as u surprise.
The fourth indictment against
Peter Sandberg, in which he Is
charged with maintaining and con-
Iducting public nuisance, was the
basis for the trial of Sandberg IN
the superior court this morning,
the three previous indictments
having been quashed by Judge
Easterday.
Arguments for a non-suit we're
begun at 1880 this afternoon by
Attorney Peer for the defense.
1t is understood that the indict-
ment which caused the trial today,
was returned despite Prosecuting
Attorney McMurray's remon-
STRANGE. Mr.. McMurray stated TO
the grand jurors at the time. 1t u
said, that the charge would be a
livery difficult one to prove.
The states witnesses, by whom
1t was hoped to show that they
had either paid rentals to Sand
berg for houses In the restricted
district, or that he was directly
connected with the operation OF
the houses, failed utterly this
morning when called upon.
The Witnesses.
Those who testified today were
Councilman H. w. JAMESON,
Helen Anderson, Nellie Stewart,
j. B. Lynch and e. c. Miller. The
latter are county employees and
showed books and records of the
county. 1t developed that taxes
for the house In the district had
been paid under the name of the
Northwest Building Il Develop
ment company, said to be a ficti-
tious name.
Witnesses for the defense were
called this afternoon, and Attor-
lney Peer, representing Sandherg,
STATED that he would probaIbiy ask
to have the case dismissed for
lack of substantiat've evidence.
New Jury.
A new jury was drawn to hear
the case today. 1t is composed
of: Nugent Kautz. G. 8. Baker.

McCutcheon, A. o. Upright, Ed
Olson, I. A. Wright, G. A. Fisher,
L. l.. Doud, George Wood and r.
B. Miller.
Charges Dismissed.
Judge Easterday yesterday dis
missed one indictment against
Sandberg, stating that the charge
specified time more than a year
previous to the calling OF the
grand jury and that, by the statute
of limitation, the charge was void.
After a small amount of evil
dence had been taken in court yes
lterday afternoon on the second m
dictment, the attorneys ror Sand
berg asked for a non-suit, stating
that the state had failed utterly
| in proving the charge. The nom
lsuit was granted.
Third Charge Quelched Today.
This morning the third indict-
ment was voluntarily quashed. on
the recommendation OF Prosecut-
ing Attorney McMurray, who stat
led that he realized he could not
prove the charge. as the evidence
was similar to that in the other
cases.
The grand jury, according to
Prosecutor McMurray. made q
great mistake by indicting Sand
berg on charges that exactly con
Iflicted with each other. Three
indictments charged Sandbeng
with leasing his houses to persons
who managed them, and the
fourth charged him with conduct-
ing them himself. Sandberg, ac-
cording to the prosecutor, could
not lease the houses and operate
them at the same time "a
