Jefferson City Mo May 20 Tb
supreme court today found Speaker
James H. Whlteootton of the house
of representatives as attorney for
Howard Sharp guilty of mutilating
the record In tha oase from Monroe
county. The court orders the record
corrected by striking out certain
wards and figure which It finds were
written in It after it had been signed
by the trial Judge and orders the caau
reargued on May 31. This is a murder
case from Monroe county. Some time
ago Attorney Ganoral Crow filed af-
fidavits that Whltecotton had admlttud
changing the record and the court or
dored testimony taken at Paris. Mo.
Reviewing that testimony tho court to-
day finds that the affidavits of tho
attorney general are sustained. Tho
