mony. - 1 no indictment charged," said bis
Honor, "that the orders therein named wore
without consideration and therefore entirely
fraudulent. The evideuco falls to sustain
any of that charge.
"Besides these there nro some orders set
forth wherein tbey are oharged as being part
fraudulent and evidence in reference ticreto
will be considered.
'Counts Nos. 91 and 05. relUinirto exon
erations of tho taxes of Henry and Peter
Joyce, are nbt sustained. Tho testimony of
tho parties and the tax collector was that
those taxes were paid, and therefore the dis
trict could not be defrauded out of the taxes
duo to it."
"As to tho counts from 58 to 80. inclusive.
the indictment charges that the orders enum
erated in tho counts wero issued to teachers
for nttoudlng institute whon in fact tho dis
trict was not indebted to thorn for any such
amount. Thoovidcuce falls to sustain any
of the counts. In fact tho evidenco shows
that tbo toachors wore entitled to these
ordors. And when the County Superin
tendent certified that they attended the in
stitute tho orders woro issued to and re
ceived by tho teachers, and cither ondorsed
by them, or authorized to bo endorsed by
tboni. According to the testimony tbo
amount was duo by tho district. Therefore
tho charges that tbo orders wero fraudulent
lent hecauso they wero not duo for
sorvices rendered aro not sustained
by the evidenco nrcsonted. This
loaves 30 of the 09 counts for considera
tion of the jury. Tho portion of testimony
which would bo evidonce under these counts
