looking little steamer lying at the outer

that the sensational mystery surrounding
the finding OF his client bound gagged
and unconscious In public bathroom at
the Wellington hotel last winter will be
cleared up. Judge Brentanos court room
was crowded with women when the trial
began.
The girl OF mystery was brought in under
the guard of a negro deputy sheriff. She
was dressed in a white suit and appeared
perfectly recovered from her long hospital
experience.
The work OF selecting a jury was begun
once and Miss Gingles took an active

of the case, saying that two pieces

underlying motives and dark byways OF
the case was made. Four jurors were Sc

ASSESSMENTS ARE REDUCED
Equalization Board Has About Con
cluded Its Labors.
MANY MORE CUTS THAN RAISES
Hayden Bros. Have S1OS,OOO Cut
from Their Assessment, and Many
Others Make Successful Pleas
for Reductions.

After several weeks of wrangung with
property owners over their assessments
the county board OF equalization has con-
cluded it's scheduled business and ad-
journed. Nearly 500 claims were heard
most of them concerning personal prop
erty, as real estate cases were not taken
up unless absolutely necessary. The biggest
reduction made was upon the assessment
of Hayden Bros, which was cut to $292 700
from $4OO, 600. Another big change was in
the case of Mrs. Mary E. McMenemy, who
was at first taxed upon $l6,95O, but upon
showing that an assessment transferred
from Washington county was no longer
valid, her property was valued at $780, The
last case considered was the protest Of
II. p. Leavitt, representing the Continental
Trust company, whose assessment the
board raised from $500 to $500. Mr..
Leavitt asserts that the securities upon
which taxes are being levied are owned by
clients Of the trust company and not by
the company itself The matter will prob
ably be considered.
The board which consisted of members
Bruning, Trainor, Bedford Pickard and
Kennard of the county commissioners,
County Clerk Haverly and County AS
SCISSOR Shriver, with Mr.. Trainor as chair
man, will not dissolve organization, but
will meet again next Saturday to consider
emergency cases and hold together until
about August /, when final reports will
be received from the state board.
f Many Reductions.
The following is a list of the biggest
changes that were made by the board at
the solicitation of the property owners;
