JUDGE GRACE
 FIRES" A JURY Tells Twelve Men That They Had Poor Judgment and
 Are Discharged.
ACQUITTED A NEGRESS
The Woman Admitted That She Re- ceiNed Stolen Property From il
 Negro Thief.

Il do not wish to reflect on your Integrity as men, but do say that your judgment is so poor that you cant understand the instructions oi the court as to the law and the weight and effect of the testimony in this case. You are discharged from fur ther attendance upoH this court
 With this oral censure from the bench Judge Anthony B. Grace de- liberately fired" twelve jurors from service in the Jefferson circuit court Wednesday, shortly after the noon hour, when the jury, after two hours deliberations, returned verdict of not guilty in the case of Belle Davis, a negress, who was tried on a charge of receiving stolen property. The dismissal of the jurors will necessi- tate the summoning of twelve more jurors to fill the vacancies on the second yenire of the petit jury. The Davis woman walked out of the court room free.
 Belle Davis admitted on the witness stand that she had received two dia- mond rings aud other ieWelry from Bootsie' James, notorious negro daylight robber. who, after leaving inc valuables with the woman here, escaped to Memphis, where he was la ter captured by Constable Frank
 ,uwart. James is now in jail here
 ugting trial on several charges of robbery and grand larceny. Charley Hull, another negro, who was arrest ed with the Davis woman on a sim liar charge, is also awaiting trial in the county jail.
 According to the evidence the dia- mond rings were stolen from the homes of Hubert E. Strange and Car ter B. Murphy. James took them to the Davis womans home in the south eastern suburbs of the city and de- livered them to her for safe keep ing. He told her to hide them for fear Hull might come around and sswipe'' them again. The woman hid the val uables under the roof of her home. When James was arrested he made confession and implicated the Da- wis woman and Hull. The Davis wo- man declared that she did not know that the gems ha dbeen stolen She was defended by Attorney Maurice Reinberger and I. F. Long.
 The members of the jury, who sud denly lost their jobs, were: W. W. Hawkins. T, J, Poteet, T. F. Cady, Lark West, J. H. King, R. L. Poteet, II. c. Hunt, w. P. Mcintyre. s J. Woodruff, Fl. l.. Hankins, Gud Petty adn w. C. Jordan.

GEORGE CHANDLER
 IS PARDONFD Endorsement on Document Says Surrett was Slain
 to Protect Home
PETITION PRESENTED

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 21.=This aft ernoun George L. Chandler. who on the night of January % shot and killed W. P. Surrett, will leave the peniteu- tiary free man, Acting Governor .l%s. T. Robertson having this morn ll., granted Chandler a full pardon aa result of the invasion of the sanctitv of his home by Snrrett.
 Surrett and Chandler were brake men on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern railroad and resided in Argenta. They had known each oth- CT for a number of years, and had been apparently fast friends until Chandler through statements made by his little son, came to suspect that Surrett had ruined his home According to alIeya- tions made and evidence later dis closed, it is said Surrett even boasted of what he had done
 Met in Lodge Hall.
 One evening the two men met on their way to the lodge hall where the locomotive firemen regularly8 held their meetings, On their way Ghand- Ter is said to have charged Surrett with having wronged him by break ing up his home, to which, il is said Surrett gave the lie, and, according to Chandler, reached for his gun
 He never carried out any intention he may have had in his mind, how ever, for Chandler, in quick success sion, fired two shots, the bullets strik- ing Surrett squarely in the forehead He sank to tke landing at the head or the lodge room stairway. and eX- pired in a few moments, without mak- ing any statement in the matter.
 Chandler left the room, eXclaiming that he had acted in the defense of his home and honor. He surrendered immediately to the officers, and on February ) was held to the grand jury on charH of murder in the first degree, on a preliminary hearing be- fore Justice Ivy. His trial in the cir cult court in May resulted in a re- duction of the case to second degree murder with conviction and penal sentence of two years

MONSC. LUCEY SENDS
 REPLY 10 PERRIN
Says Resolution Adopted by Little Rock Socialists is Suspiciousiy An- archistic and DiscOurte0us in Ex precision.

After receiving a resolution, adopt ed by the Little Rock socialists, al a meeting held Sunday, Inviting him to debate with socialist leaders at the capital and defend Spain for the kill ing of Prof. Ferrer, Monsignor J. M Lucey, pastor of the St. Joseph Cath ollc church here and vicar general. of the Catholic church in Arkansas, yesterday addressed the following re- ply:
 Mr. E. W. Perrin, Sec. Little Rock Socialist Local,
 Little Rock, Ark.
 Dear Sir:
 Your letter of the 25th inst. witb enclosed resolutions has been receiy- ed. l do not feel justified in closing my church next Sunday evening and leaving my congregation without the usual divine service in order to 20 to a theatre in Little Rock to participate in a socialastic event such as you de scribe. While your letter is courte- ous in tone, the first part of the paper of resolutions is preposterous in assumption: suspiciously anarchis- tic in principle, and discourteous in expression. In my opinion, no minis ter of a Christian church in the Unit ed States would willingly stand and argue on the platform which the pre- amble to the resolutions lays down.
 Yours truly,
 J. M LUCEY.
