CASES ON TRIAL is
LARGE IN NUMBER,
The Dockets About Finished
However.
RECESS TAKEN FOR CHRISTMAS
Criminal Docket Is Particularly Heavy
Seven Murder Cases and Twenty
FeIonies on Criminal Side-And
Convictions in All of Them.

Judge Littlejohn yesterday ordered
idays, thus ending what has, up to
date, proved TO be very busy session
and one in which large number of
cases both on the civil and criminal
docket have been given trial.
During the current term the court
has been engaged for nine days upon
the criminal docket, and in that time
has disposed of seven murder cases and
probably twenty other felt n es.
And conviction followed in ell but
five of the latter ones.
Besides the seven murder cases, of
which mention has bsen made already,
seventeen felony cases were tried be-
fore iuries, besides pleas of guilty
made in several others. This record of
cases evidences the celebrity with wh.ch
the lot were disposed of,
In many cases the Jurors were put
upon their voir dire, thus consuming a
great deal of time.
The trial of twenty-five or thirty Grim
inal cases of this nature in nine days,
seven of them legthy murder trials,
reflects CreditAbly upon the ability of
Judge Littlriohn to dispatch business
and upon Solicitors Hooper and Fort in
pushing cases to conclusion.
And precious few of the accused
ones went free this time.
In the seven murder cases all the
defendants were adjudged guilty and
have been sentenced, two to the gal
lows while five others will do long
terms in the state penitentiary.
Among the cases yesterday Henry
Barnes, who assaulted Policeman
Ohouse some time ago, was sent up
for year, or fine of 5000 Even
Slappey for shooting at another negro,
got year, or a foe of $3.50, while
Seymour Davis got year straight, for
similar offence.
Two young white men who pleaded
guilty to gaming were fined $50 each,
which they will pay

ORIGINAL GRETNA GREEN.
Many Came Across English Border t


| Many Came Across English Border to
Have the Knot Tied.
A recent writer on the departed glo-
ries of the original Gretna Green in
Scotland has this to say of the priests
| who did the marrying for the hurrying,
| anxious persons who came to them
| from across the English border: "The
men who took up the trade of marry
| ing had often been previously engaged
in some other occupation Some were
! st0nemasons, some were weayers and
many were border idlers and poachers.
Among these last it is possible that a
blacksmith may at some time have
taken to joining hands instead of iron,
but no one of the calling ever rose to
fame in the marriage line"
Joseph Paisley, who first made the
marriage trade 'hum," is described as
nothing better than a drunken free
booter. But he was equal to this in
cident: "On one occasion his services
were required simultaneously by two
couples, both in d desperate hurry, and
after the ceremony it was discovered
that, by a trifiing mistake, the wrong
brides and bridegrooms had been unit
ed 'Awell,' said Paisley contentedly,
jest sort yersels.'
Eventually the "Gretna priests" be-
came SO numerous, competition SO
keen, that they waited on the English
border for the arrival of customers" ,"
None of them obtained reputation for
riches, nor were they able to retire on
their earnings, but died In harness.
The usual price for celebrating mar
riage was half a crown (3811a cents), but
one poor couple got off for sixpenee,
and a still poorer couple for 21a pence
