aggravated cases of long standing cured

from cured people in various parts of

much to restore a normal healthy condi-

Trial Still On.

Tho case eff the State VS. r. j. Cornweli
is still on in the city court of Bessemer
and it Is more than likely that it Will be
tomorrow afternoon before the case is
given TO the jury.
The defense sets up the plea of former
jeopardy and it claims that the state
has no right to try the case over.
ON the other hand the state claims that
il has a perfect right to try the case
again. and this is the matter for the jury
to decide.
Cornwell was tried and acquitted on the
charge of embezZlement on December 90
1904 and the question now is was he &C
uaitted of all the charges against nm
OF only one.
The iil1rv will now have to decide wheth-
Ell he can be tried again or not. The en-
tire morning was taken up by the plead
ings of council for both sides.

had taken stenographic notes at the last
trial and he certified to their correctness
II. d. Cockrell was the next witness
He testified as to having been employed
BY the bank at the time of the alleged
embezzlement. His testimony was prac-
tically the same as given at the former
trial.

stand Witness stated he was one of the

ness ated that according to his best
recollection council for the defense want
ed the state to elect just what item Or
items Cornwell was being tried on. The
state refused to elect. When cross ex-
amined witness did not know just how
the Indictment read. Witnes did know
what the verdict was. He believed that
the Indictment called for three items
amounting to $4,000.
j. T. johnson was the next witness. lie
only knew that Cornwell was being tried
and he remembered that he had, been
found not guilty. He remembered that
the states council had stated that be
could try the case on y Indictments or
that the defendant could be tried for any
amount from 500 up. Witness stated he
was under the impression that Cornwell
was being tried on all of the charges He
stated 1t was his impression that counsel
for the state had stated that Cornwell
was going to be tried for the whole
amount of the shortage, which was $l4o,ooo.
