state supreme court his answer to the charges of unprofessional and dishonest dis-honest conduct preferred against him some few weeks ago by Sidney Stevens Mr Rogers goes into considerable detail de-tail in his answer which is a denial of all the wrongful acts alleged by Stevens and an averment that it is apparent that the information filed against him by Mr Stevens is not filed in good faith or with honest intentions in-tentions but the information is carefully care-fully drawn so as to suppress the real facts and by such a garbled statement to attempt to besmirch the character of Rogers by causing the said statement state-ment to be published in the public press That the said information is instigated solely by a petty and malicious ma-licious design on the part of said Stevens to cause Rogers trouble and annoyance ana at the same time by this demons method to injure him in his good name and reputation by filing charges which have once been passed upon by a court of competent jurisdiction juris-diction Mr Rogers denies that the memorandum memoran-dum of costs filed by him in the case of Stevens vs Pincock was false or untrue un-true but on the contrary says that according ac-cording to the records of the Fourth district court the memorandum of costs was true and correct I is also denied that the accused ever undertook under-took to prosecute a suit for foreclosure on behalf of Stevens and denied that Rogers ever received 42645 or any other sum in part satisfaction o a judgment so obtained and failed to turn over the same to the plaintiff Stevens It is averred that the prosecution prosecu-tion of the suit was undertaken by the firm of Evans Rogers and that they well and faithfully accounted to Stevens for all moneys collected by them a his attorneys and it is denied that any demand was ever made upon Rogers individually by Stevens for the money so collected Mr Rogers then alleges that he is worth many thousands of dollars intangible in-tangible property a fact well known to Stevens and is abundantly able to meet all equitable and just demands of Stevens or any others and further that Stevens in making the charges is actuated by personal feeling because Rogers was attorney against him and his sons in fourteen cases all of which but one were decided against Stevens and that for that reason Stevens is his avowed and open enemy and actuated by hatred and malice filed the charges NOVEL CASE lInn Twentysix Years Old in the Reform School A novel citation was made in Judge Hues court yesterday when Lee Wood was brought forward to show cause why he should not be removed from the Reform school to the penitentiary Wood was implicated with some others of off color character in a burglary His companions were tried found guilty and sent to the penitentiary Wood who is of youthful appearance gave his age at 17 and Instead of being be-ing sent to the penitentiary was committed com-mitted to the reform school When he had been there a little while he developed de-veloped a growth of beard and whisk N ers resembling in strength the quills of the fretful porcupine which with other circumstances showed conclusively conclu-sively that Wood instead of being only 17 years of age would never see 21 again and he subsequently confessed to 26 summers and a corresponding number of winters Anyone over 21 is not a subject for reform school discipline disci-pline hence the application to transfer him to the pen But the question arises as to whether Wood can be resentenced and if not he must be turned loose as his detention deten-tion in the reform school after the age of 21 is illegal There does not seem to be any law filling the case and what will be the outcome is a matter of conjecture The hearing was continued until October 3 and the defendant in the meantime remanded to the custody of the sheriff John H Murphy is Woods attorney JUIlOllS FEES Which i Liable the State or the County The suit brought by Salt Lake county against Morgan Richards jr state audItor aud-itor for a writ of mandamus to compel com-pel the auditor to issue state warrants for juror fees in civil cases came upon up-on demurrer before Judge Street The act of the legislature makes it clear that the state shall pay jurors fees in criminal cases but in regard to civil cases it is so uncertain and in fact contadictor that whether it i3 intended in-tended that the state should pay civil jurors or that their pay be a charge against the county is very uncertain and in order to have the point authoritatively authori-tatively passed upon the present suit was brought The defendant demurred on the ground that the petition is uncertain in that it appears from the petition issued by that certain certificates1 were the clerk of the Third district court for mileage and attendance of pet jurors engaged in the trial of both civil and criminal cases in the district court but it is impossible to tell from the petition which of the certificates or what part of the some were issued for mileage and attendance of petit jurors engaged in the trial of civil cases County Attorney Whittemore on behalf be-half of the county made the argument against the demurrer and the attor neygeneral and Attorney Benner X Smith in support of I after which his honor took it under advisement It seems to be one those cases however how-ever that this county will be a gainer in losing but with the less populous counties of the state the reverse is the case Burglar Sentenced Albert Sweigert who was found guilty of burglarizing the Consolidated
