SHERIFF'S CASE
Alexander B. Cooper Argues
for Enlightenment
ATTORNEY. GENERAL REPLIES
State Claims That There Is Nothing
to Prevent Defense From Seeing
Bill in Levy Court Record

Alexander B. Cooper argued I'm General
Sessions Court this morning for bin of
particulars in the case OF the State
against Mayor Evan C. Boyd, OF New
Castle; Sheriff Samuel A. Mcdaniel. Har-
vey B. Wigglesworth and Walter Rash
indicated for conspiring TO present a cer-
tain false bill TO the Levy Court to de-
fraud the county OF $500.
Mr.. Cooper set out that Il IS necessary
for the defense TO know what Il has to
meet before going to trial
I'VE must have further particulars" he
said. Tell us what this false bin was
that is mentioned in the Indictment We
knew who the defendants did commit
but tell Us who was not committed. so
that we may have some light on the sub
ject. Give us something; give us the
number, the date or something to iden-
tify these people who were not committed
The State will surely admit that there
were certain number in the prison law
fully. Tell us then. who was there un-
lawfully We want TO know the number.
as II is numbers we are called upon to
show in this case"
Judge Grubb interrupted at this point
TO tell Mr. Cooper that it was not exactly
numbers that they We're called upon To de-
fend as the charge Of the State is that a
bill was presented by Sheriff Mcdaniel for
more prisoners than We're I'm the Jail in a
certain three months and as to their
names, perhaps the State does not know
them.
Mr. Cooper held that the State must
show the number OF men who were not
imprisoned, by names, or dates or i'm some
other way. All the defense wants is
something to identify the men FOR whom
the sherin presented the false bin.

Wand Presents AuthoritY

Ward Presents Authority
Mr.. Ward presented much authority to
sustain the position taken by him. He
held that the defense lad no right to ask
a bin Of particulars from him. as such a
thing was unknown 10 the rules OF the
court in this State, as it has never been
done before, and they have no grounds for
such request.
The case involving the charter of
the Delaware Surety Company has
been taken to Supreme Court. Con-
tinuanee was granted in the case Of
the Wilmington and Christiana Turn
pike Company VS.. Mccoy. The case
of II. Content & Co, VS.. Bay State Gas
Co.. has also been taken to Supreme
Court
Saturday, at 10 o'clock a. m, is the
time fixed for the hearing OF the mo-
ton TO quash the Indictment in the
Fahey case.
In Superior Court yesterday after
noon. the Edge Moor Bridge Works
were given a verdict of 50 700 against
Patrick Fahey. The bill was for the
iron work Of Seventh street bridge,
which the Levy Court has delayed ac-
cepting from Fahey William S. Hilles
appeared for the company and Charles
w. Smith represented Fahey. The
debt was admitted by Fahey, but he
said he had not paid it because the
Levy Court had not accepted the
bridge or paid him the contract price
for It,
Because of the admission OF the
debt MIR. Hilles asked that the jury be
instructed to return a verdict for the
company. Judge Pennewill gave the
instruction and the verdict was re-
turned accordingly.
These cases were reported settled:

Mr.. Ward said: "The defense says
that / do not give them sufficient par
.ticulars. The particulars are in that
bill. and I submit, what right have |,
as the encouragement. to stop them
from seeing it, They know what the
bill contains, but if they care to see il,
what is TO prevent them from going to
the Levy Court room and getting the

indictment says from day to day for
three months the bill was false. What
difference does it make" he contin-
ued, 'if a certain name set out in the
bin was not there, and probably nine
tenths Of the names were false ones? =?
The charge they have to meet is that
false bill was presented, and not that
a certain man was not there whose
name appears in the bill"
Mr.. Ward closed with the citing of a
number of authorities. and court re-
cessed until 2.30 o'clock
Chief Justice Lore announced that

When the report was started by the

Lucien Baker would be the candidate

editorial:

Senator Baker, backed by the friends of

and there were some he old rows in the

With five candidates for governor,

with the jea1ousies and claims of the
different congressional districts in their
demands for an equitable division of
state offices, all to be determined by d
huge convention, composed of more
than a thousand delegates, the strain
is bound to be tense at least. There is
no question but that it will be the most
