COLEMAN TALKS ON WHAT IS WH|SKY?' Judge Rules Whisky Must Be
 Seen LABEL IS INSUFFICIENT Box Labelled "Whisl<y" or Bin of Lading Marked "Whisky" Is Not Enough Evidence to Con-
 vict a Man
LABEL IS INSUFFICIENT

Anniston, October 15-(Special.)-In the city court of Anniston this week, Judge Thomas W. Coleman, Jr., rendered what is regarded as a far-reaching opinion. sone which, it is believed, will have marked effect on the trial of alleged vio- lators of the Alabama statewide prohi- bition.l law. It brings up again the now famous query, What Is whisky?'' and 1t Is believed that 1t renders ineffective the federal statute which requires that all whisky shipments be labelled, as the Anniston jurist holds that the mere fact that a shipment is marked as containing whisky does not constitute sufficient evf- dence on which to convict.
 The ruling In question was in the case of one Rufus Berry, who was ordered discharged by the court on account of the inadeouacy of the evidence against him. According to the testimony of wit nesses, quite large number of shipments marked whisky and consigned to the de- fendant were brought to Anniston by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany within a very short period of time and delivered by the railroad company to .draymen on orders from the defend- ant Berry. The proof showed that one of these shipments. containing 200 bot ties, had been broken open while in the railroads possession, that 1t was carried by a negro drayman to a house which he thought, from directionsQhat had been given him by. the defendant, was Berry's home, and that he turned 1t over to a 1xx !. <&Ir ta t>< xrrifn
 The opinion in part is as follows:
 "Of course, we assume as matter of fact, without thinking about 1t much one way or the other. If we saw a package contained in a freight depot marked whisky, we would naturally suppose 1t was whisky, but 1t would be supposition,, it would not be evidence, and I think the illustration I gave would convince any body on a moments thought that you could not take 1t as evidence if you were trying man for larceny. Suppose you were trying a man for larceny of a box containing shoes and all the evidence you had was that box was marked on the back of 1t Shoes and there was way bill made out by somebody in another state marked Shoes the wayblll Is hear say, that is evidence of somebody else. The mere fact that the box Is marked on the back of 1t Shoes Is not legal evil dence 1t Is shoe at all
 But of course that doesn't touch the proposition of the drum which was brok- en open. I have no doubt that that Is legal evidence; the testimony of MT. Flames and the other witness that they counted the bottles in that package and it looked like whisky, together with the labels on it, have no doubt that that would be sufficient evidence to submit to the jury the question of whether or not

CONFERENCE CONFINES
 AT ALEXANDER CITY

Alexander City, October 15.-(special.)- The thrtieth annual session of the North Alabama conference, woman's Foreign Missionary society. is now being held in Alexander City The opening meeting was held Thursday evening at o'clock. Devotional exercises were conducted by the Rev. A. J. Notes.-The. Special music was rendered by the choir. Addresses of welcome from the Juvenile society, by Miss Helen Molen, from the Young Peo- ple's society, by Miss Emma Lillian Pearson, and from the Adult society. by Mrs. A. J. Notes.-The, were responded to by Miss Mary Norman Moore. president of the Conference society. After this in spring talk, an informal reception was held in order that the delegates might have an opportunity to know each other and meet Miss Maidee Smith, returned missionary from Brazil. and also Miss Wu, Chinese girl from Miss Virginia M. Atkinson's school in Soochow, China, who
 is being educated by Mrs. T. T. Hillman of Birmingham at La Grange, Ga.

1t was whisky. We are not limited to one way of determining what thing Is; we can determine it by sight or by smell or by taste, either, sometimes by feeling 1t. Whether or not the evidence of one par ticular sense, sight, taste or smell, would be sufficient, of course, would be ques- ton for the jury But we can't say as matter of law that a man can't tell whisky by looking at it. we can't say that his judgment and view of the thing that 1t Is whisky; we can't say that that is not sufficient to prove 1t is whisky. But granting or conceding that is evidence that 1t is whisky, there Is not any legal evidence here that this defendant ever had that whisky in his possession or kept 1t for sale.
 Now. the evidence Is that this dray- man delivered the shipment at house which he took to be MT. Berry's house; that he delivered it at a house, as near as he could get at it, according to Mr. Berrys direction. But even suppose 1t was MT. Berry's house, now suppose that is admitted, that there is no question about that being MT. Berry's house, why, 1t is a matter of conjecture that MT. Berry ever took that whisky into his act ual possession or kept 1t in possession. That is not a matter which must lie in conjecture. We suppose that he did and we may believe 1t, but what evidence Is there that MT. Berry had that whisky in his possession or kept 1t in possession7
 Now, as a matter outside of the rules of evidence, if a man Is not accustomed to weighing testimony according to legal rules, he might conclude MT. Berry went there and took the whisky in his posses sion, but that Is a matter of conjecture, there is no evidence he did take 1t in his possession or kept 1t in his possession. whether for sale or otherwise. We sup pose he did; we do not know 1t sufficiently to say we believe it beyond a reasonable doubt because there Is no evidence on which we could base a presumption of that sort.
 "I don't think that ought to be infiu- enced in my ruling by the question as to whether or not there are other cases of similar kind on the docket. l might have to be influenced to some extent by where my mind is clear, my own con- viction Is clear. don't see why should defer to the judgment of the supreme court in 8 matter on which they have not passed. Of course. they occupy higher position than I do, but their duty Is no more incumbent on them than mine is on me. If I do not think the evidence is sufficient to convict man I cannot convict him for the purpose of letting the supreme court pass on 1t; I cannot de- prive him of legal right in order that the supreme court may pass on 1t.
 "I don't think the evidence Is suf- ficient to go to the jury. I will enter an order dismissing the case for lack of sufficient evidence"

Monte Carlo, October 15.-Albert, Prince of Monaco, today again bowed to the will of his handful of subjects and, ac- cepting the terms of the popular ultima tum, granted the establishment of a na- tional treasury through the operation of which the revenues of the principality and those of the prince will be kept dis tinct.

A Great Work Being Done by the

Of special interest to the farmers
along the Clinchfield railway is the
important announcement that the in
dustrial department of the Carolina,
Clinchfield and Ohio railway, under
the direct supervision of r. F. Brewer,
industrial agent, will run its second
annual farmers institute train through
Virginia and Tennessee ON Monday and
Tuesday, the 26 and 20 of November.
A year ago this train was run by Mr..
Brewer, and the Clinchfield people
were exceedingly gratified at the inter-
est shown by the farmers along the
line, and feel that it is kind of work
that is badly needed throughout this
section. The running of this second
train shows to the farmers that the rail-
road people are much interested in the
farmers welfare and the development
of the section through which it travcrs-
es; realizing that the success of the far
mers will ultimately result in good TO

that the prosperity of the people means

MOST UNUSUAL CASE
INVOLVING A DIVORCE

Knoxville, Nov. 14.-In a supreme
court opinion rendered Saturday by
Judge Grafton Green, former rulings of
that court were overruled. The decis-
ion was in the divorce suit of Hester
Toncray VS.. s. A. Toncray, the suit
coming from Carter county. Toncray
deserted his wife in 1893 and went so
Virginia, where he procured a divorce
and again married, without notifying
his wife of the divorce proceedings.
Two years ago Toncray's wife died and
left him considerable property. The
Tennessee wife then brought suit for
divorce and alimony, and the court
held that, since she had no notice of
the divorce proceedings in Virginia
she was not debarred from instituting
divorce proceedings on her own ac-
count account, and was not precluded
from obtaining alimony. She was al
lowed alimony.
