A QUESTION OF JURISDICTION

Georgia.

famous Macon changing case in
which Henry Jamison sought and
secured his release from the Bibb

was upon this question that Mr..
Wimberly and Assistant District
Attorney Alexander Akerman
made their fight last week.
Both Mr.. Wimberly and Mr..
Akerman have returned to Macon
from Washington.
If the city and the recorders

NORTH LEARNING THE LESSON

The Philadelphia Ledger frankly
says: Gin the North the negro, no
matter what his character or at
tainment, is always handicapped
by his color. He has little or no
place Of residence, and cannot es-
cape communicating and demorali-
ling surroundings: he is limited
in a large measure to the lowest
sorts of hard and mental labor,
and he is made the tool, as in
Philadelphia, of the basest of
political schemers. These are all
facts which are known to every
one" The Ledger intimates that
more negroes are seeking homes
in the North than are wanted, and
that it would be wiser for them to
remain in the South. Doubtless
this is true, but it would some
what tighten the Southern white
mans burden if about four million
negroes would emigrate North and
thus enable our Northern white
friends to acquire more extensive
and accurate knowledge of the
race question on which some OF
them with conscious honesty and
unconscious impertinence have
long sought to instruct the South
One difference between the two
sections is that the South knows,
while the North is learning.

His Attorney Says He Will
Prove An Abb
DID NOT KILL MISS PAGE
Will Account For His Whereabout:
During Entire Day Of the
Murder.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Jan. 17.-"All
we ask of you, gentlemen of the jury,
is fair play. Give us that and we will
prove beyond all reasonable doubt that
Charles l.. Tucker is not the murderer
of Mabel Page"
With these words Attorney Thomas
+. Valley opened the case for the de.
Tense at the Tucker trial here. He
told the jury that the whereabouts OF
the defendant would be accounted for
from the moment he left his home at
noon on the day of the murder until
he returned to his home the same after
noon. He would prove that knife
other than fuckers was the weapon
used. The defense would not attempt
TO account for all the blood stains
found on fuckers clothing, but if the
government wished to prove Tucker
guilty it should have established that
the blood was from the body of Miss
Page. The handwriting in the u. l..
Morton" address would be shown to be
that of Miss Page. Witnesses would
swear that the stickpin found in Tuck
er's coat and alleged to have belonged
to Miss Page was owned by Tucker
two years before the murder The tes-
tlmony of the medical experts called
by the commonwealth was attacked,
and Mr. Valley said other experts
would be called to disprove statements
made.
An important decision was rendered
today by the court, which, after hear
ing lengthy arguments by counsel,
ruled that the introduction of fuckers
knife as evidence was competent and
all evidence in relation to it brought
out by the prosecution would stand
1t has been the contention of the de-
Tense that the knife was secured in
violation of the constitutional rights
of the defendant, in that it was secured
during search of fuckers home OH

seizure of a graphophone

She was composed and smiled reas-

for the purpose of searching it previous

Serious Result Of Sunday Hunting In Many

haveit from the very best authority
that this law was passed because q

The law says nothing against Sun
day fishing-nor is it Commissioner
Thomas intention to interfere in any
manner whatever with those who de-
sire to fish on Sunday, providing, of
course, they do not break. any of the
other fish and game laws. This firing
of guns close to the town occurred here
in Bennington last fall and many
church goers complained OF 1t.
You must remember that peaceable,
church going people do not wish to be
disturbed at services by the reports of
neighboring guns, neither do they
wish to set on the piazza Sunday after
noon and have charge Of bird shot

occurred here in Bennington last Sep

And to the enforcement Of the law,

in using no common sense in their
