SPEER OvERRULED
By Decision of High Court in
Noted Chain Gang Case.
NO POINT is SUSTAINED
Had Court Sustained Jurlst Every
Chain Gang Prisoner in State Of
Georgia Could Have Secured
Liberty.

A Washington dispatch says: The
well known Wimbish-Jamison case.
from Macon, Ga, was decided la the
supreme court Monday. The action Of
Judge Emory Speer Of the southern
federal district of Georgia, was re.
yersed and the case remanded. The
effect of this is to uphold the record
er1s court Ct Macon.
E. A, Wi1Ablsn is superintendent.
OF the Bib5 county chaingang.
This IS the case in which United
States Judge Speer interfered with
the sentence OF a prisoner, Jamison,
a colored man, by a recorders court
61 Macon, to work on the streets,
The opinion of the court, rendered
'one week from the day of argument,
was the occasion Of some surprise. 1t
was contained in a few words only.
and contrary to the usual custom, was
not even reduced to writing.
Henry Jamison was arrested on
March 23s 1904, on a charge of being
drunk and disorderly, and being tried
beIore the recorder of the city of Ma
con, plead guilty and on two counts
was sentenced to pay a fine of $50
or be committed to the county chain
gang for 20 days. Four days later
the prisoner, instead of taking advan-
tage of the usual remedies under the
state laws. presented a petition for a
writ Of haheas corpus cum causa to
Judge Speer of. the federal court, al
leging that his arrest and punishment
were illegal. because they were with
out due process of law" and because
ne was subject ito infamous punish
ment in violation of the
constitution OF the United States"
The case was finally argued in June,
1904, and Judge Speer, after having 1t
under advisement for a week, ordered
the discharge of Jamison, holding,
among other things, that "Jamison was
detained of his liberty and subjected
to infamous punishment without due
process of law"
Besides" the Judge ruled, "the SEN
tence against him is void, void for
want of due process of law and void
because one man cannot adjudge in
fanny"
The contentious of Wimbish, the
respondent in the lower court, were
in part as follows.
"That Jamison should be remanded
to his custody as superintendent of
the changing, and should not be dis
charged upon a writ of habeas cor
pus, for the reason that he held him
under a sentence from a police court
of summary powers, with jurisdiction
over the person and the offense, as
provided by the law of the state
"'That the case did not imperatively
demand Jamison's release by writ Of
habeas corpus"
The case involving the determine
ton of a I'ght claimed under the CON
stitution of the United States, it was
appealed TO the federal supreme
court, with the result already stated.
The decision quashes the writ of hab-
cas- corpus and dismisses the petition.
Had Judge Speer been upheld, a fed
eral district judge would have been
given the lower to release every per
son confined at hard labor under the
processes Of state courts, and the rule
that punishment by hard labor is in
famous punishment, contrary to the
fifth amendment to the constitution,
would have been established.

To Import German Servants.

A movement is on foot at Valdos-

ants to the city from New York. Sew
eral of the citizens have been in cor
respondence with an agency in New
York, which proposes to furnish desir-
able servants of this kind. They will
not come except in crowds of twenty
or more, as they desire companionship,
so a number of the local citizens have
decided to go in together and bring
out a large crowd of them.
The servant question is getting to

Policemen Refuse to Resign.

The effort to establish civil service
in the police department of Atlanta
has reached a very acute and interest
ing stage. About twenty Of the men
have refused to resign and declare
that they will stand pat. This action,
it is said, may block the game and
prevent civil service from being es-
tablished in the department until the
next general election.
The city attorney has been appealed
to for an opinion, but he says that
just at present he can only say that
unless a Substantial" number Of the
men refused to resign the board can

tions had been unanimous.
