bBINS Who
PRESIDED BEFORE
Nd Who Pronounced Judg.
! ment Same Day of Verdict
Only Man that Franklin VIII
Consider as Trial Judge
in Powers Case.

Judge Stout, the regular judge OF
the Scott Circuit Court who has been
elected to the Office since the last
Trial of Caleb Powers has declined
to preside in the coming trial Of the
case.
Judge Stout is of the opinion that
he or Special Judge Robbins, who pre-
sided in the last trial, is qualified to
act. But on account of his connec-
ton as Attorney for the Common
wealth in the Howard case, he de-
clined for Conscientious reasons to
preside. Attorneys representing
Powers want Stout to preside and
attorneys for the Commonwealth
want Robbins, with whose rulings
they are already familiar to preside.
To settle the matter of who should
try Powers it was agreed that a
conference be held between the at
torneys representing the defense and
prosecution and that if an agree
ment could be reached Judge Stout
could certify to the Governor the
necessity for appointing a special
Judge who would be satisfactory to
both sides.
Mr.. Franklin readily assented to
this, but when the attorneys started
to consult about the matter he re-
fused absolutely to consider anybody
but Judge Robbins. Major Owens
proposed the names of four Demo-
Gratis, any one of whom he declared
would be acceptable to him. They
were Judge A. p. Humphrey, of
Louisville; Judge Dishman, of Bar
louisville; Judge Black, of Bar
louisville, and Judge Askew, of
Georgetown.
After it was found that no agree
ment could be reached, Judge Stout
again took the case under considera-
ton, and stated that he would prob
ably certify the need for special
Judge. He said, however, that he
wanted to think the matter over
again before taking any action.
The refusal of the prosecution to
agree to any of the four men pro-
posed by the defense caused quite a
surprise, as all are leading lawyers
in the State and are known as strong
Democrats. 1t is probable that de-
spite the protests of the defense,
Judge Robbins will be on the bench
at the special term.
1t will be remembered that Judge
Robbins, ON completion of the former
trial of Powers pronounced judg-
ment on the defendant the same day
that the verdict was rendered with
out giving his attorneys an oppor-
tunity to prepare and file a motion
and proper grounds for new trial
and it is probably for this and other
reasons that the Commonwealth now
contends so strongly for Robbins.

Makina q Hat Smaller.

A large hat may easily be made
smaller In this day, when bias bands
on the edge are fashionable. When
the rim has been cut II should first be
bound with tarlatan so the rough straw
will not cut through the ribbon. The
strips should form a true bias and be
wide enough to turn In about a quar-
ter Of an inch on each side after the
binding Is on. An inch on each side Of
the brim is the approved width, though
this Is more or less a matter OF taste.
Be careful In cutting, especially II vel
vet is used, to match the pieces care
fully so that the nap and material run
the same WY. Measure the amount
that lust fits the hat, sew II together
ut the end and fit over the brim,
stretching ii in the middle and being
careful not to stretch the sides or II
VIII pucker. When measured sew the
ends together and snap over the brim.
Turn In the edges on both sides and
blind stitch on. Be sure the seams
come at each side. A binding may also
be put on by sewing one side rather
tightly TO the top Of the brim and then
turning over and blind stitching on the
under side, but the first way Is more
satisfactory.
