HIS FATE IN
THE BALANCE
DR.. HERMAN FEST MAY NOT
KNOW SUPREME COURTS DE
cIsiON FOR TWO WEEKS
MURDERED MRS. MANGRUM.

The Nashville Tennessean says;
The supreme court did not hand
down an opinion in the Fiest murder
case Saturday, as was generally ex-
pected it would do.
The court has not yet, as whole
taken the case up for consideration
but it is in the hands Of one of the
justices. who is busily engaged on
the immense record. Which one Of
the justices IS handling the case Is
not known nor will any of them di
vulge the information. 1t is under.
stood, however, that Chief Justice w.
D. Beard has it in charge and VIII
prepare the opinion OF the court, as
he is one of the strongest criminal
authorities on the bench.
Judge Beard, however, when asked
if he would write the opinion, re.
fused to answer, stating that it was
against the rule OF the court to say
In advance of opinion days what
Judge is handling any particular case.
Judge Beard did state. however.
that it was possible that the opinion
OF the court in the Feist case might
not be handed down even next Satuf
day; that on account of the immense
record a great deal Ct the courts
time viii be required to go over all
Of it, even after the judge who writes
the opinoin has read it to the other
members.
Whether or not the judge who is
writing the opinion has completed il
and submitted it to the full court is
not known, but it is highly improba
BILE that he has done so. When the
opinion is written it will be submitted
to the full court at consultation, and
how long the full court will go over
it and the evidence is problematical
1t is very likely, however that it
will be two weeks yet before DR.. J
Herman Feist knows his fate.

The goose quill was sharpened in the
 schools though stub pens had been
 recently produced. The calico of that
 day sold at $l yard and higher and
 was more costly than silk and equally
 durable. The Sabbath was well ob-
 served, the pulpit proclaiming the lost estate of man; the necessity of salva- tion through Jesus, the Christ, Son of God and Son of man; the certainty of penalty for all unrepentent; the in- spiration of the Bible as the very Word
 of God. Unitarianism had but recently organized at Boston and the discover ies of science and invention were yet in their infancy. How changed the scene in 1908! Steam is being displaced by electricity, with the telegraph wire and wireless, while the air ship looms large in the near future. Gas lights yield to electric bulbs. Only the North and South Poles and Thibet re ,ist the spirit of discovery. The general distribution of comfort and wealth has fled before the trust and the multi-millionaire, with all that they portend of social revolution. We are now an empire with the Phillipines and other tentacles and in place of a composite population we are an analgam of riches and pov- erty, intelligence and ignorance, crowd ing into cities with slums and sky scrapers, multitude loosely held to- gether, with no common standard of authority in religion or morals. But God remains and truth is one and un- conquerable, no matter what the pres ent eclipse. Therefore, dear mother, we hail you as a remnant of an earlier day, yet prophetic of the final endur- ance of all who love God and His well beloved Son, knowing that the Holy Spirit is still the comfort and support of age as we'll as the guide and ever gizer of all who submit to His leader ship and power. {
