the decision, went to the Supreme

There is still a considerable flow

THE CITY'S BUSINESS

record is defective or ambiguous
a brief is not necessary or requir-
ed. Mr.. Blackmarr went on to
say that several weeks before the
case came up in Supreme Court
he obtained certified copy of
the Circuit court record and be-
came satisfied after a close inves-
tigation that he would not be JUS
titled in putting the city to the
expense of printing a brief. One
error discovered by him in the
printed record, or rather the omis-
sion of three words important to
a plea, was corrected in the Su-
preme court on his motion for a
diminution of record. After this
correction the case went to the
court on the record, and the ex-
penditure of large sum of mon
ey by the city, or the employment
of an army of attorneys, would
not have put the matter in any
better shape for the consideration
of the court, or have affected the
facts shown in the record and up
on which the attorneys for Pine
depended in their fight for a new
trial.
Although the opinion of the
court has not been received, it is
safe to say that the new trial was
granted mainly on two points
raised from the record. These
were that no venire facias was is
sued for the grand jury that in
dicted Pine, defect that alone is
fatal, and the insuficiency of
evidence touching the Bentley &
Gerwig order as shown by the tes-
timony Of Mr.. Bentley, former
Mayor G.. w. Grier, John j. Nc
Kay and other witnesses on the
trial in Circuit court. These wit
nesses were unable to give any
positive testimony. They evident
ly had not freshened their recol-
lection before the trial, and were
not certain of their memory
touching the alleged forged order.
Their evidence in part was read
by Mr.. Blackmarr from the print
ed record.
In conclusion, Mr.. Blackmarr
stated that he had acted conscien-
tiously in the>matter. He could
have incurred for the city the ex-
pense of a brief and arranged for
a fat fee himself, but it would
have been money thrown away.
He believed that $100 would be a
fair compensation for the city's
legal service at the second trial,
and that this amount should not
have been exceeded at the former
trial which has come to naught.
Council does not intend to let
up on the prosecution of the case.

The salt water ran into stream
from which the Salem Iron COM
pany obtained its water supply.
