Rcsiat It's Consideration In The
House OF Representatives..

AS stated by the Virginian- Pilot yes
tcrday Mr.. Young will disregard the
notice of DR.. II. a. Wise. that he (Wise)
proposes to take testimony after the
18th of March, in violation of law. 1t is
understood that DR.. Wise will have
subpoenas issued to compel the attend
ance of certain witnesses. In fact, these
would have been issued already in
some cases. but proper notice was not
given. and the Witnesses have not APP
Deared.
1t is said that subpoenas issued by
DR.. Wise after the 4th OF March will
be disregardcd because he is doing that
which the law says he shall not do. 1t
is not thought that the courts will pun
ish witnesses for refusing to obey the
order of notary public who is acting
in absolute disregard of the law. as en-
acted by Congress. To regulate the tax

saying that the company had a boat

amii'c the law in relation to Il conflict

was there held, that the court which
first acquired cognizance of the con-
troversy, or obtains possession of the
property in dispute, is entitled to retain
IL until the end of the litigation. and
should decide all questions which lc-
ultimately flow ont of the controversy:
that jurisdiction is acquired by the is,

OF conflict between courts of concur

smith was convicted in the Criminal
Court OF Atlanta upon an accusation
charging him with Keeping open tip

PENDANT filed n plea Of autrefois acmlit.
The record shows that on August |.
1878. defendant was tried in the Grim
iral Court of Atlanta upon an accusa-
ton charging that on July 81, 1898. he
retailcd whiskey and other spurious
liquors without license; that on this
former trial the State introduced the
same witness as in the last trial: that
their testimony was Identical in both
trials, and that defendant was acuuit-
ted in the first trial.
The Court says:
One of the assignments of error in
the motion for new trial was that
the court erred in failing to charge the
jury upon the plea of former acuui:tal.
we do not think there is any merit i'm
this exception. The offenses of retail
ing liquor without license, and keeping
open tipping house on the Sabbath
day, are separate and distinct Neither
Of them IS a necessary element in. and
essential part of, the other. Either of
them may be committed without per-
petrating the other. y person prose
cuted for either is in no jeopardy of
being convicted OF the other or of any
offensc which is an essential part of the
other.
1t may be noted that in Minor V.
State. 63 Ga. 3l9 ii appears that Minor
was tried for keeping open a tippling
house on the Sabbath day. ana also
for retailing liquor without license. and
was convicted in both cases. The point
that he could not be convicted of both
offenses appears not TO have been made.

New Orleans, June 27.-B B. Pears, brother of Frank Pears. who was killed by q sentry in San Pedro Span ish Honduras, on January 31. and whose killing was made the subject of official inquiry by the United States, reached New Orleans on the steam ship Breakwater last night. Pears ai- leges that the United States consul, Godfrey Hunter, has done nothing in the matter. Pears family will push the case at Washington. The Break water also brought over John B. Rich ards and w. H. Harris, who allege they were ejected from Guatemala by the government. The men say they discovered a gold mine in the province of Zacapa, where they washed Out $17 worth of gold in an hour. They went to Zacapa to have their claim record ed, but were warned by the authorities to leave the country. Disregarding this warning they went back to their claim ard on June IT Richards was arrested, Harris escaping. Richards says he was thrown into filthy prison al Zacapa. He wired MT. Hunter, the United States consul, but to no effect, and on the second day after his ar rest was taken to Port Barrios. There he was shipped on the steamship Breakwater and his fare paid to this country. He found Harris on the same ship. Richards and Harris are very in- dignant over their treatment and pro- pose to bring all the facts to the at tention of the authorities at Washing
