W00llEY ON TRIAL
ON SINGLE COUNT
Defense Gained a Great
Victory the First Day
of Proceedings
WILL RESUME TODAY
Supreme Court Decision
Figured in an Interest
ing Argument.

Sheriff James Woolley Will Do
tried on a lone count instead OF TWO.
$. M. Rutherford of Muskogee ana
Judge l.. NJ. Poe of Tulsa, counsei
for the accused official, presented d
motion to the court asking that tne
count charging laXness In enforcihs
the gambling laws be stricken out
Assistant Attorney General j. II.
Miley argued against the motion, but
Judge Conn Linn ruled In faVor Oh
Sheriff Woolley and the count was
ordered dropped. 1t was distinct
victory for the official.
The charge was brought on the
ground that Wolley had been accused
of wilful maladministration or office.
in that he had failed to enforce the
gambling law as enacted in 1910 and
the amendment of 1913, which was
declared to be null and void. Wool
ley's attorneys pointed out to the
court that the law had been thrown
out by the supreme court recently.
Argued in Vain. j..
ST. te's attorneys were on their Ieet
as soon as the motion had been pre-
scented, but their arguments were IN
vain. Judge Linn said the faiihre
of the gambling count to stand up
now was the fact that the supreme
court decision had not been made un-
Ill the grand jury had received its
Instructions and after the Accusation
had been made.
The striking out of the gambling
count leaves but one accusation
against Sheriff Woolley. He now
stands accused only with failure to
enforce the prohibitary laws.
when court convened at 1880 yes,
terday afternoon J. II. Miley declared
that he was without assistance to go
ahead with the trial and asked that
the case be suspended until TINS
morning so that he could communicate
with the attorney general and have
an assistant come here at once. A. j..
Biddison, who assisted in the trials
of Mayor Frank NJ. Wooden and Com
missioner Thomas j. Quinn, Will not
appear in the present hearing and
this makes it necessary to procure as
sistance from Oklahoma City. 1t was
said yesterday that Attorney
s Prince Freezing would in all prob
ability come here to prosecute the
case himself
Jury Was Excused.
Witnesses and jurors were excused
soon after court took up yesterday
afternoon, but were told to be in the
courtroom at 3 o'clock this morning.
Sheriff Woolley and his counsel were
immensely pleased with the way
things went yesterday. Woolley said
he was willing to take any 12 of
the men On the jury panel and go to
trial on the accusation. 1t is ex-
pected the selection of a jury will
be completed in record time today
and some of the evidence taken.
The courtroom was full of friends
of he sheriff He has spent all his
life in this part of the country and
there is hardly anyone in the south
west that don't know Jim Woolley.
His friends have stood by him 10y
ally ever since the accusations were
made against him and they were with
him yesterday.

WHO MUST STAND THE
BRIDGING EXPENSES?
Special to The World.

OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 2S.--A
perplexing question has come to the
attorney generals office in an in
quiry from the county attorney OF
kiowa county as to question or
damages a farmer might suffer in the
grading of public road. In the
grading of roads the sides are left
much lower than the center, and in
many cases the road runs close to IA
house. The Kiowa county attorney
wants to know whether 1t is the duty
OF the county to construct a culvert
over which the farmer would turn
from the road to his house, or is the
business of the farmer himself. Com
plants have been made by farmers
that in such grading no preparation
has been made for crossings. Under
the law where persons property
may be damaged 1t is made requisite
on the part of those doing the grad
ing to ascertain If any damages might
occur to the property. and the attor-
ney-general is asked for an opinion
in the matter.
