TRYING cox AGAIN
Court HoIds:Former Acquittal Did
Not Cover Perjury
Charge.
CASE SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED
Nelson Erricks Having Entered Plea
of Guilty to Illegal
Voting.

A jury was impaneled in the circuit
court this morning to try Thomas Cox
on charge of perjury, for which he
was indicted by the September grand
jury Another indictment for aiding
turned against Cox. He has been tried
on this charge and acquitted by a
jury.
His attorneys. Searle & Marshall,
presented facts to the court in an eff
fort to show that the alleged perjury
was covered in the indictment on
which he had already been tried and
found not guilty, and the whole of
yesterday was occupied in the presen-
tation of arguments. Judge Graves
this morning, however. rendered an
adverse ruling, and ordered that the
trial be proceeded with.
ErrIcks Pleads Guilty.
Since the acquittal of Cox, Nelson
Erriclls, the colored young man, the
swearing in of whose vote furnished
grounds for four indictments-two
against Erricks. for illegal voting and
perjury, and two against Cox, for aid
ing and abetting illegal voting and
perjury-Erricks has entered a plea
of guilty to the charge of illegal vot-
ing. admitting that he was not a legal
resident of the Fifth ward when he
cast his ballot at the election last
spring. Erricks was Il witness at the
hearing of Cox. and then swbre that
he was past 81 when he voted, but
was not very clear as to the length of
time he had resided in the ward On
this point, however, others acquaint-
ed with Erricks swore that he lived
in the ward the requisite length of
time to entitle him to vote. Erricks
has not been sentenced yet.

SHORT IN
ACCOUNTS
J w. War;, Moline
Publisher is In
VOIVed.
AMOUNT IS $4,000
Appropriated While Sec
rotary of Loan
Association.
AMOUNT is $4,000

J. w. War;, the well-known Moline
publisher and for many years secre-
tary of the Moline Savings, Building
d Loan association, it developed today
is short in his accounts with the as
ISOLATION to the amount of $4,000. 1t
is also claimed that he has borrowed
on his personal note to investors in
the association $4,000 more. making
a total liability of near $4,000. The
plant of the j. w. War; Printing
company has been taken charge of by
the directors of the association. Mr..
War; says he will remain in Moline
and pay back every cent he owes.
Within the last week Mr.. War; re-
signed as secretary of the association
and since that time rumors of irregu-
Iarities in his accounts have been in
circulation. Today these rumors be-
gan to threaten the stability of the
association to such an extent that
statement was issued in an effort to
show. that all investors were perfect
ly safe. 1t is pointed out that the
printing establishment that has been
taken in hand is worth from 100000
to $4,000 and that the association
has a surplus of $4,000. Mr.. War;
also has some other property that
may be applied.
Secretary Many Years.
Mr.. War; has held the position of
secretary of the building and loan as.
ISOLATION for II years, and the insti-
tuition is the largest of it's kind and
has been considered the most stable
of any in the city. Several weeks
ago the state bank examiner made
his periodical examination of the ac-
counts of Mr.. War;. He reported to
the directors of the association that
certain irregularities were discovered
and a more detailed examination was
thereupon made. 1t was found that
$27, 900 of the funds of the associa
ton was not accounted for. The
money secured privately on notes
from investors in the association was
that due upon matured stock which
had been left in the hands of Mr..
War; at per cent interest.
Mr.. War; is now at home sick. He
claims that the amount of his short
age has been Cverdrawn and that he
has suffered from a number of cleri-
cal errors, some of which had been
made at the time he took charge of
the office. He declared that he would
not seek to escape any of his obliga-
tions by taking advantage of the
bankruptcy law. but that he would
pay all his creditors in full in due
time.
a Prominent Citizen.
Mr. War; is one of Moline's most
prominent citizens. His publishing
house is the largest in that city. He
has a more than local reputation as a
writer and speaker, being especially
well informed upon educational top
les. Last spring he ran for mayor
upon an independent ticket.
What has become Of the money that
he has taken from the association is
not known. He is a man of eXem-
Plary habits and simple in his way of
living Neither is he known to have
engaged in any speculative enter
prises and his business is supposed to
have been a paying one.
