Apparently Massey had been indulging in the offense of givinir straw bonds. The indictment was returned airainst him bv the June grand dury.

Last April he ap-ueared before the Bond Recorder for the purpose of furnishing surety in $100 for a suspected felon, llassey at that time is charged with havmit falsely sworn that he owned a house at West Ormsbv avenue, which, from later developments, it was learned was really the property of Col. Morris Belknan. It was further charged that he did not possess any pronertv at all. Another indictment embracing a similar charge was returned against him at the same time. He is said to have falsely made oath that lie owned prop erty in order to secure the release of ck Ludlow, charged with shooting and wounding, on a bond of Massey only pleaded guilty on the -Mc-Faiiden indictment, and when iie consented to take the pena.tv suuuesled bv J-il.

In Judge Field's court yesterday alter- i noon trial of an assault and battery damage case in which Mrs. Lizzie Neville is the plaintiff and Mrs. Molhe Kotnelmer the defendant, was taken up. and will be completed to-day. Roth live near Six teenth street and Burnett avenue.

Tne trouble occurred in October. lyuS. and the pnmarv cause of the trouble appears to have been Mrs. Neville's chickens. She accuses Anna Kotheimer with havine caumit and killed her chickens.

"I told her." said Mrs. Neville while on the witness stand, "that she mav have had a right to kill my chickens when they ran over on her place, but she didn't have a right to eat them." Later titat day Mrs. Neville stated she met Mrs. Kotheimer on tne street, ana mat me ueienu.wii. maue at.

uei. I had called her daughter out of Her name. I had never done anything of the kind. I said: 'Don't hit me. Mrs.

and she answered: '1 ain't going to hit you. I'm going to kill The plaintiff stated that the defendant nearly tore her clothes- off. The defendant denies this account of the trouble, and will to-day on the witness stand give her version of the trouble. Mrs. Neville asked in damases.

and Mrs. Kotheimer. who charges the plaintiff with assault, wants So.OOJ on a counter-claim. Fight Over Jeffersontown's Limits, The lejcal controversy over the exten- Needed To Make Hospital Construction Non-Partisan. UNDEE PRESENT ORDINANCE SINKING FUND SELLS BONDS.

MUST GO AT PAR VALUE OR BETTER. JUDGE RICHARD'S OPINION. Judgo A. Richards, City Attorney, yesterday save out the following interview in regard to the proposed issue of ifl.iKXl"!' ot' bonds to build a new city hospital: "The erection of the present city hospital was commenced in 1S22, and although improvements and additions have been made from time to time. I think It is eoneeih-d by everyone who has taken the trouble to" make an examination that the present building has neither the capacity nor the facilities to meet the demands upon it.

This is due to the great incrca.se in the number of patients and the methods of treating them. Moreover, modern science has demonstrated tin necessity of separating persons suffering from different diseases. Under our present arrangement all patients (with the exception of those suffering from are crowded together in one building, which our best medical authorities say is but little less than criminal. There Is but one way to remedy this, and that is for the voters to authorize tbe city to collect and expend the money necessary to erect a new up-to-date hospital. "Hut it Ifi said by those opposing the city's linanclal plan that the ordinance docs not properly guard the price for which the bonds may be sold, and leaves the expenditure of the monev In the hands jf the Hoard of Public Works instead of providing a nonpartisan commission similar to i he one under which the sewers are being constructed.

The ordinance places the sale of the under the of the Conimiss.mer-i of the Fund of the city, to be by them sold to the highest bidder, and expressly providing, "No ta of any of said bonds shrill be made for than and the premium, if any. io go into a sinking fund for the ultimate retirement of the bonds. I modeled this ordinance after the one which I also drew for the sewer bonds, which was not only approved by a vote of the people, but under which the Commission has been working satisfactorily. "But it is also objected that a nonpartisan commission is not to have the xpendlture of the money. This eoula not be done under our charter, which places the construction of all public Improvements in the hands of the Board of Public Works.

The only way this can be changed would bo by an act of the Legislature similar to the one creating the Sewer Commission. But those who are making this objection overloejk the fact that the law does riot permit the board to make any contracts for this kind of work without a public letting, after uu'- advertisement, and the contract must then so to the lowest and best bidder. It seems to me that the money of the taxpayer is well guarded. In that the sale of the bonds Is placed in the hands of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund with a Mmitalion that prohibits their sale for less than par. and the proceeds to be expended bv another board whose acts must be ouen to the public before the contracts are let.

"The amount required to be raised to meet both the interest upon the bonds ami a smKing tuna to retire tnem Is only annually. The tax for this purpose will not be burdensome. The to- I assessment of property last year was in round numbers fVyi.Kw. After deducting the estimated discounts there was left in round numbers S160.000.000. from which to collect the city's revenues.

With th" assessment standing a it Is. the levy of three cents and a fraction oa each one hundred dollars would provide the amount required to le raised to take care of the bonds. This levy would he decreased from year to yeaf. as the total assessed value of property is increased. "The total bonded Indebtedness of the city is now only $11,516,700.
