new JURY TO TAKE
UP TOMALTY CASE
Indictment Against Former City
Book Keeper Quashed by
Judge Lawlor
Demurrer Sustained on Ground
That Allegations Are Not
Properly Stated

The indictment against James c.
Tomalty. the former book keeper in the.
city treasury, charging him with falsi-.
flying a public record, was quashed by
Judge Lawlor yesterday. In an oral
decision the court sustained a demurrer
raised by Attorneys Stephen V. Costello
and Herbert Choynskr on behalf of the
defendant and ordered the case sub
mitted to another grand jury.
Two naws We're found in the indict-
ment by the judge-frst it's uncer-
tainty and second, the fact that it
charges two separate offenses namely
Justification of public record and
false entry in public account. Judge
Lawlor has had the demurrer under
submission for several weeks Some of
the points raised by Choynski' and Cos
telio were not decided by the court
yesterday. Among these was the con-
tention that Tomalty was not a public
ofncer, as charged, and that the gen
eral ledger in which he is alleged to
have made the alteration is not pub
lie record.
Although the indictment has been
upset, Judget Lawlor refused TO exon
crate Tomalty's bail. He is held on
bonds for $4,000.
Tomalty was charged with altering
and falsifying the general ledger of
the treasurer's Office on April 16, 1906
so as to make IL appear that $5,605 had
been withdrawn from the police court
bail money special fund instead of only
s605.
Too much was left to inference and
not enough was directly charged said
Judge Lawlor in sustaining the de-
murrer. - In the face of a special de-
murrer alleging uncertainty he could
not sustain the Indictment The Judge
pointed out 1t was not directly charged
but left for the reader to gather, which
20 Tomalty had written in.
Two offenses could not be charged in
one indictment, the court said and yet
in this bill Tomalty was alleged both
TO have falsified a public record and to
| have made a false entry IN a public
account
Assistant District Attorney O'Gara
took an exception to the ruling. The
case can not be submitted to another
grand jury for more than week at
least. Judge Cabaniss has intimated
that he will start impaneling a new
grand jury next Saturday, but it will
not be until some time during the fol-
| lowing week that the inquisitorial
body will be ready to transact public
business.

Criticism Repaid Author.

Bjornsen, the great Norwegian
writer, who is reported to be serious
ly i'll, once told an interviewer that
when his first book was published not
one of his friends could be prevailed
upon to read it. At length a fellow
student, whose opinion the young au-
thor valued highly, was persuaded to
attack the book on being promised a
bottle of punch. In fulfillment of this
promise, he climbed one afternoon UP
to Bjornsens attic, filled long pipe,
undressed to his singlet, for it was
very hot, flung himself on the bed,
and began to read, with the punch by
his side. Bjornsen sat on the sole,
hungry for praise, but not a word
dropped from his friends lips until
the pipe, the bottle, and the book
were finished, when he arose, dressed
and took his departure, remarking as
he went, THAT is the best book j
ever read in my life" Then Bjorn
sen felt that his punch had not beer
wasted.

JACKSON, Miss. September TO-
Governor Noel is very much interest
ed in the proposition Of Col H. M.
Street relative to the advisability of
having on the statute books a specific
law by which the tendency to resort
to the insanity plea in grave and SER
iOus crimes. especially homicides, can
be effectually checked. The governor
believes with Speaker Street that the
time is at hand for the measure, and
the idea Of having Commission of ply
sicians of known skill and experience
TO pass on the mental cindition of MUIR
derers in whose behalf the allegation
of insanity and therefore irresponsi-
bility, Is presented and argued, is one
to which he has given much attention.
He considers the matter of such press
ing Importance that he would have no
hesitation in calling it specifically to
the attention of the legislature, along
with other suggestions relative to law
administrative reforms which have
been urged by the bar associations of

NATCHEz CAPITAL
IN LOUISIANA OIL

NATCHEZ, Miss, September TO-
DR.. Cullenden, who visited the Sicily
Island oil field near Florence, La,
has secured leases on several hun
bred acres of land with the intention
of boring for oil and natural gas. He
is DESTROYS of securing 1000 acres.
This land was held under lease by
the Catahoula Development Company,
whose borer some three years ago
struck gusher, but was unable to
make any further progress on account
of exhausted finances. Cullenden saw
the gusher, secured samples of the
land, but said nothing at the time and
when the company's lease on the land
expired, obtained leases for himself.
No date for a resumption of the work
has been given. DR.. Cullenden is an
expert oil man. Mr.. Smell, of Smell
& Harper, oil mill borers, who drilled
the oil well in Sicily Island, said at
the time it looked to be one of the
