Mention was made by us last weel
lof the kidnapping of 4-year-old
! Juannee Wand from her foster-mother
Mrs. ]. j. Ward, who had raised her
from an infant less than a year old. So
greatly had Mrs. Jas. Ward become at
tached to the little one, that when the
real mother kidnapped and carried
her OF, it was Ike losing one of her
own children. Therefore, immediate
ly after the kidnapping. ha6eas corpus
proceedings were instituted before
Judge Rucser for the recovery of
Juannee- Respondent, Mrs. Lutte
Ward. appeared in court at I O'Clock
p. m Friday Of last week and made
reply to the complaint that she was
the natural mother Of Juannee and
rightully entitled to the guardianship
Of the child. Judge Rucker, after
hearing all the evidence, from person.
al reasons declined to decide the case
and requested the attorneys to select
a special judge to hear and determine
the controversy. Judge Minter Of the
probate court was chosen, and the
matter was argued before him at
night, he having previously heard the
evidence taken before Judge Rucker,
read from the stenographer's notes
The evidence was then reviewed and
the Law Of the case presented for reia-
tor, Mrs ]. ]. Ward, by ]. c. and c.
B. Crawley, and for the. respondent.
Mrs Lutte Ward. by Squire ]. M.
DeMoss and L. N. Dempsey. Judge

in favor Of reiator and restored to her
the custody Of little Juannee, holding
that the evidence showed that Mrs. ].

trial before his honor Tuesday morn-
ing last. Realizing that the state had
him dead to rights" defendant con-
Guided to rely on the mercy of the
court for a light sentence, and pleaded
guilty to the information. And the
court did not betray his confidence,
giving him 6ne Of $a5 and 10 days

him to assist IN. the valuable work of

road just west of the Mussel Fork
bridge.
Geo. Woodruff Of TripIett, arrested
on complaint of Geo. Smith, was tried
last Tuesday before Squire Presley
Oxiey on two iDformations. The first
information, in two counts,
charged defendant with assault
and battery and disturbing the
peace OF one Geo. Smith. He was
found guilty on both counts, and
for the assault and battery got three
months IN the county jail and on the
second fine Of $Io- The second in
formation charged him With carrying
concealed weapons, to which he plead
ed guilty and received the lowest pun
ishment provided in the iaw-hve days
in the county Jail. As we figure on
the probabilities Of the penalties he has
incurred, all his woes, probably brought
about by the silly and criminal prac-
hce OF carrying concealed weapons,

The Salisbury D<~afyaf Of -
week IN is article "a Dangerous Pre-,
-cedent" fairly sops over on all sides.
The writer was pretending to discuss
che legal proposition Of the right ol
wm. G. and Chas- r. White to bail,
pending their trial for murder in the
first degree. Presumably the article
vas written by Jos NJ Adams. the ed
iiorial writer for the paper. as he is
the only lawyer connected with the
force.
We have always questioned the
right or propriety Of newspaper trials
of criminal causes IN advance of the
courts. The men who are to serve on
the juries that try such causes. always
read the newspaper comments, If they
sread anything at all in the paper. and
the criticism, whether favorable OF un-
favorable to the accused, becomes so
fixed in the mind of the person read
ing il that it is impossible to eradicate
the idea from his mind, either by the
>evijence given at the trial, the In
structions og The court or the argu-
ments OF counsel. First impressions
are the strongest and most permanent
the human mind can receive The
truth of this proposition was most
.forcibly impressed upon us by an in
scident IN the Green trial that took
place last week. TIE prosecuting at

stnat he would prove, by the evidence.

examination OF the Witnesses the at

objection by the defense the court
ruled that the witnesses could only

Jurors that tried the case contended
after the trial. until he was convinced
of his error by one Of the attorneys for
the state and the judge, that the wit
ness testified to the frro assaults Pub
ltc journals. therefore, should be care
tul not to prejudice the case for the
state or to convict the defendant in
she minds Of possible jurors IN advance
of the sworn testimony. And the
courts ought to hold that any member

should be excused, for cause, from
bervice on the jury. His mind must
have become poisoned from reading

simply to express itself as to the gull
or innocence of the accused, much as
we reprohate such journalism, we
should not have noticed rhe article.
The winter. however. goes further, and
attacks the learning and, by necessary
implication from the argument. the
fairness and impariaiity of Judge
Hockaday. Knowing the judge to be
a fair-minded, honorable and learned

This youthful commentator on GRIM
inal law lays great stress on the fact
that wm- G. White is eks1yef with
murder in the first degree, and by Ais
logic not eligible to bail. If he had
had better knowledge Of the Law, or
had been better coached, he would
have known that ..the indictment is a
mere formal charge, and Is no evidence
of the guilt of the defendant Of the
crime charged"
The only evidence inc puvIc has Of
the nature and manner Of the bomi-
eide was thar detailed at the inquest.
And we submit that that evidence
taken by itself would hardly justify an
Indictment for murder in the first de-
gree. III other and higher evidence 10

Constitutional right governed solely by
die evidence. And in the present
case the presunp1on. with fair-mipded
people, is bound TO be that the learn
ed judge, who enjoys an enviable
reputation for fairness and Learning,
has wisely ererased the discretion
given hum, until the contrary is con-
ciusiveiy shown
When this young legal sproat says
that Judge Hockaday's action in fixing
bail fcr the defendants berays a preju-
dice on his part that would justify the
prosecuting attorney in requesting
Judge Rucker to call in another trial
judge, he simply makes himself ridicu-
lous and displays an amount of ignor.
ance that would be inexcusable In a
laynan. Jurisdiction in this case has
passed, by orders of record that cannot
be revoked or amended, from Judge
Rucker to Judge Hockaday. And
Judge Rucker would have Just as much
power to name another Judge to try
some case now pending before Judge
Hockaday in his own circuit as to re-
move him in this case. We fear
some one has been taking advantage
Of Brother Adams unsophisticatiou in
this matter. Brother Dismukes ought
to MAINTAIN clio ser watch over him to
keep him from bringing his paper into
ridicule.

but a branch Of Mr.. Corbin's road will
be constructed to Piere's lake either this
fall or next spring. In fact have it on
the best of authority that Mr.. Corbins
engineers will be in the field in a few
days. This work is not done for recon.
noissance for that was done long ago, but
to begin the preliminary steps toward
building the road. II is believed the road
will go no farther than Pieres lake this
year, but will be continued on next year
1t is intended to start from Northport and
cross the Columbia river on the new rail
road bridge being built by Mr.. Corbin for
the Red Mountain road
This viii be grand thing for the

in there of a character greatly desired By
