmed the
appeal of Morton f. Runner. assignee of
the Commercial Bank of Oxford from
judgment in favor of Ropert s. Dwiggins
Dwiggins held 5000 of stock in the bank
when it failed and was sued to enforce his
individual liability to the banks creditors
to an amount equal to the face value of
his stock. The bank in question was one
of the institutions established by the Dwig-
gins brothers as branches of their Chicago
bank.
The opinion was written by Judge Jordan
and states that the peculiar liability i'm
posed by law upon the shareholders in
state bank is not in any sense an asset
right, or interest of the bank which is
transferable by deed of assignment in case
Of insolvency. The court held that this
liability was created for the benefit of the
banks creditors and that suit could be
brought to enforce it only by the creditors.
In the original case creditor of the bank
had attached a piece of land belonging 10
Dwiggins. and the assignee filed suit under
this attachment. The Circuit Court of
Lake county refused to permit him 10 hold
the land on the ground that the personal
liability of the stockholders in a state bank
can only be enforced by the creditors of
the bank.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh. to sleep Wen. tn Know
What Appetite and Good Digestion
Mean, Make Test Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indians
spoIis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more mis-
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having it think that their nerves are TO
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicine and spring reme-
dies: the real seat OF the mischief is lost
sight of; the stomach is the organ TO be
looked after
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
pain whatever in the stomach. nor perhaps
any OF the usual symptoms OF stomach
weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
not in the stomach so much IS in nearly
every other organ: in some cases the heart
palpitates and is irregular. in others the
kidneys are affected: in others the bowels
are constipated. with headaches; stin
others are troubled with loss OF flesh and
appetite. with accumulation OF gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. a. W. Sharper OF No. 81 Prospect
street, Indianapolis. Ind. writes as fol-
lcws: "A motive OF pure gratitude
prompts me TO write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medicine.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. have been
sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the
last four years, have used various patent
medicines and other remedies without any
favorable result. They sometimes gave
temporary relief until the effects Of the
medicine wore Off j attributed this 10 my

little physical exercise, but l am glad to
state that the tablets have overcome all
these obstacles. for i have gained flesh.

is based on actual fact"

A township trustee is not TO have the

of the trustee of Jackson township. The
court refused TO order the Board of Com

trustee had contracted for livery hire in
