WILL SENTENCE
FORGER TODAY
DR.. HOWELL CONVICTED OF
PASSING BAD CHECK
Physician First Makes Vigorous De.
Tense, but Finally Confesses
His Recollection Is Not
Clear

DIR. f. Howell, who was arrested last
Saturday charged with attempting to
obtain money on a fictitious check,
was adjudged guilty by Police Justice
Chambers yesterday morning and will
appear for sentence at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
DR.. Howell made stubborn defense,
but finally admitted that he had been
drinking when arrested and that his
recollection of his actions was hazy.
1t was shown during the trial that
Howell had been arrested on a sim
liar charge three years ago, found
guilty, bound over to the superior
court, but released on a plea of insan-
ity. After passing few months in
an asylum he was given his liberty.
According to the evidence, Howell
on Saturday afternoon visited several
grocery stores on Pasadena avenue,
and showing a check for $4S.50 and
stating that he had left his change at
home, asked the loan of a small sum
for carfare. The evidence showed that
he secured twenty-five cents in one
instance.
DIR. Howell produced several wit
nseses who testified to the previous
good character of the defendant. In
his own behalf the doctor stated that
he borrowed the money legitimately,
but admitted that he tore the check
into bits when arrested. When shown
the check he did not recollect whether
it was in his own handwriting. He
stated he did not remember having
the check. Justice Chambers found
him guilty and he will be sentenced
this afternoon.
H. e. Sutherland, who is alleged to
have been arrested on several occa-
sions and who was with Howell at the
time of the latter's arrest, was ar
raigned on charge of vagrancy. 1t
was shown that he had no connection
with the offense and he was dis
charged

LULL IN BUSINESS
OF COUNTY COURT
Decision Rendered This Morning
Throws Out Many cases-Hear-
ing Motion to ouash.

There was a kind of a lull created
in the business of the county court to
day on account of the decision of
Judge Frear this morning in the case
of Webb & Maddox. which affects
many liquor cases. This forenoon was
spent in hearing new motions to
quash. The attorneys for Marion Mad
dox in one case filed a motion to
quash certain information against him
on the ground that the informal
did not make the affidavit of his own
personal knowledge. Under the de
cision of the state court of criminal
appeals, an informant must make the
afidavits of his own personal know
ledge. A decision will be rendered in
this case tomorrow morning. This
decision will also affect a great many
cases now pending in the court.
The court ordered A. j. Michaels to
appear this afternoon for sentence on
a conviction at the last term of the
county court. This sentence however
was deferred two weeks.

DIRECTOR OF CENSUS
TENDERS RESIGNATION
By Associated Press.


Washington d. G., May 26-S. N. d
North, director of census, has tender
ed his resignation to President Taft
and it was accepted.
North's resignation is the result of
his recent controversy with Secretary
of Commerce and Labor, Nagel. North
held to the belief that the census
bureau was an Independent institution
and he was responsible only to the
president. A congressional enact
ment put the census bureau under the
department of commerce and labor,
however, and Secretary Nagel felt the
duties of the census bureau should be
subordinate to the cabinet officer in
charge of the department.

FREAR'S OPINION
ENDS INDICTMENT
Elaborate Decision Rendered in Case
of Indictment of Webb G.
Maddox.

Judge Frear, of the Craig county
court, in an elaborate opinion today
quashed the famous liquor cases that
have occupied the time of the court
for most of the present term. The
indictment under consideration bore
the impossible date of February 30,
1909.
Judge Frear stated parenthetically
that while indictments charging mis-
demeanors could only be returned by
a duly empaneled grand jury of the
district court, that offenders could be
brought into court by information at
any time. Such information, however,
must be made from actual knowledge
and it is up to the people to furnish
the information.
