QUESTION FOR THE LAWYERS.
Had Evidence Abounded How Could sparnell
Rave Been Convicted.
Especial to the News and Observer

Especial to the News and Observer
Greensboro, n. c., July 15.-In the
trial of Sparnell yesterday for completely
in the lynching of the two negro boys
there a month ago there was no positive
evidence whatever against the man and
his discharge by Judge Shaw was based
on this ground.
Judge Shaw evidently thought so, but
would not make a ruling on it, reserVing
his decision until all the evidence was
heard when it was not found necessary
to pass upon this interesting question.
For a month Solicitor Hammer has
been examining witnesses privately be-
fore the coroner, under the authority OF
the act known as the Watson antl-lynch-
ing law, passed in 1898, and prepared by
Hon. c. b. Watson Among the men
who had been examined by Solicitor
Hammer before the coroner, and whose
affidavit was in court yesterday, but not
allowed to be introduced, was the de-
PENDANT Sparnell. The point was made
that the act absolutely pardoned Spar
nell even were he guilty, not from any
testimony he had given duplicating him
self and others, but from the simple fact
that he was called upon to make an af-
fidavit ard undergo an examination at
all. The point is so interesting and
plausible that the section of the act in
voked is appended
Public Laws 1893 chapter 46l, section
5. An act to protect prisoners confined
in Jail under the charge of crime until
they can be fairly tried by a jury Of
good and lawful men in court.
Section 5. In all Investigations before
q justice of the peace, coroner, judge,
grand jury, or courts and jury, On the
trial of the cause, as authorized by this
act or under existing law, no person
shall be excused from testifying touch
ing his knowledge or information in re-
gard to the offense being investigated,
upon the ground that his answer might
tend to subject him to prosecution pains
or penalties, or that his evidence might
tend to crminate himself, but no dlscoV-
cry made by such witness upon any
such examination shall be used against
him in any court or in any penal or crimi-
nal prosecution, and he shall when so
examined as a witness for the State be
altogether pardoned of any and all par
tcipation in any crime arising under the
provisions of this act or under existing
law, concerning which he is required to
testify"

EXCELLENT NOMINATIONS.

The Democrats of the Thirteenth Dis
trict were wise in their nominations for
Superior Court Judge and Solicitor.
Judge Council was elected in 1898 to fill
out the unexpired term of the late Judge
Green. He has presided with great ac-
ceptability and shown that he possessed
the true judicial temperament. He is
one of the States wisest public men, a
diplomat, leader, jurist of ability
He was born in Sumter, S. c., in 1858,
but comes from an old and distinguished
family of North Carolina. He studied
law at the famous old law school of Col
George N. Folk, at Lenoir. In 1881 he
began to practice at Boone, Watauga
county.
in 1883 he accepted the position as
klerk on the Committee of Expendi-
lures in the Department of Justice at
tober of that year, when he resigned and
resumed the practice of law. Suisse
quently he was nominated for the posi-
tion of Solicitor of the Tenth judicial
district. by the Democratic party but
owing to a mistake in the addition OF
the vote, his competitor was declared
the nominee. The mistake was discov-
cred and the successful competitor ten
dered Mr.. Council the nomination, which
he magnanimously refused, but with his
characteristic energy went into the cam
of the Democratic party. In 1894 he
received the nomination for Judge of the
Tenth Judicial district, being nominated
over Judge Bynum and others. After a
hard race he went down in the landslide
of Populism that stretched over the
State. Since that period up to 1898 he
refused all political preferment and at
tended strictly to his steadily growing
legal practice, which extends throughout
the State, he having been employed in
some of the heaviest litigation in the
state. In 1898 he was called upon by
his party to make the race for the House
of Representatives and was nominated
Nv reclamation. He made the race and
with an adverse Republican majority OF
SEQ staring him in the face he was tri-
umphantly elected by ever 100 majority

that IT needs no commentator.

for Solicitor, is lawyer Oh apliily' y

PROJECT BY MINISTERS.
Against Giving the Saloons Longer Hours Dur
ing the Conventions
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Greensboro, N. c., July 15.-The minis
tors of Greensboro have issued a circular
protesting against 1.-The recent action of
small majority of our city commission
ers in granting the request of the bar
keepers of Greensboro that their saloons
instead of closing at the accustomed hour
of 10 p. M, be allowed to remain open
till midnight during the sessions of the
Democratic and Republican State Con-
ventions." They claim that the action
was utterly unnecessary, uncalled for
and indefensible from any legitimate or
righteous point of view and among other
things that it was "a needless suspension
of wise and restrictive ordinance at the
very time when the best interests of
State and party, the cause of morality
and decency and every instinct of true
hospitality would demand that this ordi-
nance be kept in force
They declare in conclusion that the
action grossly misrepresents the feel
ings and desires of the vast majority of
The good people of our city" The pro-
test is signed by Egbert w. Smith, Sand

sMALL'S BIG SPEECH.

From all parts of the country have
come high tributes to the speech of Hon.
John H. Small in the closing days Of
the last Congress. 1t ought TO be widely
circulated throughout the country as an
immigration document. 1t will do much
to advertise favorably the resources of
the State The Manufacturers Record,
writing of Mr.. Small's speech. says:
Just before the adjournment of Con-
District of North Carolina, SUBMIT ed,
under the rules of the House of Repre-
sentatives, some remarks which ought
to have wide influence for the welfare
of his State. The remarks were quite
extended and were a splendid description
of the resources of North Carolina. With
a great deal of pains Congressman Small
had gathered and arranged in attractive
and comprehensive form an array of
facts about the climate, the people, the
agriculture the manufactures, the for
est. mineral and timber resources, the
fisheries and the educational conditions
in the State Circulated already in the
Congressional Record in all parts of the
country. the speech is to be scattered
broadcast in North Carolina and other
States 1t is really a condensed guide
to the investor and homeseeker, and
ought to direct greater attention Liam
ever to the opportunities in North
Carolina, and to encourage the people Of
that State and of other States to avail
themselves promptly of those opportu-
