Damage Suit.

W. o. Hedrick, who a few days ago
entered a plea of guilty to an Indictment
Tor forgery in the signing of his wifes
and his sister-in-law names to drafts,
has worked what he probably considers
a smooth trick.
Two indictments We're returned by the
grand jury against Hedrick, and With
the understanding that he would plead
guilty to the forgery charge the second
one, for uttering forged instrument,
was dismissed on recommendation of
County Attorney Stone. This morning
at o'clock was the time set for SEN
tence, but when Hedrick MAS arraigDed
ne at once changed his plea to the for;
gerry charge to one of not guilty and
signified his intention of standing trial.
This was a surprise to the court and the
prosecuting attorney, but under the law
Il prisoner has that privilege. In this
case it was the betrayal of a confidence.
however, and County Attorney Stone
Mill make an effort TO have the second
indictment reirstated. There is some
question whether or not this can be
leone.
Hedrick for several weeks has COM
pialned of illness and walks with
criltches. The officials believe, however,
that ne is not i'll, but it trying to obtain
sympathy. Provided the second indict-
)ment is not reinstated he may receive
1.-the limit of ten years on the forgery
charge unless by some hook or crook
heobtans an acquittal at the hands of
s-he jury. He now claims that he signed
the names of his wife and sister-in- law
on authority of his wife. who was i'll at
the time, but he does not say why he ran
away with the money.
