JUDGE SAYS EVIDENCE

William Rrincs. might appeal TO some
persons as showing probable" or pos
sible" guilt Of Primes. but Judge Fer
guson regarded it as definitely insufh
cient TO permit the case to go 20 a jury.
he said today.
Judge Ferguson was asked to outiin"
his reasons for taking the case from the
jury. He said:
"A great quantity OF evidence was
brought out BY the prosecution, but
there was nothing which would appear
to sufficiently link up Brincs with tho
crime.
For this reason I could not allow
the case to 20 to the jury.
Upon the evidence presented. It
would have been impossible for me TO
have sentenced Brines, had he been
convicted
The evidence "a presented might
appear to some persons as showing that
Brines was possibly guilty; to others.
even that he was probably guilty; but
the evidence, In my estimation. was in
sufficient to allow the case TO go be-
fore a jury.
The question of the existence of the
mysterious 'Al" was presented to
Judge Ferguson, and he was asked his
belief concerning this phase.
Judge Ferguson reply was a short
laugh. That seems rather too hazy.

Judge Ferguson WAS greatly pleased
when informed the jury hnd fully agreed

answered smilingly.
A little later Brines went out with

some shopping at nearby stores. On
their return Mrs. Brincs entered the
house and "Billy" stopped moment
to talk to reporters.

This may be contrasted with the re-
suits under municipal operation for the
four years prior to the lease, when the
price Of gas was the same, which showed
an average annual cash loss to the City
of $245,4l LOO, made up by taxation,
and a stead y deterioration in the physical
condition of the plant.
We will submit to you detailed state
ments, and give you opportunity to
verify the same, showing the returns to
the Company under the lease, and will
ask you to consider that the large loss
which we are now suffering is one of the
problems confronting you in considering
what must be done to secure to the City
and to gas consumers the best possible
results during the balance of the term of
the lease, notwithstanding radical
changes in conditions due partly to the
developments of the great war and partly
to other causes. which will refer to later,
and what plan should be followed after
the termination Of the lease for the oper-
alton, upkeep and betterment of this
great, and, at present, most profitable
asset of the City.
In all industries there were marked
increases in the cost Of production as a
direct result of the great war, which, in
many cases, are now in course of read
