HOT CRITICISMS OF
JUDGE CHILDRESS.
His Action In Granting Bail to
a Lincoln County Murderer
Prompts Demand That
He Be Impeached.
Special to the Herald.

Fayetteville, July 25.-Mayor D. M.
Goodner's letter in the Lincoln County
News of this morning is the subject of
much discussion The letter is quite
scathing in its denunciation of Judge
Childress' action in permitting Charles
Wadde, who is under life sentence for
the killing of Policeman Nevil, and
whose case is now pending in Supreme
Court, to give bail. DR.. Goodner dis
cusses the alleged facts leading up to
legal phases and probable consequences
of Judge Childress' action in very spirit
ed terms. In conclusion he says:
"Public feeling has got to be reckon
ed with and the Judge who deliberately
sits in one part of the State and unlaw-
fully and inexcusably presses wire that
shocks whole community in another
part of the State, ought to be i'm
peached.''

B. j. Even departed from Cythiana,
KY Sunday night when informed by
Col Williams that he could offer him no
military protection during the trials of
Jett and White, scheduled to begin to-
day Col. Williams action was due to
clash with Circuit Judge Osborne.
Judge Osborne gave orders that no
militia should be permitted about the
Jail or courthouse or within sight of
the jury. He offered to allow six men
to wear citizens clothes and be sworn
in as Deputy Sheriffs to protect jet
and White, but would permit no escort
for witnesses. Col. Williams refused to
let his men serve save as soldiers. and |
declared to Judge Osborne he could not |
under the orders guarantee the safety |
of prisoners or witnesses. Col. Will |
Jams informed Even, and Even at once
left Cynthiana. Other witnesses may
also leave, considering their lives IN
safe without escort. If they do leave
the case OF the Commonwealth will be
materially weakened if forced into a
trial. Judge Osborne explains his Or
der by saying there is no danger of an
attack upon the jail or witnesses and
he does not propose to have persons
& olng to the courthouse stopped by the
militia.

A GLIMPSE OF GIBRALTAR.
Associations Make It Disappointing
 After First Glance.


 It is just possible to be impressed by the first glimpse of Gibraltar; but soon the recollection of the innumerable pal try and criminal uses to which it has been applied, in literature and in pict- ure. crowds in to disenchant and be little. It is hard to keep yourself to the thought Of what must have been itj effect on those who saw it first 1t is a rock which conCeals a town in one of it's folds, and contains a fortress which is still formidable; it may. ore day look down upon and participate in the greatest sea fight that ever the world saw. And yet there seems to be something little about Gibraltar; so vast for rock, it is not much for mountain.
 I much prefer to stand upon Gibral- tar and look across the strait towards Morocco, land of hidden treasure, mys- tery and danger, and so lovely to the eye that it fairly makes the heart ache. And then turn towards the east and sail on in imagination down the match less, distorted, immemorIal sea, with a coast on either hand which nature and man have combined to make the most attractive on earth.
