MOCK TRIAL AT HIGH SCHOOL.

During the absence Of Miss
Clara Davis from the High school
room, a few weeks ago Mr.. Bud
Mullins sat in her place, and in a
moment of rare forget fulness
carved his name on her desk, in
letters that time cannot efface.
When Miss Davis discovered
the marred condition of the desk,
she became very indigant, and
demanded reparation, in no un-
certain language. This Mullins
refused emphatically to make
claiming that her language,
without proper apology-for
bade him to acceede to her re-
quest. Matters went from bad
to worse and finally eliminated
in Miss Davis bringing suit
against Mullins, claiming $l.00
damages. The trial was set for
hearing last Friday afternoon,
in the presence Of the 1lth and
18th grades and few interested
friends.
Some little time was consum-
ed in selecting an impartial judge,
and a jury whom it was supposed
could not be bribed by love or
money.
1t also became necessary to sub
poena Co. Supt. Pinckney and
Judge Humphrey who proved to
be star witness. A lot of ex-
tremely sensational evidence was
introduced on both sides. The
regular court reporter, being
otherwise engaged, we are un-
able to give a verbatim report.
Suffice it to say that the Judge
sumed up the evidence, as i'm.
partially as any one could desire,
and charged the jury accordingly,
After being out only five
minutes the jury returned with
verdict in favor of the defendant,
giving him the privilege of pay
ing the costs.
To say the Judge was surpris-
ed expresses it mildly.
Mullins was flooded with con-
gratulations by the fair maids of
the two grades. While the
smile on the face of every Sunny
jim" nearly "came off" in their
efforts to console the fair prose-
cutor.
1t has since been learned that
grave suspicion has been cast
upon Mullins to the effect that
he tampered with the jury's
weakness for "gold bricks" or
something equally insnar ing.
The only grounds for the sus-
picion exists in the fact that
Mullins is heavy Cor hopes to
be) stock holder in the Eleptic
mine; and that on the strength
of the supposed recent find of
somekind of lore" that glitters,
he risked large part of his will
o-the-whisp fortune on securing a
verdict favorable to himself.
Investigation has failed to pro-
duce facts, so it is presumed
nothing further will be done.
