EXTRAORDINARY LEGAL MESS
Ian Twice Tried in Norfolk Where
There Was No jurisdiction.

NORFOLK, VA, May PA most ex-
traordinary thing happened this morning
in the Corporation Court, where the trial
of VIM. o. Shipp charged with betraying
Miss Elizabeth Walker, was proceeding.
The jurymen were in the box and Miss
Walker, after being examined by the de-
Tense, was being cross-examined by Com
monwealth's Attorney venable. when 1t
developed that the alleged offense was
committed in Norfolk county.
Mr.. Venable Immediately entered nolle
proseuui and Judge Hanckel caused the
arrest OF Shipp upon bench warrant.
Shipp was shortly incarcerated in Nor
folk city Jail, and his attorneys, Messrs.
John G. Tilton and H. s. Ackiss. set about
finding County Judge VIM. N. Portlock.
whom, it is anticipated, they will ask to
admit their client to bail.
Before Judge Portlock, at Portsmouth,
Shipp must needs now be tried.
A singular feature Of the case Is that
Shipp was tried in Norfolk by Police JUS
>tice Taylor upon this same charge and
was discharged. He was afterward in
dicted by a Norfolk grand jury upon the
same charge and was tried In the Corpo-
ration Court. Here Jury disagreed, elev-
en- iusors voting for conviction. To-day
trial, therefore, was the third one. Until
it developed to-day by accident it was not
knows that Norfolk courts had not juris-
dictioo to try the case.

Att o'clock the visitors took special

The municipal election takes place to-
morrow, and there is reason to believe
that all of the Democratic candida tes
viii be elected. There are vigorous fights,
however, in the First, Second and Sixth
Wards for tho Council. and the Repub-
licans may be able to run in one or two
men. Their candidate for Mayor, Mr.. Nc
Callum, admittedly stands no show OF
winning, and the Republicans have no
candidates up for any, of the other larger
Offices. 1t is likely that the vote polled
BY the two parties tomorrow will be
smaller than the vote polled by the DEM
