JUDGE GARDNER DEFENDS HIS OFFICIAL
RECORD AGAINST ATTACKS BY BISHOP

| jury has not yet been determined
and then, after discussing the case
and the law, he held the evidence moi
sufficient and discharged defendant
| COS S. W., 1,061) While l knew, ac-
cording to the rulings of the Court
of Criminal Appeals, the evidence was
not sufficient to sustain a conviction,
yet l believed an investigation by the
grand jury would bring out the neces-
sary additional evidence. 1t may be
presumptious, or childish on my
part to put my opinion against that of
Judge Davidson, but Geo. Kinney was
legally hung for rape at Palestine
when, if Davidson could have had his
way, Kinney would have been dis
charged.
Riley Stevens was convicted of
horse theft and on appeal the case
was affirmed, all three judges concur
ring. About two months afterwards,
on motion for rehearing, the case was
reversed, Judge Brooks dissenting
The indictment charged the offense to
have been committed on June 31st,
1906, and on this account, there being
no such date, two of the judges held
the Indictment bad; but Judge Brooks
said he thought the position of the
other judges absurd Now, while it
does not SO appear in the report of
the case, this point was not raised be-
fore me, nor in any way passed on by
me, but was discovered for the first
time after the court had adjourned.
Judge Brooks evidently thought that
June 31st was the same as the -
day of June" and this is recognized

a TRIP TO cARTMELL's LAKE.
sunflower Club Entertained Miss Rob-
erts of GImer Saturday.

Last Saturday evening the Sunflow
er Club, chaperoned by Miss Emma
Bowen and Mrs Milton Fore, enter
tained Miss Roberts of Gilmer at
CartmeIl's.
We were to meet at the Avenue
Baptist church at l o'clock, and from
II to l was long and lonesome hour
for we boys, for we knew the girls
were waiting at the church" for US,
while we were at our desks figuring
the minutes and seconds-until the
big whistle gave the signal to go.
After so long time we heard its glad
and melodious sound, and away we
went for the church, where we found
the jolly crowd awaiting us. Imme-
diately upon our arrival, everybody
made rush for the wagon, and the
All Aboard signal was given, and
we were off in a bunch.
We arrived at the lake about 2:3O
p. M, and pitched camp and maze

red lemonade, etc. Old Sol was send.
ing his rays of sunshine down in all
his glory, but a little too strong to
venture out on the water, so the
early part of the evening was spent
in kodaking and fishing, principally on
dry land, and the girls say they had
splendid luck.
Old Sol got about half past the cor
ner and made the lake so inviting that
we could not resist, so the remainder
Of the afternoon was spent in boating. !
Mr.. Milton Fore arrived just in time |

article 654 of the Criminal Code.
Judge Wilson has a note under this
tnew article in which he calls atten-
ton to the amendment of 1887, which
ton The Court of Criminal Appeals
seems never to have noticed that the
article had been changed, and goes on
constituting the amended statute just
as they did the old one. (See Parks
VS.. Lubbock, 80 Tex, 637) | will
add here that in so far as the court
criticises me on other points in the
case an examination will show that
the judge writing the opinion mis-
states the record.
J. M. Parnell, his son, Winton Par
nell, Ed Fancher and Tom Snowden
were indicted for the murder of Wash
Roberts. After a week in the trial of
the case, Winton Parnell was convict
led of murder and given five years,
and no appeal was taken. Ed Fancher
in same way was convicted of man.
slaughter and given two years and no
appeal was taken. Tom Snowden for
feited bond of 100000 and the judg-
ment of forfeiture was affirmed on ap-
peal. J. M. Parnell was twice con-
victed and his case twice reversed,
and on the third trial was convicted
of aggravated assault and fined
$4,000, and no appeal was taken. M.
E. Richardson and w. R. Bishop were
employed to assist the district and
county attorneys in the prosecution.
and the defendants were represented
by seven lawyers. On the first appeal
of the J. M. Parnell case l was
'butchered" in the Court of Appeals,
and if Mr.. Bishop is not willing to adj
nit this l believe l can prove it by
Mr. Richardson, one of the leading
lawyers in Athens. On the second
appeal the case was reversed because
of a certain charge given by me,
which charge was written by Mr. |

as good. Notwithstanding l was af-
firmed in this case as to all points
raised before me, this reversal is
charged to me. (See 103, S. W., 904.)
AL Wooley was convicted of seduc-
ton, and on appeal the case was re-
yersed because, in the opinion of the
higher court, the evidence was insult
ficient and there was error in the
charge to the jury. AS to the evil
dence being sufficient, | call attention
to the fact that before the case was
again called for trial the defendant
offered to marry the prosecutrix,
which offer she declined, and thus
the prosecution ended. But the re-
versal of the Wooley case was not to
be the last of my so-called erroneous
charge, and we find the judges of said
court in the Howe case disputing over
my charge. After copying my charge
in the Wooley case, Judge Brooks,
for himself and Henderson, says:
This charge, in the light of the de-
cisions of this court, is correct, and
we were not intending in the Wooley
case to state that it was not but the
thought in said case attempted to be
enforced was, as stated, the INSULT
cheney of the evidence" Judge David
son, in his dissenting opinion, states
Just the reverse. Read the opinions
in these cases COG S. w, II, and 1O2
S. W., 409), then in your heart say if
you are surprised that dare to take
issue with these judges.
A. S. Busby was convicted of misap-
plying public money, and about fifteen
months after the conviction the case |
was affirmed, Judge Henderson dis
at great length the many
points raised by defendant. About
two months afterwards Judge Hender-
son reconsidered and he and Davidson
reversed the case, because, in their
opinion, | erred in submitting in evil
1ence certain judgment for $4,000 !

like lark" I'm Afraid to Come Hoi ne

The lightning flashed and the thun-
der roared in the western horizon,
and we heard the echo from our chap
erons, saying, Children, come and go
home" so we pulled for the shore and
made preparations to leave. On the
way home everybody was feeling fine
over the trip, and we had to put the
finishing touches on it by ending up
with hay ride. We heard several
say, Don't you know those people
have had time" Well, they were
right about it, for all said they had
never been on an outing that was en-
joyed as this one, and it will long be
remembered.
After several rounds in the city, to
our sorrow we had to part, and every
one wanted to go to their home last

| time to review the record | believe
could convince any reasonable man
that such was the case. But, be that
as it may, | take issue with Judge
Brooks on the following proposition
as stated by him: IF appellant pro
voked the difficulty, and the evidence
suggests the issue, then in the nature
of things the issue of mutual combat
is not in the case. If they mutually
engage in combat and the evidence
suggests this issue, then provoking
the difficulty is not in the case" (See
Reese VS.. State, 81 S. W., 5S3) l
contend that one witness might make
a case of provoking a difficulty, while
another might make case of mutual
combat.
Jim Follis was convicted of murder
on trial before Judge Gooch and also
before me, and both convictions were
set aside by the Court of Criminal
to put my opinion against that of
Appeals The facts are: Hamp Nc
Donald was a ferryman on the Trinity
river and defendant Follis worked for
him. Mcdonald was missing, and
after having been arrested and duly
warned the defendant made a confess
sion in writing, stating that he killed
Mcdonald by knocking him in the
head with an axe, stabbing him with
a knife, and then throwing his body in
the river. The body rose a few days
after and defendant sunk it again in
the presence of his uncle and cousin,
and it was never seen afterward. No
one testified to seeing the axe cut on
the head or the knife cut in the body: |
on this account the higher court held |
the case was not made out. In this | |
think the court was wrong, and while
it would take too long to discuss it, | |
content myself with calling the atten-
ton of the legal profession to the
-wo opinions of said court (1O1 S. W.,
242) and the old article $40 and new !
