CONCEALED WEAPONS ABOUT
THE PERSON.

In the superior court Yesterday
case Of Tom smith. colored. who was
tried for carrying a concealed pistol
was the occasion for a decision by
Judge Long which is one of import
ance.
Smith vas a colored attendant in a
pool room and in order to show his
innocence. went on the stand and teS-
titled that the pistol was broken and
had no cylinder. On cross examina-
ton he said that at the bar where he
worked he kept another pistol, and this
pistol he said was kept in a basket with
n cover. On this statement the court
instructed the jury that the defendant
was guilty. according to his w evil
dence because he was not on his own
premises and the pistol being within
his reach was concealed A verdict of
guilty was returned and Smith was
fined SIS and costs.
Several lawyers who were present
were much interested in the decision
and one of them aid that as he con-
strued it no clerk or other empIoye
could legally ave a pistol or other
weapon kept in a drawer. as is often
customary. or other places where il is
bidder from view. He said employees in
banks would have to keep any weap-
ons for self protection exposed-Ashe-

This decision of Judge Long is fol-
lowing the Interpretation of the law

declared by our supreme court in more
than one case. The court in those de-
cisions called attention to the wording
