LOCATION..OF THE JAIL;
MONEY NOT YET RECEIVED
Chicago Firm Wants Different Seal; Believed
However Money Will Yet Be Received.

One of the most important ques-
tons to come before the board of
supervisors at the next session, which
begins Monday is the final decision
on the location of the new $4,000
Jail.
There is some division of sentiment
on the matter, but the general opin-
ion prevails that the jail will be To-
Gated on the court house square, near
the present site. 1t is argued in
favor of this that it will be much
more convenient for the court of
ficials and besides win save the
county several thousand dollars
which would otherwise have to be
expended in the purchase of a new
site. Those favoring the present
location assert that a handsome
building on the court house grounds
will not detract from the beauty
thereof, and in the opinion of some
it will make the court house grounds
look even better.
On the other hand there are a
Hattiesburg daily news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1907-1908, 1908-04-03
It's a Treat All Round

that he would be in the race, an
nounces a withdrawal in favor of his
kinsman, Major Pat Henry of Bran
don.
Although there had been rumors
current for some time that Major
Henry might become an aspirant, his
silence on the subject was con-
strued by many to mean that he did
not intend to make the race. Judge
Henry's letter of withdrawal is the
first official announcement of Major
Henry's intentions.
Judge Henry formerly represented
this district in congress, as did also
his uncle. Major Pat Henry. The
unexpected turn of affairs, however,
leaves two Henrys in the race, Col
R. H. Henry, of this city, editor OF
the Clarion-Ledger, having formally
announced some time since.
The withdrawal of Judge Henry
leaves two other aspirants in Warren
county, Hon. ]. D. Thames, district
attorney of the ninth district, and
Hon. ]. w. Collier. both able and
energetic campaigners. The othel
aspirant actually in the field is Hon
]. w. George of Yazoo City.
Thus it will be seen that every
county in the district except Madi
son will furnish a candidate and the
campaign promises to be one of thu
most interesting Mississippi ha!
witnessed in several years.

number of people who believe the
building of the jail will greatly mar
the beauty of court square"
After all, 1t is a matter about
which the board cannot please every
body and the members will have to
exercise their own good judgement.
In this connection, 1t is learned
that the board has not yet received
the money for the bond sale. The
Chicago firm that. closed the deal with
the board seems to think 1t absolute
ly necessary for the board of super
visors to have a seal of their own
to place on the borsls instead of
using the seal of the chancery clerk,
which is the only method of certi-
fication in this state.
The Chicago firm has been mott
fed that they must do something at
once, or the deal will be considered
Off The firm has up a certified
check for $500, which will go to the
county in case the deal should fall
through, which is not considered
likely

YOUNG men ACQUITTED
Of THE BRIBERY CHARGES
Cunningham and Harvey Released From Bride
Taking Charge Made by Syrians.

The police court had a long ses-
sion yesterday morning when the
cases of ]. B. Cunningham and D. G..
Harvey, charged with receiving i
bride, were placed on trial, the ses-
sion OF the court lasting until after
the noon hour.
The facts that were developed in
this case were about the same as out
lined by the Daily News yesterday
morning.
1t appears from the testimony
given. that Messrs. Cunningham and
Harvey had been engaged by Deputy
Sheriff McGilvray to assist him in
locating blind tigers and that in pur-
suance of this work, Cunningham
was a witness in a case against two
Syrians, Tom Abdelhud and NJ. Mia
sar, tried in Justice Wallis court
Tuesday, which resulted in con-
viction of Niasar and a mistrial in
U0e case Oh ADQelnuu.
The young men stated that they
were approached by a brother of
Abdelhud and asked what they would
take to compromise the case. They
stated that they at once reported the
matter to Deputy Sheriff McGilvray
and followed his instructions in the
matter.
The Syrians denied that they had
offered to bride the young men and
claimed that the defendants first ap
preached them and offered to leave
the country provided they were paid
enough for so doing.
They declared that one of the boys
stated that he would go to Mexico
where he had an uncle living. Ths
Syrians went to the police head
quarters and reported that they hat
been approached by the boys ant
were advised to arrange for a meet
ing and pay them $40 each. Police
men Norwood and Risher took thu
numbers of the bills that were to BE-
paid for the proposed disappearance
of the boys and these two officers
were on hand to nab the alleged
| bribe-takers when. the money was
passed. This they did, and placed
them under arrest, charging then
with conspiracy and the taking O
brides.

But it developed on trial that the
boys had reported to Deputy McGilv-
ray that the Syrians had offered them
something to leave the country, and
when the officer was apprised of
this fact, he told the young men to
accept the offer and bring him what
ever money they received. Mr.. Nc
-Gilvray testified that he told the de-
PENDANTS to demand a big sum-$150
each. Messrs. Horace Culpepper and
F. A. Evans also testified that they
heard the young men tell Mr. McGilv-
ray of the alleged offer that the
Syrians had made and also heard
the instructions given them by the
deputy.
The defendants testified that they
merely carried out the instructions
given them, and it was stated by
Mr.. McGilvray. that while he had not
talked with the district attorney
about this particular case that he
had conferred with him about similar
cases and that the district attorney
approved Of the plan.
One of the Syrians created much
amusement by constantly saying "the
long man, he say" and 1.-The little
man. he say" when attempting to
repeat the conversations he claimed
to have had with the defendants.
The Syrians had engaged the serv.
ices of Hon. Neil Currie to prosecute
the men on the part Of the city, and
he handled the case with great skill
but, in the opinion of Judge Johnson
the city failed to make out a case.
In rendering his decision, Judge
Johnson said that in order to con.
vict the accused of the charges
against them it was necessary for
the city to show criminal intent and
this had not. been shown; that in
order to believe that the young men
had acted for criminal purpose II
would be necessary to believe that
Messrs. McGilvray. Culpepper and
Evans had sworn to falsehood and
he could not believe this. He there
fore declared the defendants no,
guilty.
The Syrians of the city manifested
considerable interest in the case, as
a large number Of them attended the
trial
