rhan she asked a lawver who was in
rown'a office years ago for assistance.
District Attorney Manning won the
first skirmish in the. legal battle aver
the indicted officials of the Title Guar
antee & Trust company this morning.
when Presiding Judge Cleland in the
circuit court overruled the motions
heretofore made to. Quaen ' the lndict-
ments. ' - , : r
This dfes away wlth furthv delay in
brtnrtnar the defendants to plead, and
next Baturflay morning was set as the
time when they will come into court and
answer "Nofguiiti'." Tnen tne- setting
of the cases , for, trial will be In order,
and the district attorney expeots to tak
tiift cases berore a jury some time id
February. . , ...........
The -decision of Judge Cleland this
morning was n complete victory for the
contentions of the. district attorney re
garding the validity of the Informations.
Wallace McCamant as attorney for , J.
Thorburn Roe and Harriaon Allen, rep
resenting T. T. Burkhart and; John E.
Attchison- had filed motions to set aside
the informations on the ground that the
names of .all the witnesses examined by
the district attorney in his investigation
had not been indorsed on the bottom of
tne informations and the further ground
that witnesses were examined during
the holidays. It was also claimed that
tne ngnts or tne defendants had been
Erejudlced by the presence of Martin
r. Pipes, assistant prosecutor, during
the examination of some of the wit
nesses. i Still another point raided by Mr. Allen,
which was not directly in Issue today,
was the claim ;hat the information
should be quashed because they were
not filed on the first or second day of
the next term of court following the time
they were held to answer.
Mr. . Alien secured-permission to file
another motion coverlnr this point, t
be presented Saturday, but Judge Clel
and intimated that this will not avail
the defendants, as he is of the opinion
that because, of the intervention of the
holidays the January term was legally
the "next" .term . after, the. defendants
were bound over.
Judare Cleland said it. la true that tx
fore the law was changed to permit the
district attorney to perrorm tne rune
A strong light was thrown on the
lax methods la vogue In the police
court this morning through the re
ceipt of a request from the sheriff of
Cowlitz county, Washington, for the
apprehension of William Gibson,
alias W. C. Wilson, on a charge of
Jobbery.
- Incidentally the finger of adverse
criticism is pointed , at District At
torney John Manning by the police
authorities, and an exchange of civ
ilities is expected that will no doubt
throw some light on circumstances
that have heretofore been puzzling to
those Interested in the suppression
of crime.
Gibson bears an evil reputation In the
community and haa long been looked
upon by the police authorities as a dan
gerous man and one who would not hes
itate to commit almost any sort of
crime that would afford htm profit or
revenge. Some months ago he was ar
rested on a charge of arson, the evi
dence against him being of a moat con
vincing nature. The police allege that
it was through the Intercession of Dis
trict Attorney Manning that Gibson es
caped punisnment for this crime.
ADout iu aays ago Gibson, in com
pany with an ex-convlct well known
to the police, was found by a police of
ficer at 2 o'clock in the morning walk
ing the streets In the residence district
of the city. Tho men could give no
good reason for being: in that vicinity
at that hour of the night, and when
searched a revolver was found . In Gib
son's pocket. Both men were arrested
and charged with vagrancy, an addi
tional charge of carrying a concealed
weapon being placed against Gibson.
For the seoond time, the polios
sert, a request cams from the office of
the district attorney concerning Gibson.
Just what. If anything, this had to do
wltn the disposition of the charges
against Gibson does not appear. Tne
fact remains that the charges against
the aoas war dismissed and he was
given hit liberty on the promise that he
would leave the oltr at once.
This was last Friday. On the follow
ing day, according to the information
received at police headquarters this
morning from the sheriff of Cowllts
county, Gibson perpetrated a robbery
near Kalama and has since succeeded
in eluding the officers who seek his
arrest.
Members of the local department are
firm In the belief that Gibson Is respon
sible for many of the holdups that have
been perpetrated in this city during tne
past two months, and are much ag
grieved because he was set at liberty
by the Judge of the police courtv and
through the Intercession of prosecuting
lals.
