Nj CARBON CASE ENDS.
Charge of Forgery Appeared to Con-
tain Some Flaws.

The case of p. w. McCarrOn, charged
with forgery, was called in the district
court Wednesday afternoon and has Oc-
cupied the attention of the district court
since 1t is charged that McCarron
forged the signatures of Sawyer Bros
and e. e. Sawyer to a note for 1881 which
was afterwards disposed of to the Bank
of Topeka. In 1903 Sawyer Bros pur-
chased "a bunch of cattle of McCarron
and gave in payment a note for 1851 At
the time they gave the note they made a
mistake in the date of the note making
II 1904 instead of 1903, as it should have
been The mistake was discovered at the
time and another note was made out
and the Old note was not destroyed. Nc
Carron testified that the SaWyers care
iessly left the note in his possession and
that when he became pressed for money
ne took the note which had been made
out by mistake to the Bank of Topeka
and sold it.
The signatures to the two notes seem to
have been made by the same hand, and
the instruction of Judge Dana was to this
effect The jury was instructed that if
they found that the signature was gen
ulue as claimed by the defendant that
while he may be guilty of some other
charge that he is not guilty of forgery as
charged.
The claim was also made and substan-
uated by the defendant that the crime If
any was committed, occurred in Wa
baunsee and nor Shawnee county, and for
this reason that the district court of this
took the same view of the case and in
structed the jury to that effect, further
/ insTructlng them that they must find the
defendant not guilty unless they found
( that the forged paper was in the posses
sion of the defendant.
The case was given to the jury at about
the noon hour today

ANOTHER GLORIOUS DAY.
And, Think of It, Warmer Weather
Promised for Tomorrow.

The sun appeared at about the
usual hour this morning, a great
crimson disk set in mass Of dark
clouds which might have been taken
to indicate anything. A dyspeptic could
could have seen storms. Billiards and
most any kind of disaster behind the
bank of clouds, while an optinist could
have looked farther beyond and seen
the conditions which since then have
developed a perfect day.
Today's minimum was reached at
o'clock this morning after the sun
had been working for some time. and
at that hour was 26 above zero, which
does very we'll for a winter morning
