WORKS BOARD IS
HEARD BY Jury
City Engineer and Accountant
Also in Water Department
Deficit Probe.

The December grand jury yesterday
quarter-million dollar deficit that ex-
lists in the water department. The
FIVE members of the Board of Works,
City Engineer Morris r. Sherrerd and
William e. Allah. the expert who
conducted the audit of the depart
mept for Price, Waterhouse G. Co.,
Of New York, were called before the
juEy and questioned.
Mr.. Allen read the report of his
audit, explaining it in detail. He
was before the jury for thirty-five
minutes. Then Harry B. O'Connell,
president of the Board of Works,
was called. He was followed by Com
missoners William Mungle. P. H.
Ryan, A. r. Denman and Charles F.
Kraemer and by Mr.. Sherrerd.
The members of the board declined
to answer questions regarding their
session with the grand inquest
Messrs. Mungle, Ryan. O'Connell and
Kraemer were before the jury less
than ten minutes each, but City En-
gireer Sherrerd and Mr.. Denman,
who is chairman of the water COM
/. mittee, were in the jury room more
Ihan half hour each.
1t is understood that the jurymen
and Prosecutor Mott questioned Mr.
Sherrerd and Commissioner Dem
man with a view to learning whether
the shortage in the department was
actual or whether it was-merely ap-
parent and due to obsolete methods
of keeping the accounts.
Henry D. Northrup, cashier of the
department, contrary to expectations,
was not called yesterday. He will
probably come before the jury at a
later date.

Columbia, Miss, Dec. 23.-After hav-
ing overruled the motion for a new
trial in the case of Fred Toney, charged

six miles north of Columbia last June.
Judge A. e. Weathersby Saturday pro-
nounced the death sentence on Toney
and fixed Friday, Jan. "a, as the day
of execution. The testimony showed
that, while Harvey and one of his

ahead of Harvey and fired on him.
Death resulted instantly.
This will be the first legal execu-
ton in Marion county in fifty-two
years.
