Inhabitants of Venus, If there are

establish units of time. Venus always
turns the same face toward the sun;
SO the planet has no day, and the
lack of q moon deprives it Of a month.
Finally, it has n year, for its axis of
rotation is perpendicular to the plane
of its orbit, and the latter Is almost
circular.

der--May Get Verdict
Today.

Admission, May 11.-(Special.)-The
defense took the case in the Pope
murder trial this afternoon and a spe-
cial session was held tonight, Judge
Coleman having decided to rush the
trial OF the man accused of killing
McClurkin.
The crowds continue as large as
ever. The case was removed to the
circuit court room. which is more
spacious, this morning. The main au-
ditorium and the balcony were soon
packed and the doors were locked to
prevent a disturbance by the constant
influx and exodus of spectators.
The chief point made by the State
was the testimony of Deputy Eason,
who found the bloody shoes. and who
was addressed by Pope as "Mr. Nc
Clurkin-I mean Mr.. Eason," when the
arrest was made.
John Dodgen. a blacksmith, testified
to a similarity between the tracks
around the scene of the murder and
q defect in one hoof of Pope's mule.
The defense introduced Sheriff Lee
grande. who testified that McClurkin'
name had been mentioned before Pope
made the slip of the tongue. They
also introduced several witnesses who
testified to the good character or the
defendant, who was said to be appar-
emily not worried and in fine health
ON the morning following the murder.
In Directing to the testimony of
Deputy Rowland. who Is In charge of
the Jury, in which he was overruled.
Attorney Sterne raised a point OF law
which will be tested In the Supreme

The County Board of Revenue Has
Nothing 10 DO With the Deposit
of Funds by the County
Treasurer.

To all appearances, nothing will
come OF the little buster which was
raised at the meeting OF the County
Board of Revenue last Saturday, re-
garding the three per cent interest
proposition on the county money, as
offered by the New Farley National
Bank. County Treasurer Whiting will
not be asked to explain to the board
why he does not accept the offer, it
appears, for 1t Is none, of the boards
business.
The boards own attorney has said
SO. He shows the law, which says
that the County Treasurer may keep
the money where he sees fit; the
Board of Revenue Is merely custodian
OF the county's property in general;
as soon as 1t is converted to cash,
then 1t passes from their jurisdiction.
The Board of Revenue may ask
Treasurer Whiting why he does not; in
fact, unofficially, the Board has asked
him. And he replied that his arrange
ments as to deposits have been made,
and cannot be revoked.
The matter was broached by the Of
hcials of the New Farley Bank at the
meeting Saturday The Farley Bank

county In financial matters, having
