THE STATE DOCKET TAKEN UP MON
DAY A NUMBER OF CRIMINAL
CASES DISPOSED OF.
Need Butler Pleads Guilty Of Murder
and Goes to the Pen for Life.
THE WHITE CAP CASES WILL BE TAX.
EN- UP THURSDAY.


| ed in the Circuit Court Monday,
which has been in daily attend
ance since. Judge Wilkinson soon
made it apparent that he believed
in imposing sentences on yiolators
of the law which they would have
reason to remember.
Need Butler, the murderer of
Ed. Paxton, entered a plea of
guilty and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. Jack North,
ern, the notorious blind tiger
operator of Bogue Chitto, who
has given the good citizens down
there so mach trouble, plead
guilty yesterday morning to
Iadultrv, and received a
sentence of FIVE hundred dollars
and six months in the county Jail.
His partner in crime, who plead
guilty to the same charge,
got one of the seyerest
reprimands ever received by a
white woman in public. The
State of Mississippi has no use in
her borders for such a woman as
you, said the Judge solemly and
he gave her the alternative of get
ting out of the State forever,
within four days, or paying a fine
of $500 and going to Jail for six
months. If she decided to leave
the State. he said, she must not
on any account come back, as the
penalty of fine and imprisonment
would be enforced. ~. I
