EX-GAME WARDEN COX
ACQUITTED BY JURY
DepOsed Official Cleared of False
Pretense Charge.
ACCUSED MAN ON STAND.
Said He Had NOthiSg To CcaceaI--
Evidence Showed Loose Methods
Four More Cases Pending

A Jury in the Circuit Court late
Yesterday returned q verdict of ae-
quittal in the case of Franklin z.
Cox, of Somerset county, former
State Game Warden, who was re-
moved from ofhce by Governor Colds
borough, and who was later indicted
Dy the grand jury on the charge Of
false pretenses to the State Comp
troller. il being alleged that he mis-
appropriated State funds, secured
by fraudul snt vouchers.
The case has been on trial for the
last two days and was given to the
jury late yesterday afternoon, after
every legal point had been bitterly
contested by Messrs. Robert Moss
and James w. Ovens, counsel for
MIR. Cox, and Stat.'s Attorney Nieh-
olas H. Green, who conducted the
prose cution. The jury, Of which
Frank o. Spriggs, young farmer Of
the Third district, was fOrema.l, ie-
NAMED out about an hour before ar
irving at a verdict.
Mr. Cox was indicted on five
charges. The count upon which he
was tried and acquitted was that of
presenting false voucher, by which
he secured $50, this sum purportiug
to be for the payment of badges for
deputy wardens, which the prosecu-
tion claimed were never purchased.
Mr Cox took the stand in his own
defense. He had no other witnesses.
In tones that were as frank as they
were emphatic, he told the court and
jury he had nothing to conceal in the
present trouble.
He could not tell exactly when
he had drawn q voucher for $50, al
though the Indictment alleged that it
was on January ID. Witness ed
mitted that he had provided for the
purchase OF badges, as we'll as drawn
money for other expenses of his
Office on different occasions, but
stated that some of the transactions,
in the way of payments, were made
through his assistant, Mr.. Talbot
Dsumead.
One disputed point, over which the
defense made strong contention was
that of apparent conflict between the
indictment and the bill of particu-
lars. Mr. Cox was indicted by the
grand jury in the name of Franklin
e. Cox" whereas in the bill he was
referred to as Franklin E. Cox,
Game Warden.
That the methods of Mr. Cox in
conducting the business of his Office
we're loose was made evident by the
testimony, however 1t is under
stood the State will press the four
other cases against Mr.. Cox, which
involve transactions OF similar ma
ture.

EARLY TESTS FOR

Radical Change in Regulations for
Admission Of Candidates.
SAVES TIME AND Expense.

An important change affecting the
regulations governing the admission
OF candidates 20 the Naval Academy
as midshipmeu has been made by
Secrt tary Of the Navy DAME Is, ac-
cording TO o letter received by the
Naval Academy authorities today.
The action provides for q pre- limi-
nary physical examination of all can
didates, Immediately sitter their des-
ignation for appointment through the
usual course by Senators and Con-
gressmen. This physical test will be
In the nature of a forew8rning 20
the great majority Of candidates des-
ignated to take the examinations, at
TO their fitness TO become officers IN
Uncle Sans Navy, and furthermore
will obviate the expense incurred,
besides the time spent by candidates
in taking a preparatory course in the
mental subjects at the schools here
and IA other cities, as under the Gus
tom that has prevailed for yeats.
While the preliminary physical eX-
animation will be sufficient to deter
mine a candidates fitness for the ser-
vice, yet it does not assure him of
qualification before the medical board
in the final tests conducted at the
Naval Academy. Candidates may
feel reasonably certain Of passing,
however, If they qualify in the first
test.
Under the ruling by Secretary
Daniels all naval stations, az well as
recruiting stations will be notified of
the designations Of candidates for
appointments, and besides the young
men so designated will be directed
10 pre- sent themselves AZ such stations
throughout the country TO take the
preliminary physical examinations.
