QUEER new
DOCUMENTS IN

Gross Carelessness shownin
Dispositions Made by
Senate Clerk.
MERE /: RUSE I0GA|N time.
Believed That Democratic
Attorneys Will Seek Fur

Dispositions Of John T. Harris, clerk
oftthei West Virginia State Senate, and
Homer Gray, assistant clerk, have
been fled with the Marion county
Circuit Court as part of the evidence
In the suit brought before Judge W.
s. Raymond by the Democratic or.
ganization for the purpose Of prevent.
ing the hnodel charter for Fatrmont
from becoming effective and the case
Is scheduled for argument late this
afternoon.
It Is anticipated that the Democrat.

noon their favorite tactics Of play.
Ing for time as every day a final hear
Ing on the case is deferred means an
other day In office for the Democratic
city administration. W
That the dispositions Of Gray and
Harris were only p.etext for secur-
Ing itwo-week's delay in bringing the
case to trial on Its merits and that
even the Democratic attorneys do not
regard the depositions as pertinent to
theYcase Is indicated by the careless
ness with which these documents are
drawn despite the fact that two! weeks
were needed in their preparation &C.
cording to statements made by Dem.

AS ian example Of this gross care
Iessness take the reply Of witness
who IN the deposition Is made to say,
that the Eyes and Nose" were taken
In. the Senate. What the witness evi:
IDENTIFY did say was that the "ayes and

the Senate. N " .sss Is s.2S II j d

accuse the witness OF testifying that

senators was fmutilated to the extent
Of having his eyes gougedi out or his

The entire history Of the litigation
started by the Democratic organiza.
lion for the purpose OF having the

fional has been a game OF delay and
