many of these Americans coming to

FALSE PRETENSES
Are the Indictments by the Grand
Jury Against ii. NJ. Severance, w.
j. Hurst and Others.

There are indictments against H
NJ. Severance and w. J. Hurst, con-
tractors, and Morris Waldrop and
E. L. Hancock, carpenters, who are
charged with obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. Severance and
Hurst were released on bond. 1t is
believed that Waldrop and Hancock
are in Oklahoma.
1t is claimed that the accused,
who had contracted with the city to
complete the grand stand at the
Fair grounds, received $1,000 in eX-
cess of the amount due them by
overcharging for cement and ma
terial and on padded pay rolls.
This allegation is based on the
statement of the Inspector of the
bonding company, who refused to
accept the returns of these con-
tractors.
In his defense Mr.. Severance has
announced that he has all his re-
ceipts for all material received and
used by him, which will be pro-
duced when the case is called for
trial.

THE MAYORS STATEMENT
In Connection With the Contract for
the GrandStand.

Mayor Eastman has given to ths
press the following statement il
connection with the grandstand a
the Fair grounds:
'Mr. Jones, who had the contract
for the building of the grandstand
went into bankruptcy a very shor
time before the date of the opening
of the Fair. 1t then became neces-
sary under the city's contract with
Jones for the city to employ some
one to complete the building at the
expense of Jones and his bondsmen
Mr.. Hurst had done some work be-
fore for the city at the Fair grounds
and was considered a skilled work
man, and was recommended as a
man who could rush the job
through in time for the Fair. His
selection was agreeable to the Fair
Association and the local represen-
tative of the bond company.
"As the time was limited, it was
necessary to work day and night
shifts, which all recognized would
increase the cost of the work. Mr..
Hurst was employed for a fixed
compensation to finish the building.

and employing the necessary labor.
The bills for same, to be paid by the
City on his approval. Under this
employment he purchased the ma
terials, employed the laborers and
approved the bills, which were then
paid by the city.
when the building was complet-
ed, statement of the costs was
presented to the bond company with
request that they reimburse the
city. The bond company, as is their
custom, sent an expert here, who
checked up the bills, had estimates
made of the necessary materials,
and advised the council that the
city had been charged for large
amount of cement that could not
have been used in the work. He also
objected to some. of the pay rolls.
and specifically to the wages paid
Moldrup and Hancock, stating that
it was a physical impossibility for
them to have worked daily the
hour credited to them.
'Thereupon the city began thor
ough investigation Of the pay rolls
and bills for materials furnished,
and the indictments returned by the
Grand Jury are the result"

HABEAS CORPUS.
Miller Joseph Released From the
Parish Farm.

Miller Joseph has been released
from the CaddO Parish Farm where
he was serving a sentence of six
months for violation of the prOhi-
ton law. Miller Joseph is one OF
several offenders who have been
convicted of selling booze. He was
tried and convicted before a tech
nical defect had been discovered in
the affidavit under which he was
arrested, tried and convicted. From
this technical defect several of the
accused were discharged from Gus
tOdy, but were re-arreSted. Some
of these have been retired and
convicted and others are to be
called for trial.
The plea of habeas corpus was
entertained by Judge John R. Land,
as it should have been. There was
no reason to hold Miller Joseph,
who had been tried and convicted
on defective warrant, but his re-
lease relieves him of further prose-
cutiOn for an offense for which he
was convicted and penalHed to six
months on the Parish Farm and TO
pay a fine of $500.
