The Trial Of zammls.

The case of c. Zammit for assault to murder. to be tried tomorrow in the City Court. Is one of unusual interest because of peculiar features connected with it.
 About fourteen months ago zammit shot William Wilkins, fracturing his spine and inaicting wound from which Wilkins has ever since been paralyzed and from which he will sooner or later die.
 Zamrnit was imprisoned and refused bond pending the result of the wound. No examination was held as no charge of murder or manslaughter was pre- ferred nor could d complaint of a les- ser crime be made, as Wilkins's phy- sician could not certify his probable recovery. Several grand juries passed without needing the case.
 Just before the late grand jury was convened. Zammit's lawyers called at tention to the fact that he had been imprisoned over twelve months with- out bail and without examination and that he could not now be legally charg- ed with murder or manslaughter and 1t would therefore be perfectly proper for the grand jury to indict for as- sault to murder and permit him to go to trial on the merits of the case. His attorneys expressed the belief that the evidence will acquit him of any crime
 Be that as 1t may. his long incar- ceration has insured him from punish rnent of the higher crime even though Wilkins should now die, as the result of his wound.

RULES ON SCOTTCASE
JUDGE sEMsaEs DIsMIssEs THE
 DEFENDANT.
Holds That Nine O'Clock Closing Case Should Have Gone to the Mo-
 bile County Grand

: Mobile. June 22--tspec.al )--Judge O. ]. Semmes, of the Mobile City Court, made an interesting ruling today Bear ing upon clause of the new code.
 Some time ago Larry Scott, proprie. tor of a saloon on Davis Avenue. was arrested on complaint of w. J. D. Branscomb. for violating the 3 o'clock closing law. He demanded a jury trial and his case went forward to the City Court
 It has been customary for such cases to go before the grand jury for a hearing, but a clause of the new code provides that when an appeal is taken in cases for violation of the statute re- gardng the sale of whiskey. the grand jury shall have no jurisdiction, the mere appeal placing the case on the docket Of the higher court
 The late grand jury and the court officers are supposed to have had this clause in mind. for the jury failed to indict Scott, yet the officers placed his case on the City Court docket.
 The case was reached today and was dismissed without evidence. Judge Semmes holding that the clause in question applied only to the general prohibition law and did not affect ap- peals under the 2 o'clock law.
