This case came up before the
chancellor while chancery court was
in session this week, but was taken
under consideration and up to the
time of adjournment Thursday. no de-
cision had been rendered. Judge
Deavours, as before stated, wished to
Ie-read the testimony, which was
identical with that given in habeas
corpus trial of few weeks ago. This
decision is of much interest to many,
sa the case has attracted no inconsid-
reable amount of attention.
The attorneys in the case in the
defense of Mr.. Burt were Ellis & Sui
livan and Hartfi Id & McLaurin, two
of Hattiesurg's most brainy ,aw firms.
and as the case was most difficult
one, the result speaks much for their
legal ability.
