JORDAN murder Case
BEFORE SUPREME COURT

Jackson, Miss, June 2.-Hon. j. B..
Stirling has been appointed special
judge of the supreme court by Gov
ernor Noel to sit in the place of Chief
Justice Whitfield in the H. c. Jordan
case, which is being argued before
that tribunal this afternoon.
Judge Whitfield will be absent from
the capitol until Thursday, being in
attendance upon the commencement
exercises of the A, & NJ, College and
the University of Mississippi.
The Jordan case now rests upon
much less defense than it had a few
days ago, when Hon. E. M. Barber, as
attorney for the defense, had depend
ed largely upon the question of juris-
diction, claiming that the case should
originally have been tried at McHenry,
the proposed county seat of the second
district of Harrison County as it was
proposed to have it created, instead
OF at Biloxi, the original county seat of
the entire county. This defense was
knocked out by a recent decision of
the supreme court which held that the
act of the legislature in repeating the

Three years ago w. r. Hearst ran
against George B. Mcclellan for Mayor
of Greater New York. On the face of
the returns Mcclellan was elected and
received the certificate, but Hearst
raised the cry of fraud and the matter
went into the courts. A recount of the
votes was begun few days ago and is
now in progress. Out of the first eight
boxes Hearst gained so votes. At this
rate he will receive a majority by the
time the entire vote is counted, which
will require about $50 days at the pres
ent rate. This would permit Mr..
Hearst to serve as mayor less than
four months before the expiration of
the present term, but the victory
would be worth while.

law creating this second district was
constitutional, and that in fact. the
second district had never existed.
The other points of the defense lie
in the alleged reversible errors of the
trial court, in which there is nothing
particularly new or interesting.
Jordan ran a saloon at McHenry, but
lived in another town about four miles
away, where he had quarrel with
young Rob Davis, afterward meeting
Davis on the street and shooting him
down. Witnesses differ on the ques-
ton as to whether Davis was trying
to draw a gun at the time Jordan fired.
Jordan was given life sentence,
from which the appeal is taken.
A peculiar feature of the case is the
fact that Jordan was one of the COM
missioners appointed by Governor
Vardaman to hold the special election
for the division of Harrison County
into two districts, which later became
an important point in his defense, and
which defense was ruthlessly shattered
by the recent decision of the supreme
court.

The municipal primaries have been

usual, but most people, including the
candidates, will endorse the move

Hattiesburg in favor of frightening
