Some eminent lawyers think session

think that the law itself creating the new
courts of appeal provides for the present

present circuit judges are authorized by that
act to sit in the new courts. Even if the
president has not the power to appoint the
nine new ones, think that the justices of
the supreme court could organize the courts
and transact business, the existing judges
constituting the courts. The president has

used a stout cord, which she threw over
nails driven into the door frames. When
found by one Of her step-children the
baby hung on one side of the door and
Mrs. Hanson on the other. her feet just
clearing the floor. Both were dead
when found, though both had
been seen not an hour before.

have heard the baby cry loudly, but

go to see what was the matter. Mrs.
Hanson was a good looking and healthy
woman. and has been married to Hanson
about two years and a half. He was a

edy was received here. and an inquest
