ED BUTLER'S COMMENT
ON DECISION OF COURT.

Ed Butler drove up to the Four Courts
yesterday morning shortly after the decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court had been an
nounced. He was evidently feeling better
than In months. If the happy manner !r
which he greeted his friends may be taker
as an indication of his spirits.
Have you heard OF the decision?" he
was asked.
Il heard that they had been reversed and
that was enough for me-" he replied. Il
know nothing else about IT,
Then he turned the subject into different
channels and began discussing his new
buggy and team. While standing there he
overheard a reporter remark that Circuit
Attorney Folk had expressed much surprise
over the decision.
Instantly Buffers face changed.
"Did he tell you that?" he growled, be-
tween shut teeth.
That's certainly the way We understood
him."
''If he did," and his small eyes snapped.
''he told q lie. He knew when the indict-
ments were returned that these men would
never be sent to the Penitentiary. l know
men to whom he said that he expected the
Supreme Court would not sustain him.
What did you anticipate from the
court"
Buffers manner changed and he smiled
as he said. Well. knew 1t would be
good law. whatever that may be"
And then after Slancing in the courtroom
where the Hartman case was being tried.

for attempted bribery. he started to his
buggy. shook hands with the negro ianitor;
waved greetings to numerous friends. and
drove off.

makers prepared for their own protection.
Strangers are always given the clear
field, SO far as any possible leakage in the

positively impossible to, make any material
headway In blotting out the unlawful busi-
ness. To the average citizen of the shriners'
section his corn whisky is part of his life.
He drinks 1t every day while at home. and
When he goes to town or to Ieighbor's s
he takes his jug with him. the same as one
might carry his lunch. His father and his
fathers father before him did the same
thing. and his sons will follow the example
Among themselves they think no more of
they would a batch of corn bread: They
grow the corn, and they figure that the Gov
ernment has no right to tell them whether
they must make grog or grist of it.
1t was through one of these moonshine
processes that the deadly whisky was fur
nished the other day that poisoned six men.
The dead are Joe Adair. Wash Turner and
Dave Freddy. The three who are not
expected to recover are John Spivey, George
Fisher and Ed. Lewis.
Sheriff Bob Williams of Garland County,

OPINION UPHOlDs CIRCUIT ATTORNEY
IN SEvERA IMPORTANT POINTS.

Information OF the Supreme Courts deci-
sion in the doodle cases reached st. Louis
early in the morning ana created mich
comment Circuit Attorney Folk was In
| formed of the decision while he was en-
gagged In selecting a jury TO try the Emil
! Hartmann case in Judge Ryan's court.
He refused to discuss the decision FOR puo-
lication. but intimated that there would be
no easement of the Doodle prosecutions be-
cause of the opinion.
The cases have been strengthened since
the trials by the fact that five of the old
combine members In the House have turned
States evidence, whereas Paul Reiss. was
practically the only witness against the
| two defendants at the time of the first trial.
The contention of the Circuit Attorney
has been upheld in several important points.
Paul Reiss's testimony. in so far as 1t Is not
hearsay, is admitted as being not priv
ileged. The fact that the perjury took place
after indictments had been returned against
Murrell makes no difference. The indict-
ments were correctly drawn. the chief fault
being in the fact that the court made the
first instruction too broad and covering al
legations not made In the indictments.
Mr.. Folk probably will receive the official
received an unofficial copy of the opinion
by special delivery last night, Unless some
thing happens to prevent, he will try the
cases against Faulkner and Lehman by
the latter part of June, as he intends to
take no vacation this summer.
They are ALSO under indictment for brib-
cry. but the Circuit Attorney is confident
that an ultimate conviction may be secured
on the perjury charges.
In one way the opinion Is dog-fall,"
said an attorney yesterday. while Leh-
mann and Faulkner have secured a rever-
sal of the jurys sentence the law has been
made palmer in every way and the next
time that they face jury It will be with
odds against them. The court has estab-
lshed the fact that a witness can be COM
PEELED to testify about the criminality OF
others and unless he holds his constitutional
rights. lying puts him under the penalty Of
the law
Yesterday afternoon the other men, who
had been convicted in connection with local
boodling, rejoiced over the decision. They
held all but open carnival. Though they
did not understand the merit of the opinions
in detail they considered that suspension
