consumed in hearing argument on
two pleas in abatement which were
submitted BY Attorneys X. NJ. Lett.
of this city. and George {. Cabeii OF
Norfolk, counsel for the accused. Both
pleas were overruled by the court and
the trial will begin this morning.
When the case was called yesterday
morning counsel for the defense en-
tered a plea in abatement. contend
ing that Jones should not be tried
on the Indictment charging attempted
criminal assault for the reason that
he already had been convicted in the
police court for assault and battery
for the sam" OffenSe as set out In
The Indictment, from which he had
appealed to the Corporation Court and
the appealed case should be heard.
Commemorative Attorney Berkeley
filed demurrer to the plea and the
in the argument. When court recon
vened for the afternoon session,
Judge Barham announced that he sus-
tanned the demurrer offered by Cap
tain Berkeley.
Second Plea Entered.
When this decision was handed
down. the attorneys for the defense
entered second plea in abatement,
claiming second jeopardy in that
Jones had been tried and convicted
for the offense in the police court, the
case having been sent hack to that
court from the Corporation Court sew
eral months ago. Several hours was
spent in the argument on that plea
and just before court adjourned for
the day. Judge Barham Oyerruled the
plea.
May Go to Supreme Court.
The attorneys for the defense en-
tered the usual exceptions to the rul-
ing of the court and it is more than
likely that the case will go 10 the
State Supreme Court in the event
the accused is convicted.
This morning the trial will be taken
up on the indictment charging at
tempted criminal assault.
Before Jones case was called yes
terday morning. George Murphy
Yates, a negro who was indicted for
HOUSEKEEPING. pleaded guilty to the
charge in the indictment and threw
himself on the mercy OF the court.
Judge Barham sentenced him to two
years in the state penitentiary.

Amos r. DnIhqar

Amos Emerson Dolbear, noted
American educator and inventor, was
born in Norwich, Conn, Nov. 10. 1887,
and was educated at Ohio Wesleyan
university. He early decided upon a
career as a scientist and his success in
his chosen field is attested by the nu-
merous honors bestowed upon him by
cientific societies both in America and
Europe. Among the notable things he
invented or perfected may be mentioned
the magnetic telephone, the static tele-
phone and the spring balance ammeter.
He is credited with the discovery of
the convertibility of sound into cleo
trlcity in 1874, and a process of photo
graphing with electric waves. In 1881
he exploited a method of telegraphing
without wires. DIR. Dolbear has writ
ten extensively for scientific journals
and magazines. Since 1874 he has been
professor of physics at Tufts college.
