MARSHA DEFENSE SCORES
HARD AS LAWSUIT STARTS


the bill or particulars and the audit
made upon them by Frederick A. Til
ton, OF the Security Trust Co., and
Judge Sessions sustained this conten-
ton.
Tilton was called to the stand, but
before he started to testify, Attorney
Webster changed his mind and called
back DeWoody to testify on the con-
dition OF the ONCE when he made the
examination.
The line of questioning which Mr..
Webster started, called forth con-
tinued objections from Mr.. Geer, and
there was some heated wrangling be-
forced to call the attorneys down
three or four times.
Gentlemen" he said, "you must
not try this case as IL you were be-
fore a country justice OF the peace. II
Is not that kind of court"
DeWoody was finally allowed to
testify as to what he found, and stated
that there was no cash book covering
daily receipts and expenditures, and
that there was no book showing the
taxation Of fees in cases. He testified
that there were balances produced by
Mr.. Harsha which could not be oh
tanned from the books shown TO the
examiner. After he had spent some
time upon the examination, a diary
was produced which contained tn
| taxation OF fees in cases. He stated
that Harsha told him that IL was i'm
possible 70 get a balance on the fee
| accounts.
DeWoody was on the stand when
court took recess for luncheon.
In opening the case for the de-
Tense Attorney Geer stated that he
would claim that Harsha did not owe
the government a cent, and that even
! ii IL should be found that he did owe
anything, the government was
estopped from collecting, because IL
had made co>SNant examinations OF
the books and had passed them an
proper. The accounts we're shown TO
have gone through the hands OF the
district Judge, the encouragement and
the secretary Of the treasury for ap-

Harsha was appointed clerk OF the
court. June 8. 1882. and retired In
April. 1909. Attorney Donnelly, for
the bondsmen, raised the point that
his company could not be held re-
sponsible for any delinquencies IL such
should be found previous TO 1906 when
the last bond was issued.

SHOOTS UP FURNITURE
IN WIFE'S NEW HOME

The modern literature OF love, as

TO the attention of Frank Szalkowski,
81 No. SO Twenty-third-st., as he sat in
ais lonely home last Sunday, and
rooded upon the departure OF his
Aife, Mary. some weeks ago. Mary
rad packed her clothes and gone TO

still loved her much
All the talk about the Cave mans
sourtship and the moving picture por-
royals OF the same oozed through
franks receptive mind as he broodeo.
md he finally arose, grabbed up q re-
volyer and box of cartridges, and set
'orth to win Mary back by the
rimeval method that seems so popu.

The first that Mary knew about
franks mental processes was when
she looked up in surprise as be ma
jestically crossed the threshold Cf her

"Bz-Zing!" a bullet sang past her
head and then she heard the report OF
pistol. Another report, and a table
lamp crumpled up and died. Another,
and large mirror gave up the ghost
One long succession OF reports like
the rattle OF musketry on a battlefield,
and the furniture and glassware sway
ed and fell. For 20 minutes Frank
amused himself, while Mary held her
hands over her ears and watched in
terror. Everytime she started for the
door, Franks weapon weayed around
in her direction and she stopped an
watched the exhibition. Then Frank
walked out

At the time the opinion was first

which was in part as follows
can find no justification for

under any rule or rules OF the

Mr.. Marthdale was entitled 10
his salary as superintendent of

was elected and entered upon his

The minutes OF the Board of

things, disclose that Prof. Charles

know upon what ground the board
authorized the payment of his

IL is very doubtful II the board
has the power TO pay the salary
of any official for time when he
