W. a. EDSALL
Of Nashville Seeking How to
Secure Possession OF His
Children.

Mr.. w. H. Edsall, of Nashville,
Wednesday, instituted haIeas corpus
proceedings before Judge Holding tC
secure possession of his children. two
boys, SIX and fourteen wears of
age. The writ was delivered 10 the
Sheriff, directing him. TO bring the
children before his Honor on SATURDAY,
morning next, at 10 O'Clock, to be
dealt with as the law directs. The
writ is directed against Mrs. Maggie
ano Miss Matte Allen. who live on
Knob Creek. Mrs. Maggie Alien is
the grand mother of the children and
has them in custody and refuses 10
give them up. The proceeding is in
outco ne of case of domestic the
felicity resulting in a divorce.
Mr.. Edsall. the complainant. for
merly lived in this city and was a
we'll known book keeper here. but for
several years has been living in Nash
VILE. His wife formerly lived at
Knob Creek in Maury county.
They were divorced some time ago
in Nashville, and the decree gives the
husband the custody of the children,
but when Mr.. Edsall and his wife
separated the children were taken by
their grandmother. Mrs. Allen, and
she has since kept them and refuses to
surrender them to the father. MI.
Edsall urges as one reason for securing
his Children that the school facilities
at Knob Creek are meagre and he
wants TO take them with him to Nash
vile, where they can be better edu-
Gated. He says their mother is not a
Mt person morally to have the care of
the children, and it appears that she
is not asking for them. The divorce
suit has been appealed to the Supreme
Court, which has caused considerable
delay. and Mr.. Edsall pending a
decision by the higher court, has re-
sorted to the writ of habeas corpus to
get the children. Salmon & Turner

PLAIN WORDS THESE.

Gen. Patterson, in his argument in
the Honan trial in Memphis, used
some pretty plain words, beIn' as
how the General Is in politics, and in
the Memphis district. at that. His
courage and candor, albeit he seems
to be on the wrong side of very bad
case, rather increase our good opinion
of him. He said in part:
"Gentlemen of the jury. it appears
that Hartley and Keene, Hartley being
the proprietor and Keene the clerk,
were conducting a pecos room at AZ
DeSoto Street in the city of Memphis.
Now, / am not going to clam that
man who conducts pecos room is
first-class citizen. Nobody else has
ever claimed it. Neither am | going
to claim that a Deputy Sheriff who
goes down there and takes these poor
negroes for the purpose of squeezing
the money out of them, to bleed them
and to fleece them, is first class citi-
zen. And as between the Deputy
Sheriff who is in that sort of business
and the man who conducts the pecos
room, even the poor, ignorant negroes
l.
really the more reputable of the two
They always go after the poor, negroes
preferred. They never strike the
rich.
At this announcement the crowd in
the court room broke into applause.
The court raped vigorously for order
and instructed deputy to go to the
rear of the room and caution the audi
ence against repetition of the otfense.
Gen. Patterson proceeded:
"They pass by the gilded palaces.
They pass by the places where Brus-
sells carpets cover the floors and cut
glass decanters adorn the stands.
would rather be a gambler and take
my chances with the law than to wear
the mask of the law to plumber the
poor -
The oautionings of the deputies and
the admonitions of the Court were In
vain, says the Commercial Appeal.
The audience was shaken with ap-
plause, quickly subsidlng as though
the people applauding were suddenly
recalled to recollection of the orders
Of the Court. There were stern words
from Judge Moss, and fresh instructions
to the deputies. Gen. Patterson went
on with his argument. He told of the
raid that was made Saturday night
and of the fees collected at that time
by the raiding officials. One bond
would have covered the case and
effectuaIly closed the doors of the
gambling house, he declared. had the
raid been made in sincerity and hon
esty of purpose hut there were over a.
warrants issued because
thereby the fees were multiplied that i
many times. And the paraphernalia
was not taken away and was not de-
stroyed, for the reason, as he alleged, /,
that to do so would have etfectually {
put period to the game. which was
really not what the officers desired.
Their intention was to keep the game
going and to raid as often as it would
stand. In the words Of Gen. Patter- '
ron: t
Their intention was not to kill the
goose that laid the golden egg, hut
