MISTRIAL FRANKLIN CASE.
First Verdict Was for $25, ,OOO-Col.
Johnstone VIII Move Another
Trial This Week.

} Col. George tombstone returned
from Greenville on Friday afternoon,
where he had been engaged in the trial
OF the Franklin case.
II will be remembered that Mrs. H.
RI. Franklin sued the Southern rail
way for 100000 damages, and the
case was tried in Grecnvillc and a
verdict of $25, 100000 was rendered in
favor of Mrs. Franklin. The ease was
taken to the Supreme Court and that
court granted new trial, which took
place last week. II will be seen from
the Greenvillc News of Saturday that
there was a mistrial in the case at
this time. The News says:
"After being out sixteen hours, the
jury in the Franklin case returned
to the court room yesterday morning
and announced that they had been un-
able to agree on verdict. The
judges charge was concluded on
Thursday afternoon at $50 O'Clock
and the jury reported AT $40 o'clock
yesterday morning.
"lt is said that the jurors stood 10
to 2 in favor of verdict, while the
eleventh man was willing that the
plaintiff receive money enough to COW
er The expenses OF her sickness. The
twelfth man held out altogether
| against giving verdict for the plain
tiff From what could be learned,
it seems that the ten jurymen, who
were III favor Of giving n verdict for
the plaintiff, wished to give verdict
III the neighborhood of $4,000.
"As soon as the announcement of a
mistrial was made, Col. George John
stone, leading counsel for the plain
tiff, gave notice that endeavors would
be made to bring the ease up for trial
| again next week
"It is rather unusual for case to
be tried twice during the same term of
court, but when sufficient reasons are
given showing that the ease should
be tried, the presiding judge allows
the ease to come up for rc-trial.
"Thc Franklin ease has excited
much interest, it being one of the larg-
est civil suits tried in this State. The
amount involved is $4,000.
"Thc title Of the case is Suda T..
| Franklin and Howard II. Franklin
vs.. the Atlanta and Charlotte All Line
| railway. This is suit for damages
by Mrs. Franklin against the South
ern Railway for insults which she al
lcges she received at the hands of a
drunken man on thc train between
irecnville and Atlanta on April !,
1903.
"During the trial just concluded
brilliant arguments were made by the
lawyers on both sides. For the de-
Tense AlcssrS. ". p. Cothran and a. IT.
Dean made Il good fight and Messrs.
George Johnstonc, II. j. Haynsworth
and l.. O. Patterson, for the plaintiff,
likewise fought hard for a verdict for
their clients.'

Tuesday afternoon DR.. Goldsburg
arrived in the city as the Interpreter
and agent Of Commissioner Watson.
Wednesday morning DR.. Goldsburg,
accompanied by Mr.. 0. Geisburg Of
this city, started out to ascertain the
trouble and if possible pacify the i'm
migrants and effect a reconciliation.
Little Roadway was made during the
morning. In the afternoon eight or
ten Of the immigrants claimed to have
been appointed committee by the
others and, upon suggestion, went in
to meeting in the Court House. Mr..
r. e. Ligon being present by request
and DR.. Goldsburg and Mr.. Geisburg
acting as interpreters and advisers.
Everything possible was done to ef-
feet a reconciliation but without sue
cess.
Later in the afternoon there appear
ed some hope Of Strengthening matters
out: By the efforts Of DR.. Goldsburg
and Mr.. Geisburg, places of work
were found for twcnty-eight of the
thirty. Nine who had determined to
leave.
Mayor McCully offered to work
twenty on the streets at $1.00 per da5:
until they could do better. Eight
were offered to be provided for by
private families. This left eleven of
the dissatisfied and it was decided
that these should leave. This was the
way matters stood Wednesday night.
Yesterday the situation changed
back to the original status. During
Wednesday night a change had been
brought about, and il is said that one.
Grislcr, one Of the immigrants, is re-
sponsible for the change; that he is
the principal disturbing element.
When DR.. Goldsburg and Mr.. Gels
burg talked with the thirty-nine yes
terday they were told that all wanted
to leave, and as they could not be dis
Suaded a telegram was sent to Com
missioner Watson asking that trans
portation be sent. The departure Of
this crowd will leave about twenty
five at work in the mills and else
where and apparently perfectly salts
fled.

A number of communications have been
received in Frederick county from Prof.
Thomas B. Symons, State Entomologist,
stating that the San Jose scale or peach
yellows, or both, are on the premises Of
those who have been addressed. The COM
munications declare that the trees affect
ed by the scale must be treated and that
those that have the yellows must be grub
bed up at once.
Prof. Symons says that special efforts
must be made to stamp out the diseases,
in order to save the peach industry, and
that unless the State Horticultural law is
complied with it will be necessary to take
active steps to enforce without further
notice. A reply is asked for not later
than November &c.
Peach growers within a radius of Is
miles from Frederick agree that fully 80
per cent of the trees in Frederick county
have been ruined by the scale within the
last two or three years. Thousands of
trees have been destroyed, some orchards
losing as many as 1900 trees. Last year
was known as peach year in Frederick
county, but one of the largest orchards in
the county, which yielded 5000 bushels
the year before, had less than 200 bushels
The scale has attacked other fruit and
foliage trees in this county.

vent the blood becoming ladened with bile
which deposits in the skin layers, causing
