The Docket Was short, But There Were
Scvcral Interesting Cases.

The stray sunbeam that stole through the
windows of the Police Court yesterday morn
ing glittered on the closely shaved head of
Giles Jackson, the irridescent colored crimi-
nal lawyer. as the effulgent incandescent is
reflected from the ivory ball that rolls across
the billiard table.
But Jackson was unconscious OF these
things. He had case and the docket was
small. and this was his only chance. Rachael
Coleman had been arraigned for stealing
waistcoat from William Mitchell. and Jackson
appeared to defend her. Rachael is no
stranger about the court. and nearly every
week she manages to do something, wicked
enough to get an opportunity 10 see how the
business is conducted.
Poor Rachael" began the lawyer In
lugubrious voice that brought even shower
from heaven and caused dozen bandannas 70
be quickly drawn out from every conceivable
hiding place by hachaels score OF friends.
Giles rolled up his sleeves and began an ora
ton that would have been just the thing for
Fourth of July celebration. Christmas
festival or an Emancipation-da address HIS
brother lawyer looked over his spectscies IN
mute admiration. the stalwart police IN tho
corner took fresh chew of tobacco. and His
Honor looked out of the window as If no ex-

go it will. feel, be another star in my crown

That's very pretty Giles. and il thought
you had ghost of O shadow for the crown
| would not be hard about the star, but guess
Rachael had better take sixty days"
Edmonia Williams, the fading bloom upon
whose cheeks was amply revived by a poorly
applied coat of crimson cosmetic, looked. as
she peered from under wealth of hat that
resembed closely rejected sunshade, like
some grand old ruin of an iDglorious past. but
she deposited her $3.50 for disturbing tho
peace and sailed over the sawdust as IL she
was on her way to the Wild West show.

Decision Against n Seventh Day Advent
ist Convicted OF Sabbath Breaking.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 3.-E. s. Ham
mond, district United States judge, has
handed down his decision in the famous
case Of R. NJ King, the Seventh Day
Advsntists. King was convicted year
ago of Sabbath breaking by plowing
on Sunday in 0bion county. He ap-
pealed TO the supreme court and the
sentence was affirmed Then the Ad-
ventists and the national secular asso-
citation took up the case. Don M. Dick
ipson was engaged as counsel and the
case was taken to the federal court last
November on writ of habeas corpus,
the contention being that the conviction
was contrary to the bill Of rights OF
Tennessee and the constitution OF the
United States and that the defendant
was held prisoner by the sheriff with
out due process of law.
The application was argued several
months ago and Judge Hammond has
had II under pd-.sement ever since.
The deferdEnt'is remanded back TO the
custody Of the sheriff TO pay the fine or
serve the time In lien. according TO the
sentence. The decision is based not so
much on the constitutionality OF Sab
bath laws as upon the fact that King
was convicted under due process OF
Tennessee law, and 1t is not In the

county, w. Va, was the scene Of a
series of murders on Friday night Mr.,
Brumfield, his wife and five children
were murdered in most horrible man
ner and their bodies consumed by fire.
About midnight fifty Italian railway
laborers became drunk and started op
tour Of devastation. The Brumfieid
family were thought to have consider
able money. The Italians went to
Brumfield's residence and were refused
admittance. Doors and windows were
then forced open. Mr.. Brumheld with
his two half-grown sons fought with
desperation, but were finally murdered,
their throats being cut from ear TO ear
and the bodies repeatedly stabbed.
Mrs. Brumfield and her three little
children were next killed by the drunk
en- Italians, who then searched the house
for money and set It on fire. Mr.. Brum'
field was influential and wealthy. Two
or three years ago, while county com
missioner he opposed the building OF
new court house and thus made many
enemies. The court house was built
