 The court at once ruled in fa- vor of the defense, and the case was set for trial Wednesday, Sept 21. A number of ladies were in the audience and clapped their hands, showing their sym pathy with the defendant. Rob- erts' attorneys have ordered number of witnesses to be sub- poenaed, one of them being from Jonesboro.
 Doctor Lightle was not present at the Judsonia hearing, though his case was reset for Saturday morning before Justice Harlin.
 On granting the change of venue for the trial of John V. Roberts, the Searcy correspond ent of the Little Rock Democrat says, the court was correct. The sentiment against him there is stronger and more bitter than against any of the other princi- pals in the case. The frequent demonstrations of the crowd while Assistant Prosecuting At torney s. Brundidge was talking clearly showed that among the entire throng there were very few who sympathized with the formersmayor of this little town, and man who, prior to the in- stitution of the charge of grave robbery against him, was the Democratic nominee for the house of representatives from this county.

Will c. Mendenhall died at his home in Newark Thursday after noon, from consumption, which he contracted several months ago, and which ended in his death Thursday.

 Will had host of friends in this city who loved him for his honest, straightforward ways. He was a consistent member of the Christian church, and was al- ways interested in anything per- taining to the upbuilding of hu- manity.
 His funeral was conduct ed at his mothers home in Newark Saturday afternoon, the services being conducted under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias lodge.

ROBERTS SECURES
 CONTINUANCE.
Defense Wins a Point in That the Trial of Dr. Lightle Will Thus Come First Rob-
 erts' Case Set for
 September 21.

John V. Roberts of Searcy was not tried today on the charge of grave-robbery in connection with the Lightle insurance fraud case. 1 This was the day set for hi trial, but the defense asked for and obtained a continuance until Wednesday, September 21, in order to allow ample time to have I Witnesses on hand. Dr. R. c. Lightle's trial, also on the charge of grave robbery, will come up tomorrow morning in Searcy and ! interest, temporarily drawn from that place, will be centered there again.
 The defense filed motion on the start requiring the prosecu- tion to give bond for costs. This was not resisted and was imme- diately compiled with, Congress man s. Brundidge of Searcy, w. IC. Bright and s. M. Powell of Little Rock becoming sureties. The attorneys for the state then made vigorous fight for an inn mediate trial. The attorneys for the defense insisted that no spe- cific charge had been alleged against the defendant until yes terday in Justice Harlin's court, when the affidavit was amended so as to specify the charge. The question of setting the trial for today was then discussed by the attorneys on each side.
 The state is ready for trial ill {! this case" said MT. Brundidge.
 We are not ready yet, your honor, and the state was not ready either until the defense required the prosecution to give a bond,' said Judge Stuckey, for the defense. They have been bounding the defendant with their counsel, paid by the insur- ance companies, and no longer ago than last night MT. Fletcher and MT. Cantrell gave the de- fense notice that they were going to try this case in your court to- day at Il o'clock.''
 MT. Fletcher No, I didn't say any such thing; I said it would be called here this morning.
 MT. Jones Yes you did, too, and 1 can prove it by Stayton and Stuckey.
 I MT. Fletcher was standing and addressing his words direct to l MT. Jones, who continued his ar gument, saying he was not trifing with the court, as was alleged by the states attorneys. !. MT. Andrews, the prosecuting attorney, came in this morning from Cotton Plant, where he has been detained in circuit court. l He spoke in behalf of the state, saying justice was being tamper- ed with by postponing this case i from time to time. The state of Arkansas had been outraged in this matter, and if the defendant was not guilty of the charge he should have a speedy trial and acquittal.
 ! Mr. Brundidge was not preju- diced against the defendant, but wanted the states interest guard ed in this matter, and thought the defendant had sufficient time to have his witnesses here, as he was arrested on August B and had ample time to prepare for his defense.
 MT. Stayton cited the court to sections of the law regarding the time of subpoena of witnesses and said they had hardly twenty four hours to have the Witnesses here for the defense.
 MT. Brundidge took the floor at ohis time and it was then after the noon hour, and as he began , his remarks MT. Jones said, We are going to have the last say in
