The state took first blood in the county
road fund prosecutions yesterday morning
when the motions OF ex-county Commits
siener Heaton ard exRoad supervisor :
s. Kinney. jointly Indicted for obtaining
money under FALSE pretenses. for change
OF venue from Judge Benson to one OF the
other judges Of the superior court. were
oserruled by Judge Benson
The motions were based On the alleged
prejudice Of Judge Benson against the de-
PENDANTS both kinney ard Heaton stating
In affidavits filed in support OF the MOTORS
:hat they could not have fair and impair
;iai trial before Judge Benson, for the re.l-
son that the latter had prejudieed tner
cases.
This move on the part of the defendants
was not a surprise to the prosecution. As
il had been generally understood that tue
defendants would object to Judge Benson
hearing the eases Upon iae over .uas OF
the motions for change OF venue, the de-
PENDANTS then moved the court 10 set aside
the indictments against them or the
grounds that the names of all or Inc WIZ
nesses examined by the grand jury were
not properly Endorsed on The indictments;
that special counsel were present In the
grand jury room when the indictments were
being discussed in violation Of the stAtu-
tory provisions regarding grand Jury pro-
ceedings; that the grand jury was improp-
eriy summoned. impaneled and sworn. and
that the indictments were not properly filed
BIZ the county clerk.
The defendants attorneys were not pre-
pared 10 argue these motions. however.
aud were given until Monday morning in
which to file affidavits in support OF the
motions. At that time Judge Benson will
rule upon the suffeieney Of the indictments
after hearing the matter argued.
Heaton made similar motions for a
change OF venue and to quash the indict-
ment in each of the two cases where he is
indicted with Levi c.. Smith. once for forg-
cry and once for obtaining money under
false pretenses and the court made similar
rulings. Heaton and Kinney were repre-
sented by Attorney John F. Dore.
In ruling upon the motions for change
of venue. Judge Benson denied that he was
prejudced against Heaton and Kinney. and
thought he could give them a fair trial.
Immediately after the postponement Of
the argument on the motion 10 quash the
Heaton and Kinney indictments. County
Commissioner Boyce. indicted with Hea;on
on A charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses, was arraigned and requested
plead At that time W. A. Burtensnaw
and James Bracket will also be before the
court 10 plead 10 indictments charging
them with obtaining money under false

This constant cutting Of records at
almost every middle distance race held
this season brings forward promi-
nently the question as to when this
smashing of marks is going to end.
If this time reducing speed be sustain
ed for very long, it looks as though
some rider will cover the Is miles in
20 minutes fiat.
1t is interesting to note that on the
day of Elkes wonderful performance
Edouard Taylore gave another proof
OF his quality as sprint rider in adj
dition to his ability to stay at middle
distances. The young Frenchman
made the marvellous time of I'm.
so 3-5s for mile creating a worlds
record. Taylore was paced by three
Quint teams, and his thirds were
caught respectively as 80 2-5 seconds,
81 LIS seconds and 81 seconds.
Not a particle of wind was blowing
at the time, and the conditions were
absolutely perfect for the effort. The
best previous record for the paced
mile against time was I'm. 35s., held
by j. Platt-Betts, the wonderful little
English sprint rider. 1t was made on
