Anglers
JUDGE G|LMER
Court Declares SubterfugeS
will Not be Allowed on
Part of Attorneys.

Angered by what he believed to
be the effort of Barry Scanlon, rep
resenting a defendant charged with
child desertion, to gain time in
which to prepare another affidavit
10 replace the one that had been
found faulty, Judge Gilmer in city
court Monday morning dismissed
the case against the defendant. de-
claring that he would not permit
an attorney in the city court TO cover
up his actions by subterfuge.
1t was the case brought against
Frank Jones, a returned soldier, by
his former wife. Mrs. Bertha Place,
charging him with the failure to
support her and Jones child.
Atty. Wolfe, representing Jones,
at the conclusion Of the states evil
dence. moved for the dismissal OF
the case on the grounds that Meth
er the mother nor the child were
residents OF Indiana at the time of
the alleged failure TO support the
child took place.
Judge Gilmer evidently believed
that Atty. Scanlon was attempting
to prepare new affidavit for the
arrest OF Jones on the same charge,
alleging another period in the COM
plant. for he angrily told Atty
Scanlon that he would not permit
subterfuges TO be practiced in his
court.
''Is this court OF justice?" asked
Scanlon. land has the defendant no
rights here2"
You cannot practice subterfuges
here, and, moreover, you should
have filed this case In the court
where IL belongs. in the one where
the divorce was granted" angrily
answered the Judge. The case is
dismissed.

MARKET OPENING
IS IRREGULAR
No Definite Trend in Prices is
Noted During Early
Trading.

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Heavy
offerings OF railroad stocks was
the main feature of today's mar
ket and lower prices were es-
tablished. not only in the rails
but in motors, oils and steels.
Violent moves were seen in
such stocks as Studebaker, Gen
eral Motors, Texas OIL and Mex
lean Petroleum. Specialties
came in for their share Of &C
tive trading and the trend was
Enthusiastically downward. Dur
ing the last hour a rally was es-
tablished. due in part to COW
ering Of short commitments
made earlier in the days Amer
lean Hide and Leather quar-
terly report, as anticipated,
made poor showing. but stock
seemed 10 be in very good de-
mand. There is a lack Of i'm
portant news, so very little at
tention is paid TO the general
line Of gossip. Studebaker is
now under the influence OF
heavy offerings, due TO the un-
certainty as to what action will
be taken on dividend on the
common stock at the next meet
ing. II is an active trading
market in every sense Of the
word and We believe purchases
Of good stocks should be made
when weak.

ing TO the testimony of Sergt.

tanned in a large can taken from
where Gergcy lives. and 10 the tes-
timony of Detective Hamilton that
the contents OF the can smelled like

Efforts to learn the names of the
