FAILS TO IDENTIFY NEGRO.
May Gurnett Censured by Judge
Douglas in Court.

May Gurnett of No. 1862 Washington ave-
nue. failed to identify o. T. Marshall. a ne
gro, who she had arrested on a charge Of
robbery. in Judge Douglass court yester-
day, and came near mourning the displeas-
ure of the Court by her actions. She is only
II years old, and her youth probably saved
her from being punished.
When Marshall was arrested Miss Cur
nett was positive that he was the negro
who robbed her. In the Court of Criminal
Correction and before the Grand Jury she
was also positive in her identification.
1t Is stated that the girl visited a prisoner
In Jail recently. Marshall saw her, and
through his fellow prisoner, Assistant Cir
cult Attorney Maroney charges, Marshall
arranged to have the witness state that she
was not positive of the identity Of the pris-
oner.
Before the case went to trial yesterday Mr.
Maroney conferred with the girl. He was
surprised when she told him that Marshall
was not the negro who robbed her. Moth
Ing was left for the Assistant Circuit Attor-
ney to do under the circumstances, but to
enter nolle prosequi.
Mr. Maroney, however asked the consent
OF the Court to put Miss Gurnett on the
witness stand and question her. Permission
was granted. and she broke down. She con-
fessed that Clarence Willet, a Jail prisoner
whom she visited several days ago, induced
her to say that Marshall was not the man
who robbed her. Judge Douglas admon-
ished the girl and probably will take action
against Willett. who is charged with lar
Ceny.

FIREMEN WILL ELECT FOUR
MEMBERS OF PENSION BOARD.
Revenue for the Fund Will BE Derived
by Assessment Under New Law
Which Has Become Effective.

| The law granting pensions to firemen.
which was passed at the last session of the
Legislature. went into effect yesterday.
The old law was declared unconstitutional
because it conficted with a law which
makes it illegal to pension citizen Of the
State of Missouri out of funds derived from
public revenue.
A portion Of the old pension fund was
obtained from one-half of per cent of all
city licenses.
Under the new law. however the pension
fund will be maintained by a levy made
upon each member Of the department, and
in such other ways as the department may
elect, as entertainments and so forth.
The new law also provides for a new
Pension Board, which will comprise the
City Treasurer. City Comptroller City Reg
lister. Counselor. Chief of the department,
one pens!oner, and four members of the de-
partment
Formerly the board had only one fireman
on its membership
A committee consisting of one fireman
from each house met in Chief Swingley's
office yesterday to decide upon way to
elect the four fireman, who are to be men,
bers of the new pension board.
The plan chosen was to combine the
eight fire districts of the city into four
election districts, and vote for candidates
from them.
Under this plan. Districts No. / and .;
and s: 6 and I; and will each be rep
resented by one member on the board.
day, calling for the vote to be taken in
the different districts to-day. He thought
that immediate action should be taken. so
that the new board could convene as soon
as possible.
The law virtually makes two distinct pen
sion funds. both of which will be under the
control of the Board of Trustees of the
Firemen's Pension Fund and Relief Asso-
citation.
The original fund pensions the widows and
orphans of deceased firemen The new law
makes the pensioning of firemen over 50
years old, and who have had twenty
years of continuous service, constitutional.
In the former. there is nearly $50 900
while in the second there is, of course, moth
ing, as yet.
In discussing the matter yesterday, Chief
Swincley said that he was not in a position
to say what the amount of the pension
would be, nor what per cent would be levied
on the members of the department. to main
tain 1t. as that was thing that the new
board would decide.
He also stated that he thought that by
holding the election for the new members
to-day, the new board would be in opera
ton by the first of July.
