JUDGE NESBITT TAKES The
MATTER UNDER AMUSEMENT

WHEELING, July 16.-Before Judge
Frank W. Nesbit Monday morning
Messrs. Caldwell, Handlan and Addle
man, representing Prosecuting Attor
ney schuck, appeared and demurred to
the allegations and charges contained
in the petition of James R. Meek, ask
ing for the removal of said prosecutor
upon the ground of gross minority
soliciting and accepting bribes, etc.
Mr.. ]. B. Wilson appeared for the pc
titiouer.
General Alfred Caldwell opened for
the defendant and presented q very
strong argument.
His main contention was that the
petition did not state the source from
which the information upon which the
charges we're based was obtained; 1t
did not specify the dates Of the occur
renee Of the acts mentioned or the
witnesses to the acts. These facts he
contended should be In the possession
Of the court before 1t could intellt'
gently act upon the charges. Mere
street rumors and unfounded asser'
tlous not borne out or supported by
credible witnesses would not be suti'
clent basis upon which to investigate
the integrity and conduct of an Off
cIaI.
The allegations should be Of sufi'
cIent weight to justify the court in
taking up the time Of the court in
bringing the accused to trial and gen
eral allegations did not constitute this
sufficient cause.
Mr.. Caldwell then took up the specl'
ficatlons in detail starting with num-
ber three, which declared the accused
has purchased intoxicating drinks at
the house Of one Sue Ingram, knowing
that she had no license to sell the
same. This allegation did not specify

New Manager
Of Circulation
MR.. r. E. HAR1wAY WILL HAVE
CHARGE OF THIS DEPARTMENT
OF THE WEST IReINIAN's susI.
NESS.

Mr.. R. E. Hardway, OF Newark, o.,
has accepted the position of circula'
ton manager for the West virginian
and has been very busy getting &C.
qualnted with his routes and installing
a complete system In the ONCE by
which he will be better able to keep
in touch with each individual subscrtb.
er, thus ihsuring better service.
While Mr.. Hardway is a young man,
still he has had considerable expert.
ence in this line of work and he
come well recommended to us by the
East Liverpool (o.) Review and Ian
caster (o.) Gazette, for which papers
he has worked In similar capacity.
Mr.. Hardway will be glad to listen
with an attentive ear to any COM
plants or any shortcomings of our de.
livery system and will exert his best
efforts to see that the best service is
rendered each Of our subscribers.
Owing to a vacancy in this depart
ment OF our service for several
weeks, no collections have been made
on circulation, but 1t will not be many
days before this matter will be taken
up and it is the earnest request of this
office that all the assistance possible
be given in the matter of collections.
The amount each individual may owe
on subscription is a very little matter
to the subscriber and matter OF
small moment to the Office, but when
the aggregate is taken in consideration
it means very much to the success or
failure OF newspaper.
We will ask that all subscribers will
respond on their subscription accounts
even before our collector comes
around. For instance, IL each of our
subscribers would remit the amount
of $1.OO on subscription at once. we
would have quite a tidy little sum
which would go a good ways towards
meeting the heavy demands on the
office for labor and supplies. Who will
be the first to start the good work
along?

SCHUCK DEMURS TO CHARGES AGAINST HIM

nesses,t therefore, requiring the court
to make a general. summonIng Of all
members of the Knights of Fidelity
in order to ascertain the truth of the
charges.
Specification No. IA, the most SER
Ious of the entire lot, which accused
the defendant of attempting to ravish
young woman at the BIjou theater
was also touched upon and the petit
toner asked to name date and witness.
Mr.. J. B. Wilson, representing the
petitioner, in his answer withdrew
specification No. IA, saying that when
the petition was filed the witness was
in the city, but since has left. The
petitioner, therefore. with permission
Of the court would withdraw this
charge. In respect to the demand OF
the defense for the names OF witnesses
and source OF information, Mr.. Wilson
stated that 1t was not necessary to
give the source Of infor m atinoIedn
give the source of information In de.
tall and cited in support Of his con.
tentlon the decision OF the supreme
court in the case Of Moore VS.. strIck-
len.
Mr.. ]. B. Handlan closed for the
defendant and answered particularly
the argument advanced by Mr.. Wilson
in the Moore,Strlcklen case suggesting
that the only point raised in that case
was whether the information showed
that the defendant was guilty of i'm.
moral conduct and not whether the
information in the allegation was or
was not sufficient to bring the &C.
cused to trial.
Judge Nesbitt, after hearing the ar.
guments took the matter under advise
ment and It is iutlmated that he may
hand down an opinion about Wednes-
day. While no positive or direct Inti-
nation was given by the court as to
the ultimate decision the opinion pre-.
walls that the court will require that
amendments be made to a number of
the specifications and more details be
presented to the court in support Of
the allegations.
