Upon reaching Walker where the money was to ba transfer- red to the main Iine, the box was op- ened but the package was found to be missing. Since then detectives have been on the case.

The supreme court on Monday, in a decision written by Judge Fox, re- versed the Skillman case. The opin- fon holds that the indictment was faulty, in that, where theconstitution provides that the clauee “against the peace and dignity of the state” must be recited, the word “the” te- fore “state” was omitted. The at torneys for the defense, General H. C. Clark and M. S. Horn, carrled the case up on that point alone, and of course, are gratified over the result Andy Skillman was convicted of de filing his ward, one Myrtle McCul- loch, the case. coming here from Foster.
