The case of State v. George Emblem
affords an illustration of how injudi-
cious it is to monkey with courts OF
justice upon some occasions.
Emblem, it will be remembered, was
indicted for the McNamee jewelry store
robbery, as we'll as for the burglary OF
the Heiner residence on the Island.
He was convicted upon the jewelry
store case and was sentenced to five
years, but upon appeal to the Circuit
Court, Judge Hervey awarded him a
new trial.
The State then shifted its ground,
and tried him upon the Heiner case,
and he was again convicted and was
sentenced to eight years. His counsel
took an appeal to the Circuit Court,
which this time sustained the verdict
in the court below. Then an appeal
was taken from the Circuit Court to
the Supreme Court of the State, the
style of the case being: State of West
Virginia, plaintiff below, defendant in
error v. George Emblem, defendant be-
low, plaintiff in error, the application
being for writ of error and superse-
diets from the judgment of the Grimm
al Court of August 80, 1898, and OF the
Circuit Court of October II, 1893. Yes
terday the mandate of the Supreme
Court was received, and it was there
in announced that the Court found no
error in the proceedings Of the tribun-
ais below, and that the judgment of
the Criminal Court of Ohio County was
affirmed. This sends defendant 10 the
penitentiary for the term of eight
years, after serving a long term IN
Jail, whereas, if he had taken the .irst
sentence of five years, he would have
practically have completed two years
of it by this time, and that, with good
conduct allowance, would have been
nearly half of the term given him.

Havana's Chief Of Police ~
Gen. Ludlow.

Havana, Jan. 11.-Col. 9. N. Moulton,
of the Second Illinois regiment, who
has been in command of the Havana
police, has been relieved of police duty
and will 60 to his regiment. He will
deliver up the papers of his department
to John Gary Evans, who, apparently,
is to be mayor Of Havana, and Cuban
chief of police will probably be ap-
pointed at once. Col. Moulton's trans
fer to his regiment is due to incompati-
bility of temper with Gen. Ludlow and
to the latter's determination to lay
aside much of Col. Moulton's police
plans. Just how be will discard has
not yet been discovered.

A QUEER FINDING.
Said Court of Caxsation Will Find

inquiry of the court of cessation into
the Dreyfus case is on the point Of ter
minating. and that the court will prob
ably report that acts of treason actual.
>ly occurred, but that sufficient proc:
of the guilt of Dreyfus does not ex-
ist and that his sentence. therefore, is
quashed. The papers add that there
will be a fresh cou1r-martial. Drey-
fus, it appears, was informed of the
revision proceedings some time ago.

are due to the nitiative IT the general
