Seek Action in Hurley Case.

seek Action IN hurley case.
That plans are being made to get
the legislature to take some action in
the Hurley case at the next session
either by abolishing Iron county or by
asking the legislature to impeach
Judge Thomas, was indicated when
Attorney General Frank L. Gilbert or
dered prepared two copies of the testi-
mony in the recent case. The judge
was acquitted of the charge of rent
ing his buildings for disorderly pur-
poses, but the testimony was so clear,
according to Judge Parish, that he de-
nounced the jury for its action. One
copy of the evidence will be laid be-
fore the governor and the other before
the legislature. 1t is quite probable
that the legislature will determine on
impeachment proceedings. The attor-
ney general was asked to take part in
the case by Gov. Davidson, after a
complaint had been made of condi-
tions in that city. Assistant Attorney
General Frank T. Tucker made an in
vestigation and a trial was held in the
circuit court. Several witnesses testi-
fed against the judge but the jury,
after being out nearly a day, found the
judge not guilty. The outcome of the
case was such a surprise to Judge
Parish that he scored the jury for so
deciding in the face of the testimony
and declared that the members of the
jury by the decision had become the
protectors of vice and prostitution. :"

DESERVED TO WIN HIS CASE.
Really Able Argument Put Forward
by Accused Sailor.

A very good story has recently been
told in the fleet of an incident which
happened when Admiral Evans was in
command of the Indiana. An old-time
bluejacket was at the mast before
Capt. Evans. charged with getting
food out of mess chest outside OF
meal hours. This getting of food for
night watches is common and strong
desire on the part of most men aboard
ship.
Capt Evans asked the man what he
had to say; and the man, sizing up
the delicate situation, said:
Captain, l didn't take no food outer
that chest. Why, captain, there
weren't no food in that chest! l
looked in that chest, and, captain,
met a coclIroach coming out of that
chest with tears in his eyes."-Har-

wide-Brimmed "Picture Effects"

That the mushroom has not as yet
been completely ousted is shown by
the charming picture hats developed
in tulle and malinette. The feature
which first attracts attention to them
ia the huge, almost overpowering,
crown of yards and yards of net,
Matted into a high, broad series of
puffs floating over velvet band de-
fining the inner edge Of the wide,
dropping brim WHICH is velyet-piped
and sometimes denied ut intervals.
Such hats as these bear a strong re-
semblance to those worn by the bellies
of Washington's period, and then, as
now. surrounding wondrous erections
of hair pads, curls and puffs.

Testimony AGAINST Story.


Testimony at the examination OF
Edwin C. Story, former cashier of the
Citizens State bank Of Belleville, on
the charge Of embezzling $4,000 OF
the banks money, tended to show that
a large part of the shortage was due
to over-drafts by Henry Elmer, a
cheese broker of Belleville. Elmer
was put on the stand. He said that
he did not overdraw his account for
any large amounts. For two years he
tried to get a settlement with the
bank, but Story put him off for one
reason or another, he declared. d.
Tectors w. II. Ferguson and John
Hosken of the closed bank testified
that the directors instructed Story not
to loan money to Elmer or to let him
become indebted to the bank in any
amount. w. F. Story of Chicago, a
brother of the accused man, testified
to having sold his half interest in a
warehouse at Belleville some months
ago to the prisoner for $3.50. The
state expects to show that some of the
missing money was used in this pur-
CHASE anu Ill COuuuCClHS IuS OuolhCoo
of the warehouse. A. F. Pither, audi
tor of the Merchants Loan and Trust
company of Chicago, testified regard
ing the account of the Citizens state
bank with that institution. Milo C.
Hagen, one of the state bank exam
liners, who uncovered the alleged en-
bezzIement, was on the stand testify
e
books and affairs of the closed bank.
Story still shows the effects of the
poison which he took with suicidal in
tent after being accused of taking the
banks money.
