and the Importance of the occasion will
be enhanced by the number of defend
ants
The proceeding will take place in
connection with the cases of Sheriff
Ship and Deputy Sheriff Gibson Of
Hamilton county, Tennessee. and of
four other residents Of that county.
These men have been declared guilty
of combining in 1905 in a conspiracy to
lynch a negro named johnson, who
had been sentenced to death for at
lacking a woman, and in whose case
the supreme court had granted time
for an appeal.
On the night following the an
nouncement of the courts action John
son was lynched.
First Case of It's Kind.
This practically is the first time that
the highest court in the United States
has ever undertaken to assert its dig.
nifty or to resent acts or words reflect
ing upon it.
In these cases of Sheriff Shipp and
Deputy Gibson the court in effect de-
clares that there may be contempt in
a failure of officers of the law to pre-
vent crime.
Chief Justice Fuller quoted from an
Interview given out by Shipp some
days after the lynching in which Shipr
said that he "did not attempt to hurt
any of the mob" and in which he
charged the supreme court with the re-
sponsibility for the lynching because
of it's interference in the case.
"He evidently resented the order of
this court says Fuller, las an alien
intrusion, and declared that the court
was responsible for the lynching. Ac-
cording to him, the people of Hamil-
ton county were willing to let the law
take it's course until it became known
that the case would probably not be
disposed of for four or five years by
the supreme court of the United
States But he added, the people
would not submit to this, and do not
wonder at it.
Disagrees With the Chief Justice.
In a dissenting opinion by Justice
Peckham, which was acquiesced in by
Justices White and McKenna, there
was complete review of the case and
in this opinion the conclusion arrived
at was quite contrary to that of a ma
jority of the court. Justice Peckharn
said:
1.-The sheriff was sixty-three years
of age at this time, and, on account of
his physical condition. unable in any
event to have offered any great resist
ance. There were at least ten or fif-
teen of the men around him who were
armed and the sequel proved that
many more in the crowd were also
armed.
THAT he did not kill, or attempt to
kill, any member of the mob, is no
evidence whatever of completely with
these miscreants, and certainty no
evidence of contempt of this court. 1t
seems to me most extraordinary that
even an official under these circum-
stances can be found guilty of con-
tempt because in fact he did not resist
to the death"

SOLONS MAY NOT

Points in the Opinion.
Madison, Wis, May 24.-Members
of the legislature are not subject to
subpoena of the house of which they
are now members during the legisla-
tive sessions, but are subject to such
subpoena after the expiration of their
constitutional privilege. This is the
substance of an opinion given by At
torney General Gilbert to Senator
Marsh, chairman of the senate inVes-
tigating committee. which has been
making an inquiry into the senatorial
primary election.
The attorney general said that he
found no instances wherein the ques-
ton of privilege as applied to the sub
poena of an Investigating committee
had been involved. He said one of
the objects of privilege is to make
each house independent of the other
The attorney general concludes that
no member of the legislature. with the
possible exception of an investigation
into the qualifications of it's own mem
bers by either house during the period
~ tho f1rixyiJnon ic C11hSnnf IN c,1yh
poena of any committee.
In conclusion Mr.. Gilbert said no
member of the legislature was sub
ject to the subpoena of the other house
than that to which he belonged during
the period of his constitutional privi-
lege. After that had expired he stood
on an equal footing with any other
person and if the committee should sit
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture members whose testimony might
be desired could be brought before
the committee for examination.
The opinion follows the general be-
lief which has been held on this SUBJ
ject. 1t, however, leaves the matter
open as to how the committee can
compel a member to testify if he does
not see fit to do so. He can refuse
and then the committee can report
him to the senate for contempt. The
senate not being in session no action
can be taken until the special session
is called. Then the legislative privi-
lege of the members will become OPP
erative again.
