PERJURY CASE ENDS
IN JUROR GINsGERG
PROSECUTION SUSTAINED.
inf RMATtON WAS DEFECTIVE
County Attorney Has Privilege of Fill
ing an Amended Complaint But
He Will Probably Drop
the Matter.

The information charging Albert Gins
berg with perjury was thrown out Of
court by Judge McClernan this morning
on a technical ground. The information
had been demurred to by Ginsgerg's
counsel, Attorney Wines, and the de-
murrer was argued by the later and
Deputy County Attorney Makel this
morning with the result stated.
Ginsberg is the man who was arrested
and charged with perjury for making an
affidavit alleging that the jurors who Off
ciated in the Felker murder trial had
looked at certain photographs while de-
liberating on their verdict. The demurrer
to the charge alleged the usual formal
defects in the information.
In his argument this morning Mr..
Wines took the position that the affiant
was no part of judicial proceeding, and
that the informa ton, in order to be good,
should have alleged that fact, and had
net done so. Mr. Makel contested this
with the statement that 1t did not seem
to be necessary to allege the matter
named in the information.
Judge McClernan sustained the de-
murrer and granted the county attorney
permission to Ale an amended complaint.
This ends the present proceeding against
Ginsberg. In order to continue the prose-
cution Of him on the charge of perjury
it will be necessary for the prosecution to
file a new Information against him.
The probabilities are that the case
against Ginsberg will now be dropped. as
the count. attorneys office is not now so
positive of his guilt as when the first
charge was made Other jurors have filed
affidavits supporting him since then, and
the truth of his is grown to be less
doubted.
The motion OF Felker. who was found
guilty of manslaughter in killing ]. B.
Cunningham, for a new trial was filed
in his case some time ago and is to be
passed upon in the future. Ginsberg afii-
davit. which went to show irregularities
on the part of the jury, was to be used
to support this motion, but it is claimed
that it cannot be introduced in the mat
ter for that purpose.

or the fact that he made a shocking
