and its contents, consisting OF whisky,
to be stolen from It, Special agents
and watchmen of the railroad company
appeared as witnesses, but failed to
satisfy the jury that the two patrol
men had anything to do with the al
legged robbery.
The men claimed they saw two Of
ficers In uniform in the yards, and
that afterward the car was robbed by
10 or IL men.
After the testimony was finished,
Judge Richards directed a verdict OF
not guilty for the defendants. stating
that the state failed to furnish proof
that either Of them had been guilty OF
committing any unlawful act. The in
dictment was drawn up by the states
attorney at the request Of the grand
jury.
Miller, commissioner ii police, sus-

from the special agents Of the railroad
company, but later reinstated them be-
fore the grand jury passed on the bill
of indictment against them, stating
that the charges against them were not
sufficient to indicate that they we're
implicated in the affair, After the

COURT TAMPERING
Supreme Court Affirmed Rul-
ing in Morris Case-Galella
Raised Salary for Himself

When Joseph H. Hanover goes into
court, both low and high. to represent
the city OF Memphis as assistant city
attorney, he will find that he is not
unknown upon their records. During
the palmy days for Nate Norris in
lodging the liquor laws, there arose "A
charge OF contempt Of court based
on an effort TO keep testimony away
from the court, Hanover, as an at
torney in the case and hence by law
an officer of the court, became en-
meshed and was fined $25, which ruling
was affirmed by the supreme court.
Morris was also fined and given a jail
sentence, while J. y. Sangster, the wit
ness, suffered the same fate.
Now that the city has a small amount
OF litigation in comparison with what
existed when the frunt-foot assessment
and viaduct work was active, Han
over. as paw for his activity in the
/ general assembly, especially in defeat
Ing the city manager act TO which
the legislative delegation and city COM
missionerS were s0lemnly pledged. is
made assistant city attorney at S225
per month.
John GalelIa, his confrere in opposi-
ton TO the city manager act, fares
in some respects better, Hanover may
possibly work an average of half an
hour per day for the taxpayers, but
Galella Will have to hustle to find
an average of Is minutes work per day
for his salary of 5000 per month. Then,
too, there's an interesting story as to
how the salary Of the juvenile court
judge, which now Is Galella, vice Ben
f. Powell, happened first to be any
thing and more interesting as to how
it happened to be doubled.
Originally the city Judge was eX-
officio and without extra pay, judge
Of the juvenile court. Under the Ash
croft regime, they were separated and
the juvenile judge given a salary Of
800 per month. During the recent
session of the general assembly Galella
and Hanover put in and secured the
passage of an act raising the pay to
5000. Now Galella gets the $500 per
month for an average of Is minutes
work per day,
This act was passed at about the
same time that the n went through
authorizing the city . commission ia
raise the city tax rate to S2.25. 1t now
is $3.50 per 500.
c. e. McCalman, who was on the
other side of the fence from Hanover
and Galella in the city manage fight,
got a bill through creating a Job for
himself by separating John G. Nc
Lemore from his fees as collector OF
automobile taxes, He was more modest
than Galella and Hanover, as the auto
mobile owner does not care to whom
he pays his tax, However, McLemort
\ Is not happy over the prospective loss
and the fact that he was "trun down
by those whom he had aided in de-
feating the city manager act.
