R. E. KIRKMAN To Have Charge of a Number of the Caees in Circuit Court, Instead of the Present Prosecutor. At his reoaest Prosecutor Bond has been released from the duty of pros erutiog the cases against Ed Otte, William loung and Cooke, the three young men who are alleged to have made a criminal assault on the simpleminded girl near Centerville lact summer. The reason for this is that Mr. Bond had been employed as the attor ney for Otte, and the testimony in all three of the cases is the same. These three young men have grand jury indictments against them. Rescoe R. Kirk man, ex-ptosecutor, was appointed by the court to prosecute the case. The prosecutor also asked to be ex cueed in the case of the State vs. W. V. Hates, for the same alleged offense amvt with intent to commit r and bis request was granted tb likewise. Ihe npecifie reason for thi is that when the case fir came up Mr. Bond was employe to assist the county schoc superintendent to investigate th ( charges against Gates, and he is therefore interested in the case to a certain degree. Mr. Kirkman was appointed jo prosecute that case also. ihe progress or tne graca jury is something as yet not known, and it is not known how soon there will be anything to report.

THE CARNEY CASE.

No Known Reason for Invastlftatlng It In an Official Way. ihe coroner began yesterday after noon to investigate the case of the death of William Carnev. So far as the general public can see, there is no reason for the investigation of the ease, as the causes of the death were clear and beyond doubt. While the coroner siatea yesterday afternoon to tne palladium that he had been authorized by the prosecuting attorney to investigate the case, the prose cutor m turn says he did not insti gate the investigation, but that the coroner came to him and consulted in tne matter. The coroner stated yesir uiai wouia pernaps De sev eral days before any conclusion could be arrived at in the matter. The coroner claims to be authorized by law in the matter, and the prosecu tor says that when the coroner consuited him be told him that the law made it m privilege and also hia Antv to loox into ail cases where death re sulted from accident. Dr. Watts bases his action on this information from the prosecutor. The prosecuting attornev stated thin anernoon to the Palladium that it was not as prosecuting attorney that he was consulted, nor as Drosecntor that he gave Watts his advice, bnt merely as a lawyer advising a client. ana not in bis official capacity.
