Jury session and not next month
when a special jury session will be
available, the court will be forced
to abide by and grant that request,
The regular jury session of the
SUPERIOR Court was postponed IN
Iune because of the lack of suffi-
cient criminal business to warrant
the expense OF gathering the We
nire. Three civil cases on the cal
endar were postponed until July I,
owing partially to this reason and
the desire OF a number of local at
torneys to 60 east at that time.
But the session which starts on
Tulv I is not a regular one. Hence,
the attorneys for the defense can,
il they so choose. call for trial
during the next regular term in Sep

On its face the new development
appears like decided advantage
in favor of the defense. But there
is some doubt expressed in cir

case. whether Clark will evince {

GRAFT INFORMATIONS
FILED AGAINST CLARK
(From Sundays Daily

Five informations charging graft
at the expense of the county were
yesterday filed in the Superior
Court by County Attorney P. w.
O'Sullivan against County Road
Superintendent D. NJ. Clark. The
defendant was arraigned before
Judge Frank o. Smith with his
counsel. J. Ralph Tascher present
and the time for pleading was set
for 10 a. m, Thursday, July 2. Two
other informatioas completing the
batch of seven which as complaints
Clark waived his preliminary ex-
animation to, will be filed early this
week. The county attorney ex-
planned that his filing of but FIVE
of the seven informations yester-
day morning was in line with his
plan to work fast in order to have
Clark brought TO trial during the
special jury session starting on
July T..
Both Clark and his counsel were
notified of the time. the county at
torney would ask the court TO have
filed the informations and they
were in attendance when Judge
Smith queried of the county attor-
ney whether he had anything to
report. In reporting the five in
formations. the county attorney de-
clared that no witnesses had been
examined before filing these for the
reason that the defendant had waiv-
ed his preliminary examination.
The informations, aver:

i Eckert was the signature attached
l. to the receipt by a woman told
s to sign her name in that way. The
v money was paid by the county faith
r ers who were under the impression
dt that it was for work on road"
l. FetThe informations contain all kinds
e of data connected with the slleg-
h ed graft, including the monthly
Il statements of the road fund depart
t. ment and the amount of work ex-
d pended on different undertakings
and the money alleged to have
" been grated. The informations are

lieved that his findings will in any
way prove as sensational as the dis
closures by the county attorney
Office. Plunketts work will mainly
result in the placing of all records
in such shape as will give easy
access to them by the county at
torney.
1t was yesterday declared posi-
BILE that County Road Superinten-
dent D. NJ. Clark who is up on
graft charges. may after all be tried
during the July jury special term
of court. Opinion voiced by the
counsel for the defense had it that
the defendant and themselves were
lust as anxious ID have the case
settled at the earliest possible date
as were the county attorney and
Judge Frank o. Smith.
The defense counsel are awaiting
patiently for the filing OF the IN
formations against Clark by th'
county attorney. If these informa
tons are filed at a reasonably early
date. permitting sufficient time II
which to prepare their case, tn
attorneys for the defense say tina
they will agree to the trial bein:
held during the special term start
ing on July ! instead OF demand
ing a postponement until Septembe
when the first next regular tern
OF court is scheduled.
The defense holds the privilege t
either try the case in July or Sep
tember by virtue OF the fact tina
the session to start on July ] is
special one and that the defendan
can object to his being tried a
any other than during a regula
session. There is nothing to b
gained by a postponement, 1t
declared. and accordingly the pros
ecution will find no objection t
its desire to have the trial stage
next month.
Consequently it is now up to til
county attorneys Office to 6
through with the original program
for holding The trial in July.
the informations are filed at 4 re;
sonably early date the defense wi

SUPERVISORS NAME
LOWRY ROAD FOREMAN
(From Fridays Daily

Action by the board of supervis-
ors resulted yesterday morning in
the appointment of former Sheriff
lanes Lowry as foreman of the
road construction camp at Lynx
creek. This step, the most inter
esting in several days, featured yes
terday's developments in the Clark
graft sensation.
The appointment OF Lowry prac-
tically deprives Clark OF all power.
Although he still nominally retains
his office as county road superin-
tendent. he will have practically
no authority to direct the Lyn'
creek work nor will be have charge
of the funds or the distribution OF
the wages. Former road foreman
less Kelum has been denoted to
the post of an employee. Keller is
facing charges OF conspiracy to de-
fraud the county:
No power is vested within the
board of supervisors to discharge
Clark from his Office inasmuch he
WAS elected by the people. But
the board has the authority to hire
and pay all labor connected with
road work. Accordingly, the board
is in a position to name its fore
man and guard the disposition o.
all funds.
