The condition of the court fund is responsible for the continuance of all jury cases.

Tulsa, May belief that the state is confronted by mutiny of Witnesses, County Attorney Malloy, at the opening this morning of the third day's examination of Mrs. Laura M.

Reuter and three others, charged with the murder of Charles T. Reuter, secured bench warrants for several -and ordered all witnesses excluded from the court room. Adjourrrmnt of one hour was taken' to allow time for arrest of witnesses. But one witness had been examined when Justice Slack announced lunch. Harra Morris, who has at times-been employed by Guy D.

McKlnzle, testified to conversations with Guy about diamonds as early at last Christmas. Morris said they were discussing a diamond Jobbery, and McKinzle remarked "I know where there are some diamonds that would be easy to get." Morris said ln supplementary conversation McKinzle referred to the owner of the diamonds as "Charley." This Is the first name of the murdered attorney. The defense labored to discredit Morris' testimony by bringing out the fact that he had been a rolling stone, in the "joint" business, in jail, and many that his wife is a "chintz detective" (chambermaid), at a local hotel. Morris testified: I was arrested in Sapulpa, but lrwas not "for stealing diamonds: Jtfit robbery-" -a Reuter had several thousand dollars worth of gems. Their disappearance is claimed to be a robbery motive, Morris testified he saw Baker and Bellew, who are on trial, in the Kinzle car about 12 o'clock on night of the murder.

The report shows that the secretary now has over eight hundred boys and ffirls under his supervision and that twenty-four groups of ten boys each hold monthly meetings at his house and receive Instruction in the work they are undertaking. The state reports that it costs the taxpayers $268.59 for every boy kept in one of the state Institutions for a year. There were twenty-eight Juvenile cases in Muskogee county during the year that would have been sent to the Pauls "Valley school that were taken charge of by Mr. Fenstermacher and he reports that every boy is good. The first year's work has proven of so much good, to the youth of the city that the men on the committee feel very much gratified and believe that this year will show an even greater interest in the work by the whole people of the city.
