City and County Attorney Cathcart
this morning declared that the propo-
sition of unsupported accusation
against public officers was becoming
sickening, intimating that it was a
reprehensible game. 1t was easy
enough to accuse; if there were any
chance of proof it might be different,
but If any newspaper had any infor-
nation that was worthy of being
brought before the grand jury for in
vestigation of alleged wrong in the
police department or elsewhere, why
in the name of common decency and
justice did that newspaper not bring
out the charges and drop unfounded
insinuation?
IT see in the papers" said City At
torney Cathcart, references to GER
tain alleged charges of gambling and
graft which are to be brought before
the grand jury for investigation in
regard to certain members of the po-
lice department, with the intimation
that this Office is acting with hostil-
ity toward Jarrett, the Sheriff.
Nothing has been called to my at
tention or to the attention of any
member of my department, so far as
I know, rejecting on Mr.. Jarrett, nor
anything relative to gambling that
would warrant my calling the atten-
ton of the grand jury to it.

no distinction between peppery and
oily tempers
In rebuttal the prosecution first
called Miss Clark, stenographer, who
however was not allowed to read her
notes of an inquisitorial examination
of Mort after his arrest. She recol-
lected surely that Mort did not say
he was insulted by Sheba but when
she gave out a recollection to the
effect that he spoke of having been
provoked Mr.. Cathcart wanted her to
show from her actual notes just how
Mort had intimated provocation. An
objection was sustained.
Ralph A. Kearns, stenographer,
testified from memory of what Mort
said under examination at police
headquarters, and was not prevented
from denying that anything pertain
ing to insult was mentioned by Mort
among his reasons for attacking She
ba.
