THE SUPREME COURT Case of the Territory Against
 George Gulf
 FAULTS IN THE INDICTMENT
Intention That the Warrant Was Illegal.
The Famous Graham County Case Argued and Submitted for a Fi- nal Dectsion-Ths Appeal of Sex to Molino Also Submitted.

The most important case called up
 I~ supreme court so far this session was argued yesterday. It was that Of George Cuff against the territory, brought from Graham county. At torneys John McGowan of Stafford and E. J. Edwards of Globe appeared for the appellant, and District Attorney Attorney-General Frazier for the re- spondent. The appellee was given leave to file brief and the cause was submitted. As readers of The Republican know, Cuff, who had been a prominent citizen of Graham coun. y for many years, had been a candidate on the republican territorial ticket for councilman at large and had been elected probate judge and county school superintendent in his own county. It was during his term of of hce that the offense with which he was charged Is alleged to have been committed; that he had presented to the county treasury warrants which it is said he had raised, and which were paid. The amount said to have been thus feloniously obtained by him was pitifully small, but he was arrest ed, convicted, sentenced to the peni- tentiary and released last summer on a writ of probable cause issued by Judge Baker.
 E The arguments by his attorneys yes terday were practically the same as those advanced on the hearing of the application for a writ of probable cause. s-i
 It is contended by them that the in- dictment against Cluff was defective in that it did not set forth facts con- stituting public offense. It was not stated in the indictment that the warrant had been drawn by the super intendent and had been endorsed by the person named in it. If this pro- cedure was not followed, the treas urer erred in paying it. That is, he paid warrant without authority. This view is supported by quotations from the revised statutes defining a felony and describing the duties of the county treasurer. To make it more c1ear, if the warrant presented by Cluff was not such a one as the treas urer might legally pay, Cuff could not have committed a felony in pre- pairing and presenting it. This ob- jection is only technical, is intended
