Like the Jester Case.

Monroe County has another murder
case similar to the famous Jester
case. Abe Witherup and young
man by the name of Grow were
cropping together on go acres of
land in the river hills north of Paris.
Recently Crows body was found
floating in the river where it had
been for several days. Thursday of
last week Witherup who is 90 years
old went to the home of the boys
parents near Paris to tell them their
son was missing. He was arrested
and has made sensational con-
fession. He says that he and young
Grow quarreled over question of
rent, and that he killed Grow with
a hatchet. The same night he
hauled the body of his victim three
miles to the river where he buried
the body and the hatchet. Return
ing he tried to remove all evidences
of the crime, scrubbing the blood
from the floor and wall and chisel-
ing it from the bottom of the wagon
bed. With red paint he painted the
broom handle and the rocking chair
into which the body fell. The local
attorneys refused to defend the
murderer, after which he made the
shocking confession.

THE POWER OF A TEACHER.

The power of a teacher lies in
his worth as a man rather than in
his skill as drill master, and his
title to grateful remembrance
will at last be found in those SER
vices that were inspired by SYM
pathy and affection, rather than
in the, conscious additions.

HE MAKES HARD CHARGES.
Malicious Prosecution and Worse
Alleged by Harvey. e.

A suit for an injunction and receiver
was filed by j. F. Harvey against j.
Ben Wilson, his former partner in bus
mess, in the Superior Court yesterday.
Sensational averments of fraud and
attempted misrepresentation of funds
are mades in the petition OF the plain
tiff.
The plaintiff AYERS that in Novem-
Der of last year he entered into a YER
bal contract of partnership with the
defendant by the terms of which
they were to carry on a wood business
under the firm name of Wilson & Har-
vey. Both contributed certain articles
to the partnership assets and Harvey
says the understanding was that Will
son should own two-thirds of these
assets, he should own one third and
that they should equally divide the
profits of the business.
The management of the business,
according to Harvey, was entrusted to
him solely and he carried 1t on, trans
forming it from failing and practi
cally bankrupt concern to a position
in which it was on a moderately we'll
paying basis.
Along in January it became manifest
to him that his partner was trying to
run him out of the business, without
permitting him to share in its profits
or assets, and things finally became SO
disagreeable he had to leave.
A week ago yesterday he says he
called upon Wilson and asked for an
accounting. He didn't get it, but on
the contrary Wilson told him he had no
interest in the business. and wound up
an exciting scene by calling in. a police
man and having Harvey arrested. Har-
vey says the case against him was
tried in the Police Court on the follow
ing morning and he was, then released.
Since that time Wilson has sworn out
a warrant against him charging him
with cheating and swindling, laying the
date of the ALLEGED offense at a time
when the men were not even ac-
quainted.
On this warrant he has been arrested
and compelled to give, bond
The plaintiff charges that the evident
purpose of the defendant is to force
him out of the business, by means of
malicious prosecutions and unfounded
criminal charges. He says he is de-
MED access to the books of the firm
and has no way of ascertaining the
amount owing him. ..-,..
The appointment of n receiver was
asked for. but this prayer Judge Bar
row declined to grant. He did grant a
temporary restraining order, however,
directing the defendants to appear in
court this morning and show cause
why an injunction should not issue
and a temporary receiver be named.
The plaintiff is represented by Mr.. Ja-
cob GaZan,

as fraudulent" are generic. Since
these counts do not state the partc-
ulars of the fraudulent claim, they do
not in my judgment meet the require
ments of the law
ITO the ninth and tenth counts
therefore the demurrer of the accused
must be sustained, and to the first
eight counts of the indictment it must
be overruled."
Judge Speer and Judge Brown.
1t is an interesting fact that the two
counts of the indictment pronounced
bad by Judge Speer are the only two
counts that received the commentator
of Judge Brown of the District Court
for the Southern district of New York.
when the latter was reviewing the de-
cision of Commissioner Shields, upon
the application for a warrant of re-
moval.
The defendants depend largely upon
this decision of Judge Brown to sup
port their case, and 1t is believed that
the fact that Judge Speer has demol-
ished the only two counts of the in
dictment in which Judge Brown found
nothing to object gave them consider
able satisfaction and was largely re-
sponsible for the withdrawal of thelr
motion to quash.
There is considerable speculation as
to the course District Attorney Erwin
Will now pursue and considerable lea-
son to believe that he will seek to Sc
cure, from the grand jury that Eas
been drawn and summoned and VIII
convene tomorrow, a second lndlcl-
ment against the defendants, covering
all of the alleged criminal acts charged
in the first or, perhaps, only those
which have been stricken from lne
pending indictment by Judge Speer
decision upon the demurrer.
The district attorney declined to put
the defendants upon notice what he IN
tended to do in this matter or TO ais
cuss it for publication, but there Is
every reason to believe he Is consldeI
ing it's advisability and many reasons
to think this the course he Will puI-
sue.

ATLANTA'S CITY COURT.
Arguments Heard by Supreme Court
to Its status.

as ~ St&ttuSs
Atlanta, Feb. 24-The Supreme Court
heard argument to-day on the question
of the status of the City Court of At
lanta. Oral arguments were presented
by Luther u. Rosser, Hoke Smith and
p. II. Brewster and written arguments
and briefs by several other lawyers.
The object of the bar was to have
the Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court
over writs of error from the City Court
sustained, if possible.
Elaborate arguments were made to
show that the constitution gives the
legislature the right to ch lnEe the jur-
isdiction and character of City Courts
without affecting their nights, and also
that the act of 1891, changing the City
Cour; of Atlanta was constitutional. 1t
was mentioned in the argument that
the character of the City Court of Sa-
vannah was materially changed in 1850.
yet the Supreme Court has continued
to entertain writs of error from it for
rearly twenty-five years without ques-
ton. IT is believed that, the Criminal
Court of Atlanta will be declared an
independent court and that appeals
from ii must go to the Superior Court
by oertiorari, but the bar is of the
op Mon that the present status of civil
branches of the City Court win be al
lowed to stand undisturDel.

sell. prominent citizen of Decatur.
charged with robbing the post office
at Brinson, was brought to this city
and given a commitment trial before
Commissioner u. Johnson, to-day. The

one occasion and by another party on
another occasion. 1t was claimed that
he had a skeleton key to the Office and
that he went in and out at will. 1t was
also claimed that he has taken various
amounts from the office, ranging from
$40 TO about $50. This was backed up
by strong circumstancial evidence.
Commissioner Johnson after hear
ing all of the evidence in
the case, fixed his bond at
$500 which was promptly given. ii
Is said that he came prepared to give
almost any amount OF bond required of
him. He was represented by Col. r. Il.

Says a well known ear specialist:
deafness in ninety per cent. of the
cases is the direct result of closure
of the eustachian tube Ga little pas
Sage-way leading from the middle ear
to the back part of the throaD from
a catarrhal Inflammation of it's mu-
cous memberane. Then follows
rarefaction of air in the middle ear,
with consequent intrusion of the
drum, and an impaction of the ossic-
ular arch with a gradual anchylosis
of the ossicular articulations, and a
progressive stenosis or the eustachian
tubes"
An editorial in The Medical Brief, a
journal published by and for physi-
clans and having the largest circula-
tion of any strictly professional med
ical publication in the world, says,
Q0-1901, P. 151T)
Deafness is becoming increasingly
common, and the frequent failure of
local treatment makes 1T necessary
that we look for systemic conditions
which may play a part in the contin-
uance of the trouble.
At least three-fourths of the cases
of deafness are due to catarrhal dis
ease involving the eustachian tube
Simply cleansing diseased mucous
surfaces, initiating the middle ear, in
jecting medieaments, etc, will make
no permanent impression so long as
constitutional conditions remain un-
changed.
Persistent medication with careful
attention to hygiene may yield an
amelioration of the trouble, and as
deafness is very great affliction,
hampering the individual in a busi-
ness way and shutting out much en-
joyment, even a slight improvement
is well worth working for
