tai condition would be taken into
consideration at the trial. He said
III they failed to establish a defense
they would show that he was mental
ly unbalanced at the time.
AS It was after o'clock when the
jury was secured, and. owing to the
fact that the court officials were
worn out, Judge Reed decided not
to begin the evidence until this
morning. Several of the attorneys
were busy also. and the jurors were
permitted to return to their homes.
Previous to the calling of the jury
the attorneys for the defense
through formality offered a special
plea against the jurisdiction of the
judge, and it was oyerruled.
The attorneys for the defense OBJ
jected to the indictment, alleging ii
was not explicit. They said that
the persons who paid the $3.50 were
not mentioned, and they did not
know whether it was for license or
back taxes. and were unable to plan
a defense. They said il did not point
out where the money came from,
and that Ii was to be turned over
to the state auditor, but that he
simply colleced and received it. 1t
was alleged that the prosecution had
failed to follow the statute in draw
ing the indictment.
Attorneys for the defense read
section 1905 of the Kentucky sta
tutes, under which the indictment
was drawn. showing that Smedley
was to hold the money in trust and
deliver il to the state auditors
charge. Judge Reed overruled the
demurrer to the indictment, and the
drawing of the jury was entered
into.
