 TWEEN WRITING EXPERTS.

Los Angeles. Jan 26.-Two min utes in court, the time required to arraign the prisoner, started today what is expected to be long legal battle against the state for the life Of John Grondin, chemist and under taker, charged with the murder of his wife, zelia, daughter of a Water vile, Me. druggist under guise of suicide. Grondin's preliminary hear ing was set for February g.
 Attorneys say tine case will be 5 struggle between contradictory hand. writing experts, who have examined the suicide notef which Grondn alleged his wife wrote to him just before she inhaled gas.
 The note telling of alleged breach. es of fidelity caused the father Of Mrs Grondn, George Dayieau, to in stitute an inquiry. Two handwritiny experts have had the note under ex- animation and today one of them aa- nounced positively that the note had been written by Grondin, while the secod was equally positive 1t mad been written by Mrs. Grondin. One of the experts represented the pros ecution. the other the defense.
 Mrs. Grondin was found in her room with box over her head and gas tube inserted under 1t. Grondin has been under surveillance since and was arrested when the district attorney announced that poison had been found in Mrs Grondis body, which was exhumed several days ago.
 Detectives employed by Grodin' counsel spent the day in a fruitless search for the ghost" which Gron- din says was made to appear Satur- day night, when detectives said to he giving him the third degree" in an effort to elicit confession.

HALE INDICTMENTS SET FOR WEDNESDAY,
CHARGE AGAINST FORMER SHERIFF OF COUNTY FOR
 PERJURY WILL BE TRIED.
lmmaterial Error in the Indictment Is Not Made the Subject of De murrer by the Defendant

The indictment returned by the last grand jury against Hugh l.. Hale former sheriff of this county charg- ing him with perjury, will he heard in the circuit court W ednesday, the case having been set for thata date.
 There was some immaterial flaw in the indictment, occasioned by the fact that fee bills printed with 1911 date in the print had not been cor rected or changed to read 1912, in some instances, and for a while there was talk about this being probably q serious flaw, but Attorney James F.. Hogue. who represents MT Hale in the case, stated that the defense had not set up any technicalities in the answer, but would be willing to try the issue on it's merits
 We are willing this charge should go to trial on the merits of the case, '' he said. We do not believe that it is necessary to our cause to contend over teehnicalities.
 Prosecuting Attorney Witt and Deputy Al G. Bedding will conduct the prosecution. The trial will not take long time, unless there is diff ficulty encountered in securing a jury. The evidence is for the most part documentary and the case may be tried within one day unless there is unusual delay in securing a jury for the trial of the cause.

FILES DEMURRERS
 ID INDICTMENTS
COUNSEL FOR CONSTABLE AND JUSTICES CLAIM INoiCr
 MENTs ARE INSUFFICIENT.
Do Not Point Out Specifically the Charge and Claim They Should Be Thrown Out of Court.

Demurrers were yesterday filed against the indictments recently re. turned by the grand jury against Constable Joe Landlord and Justices of the Peace Afford, Gladson and De Wall, setting forth that the alle5a. tions in the indictments were not sufficient and that they should be thrown out of court.
 Circuit Judge Gotham gave a hear. ing yesterday morning to attorneys for the various indicted officials
 Particularly in the case of the in- dictments against Constable Lank- ford the attorneys believe that the indictments are insufficient, because there are accusations of overcharge or wrong charge in six different cases, and the indictment does not specify which of the six cases the constable acted properly in. and which he made overcharges in. The attorneys say this should be set up specifically in order that a proper defense may be made to the charge
 The state argued that there was a general oyercharge in six specific cases, or that the constable had charged fees in six cases, when he should have charged in hut one Of the six, and that the proof as 10 which of the eases the constable had right to charge in, and which were ovprchargpd in was a matter tO he determined in the trial of the issue therefore. not the subject of demur- Ter
 Judge Gotham had a business call to Little Rock in the afternoon and left the city, but will probably hand down his ruling on the indictments this afternoon at ? o'clock.
