'DEMURRERS SUSTAINED
LAWYERS IN YOUNG CASE WIN
 A VICTORY.
Indictment Not Based on Good Legal Ground and the Grand Jury
 May Again Probe Into . Matter. s .. -.s

Judge Thomas G. Jones presiding over
 District of Alabama yesterday sustained
 the demurrers to the. indictment against | E. B. Young of Eufaula, charging mak- i ing false entries in the books of the bank
 rupt Eufaula National Bank. | Unless new indictment Is found by the federal grand jury Young is free of | any criminal charge.
 Young was cashier of the Eufaula Na- | tional Bank at the time of its failure in
 1901. When the federal grand jury met | an indictment of, forty-six counts was found against him charging making | fraudulent entries In the books of the bank, embezzlement and failure to make
 correct reports to the Comptroller of Currency.
 The case first came up for trial about
 year ago, when the District Attorney was ordered to elect which one of the
 three different kinds of charges the case should be tried on. The charge of mak- ing false entries fin the bank books was | selected and all counts except twelve | were struck. The case was again called several weeks ago. At that time, counsel for the de-
 fense demurred to the indictment on the ground that the indictment did not show
 that the entry was false, in that 1t did
 not negative the fact that the items re-
 ferred to in the entries, were not received
 by the cashier in due course of the bank s
 business: and if so, 1t was not false in
 the meaning of the banking laws. Another
 ground was that. the indictment was de-
 fective because 1t did not give the facts
 showing how the paper taken was value-
 less and fraudulent,
 The demurrers were argued at length, | and submitted some days ago. The court
 said 1t would pass the case, and decide on 1 the demurrers during the term. The stenographer had not finished copy Ing Judge Jones's opinion yesterday even
