WAS GIVEN HER LIBERTY.
Judge Speer Would Not Accept
Martha Smiths Plea.

Martha Smiths Plea.
Martha r. Smith, of Waycross, who
was arraigned before Judge Speer in the
United States District Court yesterday,
and offered to plead guilty to an indict-
ment charging her with opening letter
not addressed to her, was permitted by
the court to withdraw her plea of guilty
and given her liberty.
There were other and more severe
charges in the Indictment but Judge
Speer said he entertained a reasonable
doubt of the defendants guilt and that
he would take the responsibility of CIV
eng her her liberty.
1t appeared that the defendant not only
had children of her own, but that she is
now burdened with the support of the
children of Mi.lard Smith, who pleaded
guilty to a charge of passing counterfeit
money a few days ago, and was sent to
the penitentiary at Nashville for year
Said Judge Speer in announcing his deter.
mination to give the defendant her lib
crt-:
THE court will take the responsibility
and let this poor woman go back to her
helpless little children. If the plea Of
guilty should be accepted / could not.
with respect to the public interest, do
otherwise than impose a sentence upon
her, which, under all the circumstances,
would not be, think in consonance with
the benignant and humane spirit of our
law. So, since il does not seem to me
that she is guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt, and since she is entitled to the
benefit of that doubt. and since you place
the responsibility on the court, l direct
that you discontinue the case"

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,

headaches and if we could always locate
the organ which is at fault the cure of
obstinate headaches would be a much
simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache. pain back of the
eyes and in forehead, the cause is now
known to be catarrh of the head and
