pense fund is contemplated.
County Clerk Makes Report.
Following this injunction, Treasurer
Culberson contends that Lowry Arnold
as solicitor of the court under the SAL
airy act, should make a report of his
collections.
John Owen, head deputy sheriff,
maintains that the solicitor of the city
court is not a collecting officer and the
fees of the court should be included in

accounting forms.
Mr.. Culberson says that if this is the
case the sheriff should turn over the
collections to the court solicitor and
they should be reported through him to
the county Golfers.

ported s1,O76.15 as collections for the

PERJURER SAYS
HEFEARED TIGER
Liquor Case, in Which Witness
Admits He SWore Falsely,
Is Reopened.

Griff Freeman, of 374 West North
avenue, accused as a blind tiger, this
afternoon again will face trial in po-
lice court. following a spirited clash
yesterday afternoon between Recorder
Broyles and Attorney John w. Boykin
and the admission of G. Rogers, a ma
chinist, of 63 Tumlin street. that he
had sworn falsely because he feared
violence.
The case was reopened by the re-
corder when Rogers, who had been
locked up by order of the court to
await trial today for perjury, sent word
to him that he twas ready to tell the
whole truth and frankly confessed that
he had perjured himself in an effort to
clear Freeman.
Although Freeman already had been
given the limit-fined $500.75 and given
80 days, and bound over to the state
courts in bond of 81 ,00O-Judge Broyles.
in order to get Rogers testimony on
the record, determined on the second
trial
Court Brings on Clash.
Rogers previously had told detectives
that he had bought whisky from Free
man, but when called as a witness yes
terday afternoon, repudiated this state
ment in whole, even insisting he had
made no such admission to the officers.
1t was when Judge Broyles warned him
not to per1ure himself that Attorney
Boykin, counsel for Freeman, inter-
rupted
Your honor, insist that you should
not intimidate the Witness" he ex-
claimed with feeling.
We'll, | intend to get at the truth
of this matter rejoined the court. 81
won't sit quietly here and let a witness
swear deliberate lie and get off with
it,"
The attorney again took. issue with
the court, and another lively passage
at words ensued.
Witness Sticks to Story.
The witness remained unmoved-he
stuck to his story that Freeman was
innocent.
He then was locked up. As he passed
by Freeman to go into the prisoners
room, he slyly Winked his eye. Judge
Broyles noticed the wink. and. calling
the witness back, asked him What he
meant. Rogers denied he had winked
The court held that the remaining
evidence was sufficient to prove Free
man guilty
Rogers later admitted to Judge
Broyles that he had not only bought
liquor from Freeman once, but severa,
times
Il was afraid of Freeman feared
he would do me bodily harm if tes-
titled against him." he explained.
