SMACkER DISCHARGED.
Justice Said the Evidence Die
Not Sustain the Charge
Against Him.

The preliminary examination Of
John SmacRer, the man who was
brought back from North Dakota to
answer a charge OF dispostng OF
mortgaged property. was completed
before Justice Sheldon. Wednesday
evening. but the justice withheld his
decision until 10 O'Clock today, when
he announced that the prisoner was
discharged.
The warrant under which Smacker
was arrested charged him with SELL
ing. conveying or dispensing Of Ger
tain mortgaRed property. Smacker
denied the charge, and claimed that
the property was still in his posses'
sion. Had the complaint charged
him with removing the property
with intent to prevent the mortgaRee
getting possession OF 1t. it is quite
probable that he would have been
held to the grand jury.
The evidence showed that Smacker
removed the property from the state
without first notifying the mortga-
gee and obtaining his consent to do
~. The general opinion is that
Smacker removed the property with
the intent to deprive the mortgagee
Of its possession, but there was very
little evidence to show that he was
guilty OF the specific charge of ''sell-
ing, conveying or dispOsing" Of the
property in question.

ceedings to regain possession Of bis
