Thirteen Jurors to Convict.

II heard the late Judge John r.
Grace Of the Court of Appeals of
Kentucky set aside the verdict Of a
jury once under circumstances that
to my mind did him infinite credit"
said Representative John s. Rhea Of
that State at the Wellington.
cit seems that poor woman, who
was on the verge Of starvation and
who was was sole support OF four lit
tie children, went into q neighbours
emokehouse and purloined piece Of
bacon. The proof was positive, and
the jury reluctantly returned yer.
dict Of guilty. When the finding Of
tie jury was read Judge Grace. who
at that time presided over che Four.
teenth Judicial District rising to his
feet, said in the most emphatic
tones.
"-The Court orders that the YER
dict IN this case be set aside, and
want TO declare here that in all cases
where an unfortunate woman is ON
trial for stealing food, taken to keep
her offspring from starving, il will re-
Q1ire thirteen men to convict her Of
the crime in this court. The
defendant is discharged from GUS
tody.' 't5
@The announcement was greeted
with applause from the spectators,
and the general sentiment was that
Judge Grace had acted not only as a
chivalrous man, but that his ruling
was right. Theft to keep innocent
babes from perishinS Of hunger can
scarcely be called crime" Wash

END OFA0NCE FAMOUS CASE
WARRANT AGAINST Ex-REVENUE OF-
 TIGER ASHLY THROWN OUT.
Barred by the Statute of Limitati0n-Sensa tional Features Marked the End-Mrs.
 Hoffman Said to Be Demented.

The trial of F. L. Ashly. in the court of Justice Charles J. Marlin, was but an echo of the administration of President Harrison. The trouble ending in a war rant. being sworn out for Ashly grew out of an attempt, or several attempts, on the part of the then revenue officers to perform their duty. Mrs. Francis Hoffman swore out the warrant.
 Tn the justice court, when the trial was called, motion was made to throw the case out under the allegation that it was barred by the statute of limita- ton. This was done and the case that promised many sensational features was at an end. MT. Ashly was represented by J. J. Altman. Mrs. Hoffman's attor- ney was B. M. Allen.
 Tie history of the trouble is as follows: Mrs. Hoffman was the postmistress at Coalburg under President Harrison. One night several revenue officers were in the neighborhood of her residence when she shot at MT. Allen once and L. B. Shoemaker four times. None of the bullets took effect. Mrs. Hoffman was arrested for assault on the officers. While awaiting trial she called upon sev-
 
 She placed pistol to his breast and told him unless he would agree not to prose- cute her she would kill him. He suc- ceeded in getting away, and had her re- arrested and put under a peace bond. She was placed in jail, being unable to make bond. Two of her sons went to the officers and secured her release un- der promise of keeping her out of the city. This occurred over five years ago.
 Recently, Mrs. Hoffman went before Justice Martin and swore out warrant against Ashly for perjury in connection with one of the old cases It was on brought up for trial.
 After the defendant was discharged Mrs. Hoffman became very angry with the court, her attorney and every one connected with the case. She turned to Justice Martin and told him she believed he was in, what she pleased to term a conspiracy, but she would go before judge who was not and secure justice in the matter. She then proceeded to give him a tongue flashing. and every enc else connected with the case.
 When she turned to leave the room she turned to MT. Allen and said though he was unable to do her any good in the case she would like for him to escort her from those "cut-throat revenue officers" The officers look upon her as being de- mented, and pay no attention to her ex- cept as 8 matter of precaution. She is now residing at Pratt City.
