principle that characterized his entire

of his fathers. He commended tic
example of Judas Maccabeus as one to

Case Postponed.

As was stated in the Gazette, the
ATTORNEYS for John NJ. Hill, who is
charged with conducting poolroom at
St. Asaph. secured postponement OF
the case at a hearing on Saturday after
I'm. ana announced that they would
not be bound by their promise to keep
closed until the case is settled. This
announcement was not made in open
court. but at a conference between Judge
Charles E. Nicol, Commonwealth At
torney Crandall Mackey and Col. Fran
els l.. Smith, Edmund Burke and G. Q.
Carln, attorneys for John NJ. Hill. At
that conference HIPS attorneys tried TO
get Mr.. Mackey to agree to postpone
ment. Judge Nicol had received tele-
gram that a very dear friend of his was
dying at Chevy Chase, and he said he
could not give much time to the hearing.
1t was finally agreed that Judge Nicol
would give each side an hour in which
to argue the case. 1t was then that the
attorneys for Hill practically announced
that the poolroom would resume soon.
The case came up under a demurrer to
petition for a writ of prohibition re-
straining Justice Jonathan r. Hagan
from sitting in the trial Of John NJ.
Hill, charged with conducting a pool
room and bookmaking establishment at
st. Asaph in violation Of the gambling
laws of Virginia. Immediately upon
the opening of court Attorney G. G.
Carlin fled an objection to the hearing
of the case on the ground that the no
tice Of the date Of the hearing on the
demurrer filed by Commonwealth Attor-
ney Mackey was incorrect. Mr.. Carlln
stated that the name in the notice was
to James NJ. Hill, whereas the indict-
ment was against J. NJ. Hill, whose
name is John NJ. Hill. lnasmuch as
the name was incorrect, they claimed
that they had received no notice of the
hearing, to which they were entitled.
Mr. Mackey opposed a postponement Of
the case. and remarked that the attor-
neys were anxious to gain time so that
the poolroom might reopen and pay
their fees. This brought Col. Smith to
his feet with a strenuous objection. Mr..
Carlin made no objection. Mr. Burke
then spoke at length in reply to Mr.
Mackey, who, he said, had made many
misstatements. Judge Nicol finally de-
cided that he was bound to sustain the
objection that the hearing proceed, on
the ground that the notice was made cut
with wrong name. The case will come
up in the Circuit Court of the county
which meets on June 81. By the post
ponement of the hearing Mr.. HIPS at
torneys practically gain the point of the
original petition, which was that Justice
Hagan be prohibited from sitting in the
case. Since that petition was filed a
new law has gone into effect which
makes it compulsory that such cases
shall be tried by justices of the peace
within the district in which the ohense
was committed. This will take the case
out of Justice Hagan's hands.
