Judge Clancy Releases Murphy
on q Habeas Corpus.
EVIDENCE WAS LACKING
Mrs. Murphy Lost Her Arm Through

ing to Send Him &c Prison Tor
the Fiendish Act.

Pat S. Murphy was discharged from
custody yesterday morning by Judge
Clancy on a habeas corpus. because the
fellows wife. who lost an arm through
his fendish brutality. had refused to
furnish the testimony necessary to
hold him to trial in the district court.
Judge Clancy reviewed the testimony
taken at the preliminary hearing before
Justice L~aurandeau several weeks ago.
and decided hat there was not sum
cient reason or probable cause shown
for holding Murphy to the district
court.
w. w. Johnston, stenographer Of the
lower court, was required to read his
notes of the report, and they showed
that Mrs. Murphy had refused to tes-
tify against her brutal husband, and
o not tell about how he caught
her arm in a cellar door and then slow
ly and fiendishly poured boiling water
on ii until the flesh was cooked and the
arm had to be subsequently amputated.
D'Gay Stivers. who was the deputy
county attorney. conducted the pre-
liminary hearing, and when Mrs. MUIR
ply refused TO testify against her hus-
band, he went on the witness stand
n testified as to the previous state
ments she had made. Other similar tes-
timony was offered. and or ii Murphy
was bound over to the district court.
Judge Clancy decided that such testi-
mony was incompetent n that there
was nothing on which Murphy could
be held inc ordered his release. TIL

have asked for Murphy's release at the

that she has gone back to live with him

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inllamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh. which is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness tcaused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall S
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

"A MENaETTss.

To the memory of my darling
sister Mary Ella Hogan, nee Mary
Ella Smith, who died at Martha
vile, La, on July 18TH, 1898;
aged % years, three months and
20 days. A native of Evergreen.
La.
At II o'clock in the morning
our dear one fell asleep in Jesus :;
''That blessed sleep from which
none ever wake to weep"
She lived q devoted christian
life from early childhood up to her
death having joined the Christian
church when but a child. In the
year 1889, she joined the Seventh
Day Adventist church, from that
time on she worked for the up
building Of Gods kingdom.
She spent while in canvassing
for religious literature in Shreve-
port, then took an active part in
the Marthaville church. To know
her was but to love her.
She was q true and devoted
christian wife, mother, daughter
and sister.
She was confined to her bed for
several weeks, during which time
she bore her great affections with
mcekness and humility. She was
fully resigned to the will Of God,
in being taken from this life. Ae-
corIing to her desire we placed
her to rest in the Evergreen cemc-
terry. A large number of her
friends and relatives were there to
pay the last tIibute Of respect.
She had a number Of relatives and
friends who rendered her all the
possible kindness.
Although she received the kind
attention of her dear ones, and the
treatment of three physicians, it
was of no avail.
She left three little boys, the
youngest being 4 months old, the
oldest being 6 years old.
Her loving voice ended in giving
advice to these little ones: She
said, tell ''them to be little dar-
lings, and to live like Jesus, and
to meet Mama"
Her last words were, ''I'm hap-
py, Jesus is with me-" Thuashe
passed away quietly and calmly.
Oh +! how we miss our darling
from our home!
There's still a vacant chair. How
hard it is for US to give up our
dear Ella, yet we try to be resign
ed when we realize that our loss is
but her gain.
''Rest in peace, beloved one;
All thy laoors now are done.
Gladly thou Gidst bear thy burden
From the dawn til set of sun.
But the Master whispered softly;
Come, my well-beloved, and rest;
Thou hast la5ored in my vineyard,
Sleep; thy pillow is my breast"
