Will Former Mayor a.. "A. Ames be
brought to trial second time?
Many answers are hazarded but
that which seems, from present indi-
cations, to be the correct one is: DR..
Ames will be tried this spring upon
old charges in new form prepared
under the direction OF the April term
grand jury which will be sworn In
next Monday.
County Attorney r. II. Boardman
has notyet decided on acourse Of action
He 1nttmates broadly that he is still
discouraged over the reversal of the
last case by the supreme court and
seems 10th to attempt another long
and expensive trial unless confident
that a conviction can be secured and
affirmed and that public sentiment ia
vors of further prosecution.
First Assistant County Attorney G..
s. Jelley, who assisted In the trial Of
the first case and prepared the brief in
the appeal, favors fighting the case
thru again and Is confident that he can
prepare an indictment charging the
acceptance of a bride from one OF the
women Of the town and under 1t in

der the old omnibus indictment" that
a conviction can thus be secured and
under the rulings in the Fred Anes

to affirm the verdict. He believes It

that Judge William r. Cray, whose

of his recent appointment to the

charge the grand jury and handle
criminal court matters next week, but
after that Judge Elliott will preside.
In any event it is predicted that the
incoming grand jury may be advised
by the court to Investigate the Ames

indictment that will "hold water" If
this does not have the desired effect,
there will be still time for more

Congress. not only by meager appro-

limit Of twenty-One years. beyond which
no person can receive tuition. He
thinks this works a hardship upon many
earnest and industrious workingmen

these persons are not self-supporting
