The Mitchell County Case

The case of Mitchell county against
the Paducah City National bank was
decided by our supreme court yester-
day. It involved the question of the
validity OF several million dollars of
court house and Jail and bridge bonds
Issued by various counties in Texas.
Mil'ard Patterson, of this city, COM
menced tf e acton in the district court
of Mitchell county, taking the position
that section I, Art. XI of the consiitu-
ton has no application to inland coun-
ties or to such bonds, and that it was
not necessary for the commissioners
court a the time of the issuance OF
such Dor DIS. to pass any order respect
ing the levying of q tax to pay the
interest and provide sinking fund for
same, and that the legislature in pro.
viding for the Issuance of such bonds
made all of the provision contemplated
by the constitution. His position was
sustained by the trial court, aud the
court of civil appeals at Fort Worth
and is now sustained by the supreme
court aud the bonds held valid 1t was
on account of the danger anticipate
from this case that the constitutional
amendment WAS submitted last August
to validate such bonos in the hands oil
the school fund. It was voted down
becaIse the people recognized the
amendment as unjust and dishonest in
its discrimination against outside par

that the homicide should inspire the

to his carnal and brutal instincts. By
this means homicide would diminish,
since one of the strongest of modern
motives for this crime, namely, imita-
tion and love of notoriety, would be
removed. When we think of the enor-
nous interest Holmes succeeded in
arousipg, the hundreds of letters he re-
ceived in Jail, his autographs scattered
far and wide, his portrait and his ev-
cry act published ia thousands of news
papers-when we think of al this, we
can understand what must have been

powerful incentive was furnished
