and answered the allegation as to
the refusal of jury by pointing out
that since the right of arneal to the
Superior court was guaranteed by the
act, the provision in the State Consti-
tuition providing that in all criminal
actions the right of trial by jury
should be preserved had ~ot been / =
pealed or violated.
Recognizing the Importance of tie
cases as involving the question Wheth-
er subordinate Federal judge has
the right to >overrule the Supreme
court of the State in matters of pun
ishment for violation of State criminal
laws, the Governor requested the At
torney General to represent the States
interests. If Judge Purnell should
decide to liberate the prisoners, the
case will at once be carried by the
State and city to the Circuit Court
of Appeals sitting at Richmond and.
if necessary, to the Supreme Court of

Takes to the Woods.

Sheriff Page yesterday received a
letter asking for aid in the capture
of John Aiken, a fugitive from justice.
1t seems that on Friday John Aiken
and S. l.. Linden, two lightning-rod
agents, who were stopping at Wilbur,
a town on the Cape Fear 81 Northern
Railroad, were drinking together. A
quarrel seon developed and blows fol-
lowed. Aiken had Linden down anu
was beating him severely when Lin.
den succeeded in getting out his knife,
and opening it he used it effectively
in Kidding himself of his antagonist
Aiken next ran into store and SelZeo

deliberate aim and began shooting "a

track on a run. Aiken followed in hot
pursuit, shooting as he ran. Linden

appearances he lay dying on the
ground, unarmed and helpless.
Just at this. point two others APP

to prevent violence, if possible. On

close by and closed the door for pro-
lection. When he saw that the door
was too stout to be forced, Aiken
crept around to room in which VIII.
burns daughter was sitting, and
sticking his gun through crack.
and threatened to shoot her. This
however. was merely bluff. On quit
ting Wilburn's premises, Aiken took
to the woods, swearing that he would
still kill them.
AS soon as Aiken was well out o.
sight Wilburn and Stevens came from
the house and collected a posse of
twenty-one men as quickly as possible.
These men started in pursuit, but
knowing the desperate character OF
the man soon desisted from the at

Aiken is a man of desperate nature
and is known to be a dangerous per-
son when drunk. Both he and Lin

office were sent to the section of Wake
