What Has Been Doing In Newton County Circuit Court.

At Kentland Monday the famous case against Charles G. Mauzy, of Benton county, charged with graft in connection with road tax matters, was dismissed because of a faulty indictment. It is not probable that the case will get into court again. Tuesday the cases of “Hank" Granger, the Thayer man, were called. He is charged with selling liquor without a license. One of the cases was tried and the Jury were out for thirtv hours but failed to agree. The judge then dismissed the jury and the other cases were continued for the term. The cases against Ed Kirk, which were sent to Newton county on change of venue, were called Wednesday. One of them was continued on motion of the state because of the sickness of the state's principal witness. The defendant was tried on one of the other affidavits and the case went to the jury this Thursday afternoon.
