STATE SUPREME
COURT DECISIONS
RULING AGAINST SWEAT
BOX" METHODS.
WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
Sovereign Camp Claimed a rlem-
Der Died of Smallpox and For
feited His Insurance.

jackson, Miss, May 20. According
to tile decision of the Mississippi Su :
prone Court in the case of Ammons
VS.. State, from tho circuit court OF
Warren county, sweatbox confessions
obtained from pisonorrs are not COM
petent evidence on which to secure
conviction. The evidence showed
that Ammons has been put through
the sweating" process by the Chief of
Police of Vicksburg and in despera-
ton finally confessed to the crime.
The Supreme Court now reversed the
case and declares that confessions
must be wholly voluntary ana not ex-
torted by any questionable method.
Another important point of law
passed upon WIS in the case Of the
Sovereign Camp, Woodmen Of the
World, vs.. Mrs J. L Woodruff, from
the circuit court of Bolivar county.
In joining the Order Woodruff had
signed certificate to the effect that
the Woodmen would be absolved from
liability in case he died of smallpox
before being successfully vaocinated.
In the lower court trial the Order
offered to show that Woodruff had
diea of smallpox, but it was held
that this was not competent, owing
TO the fact that it had already been
shown by competent evidence shat he
had been successfully vaccinated,
and in reading the decision Associate
Justice Calhoun took occasion to re-
mark that vaccination is not always
an absolute preventative of small-pox
even if the operation be successful,
and that many eminent medical au-
thorities are agreed ON this point.
In the suit OF Lusby VS. Cobb, from
the chanoery court of Washington
county, the main point at issue was
the property Of aelta Planter who
died leaving an estate valued at 500,
900, and the will bequeated the prop
erty to "all my blood kind.
The heirs setting up claim under tho
will we're the children OF two deceased
children and two half brothers, and
the children attempted to have the
half brothers ruled out on the ground
that they were not of "blood kin. :"
Tho Supreme Court held otherwise.
The affirmation of the death SEN
tence of Will Mathis sets aside the
hope of triple hanging in Lafayette
county, as the Owens and Lester
cases were not passed upon Mathis
was convicted of the murd, of the
Montgomery brothers, deputy United
States marshais, and in sotting the
tdate of execution for the Gath of
June Associate Justice Calhoon char
acterized 1t as the most horrible muir
der in the criminal annals of Missis-
sippi Owens and Lester were accom-
plioes in the crime, and 1T is expected
that their GASES will be decided next
Monday.

John W. Gates, who has for four
years startled Wall street by the mag

was recently elected member of the
Chicago board of trade. His applica-

result of a ruling of the directors, that
all special partners of n house doing

ago Col. Gates commenced his specu-
lative career as an operator in oats on
the board of trade, but failed to make
success of grain trading. Then he
turned his attention to making barbed
wire and sold more than any other
man who ever went on the road. He
was one of the first to introduce it
into Texas, and at convention OF
cattlemen in San Antonio, bnilt fence
in the plaza to show the stock men
how it would work. His operations as
manufactures of steel, Il promoter
of railroad interests, an organizer and
a speculator have put him in the front
of men who were giants when he was
Il novice. His latest coup in Louisville
n Nashville is still fresh in the mem
ories of the speculative world.

for these two, to whom love meant SO

FOR these two, to whom love meant SO
much. Some people take this sort Of
thing easily and some not so easily,
but love for woman like this comes
once only to a man, and then he car
ries it with him through the length of
his life and warns his heart with it in
death. And when man smiles or
snecrs nj such love rs this | pity him
and say no word. for my speech would
he in an unknown tongue. SO my
heart was sore as | sat.s)oEing up at
this woman who stood before me, over
flowing with the joy of her new love,
and duly conscious of the coming
pain. But soon found it was vain to
ur"c my opinion that she should re-
main and share the work and life of
the man she loved. She only answer
ed:
you will help him all you can, for 1t
will hurt him to have me GO
The quivcr in her voice took out all
the anger from my heart, and before l
knew had pledged myself to do all l
could to help him.
But when | came upon him that
night. sitting in the light of his fire, l.
saw he must be let alone. Some bat
ties we fight side by side, with COM
radcs cheering us and being chcered to
victory, but there are fights we may
not share, and these are deadly fights,
where lives are lost and won. So l
could only lay my hand upon his shoul-
der without word. He looked up
quickly, read my face and said, with
grOan:
You know?"
81 could not help It. But why
grOan?"
"She will think it right to CO." he
said desperately.
"Then you must think for her. You
must bring some common sense to bear
upon the question"
II cannot see clearly yet" he said.
"The light will come"
May l show you how l see it,"
asked.
Go on" he said.
For an hour talked, eloquently. even
vehcmently, urging the reason and
right of my opinion. She would be do
ing no more than every woman does, no
more than she did before. Her moth
er-in-law had comfortable home, all
that wealth could procure, good serv-
ants and friends. The estates could be
managed without her personal super
vision. After few years work here
they would go east for little Marjorie's
education. Why should two lives be
broken? And so went on.
He listened carefully, even eagerly.
You make good case" he said,
with slight smile. 81 will take time.
Perhaps you are right. The light will
come. Surely it will come. But" and
here he sprang up and stretched his
arms to full length above his head, Il
am not sorry. Whatever comes l am
not sorry. 1t is great to have her love,
but greater TO love her rs | Go. Thank
God, nothing can take that away. | am
willing, glad, TO suffer for the joy of
