the state. The hearing proceeded
slowly and only four witnesses hal
been examined when adjournment
was called at the noon hour.
Curry was apparently much at ease
in court. He chewed gum almost
continuously and occasionally smiled
at his wife who sat near him. Pre-
vious to the trial. the prisoner
laughed and joked with several young
lady relatives, who were keeping him
company in the witness room. In the
opposite corner of the room sat Mrs.
jackson and her daughter, Laura
Jackson, with tears streaming down
their cheeks.
AT 3 o'clock, Saturday afternoon
the fourth witness was still on the
stand. The hearing will not be com
pleted Saturday and adjournment

Pathetic Scene in the mayors
Court.
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Man Who Killed Jackson is
Arraigned.
Hearing of Testimony in Mayor'e
CouIt-Sherlff Drove Secretivs
About Curry's Keeping Place.

The preliminary hearing of II. r.
Curry slayer of j. w. G.. jackson,
who is charged with murder in the
first degree, was held before Mayor
Louis Scherff at 8 o'clock Saturday
morning.
Curry was taken from his cell in
the county Jail shortly before 8
O'Clock and was Immediately u.hered
to police headquarters. Sheriff E.
+. Drown acted as chief sleuth upon
the occasion and before leading the
prisoner from the CELL he summoned
the assistance of four deputies and
several police officers. After form
ing a solid phalanx around the Grim
inal, the sheriff finally consented to
the transfer of the prisoner.
"When did you bring Curry up
from Delaware?" queried a reporter
of the Sheriff.
'Well, he's here all right isn't he,
and | guess we fooled some of Them"
answered Sheriff Drown as he le:
loose of a giggle.
''It is all over now, cant you tell
us when you removed the prisoner"
asked another reporter.
HNO, that IS my business and If
you reporters think you can find out,
just try and see If you don't get
fooled responded the sheriff. At this
iunctme the reporters became dis
gusted and left the county official
hoasting to his friends on the sub
ject, Chow ! fooled the reporters. !"
The facts of the case are that Sher-
iff Drown had his deputy remove
Curry from the Delaware jail a week
ago. The reporter gained authentic
information to this effect, and II did
not come from Sheriff Drown either.
If this fact had been known to the
public, the sheriff believes that the
Marion county Jail would now be a
mass of ruins and detective Curry
would be hanging to a tree, hence,
the sheriff's reason for keeping the
matter secret. Sheriff browns rea-
sons for refusing to give out infor-
nation are not known.
At $3.50 o'clock Curry pleaded not
guilty to the charge of FIRST degree
murder which was brought in an
affidavit filed by Mrs. Sarah Jackson,
Wife of the murdered man. The
court then proceeded TO hold the
