Malloy, Dewey and Barlin considered
the freight bill secured from Marshall
as an order for the whisky, but when
Dewey and Malloy were pressed as to
their conversation with each other or
with Marshall concerning this bill of
lading they were both blessed with
very convenient "forgetters" and
made poor mess of explaining why
they should have gone after the bill or
why Marshall should have given it 20
them it being impossible for Kings
bury to worm out of either of them any
admission that would tend to incrim-
mate Marshall except to create sus-
picion that Marshall would not have
turned over the paper to these fellows
except through some understanding be-
tween them.
Early in the case Attorney Darrow,
representing Marshall, made strenuous
objection to the complaint, claiming it
was an omnibus charge and placed his
client in jeopardy, contrary to the stat
ute by the duplicitous character. of tho
complaint. Attorney Kingsbury conf
batted this theory, claiming that al.
though there ware separate accusations
or charges of separate transactions
they all referred to one violation.
The court overruled Darrow on this
contention and the latter then attacked
the legality of the jury, claiming that
jury of twelve is required in such
cases instead Of six as had been chosen.
After the noon recess Tuesday Darrow
again renewed his motion for dismis
sal, again insisting that the complaint
was faulty and also alleging an illegal
jury. After looking up authorities on
the subject, Judge Smith reversed his
former ruling and sustained Mr.. Oar.
row in his motion and dismissed the
defendant, thus ending, at least for the
present, case which has excited con-
siderable interest from the beginning.

GARFIELD SHERIFF
TAKES A WIFE

Sheriff Jessup has made many a cap
ture during his official term and has
always been listed as brave official.
But last week he surrendered to CUPID
and it is now Mr.. and Mrs. Jessup, the
bride having been Mrs. Anna Doose of
this city.
Last week it became necessary for
the sheriff to make trip to Pueblo to
place in the insane asylum Miss Con.
nelly who had been declared insane by
a jury in the county court. The law
provides that in case of the transpor.
tation to such an institution of a fe.
male prisoner the prisoner shall be ac.
companied on the trip by lady attend
ant -s..5. ..,.,...,.,.s,....
MI Jessup selected Mrs. Doose to
perform this duty, and thus created
the suspicion among some of their
friends that perhaps the little god of
love would be very busy before they
returned to Glenwood.
The ceremony was performed last
Friday in Pueblo, Judge Mirick of the
county court officiating. Mr.. and Mrs.
Jessup returned to Glenwood last Mon.
day evening and have since been re-
ceiving the congratulations of their
many friends.

FORGED CHECKS
PASSED MONDAY
Two Greenwood Merchants Taken In
For Total of $112.50-Man
Makes Getaway.

A check forger tried his hand in
Greenwood Monday afternoon late,
succeeding in passing two checks upon
unsuspecting merchants and made his
getaway Monday night with $5O.5O
in cash and $4,000 worth of merchan-
disc. The merchants, who yesterday
found themselves the holders of
worthless checks, are Mr.. A. Dahmer,
corner of Carrollton and George,
and Mr.. A. Naaman, 2O3 Carrollton
avenue.
The checks were drawn on the Will
son Banking Company Of this city,
were both made payable to the same
party and were signed with the name
Of L. B. Sanders, which proved to be
a forgery. Mr.. Sanders is timber
man with his headquarters at .Sidon.
The check presented to Mr.. Naaman
was for $4100, $24.OO of which was
taken in merchandise and the balance
in cash. At. Mr.. Dahmer's the forger
presented check for $71.50, $500
of which was taken in merchandise
and the balance in cash. The man
presenting the check outfitted him
self for the winter, buying a suit of
clothes, underclothing, shirts, socks,
shoes, raincoat and other things.

who passed the checks is not known,
but the police know him well and his

"The cotton goods market is consid-

are probably somewhat larger than
the production, but it is not this fact
that makes the situation remarkable,
but rather the demand for goods, the

than they have been up to the pres

st. LOUIS, Oct. 1.-The opening
sermon of the 44th Triennial Conven-
ton Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church was delivered at the Moolah
Temple, today by Bishop Daniel s.
futile, senior Bishop. Taking as his
text, Acts ~, 81, "Paul said to the
Centurion and to the soldiers, Except
these abide in the ship, ye cannot be
saved" the Bishop discussed the con-
tribution the Episcopal Church could
make to unity, and enumerated Rever-
ence, Truth, Catholicity and American
flavor, and Of the latter said:

dian brethren are here and they are
Americans as well as we. Represent

love them. She fostered our youth in
q long continuance Of nursing care
and protection There is nothing but
q heaped-up fulness Of gratitude in

Of our kinship with the Church Of
England and the Church in Canada.
But under Gods providence adolescent
years have sent us out from under
our mothers roof. We are house,
keeping now in q home Of our own.
Asking permission to use the word
American for short, we want to have
an American flavor in our Church.
Anglican precedents we will study
and respect and admire. But in our
respect and admiration we will leave
them alone, unpracticed, if American
spirit and American taste and Ameri-
can habit do not take to them.

approaching unity seems somewhat
to materialise we want to offer to our
