Judge Jones at Union City, Modifies
Bail Order in Certain Instances.

Judge Jones has modified his order
in the matter of the bonds in the Night
rider cases. He allowed. the bonds of
the six men who were convicted OF the
murder of Quentin Rankin and sem
fenced to be hanged, and whose cases
were reversed by the Supreme Court, to
remain at $25, 900 and allowed Bud
Morris and Bob Huffman to give bonds
in the sum of $40, 900 each. as they had
been convicted of murder in the second
degree. The remaining prisoners were
allowed to make bonds in the sum of
$5, 600 each. This, the court said, was
done after due deliberation and because
he thought it was hardship on the
poor men who could not make bond,
and would have to remain in jail, while
the defendants who were able to make
it gained their liberty, and he had taken
the matter up on his own motion. This
seemed to meet with the approval OF all
concerned, and the defendants expect
now to make bonds.
Fred Pinion, Garrett Johnson and
Bob Huffman have also made bonds.

TWO VERDICTS. !
(Arthur L. Tubbs.)


She was a woman, worn and thin,
Whom the world condemned for a single sin;
They cast her out on the kings highway,
And passed her by as they went to pray
He was man and more to blame,
But the world spared him breath OF shame;
Beneath his feet he saw her lie,
But raised his head and passed her by.
They were the people who went to pray
At the temple of God on holy day;
They scorned the woman, forgave the man.
1t were ever thus since the world began
Time passed on and the woman died
On the cross of shame she was crucihed.
But the world was stern and would not yield,
And they buried her in the Potter's field
The man died too, and they buried him
In a casket of cloth with a silver rim,
And said as they turned from his grave away,
I'VE have buried an honest man to-day"
Two mortals, knocking at heavens gate,
Stood face to face to inquire their tate;
He carried a passport with earthly sign,
But she a pardon from Love Divine,
O. We who Judge 'twixt virtue and vice,
which think you, entered to Paradise?
Not he whom the world had said would win,
For the woman alone was ushered in
After rendering few more very fin'
strains upon the violin, he arose to go
''Well, boys, hope you may neve
travel over my thorny path and feel thy
