JUDGE W|THHOLDS
HIS DECISION
Argument Over Crawford Case
in the City Circuit Court
Yesterday.

Decision in the case of the Rev. c. II.
Crawford superintendent of the Anti-Sa-
loon League. charged with being in con-
tempt Of the County Court of Amherst,
was withheld yesterday afternoon by
Judge B. r. Wexford. Of the City Cir
cult Court, that the question of the juris-
dction OF the Richmond court In the
matter may be the more thoroughly ex-
a-nined into. Judge Wexford will finally
pass upon the case tomorrow morning.
The case involves several important le-
sai questions and Is novel and interest
ing in the extreme. Great interest is telt
here in the outcome, as was evidenced
yesterday by the presence of several R1cn-
mond ministers and lawyers In the court
room during the proceedings Mr.. Craw-
ford was represented by 1uoee W
Mann, of Nottoway Courthouse, ana Mr..
Walter Sydnor, of this city. Judge Camp
bell. of the Amherst Court, had no attor-
ncy present.
Owing to the delay of Judge Mann in
getting here, the argument did not be-
gin until nearly one o'clock. The basis
of the objection made against the action
of the Amherst judge in issuing the rule
aud attachment against the minister was
that the act with which he was charged
did not, under the law, constitute con-
tempt The language used by Mr.. Craw-
ford in criticising the Judge was recog-
nized by Judge Mann to be libellous.
but as such 1t should be tried for libel
ard not for contempt. Since. under the
circumstances. one of which was that
the article in the paper had been written
after the conclusion OF the case to which
It referred. and hence could not
Fave interfered with that case,
the charge set forth in the
writ was groundess one. Mr.. Craw-
ford had right to disobey the sum-
mons Judge Mann held that he would
have been justified If by force he had
resisted arrest.
Authorities were cited to show that
the Richmond court in such case would
have jurisdiction to issue habeas cor
pas ard discharge the prisoner. Upon
this point the case hangs. Judge Well
ford was not sure that. he had right
to take action before the matter had
gone before the Amherst court and had
been acted upon there. To settle this
point he took the case under advisement
and will render decision on Monday.
The argument presented by Judge Mann
vas an exceedingly able one. He de-
clared that the action of Judge Camp.

tho press and the liberty of the indi-
vidual ard that II 1t were sustained these

Jhe Mysterious Disappearance
Of Flowers in the Jouh.
By ELLA F. MosBY, Lynchburg

Buckleya, which has disappeared from
all known places except two-Palnt ROCK,
in North Carolina, the refuge OF plants IN

Its foliage is delicate and graceful, ana
il bears oily little nuts of a rather agree

perpetual guest to this host plant, ana
doing no work for itself. In other words,
it is secret parasite, as the mistleIoe
is an open one. It is named after DR..
Buckley, who loved flowers, and sought
them under all kinds of difficulties:
Another namesake Of his. Buckley's st.
Johns Wort, has made a strange fitting.
It grew when first discovered IN Ala
bama. and its golden blossoms, with in
Vulnerable rich yellow stamina, made Its
appearance most brilliant and striking.
All at once it vanished, and has been
found again In the hlsh rock cIHS OIL
North Carolina, collectors searching every.
part of Alabama vainly for it. No one
knows the secret of its going. and it has
hitherto been known as a difficult flower
to transplant, and one that did not easily
adapt itself to new places.
The names of Buckley and Michaux
both have had unlucky associations
with plants. Nliclaux was the discoverer
of the famous Shortia, or little coltsfoot,
with flowers so unlike and leaves so like
those of the Galax. This plant was lost
quite as long as the sumach. which bears
his name and was found by chance far
from it's native place. Such strange wan
1erings might be called the romance of
plant life. and their mystery is most
interesting problem for some future OBJ
server to solve.
