In custody of Sheriff Van Pelt
George c. Scudamore, declared to be
insane, left Pensacola yesterday morn
ing for Tallahassee, where this morn
ing he will be produced by the sheriff
before the supreme court of the state.
C. c. Scudamore, a brother of the
depOsed bank cashier, also accompa-
MED the party to Tallahassee, and
will remain there until the sheriff re-
turns to Pensacola.
Attorneys Leave
Yesterday afternoon the attorneys,
who are to argue the case before the
supreme court left the city. VIII H.
Watson, of Reeves & Watson and J.
II. Smithwick are TO appear for ScJrd-
amore, while Judge A. c. Blount, Jr.
will represent the state. They expect
to conclude their arguments today,
but probably not in time to return
home tonight.
The Point at Issue.
The point at issue is whether or not
the act giving the county Judge au-
thority to commit to the insane asy-
lum without giving the party a trial
by jury or opportunity of defending
himself is constitutional. The attor-
neyS EOf ScuudIHCFe Claim LnaI the
act is unconstitutional for the reason
that it is taking away the rights
granted by the constitution Of the
state and United States, which guar
antees to every man a trial by jury
and the right to defend himself They
claim that this right has not been
given Scudamore, and state that they
are confident that the supreme court
will dPcide in their favor
No Early Decision.
1t is not expected that the supreme
court will pass upon this question to-
day or before the attorneys leave
for Pensacola. The court
will no doubt hear the arguments in
the case and then take the matter
under Amusement, announcing its de-
cision in three Or four days or pos
sibly a week later.

the strained relations between Harry
Thaw and his wife:
The reports that have been print

without truth. Mrs. William Thaw is
inclined TO be fair ard just with her
