the large court-record book. He said
nothing and hush fell on the audience
which was only interrupted by his ac-
ton in addressing the counsel and the
prisoner before him.
"Are all the packages there?" he en-.

affirmative, he said

case has taken the scope it has. AS the

of the worst cases 1 have ever known.

Peculiar Plea.

On last Wednesday morning R. Lind
say Gordon, ESQ.,, of Louisa together
with Mr.. Harry Glenn entered an ap-
peal in the case of J. p. Eastman.
Bond in the sum of $500 was given for
Eastham's appearance In the Husting
Court and he left for Bumpass, Va. It
was alleged that Eastman was insane or
crazy at times.
1t was also announced that he had at
one time taken up from the grave
the body Of his dead brother and car
ried it to his room. This may be news
TO the people of his own county as well
as those Of Richmond city. While here,
he had given no evidence OF insanity,
but seemed to realize keenly the predic-
ament in which he had placed himself.

NEW SHORT STORIES
clad They Didn't shoot Him.

Glad Vhey D10n'f Sh00f Him.
Public curiosity as to who really Sc
cured to former Governor Thomas G..
Jones the appointment as federal dis
trict Judge in Alabama has lever abat-
ed, but it will be at last satisfied by
the following story told by b Mont
gomery correspondent Of the Louisville
Courier-Journal in connection with
President Rooseveit's first southern
Democratic appointment: The man
who did it was General Stewart l..
Woodford of New York. OF course he
didn't do it all by himself, but he first
suggested it long before Mr.. Mckinley
died and when 1t was expected hat
Judge Bruce would retire in February.
1902. General Woodford and Judge
Jones have been warm personal
friends for many years. General Wood
ford was working up the matter with
Mr.. Mckinley and had an easy thing
of it with Mr.. Roosevelt. All that Gov
ernor Jones ever did was to say he
would take the office.
The story was brought out by a sill
yer loving cup which Judge Jones sent
to General Woodford as a New Years
present. The principal inscription reads
DIS AOA1OWS. 1dpds 80 SldA wa
didn't shoot him. Meta" This inscrip-
ton tells h story and originated in
this way: When Mr.. Jones was ap-
pointed Judge and went up home to
dinner, the children put after him to
know who got it for him. He laughed
and answered, "Well. if anybody got it
for us 1t was General Stewart l..
Woodford."
-
what! That Yankee general who
took dinner with us that timer" asked
his little daughter Meta.
HE is the man." answered the gov
ernor.
'Papa, I'm so glad we didn't shoot
him!' exclaimed little Miss Meta.
And that is the story of a loving cup
hat has both sentiment and political
history carved on it's shining surface.
