The Davenport Case.
The accusations against Judge
Davenport were filed at the October
term of district court by grand
jury after an investigation. These
accusations involved three counts, all
of a similar nature and accused the
county judge with violation of the
penal statutes, involving moral tur-
pitude."
The three accusations recited al
legged associations and acts between
the Judge and three women, nvolv-
ing moral turpitude.
The case was never tried on it's
merits. At the opening of the case,
the defense interposed demurrer to
the accusations. This demurrer was
argued and was sustained by the
court. The court then granted a
supersedeas order suspending Judge
Davenport from office, pending the
decision in the supreme court on the
action of the lower court
The demurrer which was sustained
by the court here, was based on the
grounds that the attorney general
and NOT the grand jury had, under
the statutes, the authority to bring
such accusations against any county
official

fine for setting fires before Sc
curing a permit and the law is
very strict on this. The new

of the state when without a
doubt the blaze was given much
aid from the hundreds of small
brush pile fires burning for days
at a time.
