IT'S HARD TO DO.
Something About the Murder Trials of
Montgcmery County.


Within the past few years Mont
gomery county has had remarkable
experience with murder cases. If
the LEAF-CHRoNICLE mistakes not
Judge Tyler has sentenced some FIVE
or six men to hang since he has been
on the bench, and only one of them
was ever executed. That one was
Bill Morrow. The public is so well
acquainted with the trials of, what
was termed at the time, the morrow
Gang" that it is useless, and perhaps
improper to review them.
Some of the murder cases since the
Morrow trials have attracted very
little interest, many Of them having
been almost forgotten. Just few of
them may here be recalled to show
how hard it is to hang a man. When
Harper Jordan, negro, shot and
killed John Nolen at his shop on the
south side, the public thought there
would be no trouble in breaking his
neck. He was tried at the first term
of court, but the jury failed to agree
on a verdict. The second trial Il ver-
dict of guilty, with mitigating cir
cumstances, was brought in. This
verdict was very properly set aside
by Judge Tyler. There was no mid.
die ground in it. Jordan either killed
Nolen in cold blood, or he was limo.
cent. The third trial resulted in s.
straight conviction, and the public
thought the jury had done right.
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court. That tribunal revised
and remanded it, saying there
was not sufficient evidence upon
which to hang man. Mr..
Savage, who was then Attorney
General, had done his best and the
result was nolle pros. Jordan was
released from custody, but the peo-
pie of the community firmly Believed
he killed Jno. Nolen, and they be-
lieve it yet.
Another case was that Of Finney
Saunders, charged with the murder
of his wife. This case was some
what similar TO the Avant case. AT
ter hard, long fight the accused was
liberated.
Take the John Gilmer case as an
other example. He was charged
with murder and got off with term
in the penitentiary.
There are other cases that might
be mentioned, but this is enough to
show that it is very difficult to con-
vict man for murder. The Nash
vile American, in an article similar
to this few days ago, pointed to a
dozen cases IN Davidson county
where men had been indicted for
murder, all OF whom went scot free.

GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
What the Government Agent VIII Want
For the Site.

A scramble will now begin for fur.
nishing the lot for the public build
ing. There are many lots offered,
which have been enumerated in the
LEAF CHRONICLE heretofore. Sever.
al of these lots are desirable and the
figures at which each can be pur-
chased will more than likely decide
the contest. In selecting sites for
public buildings the government
agents have two leading thoughts.
The first is the price and the second
the desirability of the lot offered.
The United States government is the
worst place ia the world for a man to
try to unload an undesirable piece Of
property, and note should be made
of this. When the agent arrives
here it will be learned that he prefers
lot with drive way all around it,.
When this kind Of lot cannot be
had then about the only thing they
will take at all is corner lot. An
other point the agents always watch
is the title to the land. They will
have nothing to do with piece OF
property where the title is in the
least doubtful, or in dispute. Mar.
rowing it down to point, the gov
eminent will want lot at its market
value; either a corner lot or one hav-
ing a driveway around it, and the
title must be gilt-edged.

FOOD OF AN ANCIENT PEOPLE.
They Fed on Spells of the Chase and Had
Several Demonstrated Animals

They Fed on Spoils of the Chase and Had
Several Domesticated Animals.
Plentifully scattered through the
relic beds of Switzerland's lakes are
fragmentary remnants of its ancient
peoples food We learn that they were
not cannibais, for, amid profusion of
animal bones, very few of the human
species have been detected. The de-
posts of the earliest settlements prove
that the inhabitants were ardent hunt
ers, and then largely fed on the spoils
of the chase. But in after ages, when
farming occupations were followed to a
greater extent, the flesh of tanned ami
mails was chiefly eaten. The bones
have mostly been split open, doubtless
for ths purpose OF extracting the mar
row. Among the animals domesticated
by the lake jewellers were the OK. the
sheep and the goat. Their stalls, like
their masters dwellings, were upon the
water; and quantities of the litter pro-
vided for them have been found in the
mud of the lakes. Moss, which has
also been largely discovered, is thought
by the Gentleman's Magazine to have
formed the sleeping touches of the
household. Numerous wild fruits, such
as apples, pears, plums, raspberries and
nuts, were included in the vegetable
diet of these Swiss aborigines; and the
detection of apple parings testified to
a certain nicely in their cuisine. They
cultivated the common cereals, wheat
and barley; and fat, round cakes have
been disinterred, and also several
stones, between which the grain was
ground

as there is near almost every island city
of note.
Such boat is much less expensive
than yacht. Allowing the same
length for both the former one will cost
from $500 to $500 to construct while the
40-foot yacht cannot be built for less
than $1,000 and perhaps not for much
under S., 900. In the houseboat the cabin
should be 12x15 feet, allowing for pretty
windows at the side and doors opening
upon the deck. Several staterooms
should be arranged on either side, each
612x5 feet, room enough for an upper
and lower folding berth.
At the aft end, to which a passage
leads on either side Of the cabin, is the
kitchen. Then above it all arrange for
a hurricane deck, thirty feet long by
twelve feet wide, and you have a house
boat arranged with every detail that
can add to comfort as far as the gen.
eral plan is concerned. The furnish
ings can be as rich or as plain as your
incinations or your purse will permit.
One thing that should never be for
gotten in the equipment is the double
set of anchors. As rule the boat
should be anchored bow and stern, SO
that she is securely guarded against q
heavy wind. Manila rope is suggested
for mooring or possibly galvanized
chain cable. Have a little dory ready
for emergencies. They are extremely
safe even when loaded down with a
cargo. Then fitted out with sprit-sail
and centerboard they will give occasion
for many pleasant sail in a good stiff
breeze, and save on other occasions the
trouble Of rowing. The question of
moving the houseboat is one not SO
readily solved. On the river, where the
current is strong, there need be no
trouble, but on quiet waters where
of some kind is necessary it
is, perhaps, best to be fitted out with
sails that can be adjusted to four or six
masts, and when the breeze is favor
able you will find the boat moving
along quietly, smoothly and without
danger. Even with four hundred and
thirty-two square feet of sail there need
be no fear of capsizing in squall, for
oy having lle rupees III perfect control
the canvas can be lowered in seconds
time.
There are several ways of building
