BOB DAVIS'S REPUTATION
Alleged to Be So Bad As to Have Pre-
 judiced Grand Jurors.

Counsel for M. B. Davis, better known as Bob Davis, moved in the Superior Court this week that the in dictments for assault with a deadly weapon and setting fire to the Calexl. co jail be dismissed, on the ground that the grand jury was prejudiced against Davis. In support of the mo- tion, counsel called tho grand jurors and examined them as to their state of mind when they found the indict- mentS.
 The line of examination gave the impression that MT. DavIss attorney could not conceive such a thing as that any citizen of Imperial county was so ignorant 5of hrs clients repu- tation that he would not believe him guilty of any crime without waiting to hear evidence. A grand juror would deny that he ever had heard enough evil of Davis to be biased in judgment, and the attorney would persist: "now haven't you heard and read in the papers that Davis is bad man, an undesirable citizen, and didn't you be- lieye what you heard?"
 It was impossible to find juror who had not heard things of that sort about Davis, but not one would admit that Davis was indicted on his reputa- tion, or that he was so prejudiced against the defendant as to believe him guilty of trying to shoot up Calex- ico and burn his way out of jail be- fore hearing any testimony to the effect that he had actually made those breaks.
 One of the grand jurors, after leav- ing the stand said; q had not heard of Davis's Calexico fracas at all until

HEATLEY ACQUITTED
AIibi Story Too We'll Constructed to
 Be Disproved.

The trial of James Heatley on a charge of perjury, in the Superior Court, resulted this week in a verdict of acquittal
 The charge grew out of liquor case in which Heatley was defendant, it being alleged that Heatley and two of his witnesses swore falsely in es- tablishing an alibi Complaining wit nesses had testified that they bought liquor of Heatley in his blind pig" and Heatley swore that he was not in the place on that day. In the per jury case Heatley introduced testi- mony in support of the aIibi, and the witnesses told stories that dove-tailed perfectly and obliged the jury to choose between believing them and be- lieving the original complainants. If there was perjury in the first trial, there was more of it in the second, but in order to establish a case of perjury beyond reasonable doubt, something more than mere contra diction of one witness by another is necessary.
 The jury evidently was not con- vinced beyond reasonable doubt that there might not have been a mistake in identification. The benefit of the doubt was given to Heatley. As the perjury indictments against two of Heatleys witnesses are based upon the same evidence, it is not probable that the cases will be Cried.

the evidence was put before us, and obviously could not have been pre- judiced in that matter. But if the theory of this examination is correct, all that man need do to be immune to the criminal law is to commit so many offences that every one must know him to be bad citizen If an evil reputation is to be a bar to ndict- ment, the worse man behaves the more certain he is to escape punish ment."
 The hearing of the motion to dis miss was continued to next week be- cause of the absence of some of the grand jurors.

A Great Undertaking..

To promote the building Of improved
roads in Colorado. Wyoming. Utah,
Montana, Idaho, New Mexico and Ari-
zons and make accessible the wonder
full natural scenery throughout the ter
ritory along the eastern base OF the
Rocky mountains the Rocky Mountain
Highway association has been incor-
porated at Denver by Gerald Hughes,
Harold Kountz and Charles A John
son. Membership In the organization
is open to any one interested IN the
good roads movement, and it is report
ed that already large number OF
prominent Colorado citizens have Sig
nItied their intention Of Joining. The
money for carrying out the plans or
the association will be derived through
private subscriptions and through state
and municipal aid. 1t is hoped that
through the efforts Of this association
there will eventually be constructed a
chain Of good roads Joining all points
Of interest throughout this section.

odorIess and Dustless Roads.

Consul T. H. Norton, writing to the
state department from Chemnitz, Ger
many, says that a SaNbn firm has in
troduced road binding composition
which has been tried on the macadam-
ized streets of Leipzig and other places
with much success. The material Is
thus described:
1t is a mix ture Of the heavier resid-
ual oils obtained in the distillatiop OF
coal tar with high boiling hydrocar-
bons. The method Of mixing apparent
" involves certain degree Of chem
ical com bination, in which phenol and
similar constituents play role. The
manufactured material is prepared for
use by heating in iron caldrons, iden-
teal with those used fol, asphalt. to
temperatures ranging from 212 to. 24S
degrees f. 200 to 12o CO.. 1t is then
sprayed evenly over the sur face of a
roadway with a special form of ap-
paratus and under such high pressure
that the fluid mass penetrates to GER
tain distance into the upper layer of
dust or dirt. The result is the forma-
ton Of q compact lustrous black coat
ing which meets the demands Of heavy
traffic and Is not disintegrated into
dust particles. A marked advantage Of
the new process over the methods hith-
erto employed for the same purpose
and based upon the use Of ordinary
tar Is the total absence Of odor after
the application.
