Judge w. w. Pearson Of the Fiji
teenth Judicial Circuit yesterday heard
arguments In the petition presented
by Hugh X. Watts VS.. the Montgom-
cry Light and Water Power Company.
In which the matter OF charging for
meter measurement OF gas was In
volved. taking the matter under adj
visement and instructing the attorneys
on both sides 70 submit briefs as
NOON as possible. It L. possible that
the decision Of Judge Pearson in the
matter win not be- made public for
several days
In his petition Mr.. watts set forth
the fact that the Montgomery Light
and Water Power Company would not
install gas connections In hia Perry
street residence with meter meas
iirement unless such meter MEASURE
ment was charged for. and further
that the charge for such connections
should not be less than 81 per month,
Tho petition showed that the Mont
Eomery Light and Water Power Com
pany was operating under charter
from the city council. whereby the
charges for gas were fxed at et.es
and si.62. and that nothing whatever
was said In the franchise. whereby a.
charge for meter measurement could
be made. 1t was set forth that the
consumer could demand meter meas
uroment. II he so desired.
In the argument yesterday attorneys
for the plaintiff showed that where
the franchise did not set forth tho
amount which should be charged for
gas. a charge for meter measurement.
and minimum charge per month.
could be made, but no caae waa'
shown whereby q charge FOR meter
measurement could make when the
price Of gas was set out in the fran
chise.
Judge Pearson then commanded that
attorneys for both sides file brfefs in
the case. and until such time HIS de-
cisiou would not be announced.

were principally army oficers VINO
had been stasapned, at Fort Hamilton
and Fort Hancock during June. July
and August, 1908. and had met and
talked with Captain Hams at that
time,
Their testimony tended to contro-
vert that OF the army witnesses for
the defense in that they all said Cap
tain Hams spoke and acted nationally
a short time before the shooting on
August is last. when the defense con-
tends he was suffering from maniac
Oppressive insanity" The weight or
the army ofiicers Testimony as to the
nationality was partly counterbalanced
by their admissions under cross-ex-
animation that Captain Hains had
acted In nervous and excited man
ner and looked pale and worried.
John r. McInfyre. chief counsel for
the. defense. created stir in court
by questining the army officers as to
what military authorization they had
for appearing an witnesses against
Captain Hams. He brought out the
fact that Captain Henry w. Torney,
of Fort Hancock. had an order signed
by Col. Heistand, adjutant general OF
the department OF the east. directing
him to appear at the trial. Mr.. Nc
Intyre endeavored to show that other
officers had received the same orders
from Colonel Heistand and asked Cap
tain Torhey II he aid not know that

and the Hams family.

answer bat II was evident that the

that there was feeling against Captain
Hams In certain army circless
