about 0 o'clock yesterday after
noon and taken before United

! “The United States vs. William
M- Nagle, compliant for violation
of Section 54s3.
| .On or-about the 30tli day of

Grayson county, in the Eastern
District of Texas. William M.
Nagle did unlawfully, fraudu-
lently and felonously embezzle
funds and moneys of the United

and value of 81 *'7.7", by then and
there re<]airing one Neva Nagle,
who was then and there an em-
ploye and clerk of the United
States, to receipt him ami give
him a voucher for the said Sum
of 8187 78, and which said stun
nor any part thereof was not
paid to the said Neva Nagle, hnd
he, the said Nagle, was then
and there an officer of ’the
United States, charged vtith
the payment of the said moneys,
which said moneys was then ami
there an appropriation made’ by
act of congress, contrary to the
form and statute in such Case

the peace and dignity of the

E. J. Smith, attorney for Dr.
Nagle, was asked for a stateuieut
as to the charge made against
Dr. Nagle.
“There is absolutely nothing
to it," said Mr. Smith, “and
when the case comes up fob a
hearing before Commissioner
Holt Saturday in ail probability
he will be promptly dismissed.
The whole case is the flimsiest
kind of a pretext. It is so simple
that I do not see how a charge
came to be made.
Austin, July 17—Claude Ppl
lard, assistant attorney general,
said concerning the opinion of
Judge Brooks on the Bafkin Me
Gregor bill:
“I read Judge Brooks' opinion
but am somewhat averse to en-
tering into any comment up6n
the opinion of a judge of the high
est court of the land upon crimi-
nal matters. There is not much
disagreement between Judge
Brooks and myself upon the
question of law involved. The con-
tention of saloon men was that
they could operate und the old li-
censes until it expired. We held
that this could not be done,
and Judge Brooks held the same
tiling. We held that all saloon
men must comply with the new
law when it went into effect, and
Judge Brooks held the same
thing. We held that the saloon
men must pa^ the full amount of
tax under the, new law, regard-
less of unexp. red license and re-
gardless of apy provision for re
fund, and Judge Brooks held the
same.
“The only material, difference
tween us is as to the time the old
license expires. . We held that
they all expired on the same day,
July 13. He holds that each ex •
pires on a different day, accord?
ing to the time reasonably neces-
sary to comply with the new
law." ;
