cnuRT OF APPEALS

AS stated on that date the Court of
Appeals yesterday granted new trials
to Pokey Barnes, Mary Alternately and
Solomon Marable, the three negroes
convicted of the murder of Mrs.
Pollard, in Lunenburg county.
Judge Reilly handed down an opinion
disse nting from opinion of the court as
to the last count. He says in SUBJ
stance that while it is necessary that
the jury should be placed in the Gus
tody of the proper officer, ETC., the
statement of the fact is not necessary
part of the record to sustain the judg-
ment.
An interesting opinion handed down
in the Court of Appeals yesterday was
that of Judge Harrison in the case OF
Norfolk and Western Railroad VS..
Dougherty from the Circuit Court q
Norfolk. The plaintiff, Mrs. Ella F.
Dougherty, was proprietress of the
Purcell House in Norfolk. She and her
niece, Mrs. M. P. Jordan, of Danville,
were driving near the Norfolk and
Western belt line and when they ct
tempted to cross the track, the horse
was struck by passing train and
killed Mrs. Dougherty was injured
and Mrs. Jordan had miraculous es.
cape. Suit was brought by Mrs.
Dougherty and she got verdict. Her
husband, DR.. C. E. Dougherty, was
made party to the suit and in the appeal
the defendant company raises the ques-
ton as to whether or not the Jolndel
of the husband with the wife in this &C
ton is error for which the verdict il
favor of the wife must be set aside
The court cites section 22SS of the
Code which, it says, clearly proves thai
as to matters connected with, relating
to, or affecting the separate estate of 6
married woman, she may sue and be
sued in the same manner, and there
shall be the same remedies in respect
thereof, for and against her, and hel
said estate as if she were unmarried
From this the court concludes that the
husband had no interest whatever il
the result of this suit and was not s
proper party thereto. The misioindel
of parties being total defect, the yer
dict is set aside. The court does no
/ decide the other questions involved

COMMUNICATED.
An Appeal for the Poor.
You who 60 to the Opera Hall
Just to hear the "Glee Club" bawl,
Don't forget the cry of the poor
Who stand trembling at your door;
For Winter is here, so fierce and bold,
Chilling the poor with his frost and cold;
60 each dear friend don't spend all your
money,
Please don't do that my precious honey
The sick are cared for in our city,
SO it seems to many quite pity
That so much money for colored tile
Should be spent to walk on, while
There are go many we see half clad,
Which makes Us all feel very SAD;
For to spend money in ornamentation
IL these hard times is great yexatior
We must remember the Divine injunction
To give to the poor-a pressing Christian
function. K.

Observation-Disclosures Alter
ney Johnston, of the county, was IN
the city to-day. When asked what
was the news in his county, he replied
that the Governor and Attorney Gen

county's moral affairs and endeavoring
to suppress gambling there that they
had overlooked the county's temporal
affairs entirely. lie says that he pre-
pared bill and had it passed by the
Legislature directing that the charter
of the Washington and Alexandra
turnpike be forfeited because it is not
kept in order, but that as that turn
pike belongs to the Pennsylvania Rail

A Duluth ex-Banker's Plausible Stories
Get Out of Prison

A Duluth ex-Banker's Plausible Stories to
Get Out of Prison
SAN FRANCISCO. August 1.-Alonzo
J. Whlteman, the Duluth banker who was
recently sentenced to the penitentiary for
forgery, declares he has been sent to
prison as the result of conspiracy be-
tween his sister and her husband. man
named Gibbs. Whiteman declares that
after the governor of Michigan refused to
issue extradition papers to send him to
California he went to Paris From there
he was decoyed to New York by his sister
and her husband on representations that
his fatber's estate was ABOUT to be set
tied and upon their promise to clear him
of debt. When he arrived in New YORK
he was arrested on the forgery charge,
and Governor Morton turned him over to
the California officers. Whiteman ex-
hibits letters from his mother in which
she refers TO her son-in-iaw, Gibbs. as a
iend, and tells of the efforts OF Gibbs
and her daughter to EN- barass Whiteman.
The crime for which Whiteman was con-
victed was the forging OF cheek for $500
on New York bank, using the name of
Frank Dixon. He claims that Dixon
wrote the check in good faith hut did
not have $500 on deposit in the New York
bank. Whiteman, who cut quite swath
here socially, cashed the check and when
the bank was informed that Dixon had
no account in New York they demanded
the return of the money from Whiteman.
He was unable to pay it and the prose-
cutioE for forgery followed.
