TO DEPOSE
MAYOR HUFF
Attempt Is Made by Frank
Marriott.
HIS MOTION IS OvERRULED
Alleged He Contributed to
Anti-Saloon League.
Mayor Hun Rules That No Jury
Can BE ImpaneIeG ana That rre
Has a Right To Sit In the Cases Now
Being Tried Before Him.

Previous to the opening OF the
trial OF Michael Burke. charged with
selling Intoxicating liquor to Wilbert
e. Stillwell at Prospect Thursday
morning, Frank Marriott, of Delaware.
VINO with Mouser and Moloney OF
this city is representing the defense.
made motion asking that the trial
De placed before Jury, declaring that
Mayor Huff Is incompetent to sit in
the case by virtue of the fact that he
had contributed money to the cause
Iof the Anti-Saloon league. The mo-
dion startled the court for some little
time and 1t was thought that II proof
or incompetency were made a Jury
would necessarily have to be impanel-
ed.
In answer to the motion of Mr..
Marriott, Mayor Hun plainly stated
the case at hand and was interrupted
throughout his remarks by the at
torneys for the lefense. Not stating
definitely whether he had even con-
tributed to the league or not, the Ma
yor defended his position by saying
that his was the highest court I'm
Prospect and that by reason of this
TACT he was competent to sit In the
case. There Is no jury sitting in the
courts OF Prospect and IL the case
must be tried by jury 1t should be
taken to the county courts. AS II
had been taken from the county
courts to the courts of Prospect, It
remained with the highest official of
that town to judge in the matter.
Mayor HUFF overruled one objections
OF the defense to the progress OF the
trial and the proceedings began late
In the morning. Adjournment was NOT
made for the noon hour until shortly
after IL o'clock and practically all OF
the morning session was occupied by
the examination of Detective Still
well who reviewed his past life In
some details and also narrated pur-
chasing OF drinks in company with
some OF his fellows at the Burke place
and gave practically the same testi-
mony as was given last Monday re-
garding the method used In obtain
ing liquor from Edward j. Burke, a
brother OF the man on trial today.
Witnesses for the defense are being
examined this afternoon and practical
iy the same witnesses are on the
stand who testified In the case against
pEdward Burke. It is probable that de-
Ecision will not be rendered before
Friday morning.
One OF the arguments presented BY
the defense In asking for new
trial was that Judge Il. b. Kinkead.
of Columbus, had rendered decision
Wednesday In which he declared that
the power OF the mayor of city as
police Judge is limited to the NUM-
lcipal limits. f,

DRIVEN AWAY
BY BROTHER
w. D. McKisson Complains
To Court.
SON TRIED TO SHOOT HIM
Claims Children's Minds
Poisoned.
Asks That Former Wife's Brother BE
Cited For Contempt and That De-
cree BE ModiHed--Bradford is Re-
leased on Cash Bond.

Charging that his divorced wife
Rebecca McKisson, her brother with
l'whom she lives, and a hired hand
have threatened him with bodily harm
and driven him away from their home
when he went to visit his children In
compliance with a court decree, w. d.
McKisson. today filed motion that
John Beacher, the brother be cited for
contempt and an application for a
modification of the former decree.
In the motion McKisson, through
his attorneys Crissinger and CUTLERY
claims that he went to the home OF
his wife in Ashland county July "a
last to see has children and to bring
them here for visit. The court in a
former order granted him this privi-
lege to be exercised twice annually.
He charges that Beacher took club,
threatened him and drove him away
On former visits Beacher, the di-
vorced wife and even the children,
in one instant his own nine-year-old
son, tried to shoot him with a shot
gun. He claims that his wife has pois-
oned the minds of their children
against him and that she Is not fit
to have charge of the children.
The trouble between the McKissons
first came into the courts in 1903 when
the wife, refusing TO live with the
husband tried to secure alimony, the
petition being dismissed. McKisson
then filed suit for divorce, alleging
cruelty and neglect. The case was con-
tested and the petition was dismissed.
The wife, at that time, was given the
custody of the children, and the father
was given the right to visit them at
all reasonable times without molesta-
tion and to bring them to his home
to visit him not more than twice
each year and at such times as the
visits would not interfere with their
attendance at school
The father claims that he has never
been able to visit his children at
any time nor has he been permitted to
take them for visit to his home
here.
After the court proceedings here
the wife secured q divorce in the
Ashland county courts but the Marion

as we have learned the law the answer is that
1t can.
We do not know much yet about the law.
All we are beginning to find out dates from
the night in January. 1916. when Prof Challis
looked through his telescope at the Cambridge
observatory and could not believe his eyes.
The spectacle he saw in the heavens was too
astonishing to believe. 1t was Biela's comet

had never been heard OF or imagined as pos
sibe. But in som: way it had actually oc-

forces? Had It come in reach OF the attrac-
tion Of one Of the planets and been pulled
apart? What must become Of a comet after
being thus split In pieces? Could 1t come

the twenty-fourth and twenty-ninth OF the
month the earth would pass In space through

been concluded that they were swarm OF

Hidden wrote its history in the American Jour

August 1885, he answered the question: "Is
It a piece OF comet?" by summing up the
evidence In connection with the known history
of Biela's lost comet, since IL split In 1846 and
