The case Of the United States against Repre-
sentative Lee Wilson of Shelby county, on the
charge of receiving Illegal pension fees, was
called for trial Tuesday in the T.. S. court.
Although the government had fixed the day for
a hearing upon its own motion and enjoyed the
great power of its officers in looking up testi-
mony and witnesses, it was prompt TO move a
continuance. Kern & Bailey appearing for
defendant promptly opposed any such move
ment. Their client was there with twenty-five
or more witnesses anxious, as was his right, TO
vindicate his good name. Over month ago
the case had been set without their knowledge
and government counsel had peremptorily de-
clined a change OF date, which had been asked
because of other professional engagements.
Judge Woods promptly decided that Mr.. VIII
son should be permitted to 20 on with his de-
Tense, whereupon the district attorney, seeing
his political bluff had gone rs far as il could
