Some of the Gloom Dispelled in
the Perkins Case.
Two Warrants Dismi ssed and an APP
peal Taken in the 300
Fine Case.
WAS SENSATIONAL YESTERDAY
TODAY'S FEATURES.

Today's session Of the police court
was tame and insipid as compared
with the sessions yesterday morning
ami afternoon. There was another
large crowd on hand to hear the "Dr."
A. Perkins case, and the impression
left on every body was that the lamb
and the lion are willing to lie down
together. igurstively speaking. In
other words, the people in the doc
tors" company seem to have stirred
up such mess that they are all will
ing to let up one on the other in order
to get out of 1t all.
When the case against VIM. Stanley.
the manager for Perkins, for insult
ing Miss Ethel Hubbard, was called
this morning Attorney Jesse Moss
asked that 1t be passed for few mo-
ments.
A motion for new hearing in the
case against Perkins, who YVES yester-
day fined 500 and costs for breach
of the peace, was then taken mp and
after a brief conference of attorneys,
overruled by Judge Sanders, and an
appeal asked and granted.
Attorney Thomas E. Moss gave the
court his word that an appeal bond
would be promptly executed at the
court house, and upon this assurance
the doctor was ordered released.
Attorney Jesse Moss then arose and
stated that last night VIM. Stanley,
the young man who had made often
sive remarks at yesterdays session of
court, a. detailed below, sent for him,
Attorney Mess, and said that he want
ed 10 eifer bis sincere apology for
what he said that he did not mean -
as it seemed to be taken, and was very
sorry it bad been so construed. He
asked the attorney to apologize pub
licly for him, to the court as well as
the public, aud asked that the court
extend as much leniency as possible.
Judge Sanders stated that he did not
know except from hearsay what the
/, young man had said, but that an apol-
oo, was always commendable and in
order and showed the spirit of gen.
tlemsu. Hs therefore thought that
the young man was entitled to Glenn
ency and ieniency, especially wheb he
said his statement was misconStrued.
The warrant against Stanley was
then taken up and there was some
doubt about the advisability Of prose-
outing 1t, as it was issued on his own
statement. Attorney Gilbert said he
wanted to look into it further, how
ever, and 1t was continued over until
tomorrow and the defendant released
on bis own recognizance. The auth
critics here today received telegram
from Memphis stating that Stanley
comes from a good family and is sll
right.
YESTERDAY AFTER
MOONS COURT.
Judge W. A. Berry tried the case
against Perkins yesterday afternoon,
as stated In yesterdays paper He
was charged with having taken undue
liberties with Miss Ethel Hubbard.

Miss Gertrude Lynch Of Memphis. IL

that separate warrants be issued
against Perkins on the complaints
made by the young ladies, and so Or
dered.
The first case heard was that Of Miss
Lynch, the girl who claims to be only
IA years old. About all developed
was that on pretext of "rehearsinR"
her Perkins had taken liberties with
her, but only such as he had taken
with her three times before she left
Memphis with him and came to Padu-
cab. The warrant against Perkins for
this was promptly dismissed.
The warrant sworn out by Mis-
Hubbard was next heard, and during
the taking OF the testimony there were
sensational Incidents that came near
resulting in a fight Vim. Stanley.
