raised.

McCracken county can repair and
strengthen the county jail this year
30 that II will be safe, and In four
years build practically a new jail
from the old structure. This plan
will be presented to the magistrates
next Tuesday when the June meeting
of the fiscal court will be held, and
the question of Strengthening the
present fail walls will be taken up.
The magistrates realize seriously
that the county must take some steps
to repair the jail or else build new
one. Owing TO the condition OF the
county treasury the magistrates will
be forced to be ms economical as
possible In the eNpend 'ture.
The plan OF lining the interior OF
the Jail with sheet iron Is rejected
by some OF the magistrates because
of the weak walls and the fact that
more room Is needed to accommodate
the prisoners. Also Il is claimed
that the steel lining would make the
jail excessively warm

minlstration in me 4 maining three

Magistrate Emery. "The roof would

"Next year a row Of modern steel

ton would permit The erection of
the walls will cost few thousand

years the county could have a new

Some Of the other magistrates fav-
or an entire new jail building with a
change OF location. The court house
lawn il one of the most attractive
spots In the city. and by removing
the county prison II could be made
even more attractive. Anyway, the
fail problem will DE- a knotty one for
the magistrates next Tuesday. and a

Former McCracken County
Court Clerk Returns to
hil
Testify.
Has Taken Treatment fer the
Drug Habit.
WILL BE KEEPER OF THE TOOLS

In excellent spirits and looking
much better in health, Hiram Smed-
icy, former county court clerk, ar
rived In Paducah this morning to
testify In the suit of the McCracken
county against Hiram Smedley and
his surety, the Title Guaranty and
Surety company. He testified in cir
cult court this morning. and rerutned
to the penitentiary this afternoon.
The suit was filed by the county
for the purpose of collecting $64S. 10
due the county by reason of the pee
ulations OF Smedley while in Office.
The case is tedious. and dragged dur
ing the greater part of the morning.
The county warrants forged and
cashed by Smedley were introduced
az evidence. This afternoon was oc-
cupied in hearing the evidence, and
II is thought the trial will not be fin
ished until late this afternoon or to-
morrow.
This morning Mr.. Smedley was
placed on the witness stand but said
he remembered nothing of the forg-
ing. He said the signatures were in
his handwriting. and thai he filed
out the warrants. On taking the
stand he said: 81 am going to tell
the truth about this matter. so that
justice may be done everybody.
During the time that these warrants
were issued was so full OF morphine
and drugs that | remember nothing
about them"
Mr. Smedley stated that he had
been out of the hospital only a short
time, and had not been assigned TO
any duties, because the physicians
were giving him an opportunity to
recuperate. When he reached the
penitentlary he said he was given
treatment for the drug habit, and
was sick for several weeks. In a
short time he said he would be given
charge of the tools, and keep a rec
ord of every tool that was handed
out to the convicts.
He spoke cheerfully of the treat
ment given him at the penitentiary.
He said the prison is not as bad Ias
he had conceived 1t. and was sorry
he had remained in jail SO long. hesi-l
Eating to go to the penitentiary His
general appearance convinced the
hearers that he Is In much beU>-
physical condition. Since being
leased from the hospital he -
gained twelve pounds in weight His
color is better and he has lost that
CLASSY stare from his eyes.
