Provisions of Statute
The statute provides that the president
of the board of convict inspectors shall
make quarterly settlements with the state
auditor and the defense maintained that
only the president of the board could be
regarded as the custodian of the depart
ment funds, and that he could not dele
gate that custodianship to an employe of
his office
This point was brought out strongly by
Wiley II. Hill and Ray Rushton, attor-
neys for the defense, both of whom made
able arguments on the-demurrers to the
indictment They We're strongly opposed
by B. p. Crum and Attorney General
Brickell for the state, who maintained
that 1t was not necessary for the legs-
lature to include so many details in
making laws for the regulation of the
department. that Lacy was acting i'm ali
official capacity in receiving money from
the president of the board and that their
point was sustained by numerous cases
on record, which were read to the court
Defense Again Demurrs
The defense again demurred to numer-
Gus counts of the indictment on the
ground that the avermsnts were dis
specific charges. Lacy was charged with
embezzling checks, bank notes, exehangs
and other character of money. and his
lawyers attempted to have these courts
of the indictment overruled on the
ground that they were distinctive 4
Another point made by the defense in
arguing against the indictment was that
Lacy was charged with converting ~
his own use or to the use of anothe r
certain funds. Lacy's lawyers contended
that the indictment should have con-
tanned the names of the others to whom
he had turned over the money, declaring
that this form of indictment was In
valid under the law.
Crowded Courtroom
The trial of Lacy was begun promptlv
at $3.50 O'Clock this morning with a
crowded courtroom. Lacy was brought
into court shortly after his case was
called and remained during the day. The
first business of the day was the se-
lection of jury, and from the 81 Jurors
the II men to try Lacy's case was Sc
lected without difficulty. The defense
at first objected to the selection of a
jury until arguments on the demiirrers
had been heard. inferring that there
might then be no use for jury. This
intimation was made b, Wiley H. Hill,
one of the leading lawyers for the de-
fense. The court overruled the motion
