JUDGMENT GIVEN
 FOR DEFENDANT.
Lorch's Suit for 5000 Damages Ends in Verdict for
 Hemingway.

Little Rock, Nov. 25. "A jury in the second division of Pulaski circuit court yesterday decided in favor of the defendant in the suit of Louis Lorch vs. w. L.. Hemingway. Lorch sued for 5000 damages, claiming that he was injured to that extent as the result of an assault upon him by the defendant in the Exchange National Bank, of which defend- ant is assistant cashier.
 When the case was called yes terday a motion was entered by the plaintiff for a continuance, on the ground of the absence of a witness for the plaintiff. It was admitted by the defense that the absent witness would t estify as claimed by the plaintiff, if he were present, and the trial therefore proceeded. The contention of the defense throughout was that Lorch pro- voked the defendant into strik- ing him.
 Shortly after 4 o'clock in the afternoon the case was given to the jury and within a few min utes a verdict was returned in favor of the defendant, award ing nothing to Lorch.

Miss Dorothy Stephens Makes a Big Gain in Vote Today.
 Other Changes.

James Edward Wilmans is again in first place, after a day in the wake of the leader, and Miss Dorothy Stephens polls the largest vote for the day, placing her at the head of the girls, with a total of 375. The boys,, who thought the girls were no run ners at all, will yet be shown a thing or two, for this contest was for beauty and sweetness, and mankind by large majority usually sides with femininity on this subject. 7

c0trtS ;aBQ ms Hnal nope ,Ol llil- munity from punishment to rest with his texcellency, it looks like poer politics, to say the least, to have Judge Merriman figure so prominentty and in the man. ner above related in the cause of the defendant.
 WITNESSES IN CASE.
 Jesse Zimmerman testified to having sold Roberts the watch and to a later visit by the de- fendant, when he promised to send a check fer same.
 Policemen MeDaniel and Felix Houck testified to having heard from Roberts his story of how he intended to make it appear that Gregory had stolen the watch.
 Shem Key. the Little Rock street car conductor who went with Roberts to the DeVere house, corroborated the state- ment of the other states wit nesses, none of whom thought Roberts was drunk when he planned the scheme.
 The defendants plea was that he had imbibed too freely on a visit to Little Rock and project ed the scheme for which he was on trial. Louis Lorch, his only witness, testified that he was in a beastly state of intoxication about the time he was said to have visited the DeVere house.
 Judge Trieber of the Federal court has issued an order citing Roberts to appear in his court on Dec. 6 and show cause why he should not be disbarred from practicing before that court.

ROBERTS CONVICTED
 OF CONSPIRACY.
Plea of Defendant Was Tkat Act Was Committed UnknowTng- ly While Drunk-Smafl
 Fine the Penalty.

returned verdict of guilty last night and assessed fine of $50. The Arkansas statutes did not cover the crime and the state was compelled to fall back on the common law.
 Roberts was tried on a charge of conspiracy to send Walter Gregory to the penitentiary on a trumped-up charge in order to disqualify Gregory from testify ing against him in his appeal case before the White county circuit court.
 Gregory is the young man whose confession of his connect ion with the famous Lightle in- surance swindle led to the con- viction of both Roberts and Dr. R. G. Lightle upon charges of grave robbery.
 Witnesses testified that Rob- erts gave an inmate of house of prostitution gold watch with the understanding that she was to place it in Gregory's pocket and then have him arrested for stealing it. Gregory was to be enticed into the house by con- federate, who was to introduce him to the woman.
 Marie De We're testified that she agreed to carry out the scheme and was to receive $lOO for her work. She afterward changed her mind and informed the police of the plot and other witnesses later corroborated the woman.
 Roberts took the stand and tes- tifed that he was drunk and had no recollection of what took place in the house. He admitted buy ing the watch on credit, but did not remember what disposition he mado of it.
 The attorneys for the defend- ant, Judge F. M. Fulk and Judge E. M. Merriman of Little Rock, and Judge M. M. Stuckey of Newport filed notice of appeal.
 GOVERNORS NAME FIGURES.
 During the cross-examination of the DeVere woman, who had previously testified that Roberts, in approaching her, had repre- sented himself to be the govern or's secretary, and had stated that if she would carry out the plot, both he and the governor would be greatly pleased, a nov- el and rather complicated incl dent developed.
 Judge Merriman, who was chairman of the legislative in- vestigating committee and had no particular love for the gov- ernor and by his activity in that prosecution, caused the governor to look up his past record, in which it was found that he had been discharged from the federal army for gross immortality, was directing the cross-examinatlon and was exploiting at consider able length this. part of Roberts plan to pass off for the govern or's secretary, when Merrlman's co-counsel, Judge Fulk, who has been styled Jeff's Little Rock pardon broker, plped Tn ana asked that this whole matter be stricken from the testimony and the court ruled in his favor.
 Politics makes strange bed fellows, but none stranger than the defense of Roberts has brought about. The spectacle IS presented of one of his counsel trying to place the governor in a bad light and another seeking tc protect his good name.
 If the convictions of Roberts are to be sustained in the higher

SPECIAL SESSION OVER A BUG
Little Boil WeevIi Has Stirred Up
Much Trouble In the South.

Much Trouble In the South.
A little bug, almost too small for In
dividual notice, ia taking up the time
of several great states, and has even
caused the Louisiana legislature to
be called into special session. This
little boil weevil seems a very small
matter to the people of the country
at large, but to cotton growers its COM
ing is fraught with prodigious evil.
For years it has been the boast of
Texas that she could raise cotton
enough to supply the world. and she
did appear to be satisfied with raising
about a third of the American staple.
But this little weevil crawled across
the border from Mexico and has
swept the cotton fields like pesti-
lence. Each year the domain Of the
weevil is spreading, and its kind is
multiplying by billions. No effective
means has yet been found to check
the spread Of the pest, and the entire
cotton belt is alarmed.
The Louisiana Special Commission
has recommended to the Legislature
that a non-cotton growing belt be
created between that state and Texas,
by which 1t Is expected to starve out
the weevil and stay its progress north
the weevil and stay its further prog
ress northward.
Already the loss by this insect is
probably $25.OOO.OOO, and experts of
the national and state governments
are doing everything in their power to
devise some means to check this Tex

honeymoon she had occasion to make
some purchases in a shop, and ordered
the goods to be sent to her at the Roy

moment she gave her maiden name to
the shopkeeper.
She had scarcely reached the door,
however, when she noted her mistake.
