In dismissing the case, Judge

have no doubt that the attack was
unprovoked and I am convinced
that dog which would attack a
child in this manner should be
destroyed or removed from the Dis

Warnings 10 Face
Jury Second Time
On Tax Charges
Trial Expected to Be
Short; Lows Again
To Preside

In District Court Wednesday EN-
mitt Warning and his brothers, Leo
and Charles, face jury for the
second time on charges of conspir-
acy to defraud the Government of
income taxes allegedly due from
their numbers business. On trial
with them will be Gordon L. R.
Sadur, a public accountant.
The first trial. held in November,
resulted in hung Jury. This jury
was reported. variously, to have
stood to and to for conviction.
Justice Bolitha J. Laws, who pre-
sided at the first trial, will be on
the bench at the second trial While
the first trial spread over three
weeks, with nine trial days scattered
over holidays and week ends pro-
longed by circumstances, indica-
tions were yesterday that the new
trial will be shortened considerably.
Since the attorneys on both sides
have had chance to study the
transcript of testimony, they will,
at least in some instances, be able
to avoid repetitions. and take short
cuts to establish certain evidence,
it was pointed out.
! 1t would not surprise those con-
nected with the trial to see it close
within a week.
Undisputed evidence at the first
trial showed that the Warning
brothers were engaged in an extern
Slve numbers business the latter
part of 1884 and throughout 1895
and 1896, and that the game crossed
from the public around $4,000 in
the latter year. But there was sharp
dispute over what net profits the
Warnings made and whether they
"short-changed' the Government,
and, If so. whether there was any
intention to defraud the Internal
Revenue Bureau.
The Government charges them
with willfully neglecting to pay over
the three-year period approximately
$4,000 in taxes. Sadur. who was
retained by the Warnings to prepare
their returns, is alleged to have
conspired with them to evade por-
tions Of the taxes due.
Sadur was the only defendant to
take the stand at the first trial. He
denied any intent to defraud, and
said he went over the Warning books
and prepared tax schedules based
on such income as he could find.
