COURT HOUSE NEWS Attorney John A. Carson argued a demurrer to the indictment of Rex Turner and Cleve Simpkins, charged with larceny of public money, in department No. 1 of the circuit court this morning. The defense demurred to the indictment on the grounds that it did not state facts sufficient to constitute a crime since it did not state to whom the money was to have been paid, that no mention was made of the officers authorized to receive the money and a number of other legal matters. The defense also asked for a separate trial for the defendants, The judge took the matter under advisement and will hand down his ruling Monday.
