Dudley NJ. Riley in which be appears to
find fault with what has appeared in this
paper in regard to bis arrest on the charge
of tampering with registered packages in
the White Swan postofice. All We have
had to say about his case has been as a
matter of news; we have expressed no
opinion in regard to his guilt or innocence.
and if be is innocent he has no Just cause
of complaint against this paper, but should
direct his dissatisfaction to the circum.
stances which directed suspicion to him and
caused bis arrest and Imprisonment.
In the district court yesterday. the case
of W. W. Bookings vs.. John j. Thomp.
SOD, was r-srgued by counsel. This is q
case which involves the validity of a mort.
gage of a homestead executed before prov
ing up 90 the same. The decisions on
this point are somewhat conflicting, and
the decision of the court in the case at bar,
may be influenced by the Interpretation of
our " statutes as to what a mortgage is
it is, or is not. I'D alienation. If
not an alienation, then the owner of a
homestead is not precluded from making u
valid mortgage even before acquiring title
BY final entry. This is in brief the sub
stance of the view Of the court rs indicated,
but as yet no decision has been made. In
the case at bar, the wife not having signed
the mortgage, may yet sustain az sctton Of
ejectment 10 case Of q decision adverse to
her and her husbands. The sttor-
neys in the case are E G.. WhceIe, and
w. w. Brookings for plaintiff, and Phil
Z. Faulk for defendant.
COME ON WITH YOUR RAGS.
