"The court is disposed to consider
this case without hearing the accused"
said Col. Anderson.
However, as DR.. Morrison had all
ready prepared a statement and was
willing and anxious to have 1t made
a part of the record, he was given an
opportunity to read it. The statement
went into the details of his move
ments in regard to the actions on the
two occasions of which criticism was
made.
No further evidence was of course
introduced by the defendant, and the
court room was cleared for the de-
alterations of the tribunal. After a
quarter of an hour the finding was
complete and the doors were opened.
Lieut.. Cone on Trial.
The case of Lieut.. Chas. e. Cone
was taken up at 800 o'clock, the court

had not seen any soldier or officer sit

He saw the sheriff throw a man down

TOTTEN VILE.
WARM FIGHT ON.
Richmond County the Sci ne of an
Active Campaign.

Richmond county is the centre of a hot
local political fight this year, with the
Republicans using every effort to elect
William H. Jackson, a popular nominee,
to the Assembly AMI the Democrats
straining every nerve to pile up a big
majority for Judge John j. Kenny, their
nominee for District Attorney.
Because Judge Kenny recently refused
to interfere in behalf of a man convicted
of a mean theft he has alienated the
''gang" vote in the county. But his
retort that "a man guilty of this despite
able crime is neither a Democrat nor a
Republican, but a criminal'' is winning
the support of many Republicans and
independents. Moreover, Judge Kenny
is one Of the borough's leading lawyers
and a self-made man, while his opponent,
Thomas Garrett, a young lawyer, is COM
paratively unknown.
The Republican nominee for the As
scmhly, jackson, has a like advantage
over his opponent, Arnold Widmyer, and
if the county is close, shrewd observers
predict that Kenny and Jackson will be
the victors.
