JUDGE AND JURY QUAILED.
How Hon. Casslus M. Clay Won a
Big Murder Case With an
Awful Look.

The following story is related of the
mower of Gen. Casslus M. Clay as an
orator:
A man was once being tried for
murder and his case looked hopeless
indeed. He had. without any seem
ing proyocatiop, murdered one of his
neiphbors in cold blood. Not lawyer
in the county would touch the case. 1t
looked bad enough to ruin the reputa-
ton of any barrister.
The man. as a last extremity, APP
pealed to Mr.. Clay to take the case for
him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse. But when the
celebrated lawyer looked into the
matter his fighting blood was aroused,
and, to the great surprise OF all, ne
accepted.
Then came trial, the like Of which
has seldom been seen. Cay slowly
carried on the case, and it looked more
and more hopeless. The only ground of
defense the prisoner had vas that the
murdered man had looked at him with
such fierce, murdcrous look that out
of se!fdefense he had struck first. A
ripple passed through the Jury at this
evidence.
The time came for Clay to make ms
defense. 1t was settled in the minds OF
the spectators that the man was guilty
of murder 10 the first degree. Clay
calmly proceeded, and laid all the proof
before them in a mastery way. linen,
Just as he was about to conclude, he
played his last and master card.
"Gentemeh Of the jury" he said, as
Stunning the fiercest, blacklist look, and
carrying the most undying hatred in it

That was all he said, but that was
enough. The Jury was startled, and
some even qualled in their seats, Inc

According TO the laws which gov.

piled with the Cherokee Law by
obtaining a license from the Cher

rights, and therefore are votersS
Those who failed 10 obtain such
license are not voters. After June

no such license could be obtained
az the Office OF district clerk was
abolished by said act, Those
whites who have married Chero.
kse women since said date are not
qualified voters. Freedmen whose
citizenship is pending, and who
have at any time been recognised
voters in the Cherokee election9
should be allowed TO vote; thoss
who have been rejected finally

In short, all bona ide citizens Of
