An Old Territorial Case.

Joseph r. Morris attorneys have still
Morris can be tried on the long pend
ing charges against him of agreeing to
accept a bride while acting as county
selectman, the case must be reviewed
by the supreme court of the United
States.
The crime with which Morris is
charged was committed while Utah was
a territory, and after many delays and
postponements, County Attorney Put
nam attempted to empanel jury of
twelve men TO try him at the last De-
cember term of the district court. Judge
Hart of the First judicial district re-
fused to do this, holding that the pro-
vision of the constitution making eight
men legal precluded the possibility of
empaneling jury of twelve.
The case was taken to the state SUI
preme court on an application for a
writ of mandamus, and a short time
ago the supreme court handed down an
opinion directing Judge Hart to en-
panel jury of twelve and try the
case.
Messrs. Loofbourow & Loofbourow
and Powers, Straup & Lippman, who
are Morris attorneys, decided immedi-
ately not to let the case rest here, and
a writ of error is to be sued out to
the supreme court of the United States.
Judge Hart was the nominal defend
ant in the case in the supreme court.
and his consent to the appeal of the
case is now being awaited before the
appeal is perfected. He has been COM
municated with on the subject, and it
is practically certain that he will ac-
quiesce in the matter, as he is not in
any way directly interested save as the
judge who ruled for the defendant in
the lower court

diseased leg treated by Dr. Pinkerton.
Twelve years ago, he fractured his shin
bone. and. being but a foolish boy, did
not tell any one what had occurred. but
the swelling and distress was thought by
his mother and others to be caused by
rheumatism. Shortly after the mishap
he refused to permit any one to see the
limb and has steadily persisted in that
course in all these years. though sores de
veloped from which he removed pieces of
broken bone himself. Last fall he re-
ceived bruises which aggravated the
trouble and recently a stick of wood
struck the injured member which rendered
it so distressing that the young man be
came alarmed. DIR. Pinkerton found 1t
unnecessary to amputate the limb. This
done he is getting along nicely.
