The charge that the judge used his
office corruptly or improperly to bring
about the sale of the Everhardt coal
lands to the Lehigh Valley road or Lee
high Valley coal company was claimed
to be vague and it's aInuIlment was
asked.

with w. w. RiSinger by endorsing a
note for $500. Risinger is part owner

HE COMES in HANDY.
The Thirteenth Juror Takes His Place
at barrow Trial.

Los Angeles, Judy 29.-Dr. Isaac
Salin, Juror Leavitt's family physician,
was placed on the witness stand when
the trial of Clarence barrow was re-
sumed today, and testified an opera
ton was necessary and that it would
be at least six weeks before Leavitt
could appear in court. DR.. Wernigk
gave similar evidence.
Judge Hutton then issued the order
discharging Leavitt and installing
Blakesley as a regular member of the
jury.
A record crowd sought admission to
the court room today because of the
expected appearance of the defendant
on the witness stand.
Chief Counsel Earl Rogers of the
defense announced that before Mr..
Darrow took the stand he would move
that all letters, mem oranda or docr-
ments purporting to be in Darrow' s
handwriting, flow1in possession of the
prosecution, be turned over to the de-
Tense. He said he understood that
such papers were in the hands of the
district attorney and according to law
he was entitled to them. He included
in this motion any papers purported as
coming from Darrow or in any way
connected with the case.
1t was learned that the defense had
in view particularly the transcript of
the testimony before the grand jury
of Tveitmoe. the San Francisco labor
leader. The prosecution resisted the eff
fort to secure the notes of Tveitmoe's
testimony and a heated argument was
begun. 1t developed during the argu-
ment by Attorney Rogers that Tveitmoe
declined to take the stand for the OAR
row defense on the advice of his at
torneys because of the desire to pro-
tect his personal rights in the cases
in which he is involved. Tveitmoe is
f11-
lis in the socalled dynamite conspiracy
Rogers declared that Tveitmoe and
counsel Bert SchIessinger,+ charged that
the federal officials were backing the
district attorneys plans for a rigid
cross-examination- of Tveitmoe and that
if the latter took the stand he will be
examined by the prosecution for the
benefit of Oscar Lawler, the special
government prosecutor in the dynamite
cases.

Husband Is Arraigned.

Atlanta, July 29.-Daisie Opie
Grace was placed on trial here to-
day accused of having attempted to
kill her husband last March. Mrs.
Grace appeared in the court room
early and after the charge against
her had been read, pleaded not guilty.
She appeared cool under the gaze of
spectators. The jury was quickly
chosen, after which Grace was car
ried into the court room.
Mrs. Grace was worked up to such
a pitch of excitement that a trained
nurse administered hypodermic.
Mrs. Grace looked frequently at her
husband, but finally hitched her chair
about so that one of her attorneys
obscured her view.
After quiet was restored the prose-
cutor called the first witness for the
state, Policeman r. A. Wood, who
went to the Grace home on the morn
ing of the shooting.

Those in WiIliamsport.-

The county commissioners received
protest this morning from S. c. Waters,
rural carrier on route 20, who says some
of the roads in Williamsport township
are in bad shape, and he invites the
county board if the members do not
believe his story, to pay visit to the
territory and inspect them.
Waters says that F. A Pratt, town

that the only work done is spasmodfc

is supplementary to a petition signed
