SUPREME COURT
CONTEMPT Cases
Sheriff Shipp and Other Ten
neSseeans Charged With Con-
spiracy to Lynch.

WASHINGTON. y. c., December A.
in the Supreme Court Of the United
States argument was begun to-day on tho
legal phases Of the contempt cases insti-
tuted by the Department Of Justice
against Shorin John +. Ship. Of Hamil-
ton county Tenn. and twenty seven 9TH
ers. all charged with conspiracy to lynch
the negro, I'D. Johnson. who. aftor the
Supreme Court had taken cognizance Of
his case last March. was taken out Of
The Jail NJ Chattanooga and hanged BY
"a mob
The opening argument FOR the governs
ment was made by solicitor General Hoyt.
and had not concluded when the court ad-
jouned for the day.
The cases are not before the court on
their merits. but merely on the questions
of law which are presented. the principal
one OF which is that Of jurisdiction. Il
is contended on behalf OF Mr.. Ship and
his Co-dcfCndants that the United States
Circuit Court had no jurisdiction in the
cases in the beginning: that therefore. the
United States supreme Court was also
without jurisdiction and that hence this
case was not properly before that court.
and, as II was not properly there. that no
contempt was possible.
Mr. Hoyt took issue with his antago-
nists and quoted many presidents to show
that the Federal courts had not gone be
yond the proper bounds in assuming ju-
risdicuon IN the case.

was mice. Mrs. Hoffman has horror of
mice. and the second day IN camp when
she discovered one Of the small rodents
scudding from back OF the fireplace IN
the main room she nearly went into hys-
terics. She thought that II they had in
vaded one room they might another. and
that day the guides spent most Of their
time plugging suspicious looking holes
with soap.

brought out and the party was soon lost

So interesting did they find bridge that
the hours wore away and the fire died
down until the supply % wood In the none

Judge PoindeXter is busy this af-
ternoon with two divorce cases
which have been docketed as con-
tested. The first is that of Sadie
K. Currier against Walter S. Cur
rier, for divorce on the ground Of
excessive cruelty and for award of
property. Currie was not in court,
though there is out for him a bench
warrant for contempt of court. His
attorney stated that the defendant
was under the care of physician
and absolutely unable to appear.
Hence, the trial became one Of de-
fault.
The troubles of Gus. e. Conrad
and his second wife were also up
for airinfi, but as it followed the
Currier case it was not before this
paper went to press. This Is the
case where IA former divorce has
been set aside and the present
plaintiff-wlfe seems to have re-
course only to an annulment of her
marriage.
