It seems that two of the counts
in the informations were to be
dropped and Harris tried on the re-
naming counts. 1t now appears that
there was an error made in the num-
berihg of the counts and that Har-
ris was tried and found guilty of the
counts that were dropped, and the
district attorney did not notice the
error until after the trial was over
and verdict rendered.
Unless the court can allow per-
mission to correct the errors made
there is a strong probability that
the charges against Harris will be
annuled and he be set free.
Harris is in the county Jail. He
declares he is innocent of any wrong
doing and that he is no more to
blame for any criminal Irregularities

were present Mr. Reams was unable
to be in attendance but he was rep

tered an appearance for him.
The defense waived arraignment

Attorney Brown informed the court
that the defense had no evidence what
ever to offer and declined to ask Rev

What did you say your business

Rev. Becker replied. Il am a clergy
man.
Then Attorney Brown asked. And

Rev. Becker, 81 did"
That ended the examination.
The defense having offered no evi-
dence and the prosecution not finding
it necessary to introduce any wit
nesses other than Rev Becker. the
hearing was soon over. City Attorney
Rozelle addressed the court, saying
that he had certainly made out case
against each of the saloon men and
insisted on a conviction under the or

Rozelle.
Attorney Brown simply declared
that the saloon men professed their
innocence
Judge Hin then announced that he
would take the case under advisement
until ten o'clock Saturday morning
when he will render his decision.
The action of the defense in plead
ing not gl..ty and th an making no
fight in the police court was a sur

saloon men expect to be fined in the
police court and will then take an
appeal to the county court.
