BE WITNESSED IN TnE sU-
PREME COURT.
SECOND CASE N HISTORY
Tennessee Sheriff and Other Defend
ants Must Come Before Bar Of High
est Tribunal Of United States to
Hear Pronouncement Of Penalty for
Contempt Of Court.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The unusual
proceedings of an arraisnment for
sentence at the bar of the supreme
court Of the United States will he wit
messed two weeks from today. in ac-
cordan.e with an announcement made
today i'm the cases Of Joseph ii. Shipp
OF Chattanooga. Tenn. and five CO.
defendants charged with contempt.
The cases originated in the United
States courts deciding in March. 1906.
to hear the appeal of IL negro. I'd
Johnston. from verdict of the Ten
nesse courts. holding him guilty and
sentenced to be hanged on Il charge
of criminal assault. The night after
the determination of the supreme
court to review the proceedings in
the case was wired to Chattanooga
where Johnston was confined in Jail.
n mob stormed the Jail and took him
out and lynched him.
The court was incensed and at its
instance the attorney general insti-
tuted proceedings against Shipp, who
the jailer. supposed to have been i'm
plicated in the lynching. charging
them with contempt of the supreme
court. Six were found guilty. These
We're Sheriff Shipp. his deputy. Jere-
miah Gibson. who was the jailer; Lu-
ther Williams. Nick Nolan, Henry
Padget and William Mayes, residents
of Chattanooga.
The defendants entered motions for
re-hearing which had the effect of
postponing action until the present
term. The court today. through Chief
Justice Fuller. announced it's denial OF
the motion. the chief justice at the
same time ordering the defendants to
appear on November Ii to receive SEN
tence. The court has the discretion
either to fine or imprison the men or
to inlfict both penalties. 1t is only
known that the court has appeared
exceptionally interested in the case
and is believed to feel that an exam
pie must be made. 1t Is recalled. how
ever. that several of the members of
the court. among whom was the late
Justice Peckham. dissented from the
decision which may have the effect
of lessening the severity of the SEN
tenee.
The only instance of sentence for
contempt in the courts history oc-
CURED in 1875. when John Chiles. who
was concerned in dealings i'm Texas
indemnity bonds contrary to an order
of the court. was ordered to pay a
fine of $3.50.
=.
Shipp and Gibson declare there was
no advance indication of violence To
Johnston and say that otherwise they
would have taken every precaution.
Some Of the men implicated claim not
to have been present when the ne
gro WAS killed by the mob.

Published reports that the demo-

forces and have done anything to
precipitate election troubles are un-
true. The republicans have deter
mined to defeat a fair election and to
resort to any fraud they could con-
ceive in order To defeat the will of
the people. A large majority OF the
people are suppe rting the deMscratic
nominee. The excitement was caused
by the action ct the country court BY
giving the official ballots for one of
the precincts to a man named Sebas-
tian. two days before the day fixed
by law for distribution. When the
ballots arrived they We're deposited in
the Jackson bank for safekecping by
the county clerk.
In violation of the agreement that
the ballots should be delivered to the

clerk by a pre-arranged plot between

force to the bank. took out the bal
lots for the crockettesviile precinct on
