The Supreme Court of the United
States is three years behind with its
docket, and as the number of appeals
is constantly increasing, a reorganiza-
ton of the Federal Judiciary system
will soon be an absolute necessity. 1t
is stated that ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Gar
land will, in his annual report, present
strong reasons for change and rec
omend that it be made. He is said
to favor the bill presented by Davis
Of Illinois, who had been on the su-
preme bench before his election to the
Senate. This bill provides that a
Circuit Court be held in every district,
at the same time with the District
Court, and that Court Of Appeals
be established in every Circuit to hear
cases appealed from the Circuit and
District Court. The appellate court
shall consist Of Supreme Court JUS
tice, the Circuit Judges and two Dis
trict Court Judges to be designated
by the Court at the preceding term,
and cases involving amounts exceed
ing $4,000, or test of the Consti-
tuition may be carried from the Court
of Appeals to the Supreme Court.
(
AS the bill provides for two addi- |
tlonal Circuit Judges in each circuit,
and there are nine circuits in the
United States, its passage would give
the President the appoin tment Of
eighteen Circuit Judges.

After being out all night, the jury
at Elmira, N. Y. brought IN verdict
Of guilty against Eusebia Fitzgerald
in the Gen. Irvine grave-robbery case
as charged in the indictment. Her
counsel will argue motion for stay
of proceedings, but no doubt the mo-
ton will be denied and the prisoner
sentenced. If so, an appeal will go
to the higher court, though without
much prospects of a reversal of judg-
ment. The extreme penalty is ST.
900 fine and FIVE years imprisonment,
or both. 1t is though, that the sem
tence will be pretty severe. Eusebia
shows remarkable nerve under the or
deal. She stood her eight months in
the county Jail well. At times during
the trial she lost her serene and placid
countenanoe and looked the the i'm
personation of venom. There is
great satisfaction in the community
with the verdict.
