THE STATES SIDE.

The State, or plaintiff, contends
that as the court passed on the
jurisdiction of Judge Davis once
there seems to be no use Of doing
so again; and further contends that
the Supreme Court recognized
that Judge Davis has power and
authority to try criminal cases
when called to another circuit. aud
calls attention to the following eases
wherein he as tried criminals t.
wit. State VS.. Nelson. State ".
Taylor, State ys Blltz and state v.
IluGspeth.
As to the qualification of Jurors

the defendants attorneys failed to
make the proper legal objection to
their serving, which latter point
seems to be conclusive, Judging
from the rulings of the Supreme
Court in the celebrated ease of

killing of the Meeks girl J and

As to the lost indictment. it
was clearly shown that the origin.

found, that the Prosecuting At.
torney had taken the precaution of
having certified copy of the orig

and the court supplied it for the
original, for, as the court has held,
q lost indictment, like any other
record, may be supplied by the
court Of whose record it consti-
tutes a part. Of this there is no
doubt"

THE DEFENSE.

The chief reasons relied upon 10y
the defendant : attorneys to re-
verse this case are;
First, the failure of Judge Robt.
y Anthony to grant a change of
venue f,om st. Francois county.
Judge Anthony heard twelve or
fifteen Witnesses on each SIDE,
aud from the testimony, ruuciUled
that inlr aud impartial jury
could be- ind from the body of the
county.
Second, the defendant relies up.
on the ruling OF Judge Samuc
Davis denying the defendants ; plea
to the jurisdiction of Judge Davis
to try the case. In this conuec
tlou it will be- remembered that the
defendants attorneys applied tC
Judges Robinson, Marshal and
Fox of the Supreme Court for q
writ of prohibition against Judge
Davis, prohibiting him from fur,
ther trying said case; this tn,
Judges denied.
Third, the defendant aI.cgc.

jurors hersnse OF their previously
formed and oppressed opinion.
concerning the guilt or innocence
Of the defendant.
Fourth, error is alleged to have
been committed IN trying the de
tendant upon II certified copy OF
the indictment, the original hav-
ing, after the jury had been sworn,
been lost OF disappeared.
Fifth, the instructions on the
part of the State are faulty
And finally, that the evidence
does not disclose facts sufficient
to warrant the jury in convicting
the defendant of murder in the
first degree, From the brief and
argument of defendants attor-
neys, we would conclude that the
two strongest points pressed before
the Supreme Court were first, the
change of venue, and the last, the
weight of testimony not sustaining
the verdict.

All Kind of Music to Order.

Henry Smart. the English compos-
er, played a fine organ in a London
church and his recital after service
attracted much attention, but one
morning after a selection from one of
Mozart's masses a church warden
came into the organ loft and begged
to inform Mr.. Smart that they had
decided that they could not have such
1iggy stuff played In their church."
Very well. SIR" was the answer, cit
shall be altered" Next Sunday dirge-
like sounds proceeded from the organ
and the warden congratulated the
player on the solemn and elevating
effect of the music. 81 am glad you
like It," observed Mr.. Smart. Doubt
less If l play 1t a little quicker you
will see the reason why it affected
you" And, suiting the action to the.
word. the popular strains Of Jump.
Jim Crow" resounded from the organ
After this Henry Smart played what
he liked.

The Americans in London finding
no other outlet for their gambling In
stincts have introduced cab poker,
which seems bound to become popu-
lar.
Any day. sitting outside the leading
hotels, group of men may be seen
scrutinizing the cabs as they roll up
and then passing money from one to
the other. The game is simplicity in
itself. as 1t can be played publicly
without the slightest danger of dis
covery and Its adherents are daily
increasing.
All the cabs in London have a num-
Der. Those with numerals ranging
from one to nine are counted as cards.
Zeros are arbitrarily given the values
OF tens or jacks. The way to play the
game is for each man to take a cab in
turn. The number that contains the
best poker hand wins.
For instance. three men are playing.
The first has its number 1886. The
second has 11,126 and the third 15,511.
The third cab would win, having a
full house, three aces and a pair of
fives against the straight of number
one and three aces of number two
