THE PHILOSOPHY OF BILLY GLYNN

IF you don't know anything, it's just as well
not to express it.
Some people spend their time on castles in
the air; Others in airing their castles
A mans fate usually is the limits that
prejudice has created for him.
The man who goes in to clean politics is
usually cleaned out himself.
Opportunity knocks once, and knocks you
down the next time.
Intellect is action. and as great as it does.
Youth lights its fire with Goals from the ash
pile of age, and age is warmed again in the
reflection of youth.
You may be able to tell man by his walk;
but his wife usually cages him by the clock.

JUROR IN THE
 CARMACK CASE
 UNDER ARREST
Is Charged With Perjury by States Attorney After Be- ing Excused From
 Jury.
Likely to Bring Present Trial to a Sudden End - Leigh Had Formed Opinion-An- other Juror Under Fire on Charge of Drunkenness.
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 28.-Removing Juror c. s. Leigh, who had been at tackled by the State in the Cooper Sharp murder case, Judge Hart today present trial to a sudden ending. The attorneys for the defense declare that, inasmuch as the creditability of one juror has been assailed the other eight men who have been locked up with him and who are thus exposed to 'con- tamination' should be questioned and the work of selecting a jury begun all over.
 Judge Hart has taken the argument under consideration and will render a verdict later. The remainder of to- days session is being devoted to an in vestigation of tn echarges of habitual drunkenness brought against Juror Jackson. Numerous witnesses testi- fled against him.
 Judge Hart today in his decision in the Leigh case declared that the juror was disqualified and excused from fur ther service on the ground that he had 'formed an opinion when selected. Leigh was held for investigation by the Grand Jury on an alleged charge of perjury preferred by the State. ::
 Judge Hart refused to hold Juror Leigh but Attorney General McCarn had made arrangements to have him arrested and this was done. McCarn personally swore out the warrant al- leging that Leigh perjured himself when under examination as to his qualifications for jury duty. The case was taken at once before the David son county Grand Jury now in session. In the meanwhile Leigh was arraign- ed before a justice of the peace and gave bond for his appearance when wanted.
 The arrest has created a profound sensation, although Judge Hart declin- ed to pass upon the States charges of drunkenness, declaring that 1t. was controverted and that the question of opinion was sufficien to disquilify.
 Juror Jackson was excused by con- sent of both sides on the ground that he is disqualified by reason of his per- sonal habits.

One, a Paralytic, But Violent, Sent to Middletown - One Will be Deported to Austria Third is Held Until Friends are Known.

The authorities do not remember a time when they have been so bothered by women, who either are insane, or act so as to convey the impression that mental balance is lacking. Only yes- terday Blanche Bernice Sterling was weighed and found mentally sound. To-day three other women were sub- jected to the same process. One was taken to Middletown. Another will be deported to Austria. The third will probably be returned to her home in New Jersey.

Two weeks ago Miss Angus was taken to headquar- ters for the same purpose. She had been seen standing near the Atlantic hotel on Fairfield avenue for several hours. Her actions attracted attention and gave reason for a question as to her sanity. At headquarters she was placed in charge of Matron Hill who was unable to see anything wrong with the girl mentally. Later a man ap- peared at headquarters and said he knew the girl and would telegraph her sister who lives in New Jersey, to come and get her.

She has torn her clOth- ing and attacked every person who came within reach. She was taken to the train in the ambulance and was moved on a stretcner.
