FILED
BY MULCREvY

County Clerk Mulcrevy submitted
yesterday to Mayor Schmitz and the
Board of Supervisors a financial re-
port of his Office for the first half of
the present fiscal year, from July to
December, 1905, inclusive. The report
shows an excess of receipts over ex-
penditures for every month of the
period, which is the first time in its
history that the department has ever
more than paid its own running ex-
penses.
The total receipts during the last
six months of 1906 were $51 1880, and
the total expenses s3S,2999S. the ex-
cess of receipts being $1S,619.S2. In
an estimate of receipts and expenses
for the remaining half of the year,
County Clerk Mulcrevy expects $50, 900
in receipts from the general depart
ments and a like amount from the
-quieting department, based on
fees to be received from the filing
of suits under the McEnerney act to
restore title to property for which the
records were destroyed. He figures
on a total expense for this period OF
$4,000 which would leave balance
for the half-year of $4,000.
Mulcrevy's estimate of the amount
to be derived from the filing of title
suits is borne out by the rapidity
with which suits are now being filed.
Yesterday was, with one exception,
the heaviest day that the Office has
had in this direction, twenty-on title
suits being entered. On January 5
eighty-six title suits were filed, but
seventy five of these were filed by one
company AS yet none of the big
banks have filed their suits. and these
filings will increase enormously the
number and the revenue to be de-
rived by the city.

LEXINGTON. KY. May 11.-Attorney
Beverly Jouett. in his opening state
ment before the jury here to- day. in the
case OF Judge James Hargls. charged
with the murder of James Cockrill. at
jackson, made the sensational state
ment that he would prove that Hargis
had said that lie would not kill Cock
'rill himself. but that he would help
defend the man who would kill him.
Jouett said he would prove that
Judge Hargs and ED. Callahan paid
Curt lett. John Smith and John ABB
ncr to do the killing.
Jouett referred to a newspaper in
terview with Hargis in this city five
days after the murder. when Hargis
said
"Cockrill was bad man. ] am glad
he Is killed, and as county judge will
take no steps to find out his MUIR
dcrer'
Jouett denied that feud feeling had
resulted in the Cockrill killing, and
said that Hargis had Cockrill killed
because Cockrll stood in the way Of
Hargis's ambitions. .louett's statements
caused a sensation, as this is the first
time these direct charges have been
made,
