During the examining trial OF Den mis-
Long for an alleged outrage upon the
person of colored child, named Hattie
Ross, about five years old, on Tuesday
morning, In cooper shop, near the de-
pot, the City Marshal, Hugh Keller, said
he had orders from the Judge to turn
out all spectators, and when he ap-
proached our Cynthiana reporter he
told him he s'could not report this case.~

Judge Lucius Desha is not consonant

haps the dictatorial Judge might issue
an injunction against THE STAR.
