Judge Converse and ProSecu-
tor Jessup Are Subject
Of Mock Trial.
HAVE WARM DEFENDERS.
HERBERT AND HUNTINGTON, AL
THOUGH 1T WOULD NOT BE Elk
PECTED, HAVE A GOOD WORD
FOR BOTH.

Sheriff Meredith stated this morn
ing at police headquarters that Friday
evening the prisoners at the county
Jail held a mock trial, the prisoners
Jessup. They We're charged with max
ing travesty of justice in the city
court. The case in question was the
action of Judge Converse in giving a
man named Ford a sixty-five day SEN
tence for mistreating his wife and a
day or two later dismissng Jack Drift
associating. The prison prosecutor. set
forth that this was unjust inasmuch
as Ford had never been in trouble be-
fore while Drifmeyer was an old Of
fender ,
Strange as it may seem, the sheriff
stated the two warmest supporters of
Judge Converse and Prosecutor Jes-
sup were David Herbert. a wife beater
and drunkard and Earl Huntington,
the dean of all the s'old offenders in
the county. These two men, who are
broke jail only to be captured the fol-
lowing day at Eaton, argued that
Judge Converse was just man and
always gave those who appeared be-
fore him a just trial. They stated
that Prosecutor Jessup never vigor-
ously prosecuted man unless he de-
served such action. Herbert, the wife
beater, stated that Ford, the wife beat
err, deserved all if not more than Judge
Converse gave him.
Since being confined in the county
Jail Herbert has become seized with
religious mania and he spends a great
part of his time preaching to his fell
low prisoners and urging them to re-
form and make men of themselves. He
states that when he is released from
the county Jail he will never again
touch a drop of booze and will live
an honest, upright life and will be
good to his wife and children. Earl
Huntingtons sentence will not expire
until next April. He was sent up ear
ly in the summer for aSsauiting ex-
Officer William Golden. Earl is very
anxious for a short vacation about
Christmas time and is urging the pro-
secutor to let him have his liberty at
that time, but he is urging in vain.

DARE DEVIL RIDER
MEETS WITH INJURY
Charles Hatton Thrown by a
Broncho at the Buffa-
10 Bill Show.
COLLAR BONE Is BROKEN.
AT THE PERFORMANCE FRIDAY
NIGHT A SECOND ACCIDENT &C.
CURED, BUT 1T WAS MORE
FORTUNATE.

Charles Hatton, western bronco
buster travelling with the Buffalo Bill
show, had a narrow escape from hav-
ing his neck broken Friday afternoon
while the show was in progress at the
North Nineteenth street grounds. AS
it was, Hatton sustained a fractured
collar bone.
Hatton is regarded as one Of the
finest of the dare devil rough riders
with the show. 1t is his duty at each
performance to mount an untamed
bronco and ride it to submission. Fri
day afternoon, after particularly
wild animal had been saddled with
difficulty, Hatton gracefully threw
himself into the saddle and the strug-
gle began. All over the arena went
the maddened horse and its game rid
err Suddenly the horse leaped high
into the air and came down with It's
fore feet stiff. AS result Hatton
shot out of the saddle, scared over the
horses head and fell violently TO the
ground Hatton was picked up and
carried to the dressing room and then
taken to the office of DR.. j. M. Buila,
who cared for the injury. Hatton was
then taken back to the show grounds
and left with the show Friday night.
At the performance Friday evening
another bronco buster narrowly es-
capped having his leg fractured. Over
five thousand Mortified spectators
thought for a minute he would be kill
ed Taking the sama mount which
had thrown Hatton the buster threw
himself into the saddle just as the
animal made a bolt. Near the ropes
the horse turned sharply, fell over on
it's side and attempted to roll upon its
rider, who had fallen with the ami
NAL, his right leg under 1t. Instantly
Col. Cody and three COW boys rushed
to the assistance of the man. He was
pulled out with grin on his face.
When the horse arose the game rider
Jumped into the saddle again and the
last seen of him was gracefully handl
ing the Infatuated steed as it forced
its way through the curtains at the
exit.
