JAMES CASE DISMISSED.
The dismissal last week of the casa
of the State VS. William j, James puts
an end to controversy which has been
pending several years. James was con-
victed in the district court as the re-
suit of a very vigorous prosecution
and the case was reversed on appeal.
No doubt good reasons prompted toe
action of the district-attorney In re-
questing and the judge In granting
the dismissal In contemplation of law
William James enjoys the same pre-
sumption of innocence as If he had not
been charged with the offiense at
all. Certainly his long life IN the COM
munity and his good reputation en-
titles him to be regarded as an inno-
cent man. No doubt the dismissal WAS
fully justified and Mr.. James is re-
ceiving the hearty congratulations of
his many friends.
