ton, the majorities ranging from 5000
to 10, 900 on the vote for six councilmen,

trolled.
In st. Louis, interest was conferred in
the council ticket, headed by the So

candidates TOO the places of some
democratic candidates for the house of
delegates in an effort to eliminate from
the house of delegates. the so-called

republican wards, the democrats elect

JULuE CAMPBELL'S ANSWER.
Denies Right of the Assembly to
Remove Him from Office.

Richmond, Va, April 6.-The answer
Of Judge Clarence j. Campbell of AM
herst county, to the alleged causes of
his removal, was presented in both
houses of the general assembly today
and ordered printed.
Judge Campbell denies the right Of
the general assembly to remove him and
sets forth his reasons in detail. One
of his main contentious is that he holds
office under the new constitution, which
he swore to support July 18th, 1902, and
that the assembly therefore, cannot
hold him amenable for any matters
which occurred prior to that date.
Another leading contention is that
cause Of remova can be warranted and
justified only by inquiry on the part of
the whole assembly sitting as a court.
The house alone to say nothing of one
Of it's committees is not competent, he
contends to ear charges and findings OF
removal

UTLEY CASE AFFIRMED.

Raleigh, n. c., April THE supreme
court affirms the sentence Of Edward
l.. Utley and he must now begin the
twenty year term in the p~enitentiary
for the murder of Clerk Hollingsworth
in the Lafayette Hotel at Fayetteville.
The opinion of the court, written by
Justice Montgomery, is unanimous.
The prisoners principal exception was
based upon the alleged error of the
trial judges charge, relating to man
slaughter. The court holds that in no
view of the evidence was Utley guilty
of any less offense than murder in the
second degree, therefore any
charge relating to manslaughter was a
harmless error.
Parker, a negro convicted of rape on
a negro child in Durham, gets a new
trial. Justice Walker writing the
courts opinion, holds that it was noI
competent for the solicitor to refer on
the cross-examination of the prisoner
to admissions made by the prisoner
under complusion of his oath in the
preliminary hearing.
