bllities," said William Widdicomb,
chairman of the executive committee

in nineteen of the states. There IS no
question that IL would he q good thing
and would protect its members. There
will tie no M eetlngs OF the state or

...-.. In the house the day was devoted to the
further consideration Of the sundry civil bill,
the debate being confined to amendments
which had previously been passed over In
opposition being directed against the various
scientific departments, which were the subjects
OF criticism.
In the senate on the 25th, an unexpected and
interesting silver debate sprung mp ON Mr..

BY discussion OF the treaty rights clause OF
the aliens bin, which occupied the remainder Of
the session -. In the house. during the fur
ther consideration of the sundry civil bill an
amendment was offered to appropriate slO0, 900

Lawful to shoot Lynchers.

NASHVILLE, May 27.-The grand jury
today began consideration of the case OF
Police Sergeant Charles w. Davis, who
is charged with the murder of Charles
Rear, the young man shot at the county
Jail the morning of April 80. during the
attack of the mob. In open court this
morning the jury asked Judge Ridley
for instructions upon the following
points:
''If there be an unlawful assemblage,
such as a mob attacking Jail, and if
police officers are placed there by the
sheriff for it's protection, how far are
such officers justified in shooting and
protecting the jail from being broken
into?"
'In considering an indictment for
such firing, what question of law and
fact must the grand jury consider p
In reply Judge Ridley said that ''any
man who had attacked the jail forfeited
his life. Properly summoned officers
had perfect right to protect the Jail,
and If they shot and killed individuals
In the attacking mob, nothing could be
done with them. If, however, an officer
should take advantage of the presence
of crowd, and in the absence of an
attack, shoot and kill man against
whom he had a grudge, in pretense of
defending the Jail, then he should be
indicted for murder"
