On Monday week the Corporation Court
4, vii convene for It's September term, and
ut this time the special grand jury will
be called. The two most important cases
which will como UP before this term will
il be that OF Mrs. 1Cstcle Smith, convicted
for the mnnslaughter Of her child. Her
counsel will move for q new trial OH the
ground that tho verdict is contrary to
law and evidence, and that Of Mr.. George
Morris, who is charged with criminal as
sault on thirtccnyenr-old Louise Jones.
There has been little talk in regard 10
the once famous Smith case lately. and
the public sympathy has hardly been
j swayed one way or the other. Since Mrs.
Smiths Incarceration she has been very
ILL., but lately she has improved. and Is
now much better. Her husband Shop
Il herd *. Smith. will also answer the
charge Of completely In the crime of
which Mrs. Smith stands convicted.
OF especial interest Is the case of George
Morris. because OF the peculiar crcum-
stances attached to the exposure Of his
alleged crime. The most remarkable cir
cumstance is the apparent apathy with
which the parents regarded the alleged
lackadaisacal effort in causing the arrest
of the alleged criminal. Less remarka-
BILE, but at the same time more sensa-
tional, is the stand which Mr.. Smith. the
Il accuser, takes In the case. If 1t had not
been for his direct and unainching evil
dence, the case would never have come
within the &coPrlizance OF the law. And
perhaps the .nst peculiar circumstance
of all is the direct opposition between
the evidence of the girl and the accused
and that of MI. Smith. Aside from the
accused. the alleged victim and the ac-
cuser. the most important witness will be
he city physician. DR.. T. r. Rucker. On
his evidence the final verdict will in all
likelihood depend. And no man save DIR.
Rucker himself can say what that evil
dence will be. DR.. Rucker has maintained
n most inscrutabe silence, and this very
silence lends the more weight In the
+ minds of all as to what that evidence will
be.
There will be other minor cases. Tut
d none will attract such attention as the
foregoing. The following will be sum-
moned to serve on the special grand
Z jury: George Gary. G. S. McRae, w.
& B. Ball, John O'Brien. A. c. Jones, J. S.
Il Wakefield, David P. Wake John Baker
