A Wisconsin couple the othe

A Wisconsin couple the other
day announced that they would
send out no invitations to their
wedding and would expect no
presents, but that an admission
fee would be charged at the
church door for all who cared to
witness the ceremony. It prob
ably was not necessary to put
out any S. R. O. sign at the
church, but the couple had the
comforting assurance that all
who coughed to see the
ceremony parted with their
money willingly, and the couple
that had the nerve to set that
precedent doubtless will gel
more satisfaction and service out
of what they will be able to buy
with the money raised in thai
way than would have been got

would have been unloaded OF

friends in the usual way.

NIGHT-RIDER MURDERERS
ESCAPE.

NIGHT-RIDER MURDERERS
ESCAPE.
Look you now, what follows,
from a dispatch of the Sd from
Jackson, Tenn:
''The cases of the eight night
riders, 6 of whom were under
the death sentence charged with
the murder Of Captain Quentin
Rankin, at Walnut Log, on Reel
Foot lake, October 19 last, were
reversed by the State Supreme
Court today and were remanded
for new trials.
''The six men, who were under
the death sentence are Garret
Johnson, alleged leader Of the
night riders organization in
Obion county; Arthur Cloar, Fred
Pinion, Sam Applewhite, It'd
Burton and Roy Ransom. The
other two, Bud Morris and Bob
Huffman, were convicted of muir
der in the second degree.
The opinion in the case was
delivered by Special Justice
Henry A. Craft, of Memphis, ap-
pointed in the stead of Justice
M. M. Neil.
I'm reversing the case, he as
signed two principal reasons.
The first was that the grand jury
which found the indictments
against the alleged night riders,
was not selected in a proper man
ner The grand jury was select
ed out of a panel named by Judge
J. E. Jones, the trial judge,
whereas the law provides the
panel must be chosen by at least
three members of the county
court. The second error on
which the reversal was based is
that the State did not allow the
defendants a sufficient number of
challenges. The 8 were tried on
one indictment and trial court up
held the States contention that
the eight defendants were only
entitled to the legal number of
challenges. twenty-four, which
would apply if one man was on
trial.
when Justice Craft conclud-
ed his opinion a storm of ap.
plause broke out in the court
room, but was quickly stopped
by the marshal and his deputies.
The prisoners will be taken back
to Union City and an effort will
be made to secure their release
on bail pending a second trial on
their cases.
So. When these men were
convicted and sentenced the en-.
tire country applauded and the
hope was indulged that six Of
them would get the hanging they
So richly deserve; but 10, a quirl
and a turn, and they escape. L
looks like the safest crime a mar
may commit is murder, if hi:
