Then, after things are adjusted to

against vice will be over, the levee

In othe rwords, local political fac
tons are undergoing realignment,
which may make some strange bed

Democratic party on the blink.

appears to be to break the local
Democracy into warning factions and

ACTS OF SECRETARY YERGER RE.
VIEWED BY COURT IN pEcls-
ioN-JupGE ERRED.
THEORY OF STATE WRONG
Would Sacrifice the Spirit to the Let
ter Of Law, Declares Supreme
Court In Opinion Handed
Down In Jackson.


The supreme court reversed the YER
dict Of the jury In the Kinds county
circuit court finding Col. w. A. Mont
gomery. prison trustee, guilty Of NAL
feasance in office, ordering that off
cial discharged. Col Montgomery was
fined 500 and removed from office,
but continued to hold his position as a
member Of the prison board pending
the result Of the appeal to the supreme
court. The decision was written by
Justice Cook.
The supreme court takes the view
that while the trustee may have been
negligent, In that he did not keep a
strict check on the actions OF the sec
retary of the board, Lawrence Yerger,
who embezzled more than 100000 of
the funds Of the penitentiary, he could
not be held criminally responsible for
what Yerger did. .a
The supreme court says Judge w. A.
Henry, before whom Col. Montgomery
was tried, erred in granting certain
instructions, and that the counts in
the indictment were so conflicting that
the defendant could not prepare a
proper defense,
The main basis Of the prosecution
was on the theory that the trustees
had no lawful authority to delegate to
the secretary the duties prescribed for
performance by the trustees, such as
selling farm products and indorsing
checks. In performing these duties,
prescribed as being those of the trus-
tees, Yerger was enabled to embezzle
large funds.
