CHARGE OF FILING FoRGERiES

A motion by R. c. Noleman, attor-
ney for Mrs. Gertrude briggs, to dis
miss the complaint in which his client
is charged with filing forged deeds to
property belonging to the late John
Charnock, was denied by Judge Willis
yesterday and the case was continued
to May 10, at which time Mrs. briggs
will enter her plea to the charge.
Attorney Noleman was successful in
having bail heretofore fixed at $4,000
reduced to $4,000, but Mrs. briggs was
unable to furnish this amount and is
still in iail.

neys, Chester Smith and c. C. Card
well, asked Judge Conrey to dismiss
the complaint because the appellations
said to have been used by their client
were not in the language in which they
were spoken.
Attorney Hutchinson was given until
o'clock to amend his complaint, but 1t
was half hour later when he ap-
peared in court with the corrected pa
per in his hand.
Crippled Typewriter
81 had difficulty in finding a type
writer with enough characters to word
the complaint properly" he explained.
The first two paragraphs of the docu-
ment were generously interspersed
with such expressions as "Bugiardo in
female" "Ladro," "Scellerato ribaldo
infame," etc, but the last part of the
paper was still written in English and
the objections of Arconti's counsel to
its introduction were sustained and the
case was dismissed.
