of Redman nor that of the pitcher,
Comingor would have counted. But
even at that the record made by Han

so. In the past two games he has

To Punish For Contemplation the
first time in so serious case' says a
Washington dispatch, the supreme
court of the United States Will, on next
Tuesday week, undertake g mete out
punishment for the crime of contempt
of the court itself, and the Importance
of the occasion will be enhanced by the
number OF the defendants.
The proceeding will take place In
connection with the cases of Sherin
Shipp and Deputy Sheriff Gibson OF
Hamilton county, Tenn, and four other
residents of that county, named res
pectively, Williams, Nolan, Padgett ana
Nav. These men were today declared
nv the court to be found guilty Of an
act of contempt in combining in March,
1905, in a conspiracy to lynch a negro,
Ed Johnson, who had been sentenced
to death by the local courts on the
charge Of assault and in whose case the
the supreme court had interfered to the
extent of granting an appeal which
had the effect of supersedeas. On the
night following the announcement oi
the courts action Johnson was taken
out of the Jail in Chattanooga by a
mob and lynched. There was no re-
sistance on the part Of the Jail author
tiles and Shipp and number of his
DEPUTIES, as well as about twenty-five
citizens, were proceeded against on the
charge of contempt of the Federal
court.
The case has been pending ever since
and the number of defendants was
from time to time reduced to nine. Or
these nine, three were today found
guiltless, while the other six We're or
dered to be brought into court next
Tuesday week for sentence. They will
be taken into custody Immediately. and
will appear in court in charge OF Mar
shal Wright The sentence may be
either fine or imprisonment, or both.

- The Charlotte police caught two
slick pickpockets at the Southern rail-
way station on May 20. They were
both working at the trade at the time.
One gave his name as Lamont and the
other gave his name as John V. Da-
wilson. On Davidson, the police found
only SIS, on Lamont they found $500
in cash, some watches, rings and fish
hooks, the latter being tools of the
pickpocket trade. Later the police
stripped Davidson for the purpose Of
measuring him in accordance with the
Bertillon system, and found $500 more
money in a sack pinned to his under
shirt. They also found diamond ring
in the toe Of the fellows boot. David
son broke down and cried as his wealth
was taken from him. On Friday he
was taken before the police court and
bound over in the sum Of $1,000. 1t
was after that the fellows friends got
busy. Several Of them got them
selves arrested on the charge OF
gambling, and pretending their in
ability to pay bond were taken to the
lookup. Afterward still other confed-
crates went to the recorder with the
release money, got releases and went
to the Jail. 1t is thought that they
picked their time when those who knew
their man was away. Anyhow David
son answered to the name Of one of
the men who was to be released, and
was allowed to pass out. All Of the
people connected with the game were
also connected with one or the other of
the carnival companies operating in
Charlotte during the week. The police
are feeling like kicking themselves for
the escape of Davidson, who was evil
