"1. That there hat boen-no ovl-
dence Introduced 'tending to corrob
orate the accomplice, Walter Welch,
Inthls dates, but with tho assistance,
ot counsel tor defense, ho got straight
enod out and his testimony through'
out tended, towards proving an alibi.
Ho was subjected 'to a, severe cross
oxamlnatton by Judgo Drake, but he
was certain mat weicncame to tne

ing Mayor's veto attached.
Thore teems to be flaws In a num
ber of the toe t Ions of the ordinance,

dent Sanderson, and If the Interpre
tation ot certain sections by th City
Attorney agrees with hit opinio. Mr.

Tbe first section provldoa that It

ed that the proprietor of a drag
