ESCAPES CHARGE OF
VIOLATING THE LAW
Trustee Mcdonald OF Bakersfield, Ac-
cused of Fraud, is Upheld by
Court Ruling.


BAKERSFIELD, March 14.-Judge
Bennett to-day sustained the demurrer
10 the accusation recently filed against
CITY Trustee B. Mcdonald by the late
Grand Jury. The accusation charged
that Mcdonald had violated the law by
selling goods to the city while mem
her Of the Board Of Trustees. The de-
unurrer was sustained on every point,
the court holding that no specific
charge was made in regard to the
goods sold, and that no willful vio-
lation of the law was shown and that
such must be charged before action
looking to removal from Office can be
sustained.
It is understood that no appeal will
be taken and the matter is probably
ended. The goods alleged to have been
furnished the city were articles Of sta
tionery purchased by the city from
McDonsld's store in the same way as
they would have been by any other
